This week, join the Seths and special guest Zach Allen in a belated, off-sequence episode 33 as they hit the food court, get their ears pierced and buy some shirts in a dark, cologne-drenched storefront while examining Jim Wynorski's 1986 deceptively named, chop-free satirical sci-fi horror film "Chopping Mall," starring Kelli Maroney, Tody O'Dell, Suzee Slater, Karrie Emerson, Barbara Crampton, N...

Join the Seths and returning guest "Encyclopedia" Ben Tracy as they work their way up from the mailroom in just one day, cracking pun-filled witticisms in the elvator to the top of the corporate ladder in a deep exploration of the Coen Brothers' 1994 underappreciated masterpiece "The Hudsucker Proxy," starring Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Paul Newman and Charles Durning.

Join the Seths as they dive in - oh! hold on, maybe they'll just wade in at first - all the suspicious watery deaths in Peter Greenaway's 1988 bawdy, color-drenched dark comedy Drowning By Numbers (starring Joan Plowright, Juliette Stevenson, Joely Richardson and Bernard Hill) have got them nervous about diving in to anything!

Jess Month enters week 3! Have we lost Seth to the fast-paced 80's Manhattan elite-inspired world of big busniess corporate sponsorships?
