  • Annihilation
    2025/06/30

    Let's get weird with our first listener request of the season. Summer horror can be some of the best horror. Headlined by Natalie Portman, Alex Garland's sophomore effort impressed critics and almost everyone that saw it, but curiously made no money upon release. Producer Eric Taylor and guest Kai Wang join to discuss Annihilation.

  • Jaws 2
    2025/06/25

    Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. Jaws 2 is a film that realistically should have been worse than what it was. Often lumped together with the two sequels that followed, Jaws 2 seems to have been the first shameless "it happened again" sequel. But we have a lot of time for it. Patrick and Anton discuss summer horror.

  • Elemental
    2025/06/20

    The jury is still out on the legacy of this recent Pixar film. Elemental was minor hit for the studio but seems to divide fans. It's certainly ambitious, but could it have been better? Producer Eric Taylor wanted to join and share his thoughts.

  • The Living Daylights
    2025/06/18

    The Timothy Dalton chapter sadly only lasted for two films, but it began on a high note with The Living Daylights. Dalton's deadly serious approach to James Bond was something entirely different from his predecessors. Has it withstood the test of time? Guest Peter Baldeo is back to talk some Bond.

  • Batman Forever
    2025/06/11

    It's the 30th anniversary of Batman Forever, which makes a perfect episode for our Season Eight premiere. Joel Schumacher's zany, neon-drenched take on the Caped Crusader was polarizing but proved very popular at the time. It's gotten a lot of hate over the years but we suspect it has its fans. Guest Ryan Moran returns to share his love for it.

  • Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    2025/06/04

    We conclude Season Seven with the film that many Potterheads consider to be the finest in the series. The third entry, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was directed by the auteur Alfonso Cuarón. It is possible that it's somehow overrated? Or is it worthy of all the praise? Guest Jake Valkusky is back to discuss.
