Tim Burton's adaptation of the beloved Roald Dahl classic caught Johnny Depp at the height of his "weirdo role" popularity. It made plenty of money but proved polarizing. How does it hold up after twenty years? First time guest Brian Anderson is here to discuss Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Continuing with our "worst Best Picture" theme. Braveheart was adored back in the day but these days Mel Gibson's historical epic has faded a bit from popular culture. Is Braveheart still the classic we all remember? Guest Nathan Perry is here to help us figure it out.

I had a podcast in Africa. Our first "worst Best Picture winner." Director Sydney Pollack's Out of Africa was big winner and commercial hit in 1985. It featured Meryl Streep and Robert Redford very much in their primes. So why, forty years later, is it often ranked as one of the "worst" Best Picture winners of all time?

Marvel and Joss Whedon were faced with the difficult task of delivering a sequel to the massively successful first Avengers. Age of Ultron was a huge hit but is generally seen as inferior to its predecessor. Why wasn't it better? Is it actually underrated? Guest Garret Ohringer returns for our Season Seven premiere to share his thoughts.

The first Harry Potter film was a massive success. The second, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, had a lot to live up to. Did it? First time guest and noted Potter-head Jake Valkusky joins the podcast to talk about it for our Season Six finale.

Broadsword calling Danny Boy. It's Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood doing really cool commando stuff! Where Eagles Dare is a World War II action classic but it doesn't quite have the recognition that we feel it should. We're covering this solely because we love and it want others to love it too. Guest Paul Kind joins to proclaim his love for it as well.
