Continuing our Exorcist "coverage" (like we're journalists or something), Leighton (that's me!) and Jory talk about The Exorcist III: Legion, directed by the GOAT William Peter Blatty. Coming off of one of the (alleged) worst sequels of all time, this one might be one of the best (allegedly). We also talk about Christopher Nolan and being pretentious hypocrites. Witness peak neur...

This time we're discussing a film heralded as the worst sequel of all time: John Boorman's Exorcist II: The Heretic. Is it really as bad as everyone says? Does it contain hidden depths? Did they seriously make a 17 year old Linda Blair do all that? Listen and find out! Brian talks...

GUNTERS. WE RETURN. It's part two of our coverage of Ready Player Two with special guest Chris Grace (@chrisgracecomedy), and this is the episode where we get into the real nitty gritty of what makes this book so particularly egregious by reading out loud some of the worst it has to offer. Judge for yourself. It's a blast, please check it out, and whatever you do: don't read this book. Do you hate...

WHAT'S UP GUNTERS! We're joined by one of our favorite guests, Chris Grace (ig: @chrisgracecomedy), to discuss the absolute disaster that is Ready Player Two. This first episode is an overview of the various existential and character issues present in the novel, and we'll get into the dramatic reading of quotes next week. For today, just marvel at the fact that somehow Cline managed to write somet...

Today we're joined once again by our wonderful friends Paul and Eli from CheapShow (ig: @cheapshowpod)! If you're not already on our Patreon, this is one you absolutely want to see the video episode for due to an unprecedented amount of visual gags, one of which makes Brian cry a little bit.

It's a short and sweet solo! We spend a lot of time classifying a new taxonomy of mediocre-but-good movies, and talk about some video games and stuff.
