Friday Sep 07, 2018
We're all we've got in this world, but we can't hug it out over Skype. Instead, we talk about The Endless, which is 100% a really really really okay (some might say "almost good") kinda movie.

Sunday Aug 19, 2018
Sunday Aug 19, 2018
On this one, we dive deep into the plasma pool with Beyond the Black Rainbow, unpacking the plot, symbolism, use of tropes in non-aesthetic ways (tools as tools!), and then we talk about brain-melting psychedelics and, ultimately, how Kill Bill 2 might just hold the key to the type of storytelling we want in our movies.

JDO was really frustrated on this one. But despite it all, we talk rationally about Sorry to Bother You, one of the best movies JDO has ever seen. Dave's not so sure, but he's happy when JDO's happy.

Monday Jul 02, 2018
We have a question:
What if the Predators in the latest unessential Predator movie 69'd?
Don't worry, we also talk about Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, how all opinions are invalid, and then stand back, because here comes a big-time lovefest for Hereditary.

Wednesday Jun 27, 2018
Tonight we go all-in on the worst movie of the summer, Den of Thieves, for our most "tacticool" episode yet. Which movies (besides Heat) does this thing rip off? Are movies getting darker or are they just getting darker? Does the profile fit the profile? What's the perfect Bad Cop Breakfast? And why why why does Stallone cut his pizza slice with scissors in Cobra? Answers inside.
