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! We talk about movie length music videos, the Disney de-aging machine, who Tron is for, and MOST IMPORTANTLY do you our listener think the human characters get uploaded into the computer or do you think they shrunk down so small they're in the computer?
This week we're talking about season one of Alien: Earth. We talk about all Alien creatures big and small, fun additions to the lore, how to act like a child, and who we want Timothy Olyphant to be.

The Worlds continue to be strange this week as we talk about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3. We talk about the show's willingness to take chances, its obsession with straight romance, a touch of Doctor Who, and the ability to dance.

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. A movie that is a little embarrassed to be what is, has great performances that are all the same performance, obligatory nudity, and we debate what the invisible clothes joke is referencing.

This week we're going back to the 80's cult classic The Toxic Avenger. We're asking the important questions like does this deserve more or less respect in cult classic status, how many canes does a blind person need, what was up with all the boobs in 80's movies, and is the tank shot the funniest thing we've ever seen?
Read moreThis week we're calling an audible and talking about Weapons. We're Naruto running to talk about character chapters, the worst deaths, believable police incompetence, and the meaning of WEAPONS.
It's our 500th EPISODE! We can hardly believe we've been doing it this long and to celebrate we've decided to revisit our first episode of the podcast. It's 2016's Deadpool and we talk about if it holds up and why, reasons it was ahead of its time, and if the zamboni is the funniest vehicle ever made. We also chat about how the podcast has changed and our most memorable moments of the past 500 episodes. Th...
This week it's the new 4, with a retro style, with The Fantastic Four First Steps. We talk about what looks real & fake, the dark undertones of Reed, how big babies are, Johnny throughout the years, and the merits of Mole Man.
This week we're talking about the previous era of Chris Evans as a Marvel superhero. We're going back to 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer. We talk about the classic combination of Doug Jones and a voice actor, a Galactus you can't see, insisting Sue be blonde, and is this movie surprisingly good?
Read moreThis week we're going back to visit the second of the original Superman movies. We're talking about the violence of Zod and crew, the campy nature of the world, and the fact that Superman does... you know ... wink.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a new Superman. This week we're talking about the new take on Superman, we discuss the James Gunn of it all, hope and optimism, defending Jor-El, and the impossibility of the perfect Jimmy Olsen.

This week we're going back to YET ANOTHER ISLA with Jurassic World Rebirth. We talk about about a family that wasn't in the marketing, visual competency, everyone's favourite character Dr. Sexy, and how dinosaurs aren't boring you guys.

This week we're talking about a movie that despite groundbreaking visual effects may be most famous for a weird scream-to-yawn match cut, it's The Lost World: Jurassic Park. We talk about how everyone is Jeff Goldblum, a villain who casually walks away, why everybody loves Nick, and why it's weird to gymnastics kick a velociraptor.
When it hasn't been your day, week, or even your 28 years *clap clap clap*. This week we're talking about 28 Years Later. We talk about the return of Boyle and Garland, movies that switch tones midway, and potential themes framed as a question.

No it's not Groundhog day, this week we're talking again about How To Train Your Dragon but this time it's the 2025 live action (ish) version. We talk about what the point of this type of re-make is, losing comedy but gaining drama, Gerard Butler still being in top form, and how othering it is to point at people.

This week we're talking about the original (no not the book you've gone back too far if you're thinking about the book), it's the 2010 FULLY animated, no flesh actors, How To Train Your Dragon. We talk about if Dragons understand what's happening, bad bangs, the tragedy of this father/son relationship, and what may be Gerard Butler's greatest acting performance.
