Yeah, it’s called the... uh... Revengers! Kent Fellure from the Ritual Misery podcast joins us as we continue our Guardians 3 Marvel watch-through and this time we're covering a Thor movie, specifically Thor: Ragnarok. This movie showcases Loki in a very different light than The Avengers and we've come up with the ...

So, you like cats. Our Marvel journey to fulfill our quest to watch Guardians 3 in theaters continues with Jeffrey Sax joining us to discuss the movie Avengers: Civil– oh sorry, Captain America: Civil War.

How do we know who the bad guys are? If they're shooting you, they're bad. To get ready for the theatrical release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, we are going back and watching some important Marvel movies. Our first one is Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Tom DiGianvittorio joins us to reminisce about t...

No, I am your father! It's Star Wars Day and we are joined by Kent Fellure from the Ritual Misery podcast to continue our Star Wars series of episodes.

I'm living to 102 and then I'm dying like the city of Detroit. This year's Valentine's Day movie is Deadpool and we are joined by regular Game Night contributor Dolan Moles to discuss it. Deadpool is a very unique superhero, err, antihero movie that has so many 4th wall breaks and self aware moments. The story also jumps forward and backward a lot, but Willie explains why this wasn't a problem for this particular movie for him. Plu...

Ice cream! Regular Game Night contributor Brian Kofford joins us to talk about the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind and the fact that this movie arguably doesn't have a plot at all and Willie compares it to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Does that make the movie age poorly as a result? Plus, at first it may seem that the whistler guy who says he's seen Bigfoot during the Air Force press conference is a complete non sequitur but we r...

Buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye. This week we are talking about the movie The Matrix with the founder of Scynewave Engineering Ki Scyne. What exactly is The Matrix? We see it in the movie, but does Willie actually understand what it is? Scyne helps us try to understand it using lucid dreaming and live concerts in Fortnite as examples of what The Matrix is like. Plus, Scyne got to be a character in The ...

I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that? We are joined by regular Game Night contributor Jeffrey Sax to discuss the movie The Hunt for Red October. What happens when you know so much about submarines that you unknowingly figure out inf...

I'm going after that truck. How? I don't know, I'm making this up as I go! Tom DiGianvittorio joins us to discuss the film Raiders of the Lost Ark the first Indiana Jones movie in the franchise. There is a hilarious scene where Indiana Jones is about to fight this swordsman and shoots one pistol shot that ends the fight pretty fast. That scene was filmed that way on purpose and the reason why is a lot less funnier. Plus, the tone s...

We're police officers! We're not trained to handle this kind of violence! A first time guest has joined us, Bob Callahan is here to talk about the movie Demolition Man and how this futuristic looking town looks like the perfect utopia at first, but very quickly you find out that it's quite the opposite in fact. That's just San Angeles, but what about the other states in the US in this universe, are they living the same dystopia tha...

Ted, you know, if I die, you can have my Megadeth collection. But dude, we are already dead. We are joined by regular Game Night contributor Brian Kofford to discuss the sequel movie Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and he has an interesting observation about the famous air guitar riff that Bill and Ted constantly perform. De Nomolos was annoyed by the sound of it but presumably only Bill and Ted can hear it. We go over a small detail in...

It's so dumb. Oh, it's so dumb, it's brilliant! No! It's just dumb! Samuel Lewis of The Samcast Network joins us to talk about the movie Glass Onion and the fact that there are so many layers (no pun intended), smoke screens and diversion tactics that make this mystery just as fun as the last one and we go over all the things you might've missed if you only watched the movie once. Plus, everyone seems to think that Detective Blanc ...

Can I shoot? I got a clean shot. *thud* F**k off. We are discussing the movie Children of Men this week with Brandt Hughes from the YouTube channel Emergent Beacon. Brandt brings up a quote from a previous episode of this show where Willie says he doesn't like ambiguity in movies, and Brandt challenges Willie's thinking that perhaps there's specific ambiguity that Willie doesn't like. Plus, the cinematography of this movie is exqui...

Yes, I got a penis. We are joined once again by regular Game Night contributor Dolan Moles to discuss the second film in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Is it better than the first Guardians film or does it fall victim to the sequel curse. Willie also makes the argument for why this Guardians movie hinges entirely on Rocket stealing the batteries and why that one story plot makes him frustrated as a viewer. Plus, we make our...

Now, why would you call his mother a garden tool? Curtis Laraque joins us this week to talk about House Party and how this movie perfectly captures what life was like post 80s into the early 90s, and a lot of things have changed. Unfortunately, there are some things that haven't, including many instances of police brutality that are featured in this film. Plus, Kid's dad has a great dynamic with his son and we go over how amazing t...
