We're in it to the end, we're talking about the final volumes of Stranger Things this week. We give huge credit to one cool room, learn about the play, discuss the most complicated straight forward plot, and get mad at Dustin.
This is not the greatest Anaconda in the world, this is just a tribute. We're talking about the 2025 Anaconda this week on the pod. We get into cast chemistry, the merits of setting something in Buffalo, and how hard it is to market a comedy.
The world of Pandora is back, and it's simultaneously too much and not enough. We're talking about Avatar: Fire and Ash. We give flowers where it's due, compare it to Star Wars, pushing the limit of alien love stories, and discuss how whales get their ears pierced.
This week we're talking about the holiday classic Scrooged. We question if a person can really change once he knows there's a hell, the comedy of contrast, 80's stars we don't understand, and 1988's predictions for network television.
This week we're talking about one of the more unique James Cameron films, we're joined by comedian and actor Foad HP to talk about True Lies. We get into the unexpected comedic restraint of Tom Arnold, Bill Paxton doing so much, the merits of bathroom fight scenes, and where you should be if a nuke goes off.
Read moreThe kids are back, and the bicycles have been upgraded to a car because they are played by full adults. We're talking about Season 5 Volume 1 Episodes 1-4 of Stranger Things (rolls off the tongue). We talk about fixing the mistakes of previous seasons, characters being mean for no particular reason, second screen dialogue, shenanigans, and some key performances.
Lace up your Pumas because it's time to run again as we talk about 2025's The Running Man. We're talking about the somewhat absent style of Edgar Wright, problematic treatment, the lack of running, and the star we want more of.
Oh boy the Predator really stepped in it this time. We're talking about Predator Badlands this week and it's about video game vibes, good looking CGI, surprising totally normal accents, and is this supposed to be a buddy cop movie or just about the predator?
It's an 80's classic action movie this week, the Schwarzenegger driven The Running Man (1987). We talk about the forgettable but interesting rebellion first act, the greatest death lines, the pros and cons of Dynamo, and why Diana would actually attend The Running Man.

This week we're going back into the computer. No it's not The Matrix, it's the other franchise with a digital god creator myth, it's Tron Legacy!

Toxie is back. This week we're talking about the new 2025 (or 2023 depending on who you're talking to) reboot of The Toxic Avenger.
