Denzel vs Yul, Pratt vs McQueen, Samurai vs Bugs. As we look at the power of the Seven Samurai story and its remakes Katrina and Richard explore Japanese language, star power, bug comedy, cultural influences, and the wisdom of insulting John Williams (sorry John).

Listen as we discuss 7 films starring this “performance enhancing performer” in all his gravitas and grace. Breathe in the Star power dust and listen to us explore the Weak and the Fleek.

When it comes to Mario vs. Sonic does it really just come down to Jack Black vs. Jim Carrey vs. Dennis Hopper? Will we fall for the bonkers de-evolving power of 90’s Mario or the sweet lull of “Peaches”? Will we even care at all? Probably. Listen and find out!

Welcome back to Weak and on Fleek! In this season 8 opener, we're laying aside our usual format for a thoughtful, brooding Bruce Wayne style deep dive. Who is the best Batman? We'll send out the bat signal and see who shows up. It's...It's...Hayden Christensen? May the bat mobile be with you.

"Like a surgeon" Rich and Katrina adeptly go about hacking into the five parody paragons of Hot Shots, Space balls, Monty Python, Airplane and Weird. "Tis but a scratch," Rich says when Katrina metaphorically nicks him. She then sympathetically offers, "May the Schwartz be with you." The producers both roll their eyes whispering off camera, "Surely you can't...

Season 7 closer bonus!

More scorned women!

Hell hath no fury like Richard and Katrina debating the cliche to the whimsy from these women scorned: Meg Ryan, Roseanne Barr, Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, Bette Midler, Stockard Channing, Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz, Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dolly Parton.

Bat, kick, throw, block...SCORE! What can be more thrilling than a film about a sports match? How about a sports match film about an underdog? How about a sports match film about an underdog that is based on a true story? How about a match between Richard and Katrina featuring sports films with an underdog based on a true story?

They keep coming back.

Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chuck Norris. Rich and Katrina match these martial arts movie mavens to measure mediocrity and magnificence.

Isn't it crazy how the 80's are back in style? One visit to the fantasy realm of the 1980’s wasn’t enough for us! Due to several requests, we revisit this magical era to rewatch some old favorites and find out which is worthy.

It's spring break season! Come along with us as we take a trip alongside these eclectic road trip-centric films.

"We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot" but only on the weekends. It took them seven seasons but Katrina and Rich are finally taking on the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Does it sink like "The Flying Dutchman" or does it cause our hosts to join in the famed Disney sea shanty, "Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me?"

What makes a hollywood star? Phenomenal acting chops? Presence? That "je ne sais quoi" X-factor? In Julia Roberts' case, she's got it all plus a nearly four decade long career and over 30 acting awards. Can Rich and Katrina synthesize her career and do it justice? Je ne sais pas.

A technical bonus.

One of these things just doesn't belong here. Which one of our technical Oscar champions is destined for our highest honor and which ones do we want to run (or fly) away from?
