You can have your Contagion and Outbreak podcasts, but who else is breaking down 1988's The Carrier?? That's right; only your boys. CATS, a hundred people wrapped in plastic, The Black Thing, bipolar townspeople... This beauty is free to watch on Netflix, so check it out first (if you have the time) and then join in on the fun.

45 mins of misery and Kathy Bates is not involved. We're sad and we're going to let it all out. US Soccer ruined Scott's year, we lost a couple of legends in Tom Petty and Bobby Heenan, Justice League looks ready to spread sadness in theaters across the country, and no misery party is complete without Harvey Weinstein. BUT, James Gunn cheers us up with some good news on Thor: Ragnarok.

It's a Force Watch episode! This time it's Stallone at his absolute Stalloniest in 1986's Cobra. Brigitte Nielsen, a ghost director, horrible dialogue, inexplicable editing... this thing has it all. And for good measure, we even wrap things up by debating the fan movement to make Luke Skywalker bisexual.
