Sinner...

Witney opened our P.O. Box and a ton of mail fell out, so here's an extra episode of WE'VE GOT MAIL dedicated to everyone who took the time to send us snail mail! We've got the Crimson Dynamo, positive movies about middle-aged people, awesome zines, rare action figures, a new take on Disney's WISH and a letter that made Bibbs and Witney cry!

Is it better for a filmmaker to make a million movies or just a handful of great ones? Whatever happens to festival movies that don't get distribution? Is JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS is officially a classic yet? And how we can possibly fix the HALLOWEEN the franchise?

Because our patrons demanded it, Bibbs and Witney present their picks for the best films that flagrantly knocked off a pre-existing work!

You can probably think of plenty of so-called "mockbusters" but movie history is littered with great films, many of them classics in their own right, that wouldn't have been made - at least at the same time, in the same way - if it weren't for the success or notoriety of anothe...

Also on WE'VE GOT MAIL, Bibbs and Witney talk about movies famous for one shot or cinematic technique, why they've been too hard on Bones in the original STAR TREK, who should direct and star in one of the most exciting sci-fi movie ideas of all time, the difference (if there is one) between fiction and fan fiction, great Jesus and stoner movies, and a controversial element of CAPTAIN ...

The year was 1997, and American networks were racing to release their first animated primetime series just for adults! SOUTH PARK may be the one we all remember now, but Ralph Bakshi's forgotten HBO series SPICY CITY - a sexy cyberpunk noir anthology - hit the airwaves first!

There's nothing brave about CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD (or new, for the matter), but Bibbs and Witney review it anyway!

Plus: Osgood Perkins' horror comedy THE MONKEY, Scott Derrickson's monster-fightin' romance THE GORGE, the long-awaited return of BRIDGET JONES (she's MAD ABOUT THE BOY), the indie horror film THE DEAD THING, and Daisy Ridley tackles terrorists in CLEANER!

The dubba-dubba-WB won a bidding war for a cartoon sitcom about a mutated family who live in the landfill of an affluent suburb. Then they canceled it after only eight episodes!

Will Ferrell and Jean Smart co-star in THE OBLONGS, a relic of early 2000s boundary-pushing comedies that didn't always age well. Was this the big exception?

Filmmaker CHELSEA SPIRITO joins William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold to decide if THE OBLO...

Bibbs and Witney are back with a bunch of emails and letters from our awesome listeners!

On this episode of WE'VE GOT MAIL, they discuss the ongoing controversy of watching every movie with the subtitles on, look back at the history of pop culture hoaxes, try their best to be dishonest, recommend some amazing Japanese movies, and question their own judgment about the Tom Cruise MUMMY reboot!
