We celebrate Star Wars day by looking at the film that almost destroyed Star Wars, two decades before the Rise of Skywalker tried it again. In 1999 The Phantom Menace pod raced its way into the canon, leaving a carnage of controversy in its wake and inspiring legions of terrible prequels, sequels, and squeakquels. Now join us with special guest Joseph Cuadrado as we make a crticial reappraisal of...

Enterprising columnist John Grogan (Josh Groban?) slowly unravels, ignoring wife, children, and familial responsibility alike in favor of obsessively devoting inches of column space to the outsized impact of a yellow lab on his life.

We sit down and really get into Warcraft: The Motion Picture, the film that failed to be Lord of the Rings or Avatar, and tried to insert race relations into a simple story about Orcs and humans before Bright did it.

A mystical artifact turns a mild mannered man into a gruesome monster who attacks his enemies at night. We saw 1994's The Mask starring a manic cartoon character who also plays the titular character. Cameron Diaz wows in her first film role and Max the Dog nearly steals the dang show.

We discuss a beloved book series that many considered to be unadaptable: that's right it's 1998's Doctor Dolittle. We're a couple of Doctor Domores as we guinea pig out on Jim Henson puppets, CGI'd lips, and kafkaesque incomprehensible language barriers, while learning about those doggone HMOs ruining health care and how to make paw-some new fur-ends. You'll be astounded as Eddie Murphy delivers a...

Unreliable narrator Scotty "Smalls" describes the exaggeratedly idyllic greatest summer of his life when all the neighborhood kids and even his stepdad loved him as he gets into the biggest pickle of his life. We also meet the oldest dog known to mankind! Our friend Rachel joins us to discuss. Mr Trumpet by Ketsa is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Lice...

Unite the two for the long-awaited, three-years-in-the-making, social media-demanded premiere... of the podcast about Zack Snyder's Justice League! In this episode, Pablo gets to flex his knowledge of men in tights while Erica pretends to know what is going on.

Be ours this Valentine's Day! We go on an adventure through LA with literally all the celebrities, as the malevolent unseen force of love works to bring people together in the soul-crushing romcom equivalent of Final Destination--Valentine's Day (2010).

Will Smith is his own worst enemy when he agrees to star in Boyz II Gemini Men, a reflection of a simulacrum of a copy of a clone of a movie. Join us as we dive into this genre dump of half-assed tropes and unsatisfying sci-fi thriller action.

Whether you're stuck at home because you've displeased the Spirit of Christmas or you photographed a car race overzealously, we can all relate to the common thread of how isolation makes us question the nature of our reality. Listen as we touch on everything from slapstick violence to the mystery of Plato's cave to the trio of angels--a sculptor in Texas, Grace Kelly, and the film-within-a-film of...

Meet our hero, Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, a cruel, unethical, and misogynistic archeologist in the business to loot artifacts and take lives in his endless quest to gain tenure in this unfortunate prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark. Marvel as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg perfect their vision of 1931 serial revivals by adding the essential missing ingredient: hardcore racism. And let's face it...

We're racing to the finish line in Rat Race, the prequel to Ratatouille, as the Baja Men and Smash Mouth blast us back to the long-gone days of the early 2000s. We watched the mild gagfest throwback known as Rat Race.

Welcome to the E.L. James Cinematic Universe in which bad BDSM softcore can somehow make 571 schmillion dollars and we suspend our disbelief that two actors with no chemistry would want to have sex together. Warning: this episode contains more sex references than usual and the plot discussed does contain an abusive Master/slave relationship. Mr Trumpet by Ketsa is licensed under a Creative Commons...

We wet our whistle on the hottest summer blockbuster of 2019; that's right, we saw Kevin Costner's Waterworld, a swashbuckling adventure on the post-apocalyptic high seas featuring fleets of jet skis, a very grumpy merman, and offensive gender politics. Almost as enjoyable as converting your own urine into potable water. Mr Trumpet by Ketsa is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonComme...

Journey back to the enchanted island of giant reptile murders as we watch Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the 5th and worst film in the franchise.

We journey through the Internet tubes to the Matrix simulacrum of autumn in New York. It's You've Got Mail, Nora Ephron's influential romantic comedy with all of the 90s tropes and none of the charm. Your heart will melt as creepy, wealthy businessman Tom Hanks stalks Meg Ryan's cloyingly cute, but completely vapid, small bookstore owner, and manipulates her reality through catfishing. Bonus: This...

Fabulously wealthy, wine cellar-owning child psychologist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) endures the case of his afterlife when he meets Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), a boy living with schizophrenia. Join Pablo and Erica as they perform an autopsy on M. Night Shyamalan's magnum opus.

Journey with us to the 80s as a team of 20 year-old 40 year-olds band together to take on the mutant embodiment of Old Testament wrath in X-Men 6: Apocalypse. Featuring a plot filled with origins, this punktastic take on a 90s comic-arc sees Bryan Singer's attempt to rewrite X-Men continuity post First Class and Days of Future Past to middling returns, in a film that isn't nearly as reverent to X-...

Join Pablo, Erica, and our guest, Joe, as we travel through the stars for a discussion of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, an excessively French film that should have starred Rihanna, but instead stars two adult children. The most expensive independent movie of all time, Valerian comes ripped off from the same comic as was Star Wars, though neither film accurately depicts the source ma...

In Part III of our 2018 Oscar series, we discuss Get Out, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and The Shape of Water. We also rank all the nominations, get into our picks for Oscar snubs, and discuss who we thought would actually have won (The Oscar should have gone to Birdman).

In part two of our three-part 2018 Best Picture series, we go back to Dunkirk, and weigh the relative pros/cons of the glamorous romances found in Call Me by Your Name and the gothic Phantom Thread.

It's part one in a three-part series, in which we discuss all of the films nominated for Best Picture at the stuffy, overly formal 2018 90th Academy Awards to save you from having to bore your own pants off. Pablo takes on the persona of Paula Abdul as Erica goes full Simon Cowell to chat about a great deal of melodramatic period pieces. This episode contains Lady Bird, The Post, and Darkest Hour....

It's Ryan Reynolds in his pre-Deadpool, unsuccessful comic book movie phase and Jeff Bridges doing his very best Yosemite Sam impression in a movie that can be best compared to Howard the Duck as equal parts lazily derivative as it is totally fucked up, in 2013's R.I.P.D.

Join us as we discuss The Disaster Artist--the official adaptation of the book based on a movie based on a stageplay.
