This month we take a look at Tom Hanks' debut acting role in the made-for-TV movie, Mazes & Monsters. This episode was recorded about 6 weeks prior to release but was delayed due to technical issues, so some of the "current events" we discuss will be outdated at the time of release.

It's part 2 of our exploration of The Exorcist prequel films. This time we look at the original version directed by Paul Schrader. Is it any better than Renny Harlin's re-shot prequel? There's only one way to find out. Well, I guess there are two ways. You could watch them and decide for yourself, or you could just listen to us talk about them so you don't have to. You should probably do that.

For some reason we thought it would be a good idea to watch both versions of the Exorcist prequel, starting with Renny Harlin's reshot version, Exorcist: The Beginning! Next episode we will tackle the original version, Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist. Is this a terrible idea? Probably!

Since Buzz is back on the big screen we thought it would be fun to look back on his long-forgotten small screen debut! Buzz Lightyear of Star Command is the original origin story for the Space Ranger that Disney seems intent on forgetting. Does it hold up? Or does it suck to infinity and beyond?

Since it's the most romantic time of year we thought we should look at a film that captures one of the most romantic concepts of all: REVENGE! Valentine is a fun, holiday-themed slasher movie from the early 2000s by the director of Urban Legend.

In the post-apocalyptic wasteland, a cynical drifter agrees to help a small, water-rich community escape a horde of bandits.
