  • 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.

  • Mountainhead
    2025/06/07

    A bonus weekend episode! Mountainhead is the new HBO film written and directed by Jesse Armstrong, the mind behind Succession. Four super rich tech bro friends plot world domination as deepfake-fueled chaos unfolds across the world. It's lofty. But should it have been better?

  • 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.

  • The Two Jakes
    2025/05/28

    Did you know there was a sequel to Chinatown? Jack Nicholson starred in, directed it, and unofficially co-wrote it. And almost nobody knows it exists. You would think this would have been a bigger deal. Why wasn't The Two Jakes better?

  • Funny People
    2025/05/26

    Funny People was supposed to be the crowning achievement of Judd Apatow's wildly successful 2000's run. With a great cast and an ambitious run time, audiences expected a masterpiece. What we got was an awkward blend of genuine comedy and surprising drama. Has it improved with age since its lukewarm reception? Guest Brian Anderson returns to share his thoughts.

  • Mission: Impossible 2
    2025/05/21

    With Tom Cruise at his absolute peak, and directed by action master John Woo, Mission: Impossible 2 was a massively successful sequel upon release in 2000. It's also universally derided as the weakest entry in the series. Since there's a new one coming out we decided to cover it. Why is Mi 2 such an outlier? Guest Tom Paradiso joins to discuss.
