After many years Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell are back together under director Martin McDonagh in a funny, sad, dark and beautiful film, The Banshees of Inisherin.

This week Diana finally gets her promotion but of course that's a B story to watching Data lose his memory and run around a renfaire.

This week's episode switches focus from the lead cast to take a peak at the crew off the off shifts and lower decks. It's a interesting change in perspective for the show an makes it a more unique episode.

Just in time for actual Black Friday (or Green Friday) we watch a zombie-ish film of the same name.

On this episode we give our thoughts on twist endings in movies (and endings in general)and give a top 5 of our favorites.

We drop in on a forgotten 1990's film this week with Why Me? This weird and strange comedy stars Christopher Lambert, Christopher Lloyd and Kim Greist (as well as a host of familiar faces from the time).

This week we talk about Ken Russell's very loose adaptation of Bram Stoker's The Lair of the White Worm, an amusing horror film with a very young Hugh Grant, Peter Capaldi and Amanda Donohoe.

A hairy double feature for this episode with WolfCop and it's sequel, Another WolfCop. We look this pair of old-school feeling, Canadian made (and located)gore filled horror comedies.
