After years (literally years ) of waiting, we are discussing Josh Boone's adaptation of The New Mutants and it's.....fine? After spending a good amount of this episodes runtime going through the film's laborious production history and di...

In this special bonus minisode celebrating the film's 20th anniversary, we discuss 2002's Dahmer , starring a pre-fame Jeremy Renner. The film - and Renner - is quite good and would make a good double bill with My Friend Dahmer (another film we'd recommend). Questions? Comments? Snark?

Snark? Connect with the boys on Twitter , Instagram , Youtube , Letterboxd , Fac...

It's another Friday the 13th, so we're back on the Jason Voorhees beat with Jason Lives (1986), the sixth entry in the franchise and also its smartest? That's the argument Trace makes, though Joe is less certain about its humor. What we both agree on is that the Tom McLoughlin film has a (mostly) great final girl in Megan, a hot Tommy Jarvis, and Jason's got a tight heinie. Plus: the Camp Blood ca...
