Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the biggest and most interesting movie stars in the world right now. Some might consider him the last great movie star as we move into a world with much better television and social media taking a much larger slice of the public attention pie. But Leo is still out here making premium movies for us to enjoy and dissect. In this episode we talk about his upcoming films, we go over his filmography, rank his performances, rank his co-stars and even talk about which of his characters we'd like to get a beer with.

In this episode, we tackle the different eras, we rank different tropes, we talk about our favorite shootouts. And of course, we finish off with our favorite movies of the Western genre. Saddle up, it's a wild ride.

Jack is out of town this week so Josh's wife, Rebecca joins the podcast and we talk about some of our favorite topics to talk about: Food, movies, and food IN movies. Sharing a meal can be a similarly communal experience like watching film. They bring people together, they generate conversation, and the great experiences will create lasting memories. In this episode, we discuss various uses of food and/or cooking in movies that both center and do not center around food. We discuss our own personal favorite meals and, of course, finish off with our favorite food movies.
