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?

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.

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?

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.

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.
