Ok, we are back with more Stephen King nonsense. I guess if you make changes, sometimes the author is ok with it. But only if it is extra sad? Sorry, Kubrick, apparently you are no Frank Darabont.

Topics include: -Joe Hill v Stephen King -The Walking Dea -"Oh god noooooo" -Thomas Jane being a limited actor -Bad special effects

In this wide ranging discussion we cover disgusting bees, Tony Todd's sex appeal, stupid white people, and Emmett Till's connection to the legend of Candyman. Very normal stuff.

We have finally reached peak nostalgia. Michael Keaton has agreed to put on more hideous makeup for BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE. Will it be any good? Does it matter? Who knows. But you know what is good? Having JD Duran of Insession Film here to geek out over fighter jets. Given the long length between movies in the aforementioned Burton movie, we are looking at TOP GUN: MAVERICK, a movie that almost certainly did it better. We talk Tony Scott, aerial maneuvers, and dealing with grief and fatherhood.

Strap in for some serious G-Force (or just some movie talk).

We talk shoes, wedding dresses, scrappy blondes, and dealing with our not favorite family members. Check it out!

Ok, so we have yet another Alien release, and no, we are not covering Alien 3. You should love yourself instead. But since Alien Romulus takes place between two previous movies, that gives us the perfect opportunity to talk STAR WARS and ROGUE ONE. Also, secretly a good change to talk about how great ANDOR is, and will continue to be.

We bring back filmmaker, writer, all around good guy Diego Crespo to talk all levels of nerdery, along with psychological tenet of redemption!

Happy M Night day! This week, he has a new movie coming out called TRAP, so of course, we picked a movie by a master to pair with his next one. No pressure, sir.

This time, we pick up with the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. We look at an unfairly derided (by some) tale of morality, murder, and so so much talking. With ROPE, we get a Gay Jimmy Stewart, devious plans, and whipsmart women.

What more can you ask for? A great guest? Well, you're in luck. We have the great Molly Rasberry to class up the joint.

Like a fool, Dave has decided to put his thoughts about M. Night on the internet. So, he needs backup. Enter Richard Newby, film critic, journalist, and author. We talk racism towards the director, earnestness, love stories, and parenting tips.

We also talk, of course, about deception. Is it always a bad thing? Should parents tell their kids the truth? Should we all just move to a commune to hide from trauma?

The box office has been in trouble. Can we finally save it with a cartoon? INSIDE OUT 2 is coming out and I'm sure people will finally be lining up to entertain their children.

On our show, we are taking a look at a great cartoon, also made by Pixar, RATATOUILLE. As Remy spends a lot of the movie figuring out who he is, it was pretty easy to land on self-concept as a theme.

To help us, we Jaime Rebanal of Cinema From The Spectrum. Join us as we talk Pixar, cooking, filmmaking, and underserved groups and how that connects to a cartoon about a rat...

Now that we have YET ANOTHER Planet of the Apes movie coming out, did we pick one of those 19 movies? Of course not. Dave uses this as an excuse to watch a Spielberg movie that he had trouble with the first time around, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS.

He welcomes guest Ben Miller of the Target Audience Podcast and he has...feelings. Listen as we discuss his podcast and his violent lack of caring about Apes.

Then, Dave talks about the psychology of survival in the brain and tries desperately to figure out how Tom Cruise keeps getting so luckily....besides being a really good runner.

Ben returns to talk WAR OF THE WORLDS. He and Dave talk about what works (peanut butter sandwiches, invasion imagery) and what doesn't (Tom Cruise as a longshoreman and that damn annoying son of his).

Jay talk about how he doesn't like Deadpool, but he does love The Gos.

Then, Dave talks about an area in much need of research in psychology in single fatherhood.

In this episode, as we are bereft of any decent new releases, Dave decides to call an audible and pair our movie with the Bluray release of HELL OR HIGH WATER.  To do this, we chose a viewing of SICARIO, one of last year's best.  He brings back Berook, despite his questionable taste in classic science fiction to talk about Denis Villenueve's film.

In this episode, Dave discusses a theory which was borne out of the book/movie “The Outsiders.” Apparently, it actually has an effect when we label people in negative ways. Shocker. Also, The Breakfast Club. Is it the best high school movie of all time? Yes, absolutely yes. If you haven’t seen it yet, go watch it immediately. Oh, and then listen to the podcast to find out why it’s actually deep and important.
