With an absent Izzy, the leftover crew smashes its way through this episode in its discussion of the different poxes, Morbius , who the next Joker could be, another Everything Everywhere All At Once  review, and Mox's review of Stranger Things Season 4 .

Then, the first course in our adventure into the theme of Food with Gibbs' pick of  Foodfight.  This awful, no-good, vapid, downright terrible animated film from 2012 "features" Charlie Sheen, Eva Longoria, and Christopher Lloyd among other known actors and actresses.  The gang t...

Izzy shares his mental tips for being a sane, calmer driver.

Support us on Patr...

This sci-fi thriller has choreography, direction, and movie magic that the gang all loves and thumbs up for you. Mmmmm, good movies tas...
