April 08, 2021 Chungking Express (and Godzilla vs. Kong)
Please excuse Jon's pet bird this week, but in the hustle, bustle, and tight-living quarters, let's play Fran Lebowitz and pretend it's a city. And specifically, the city of Hong Kong, where the boys find themselves in this exciting double-feature. They revisit Wong Kar-Wai's 1994 film Chungking Express and the latest offering from HBO Max, Godzilla vs. Kong.

March 11, 2021 My Neighbor Totoro (and Nomadland)
The boys are doing some social distancing this week, and that means going out to the wilderness in both an Eastern and Western direction. First, they revisit the Hayao Miyazaki-directed animated family-classic, My Neighbor Totoro, and then, after a short side-of-the-road bathroom break, dive into Chloe Zhao's Nomadland.

December 31, 2020 Love Actually
Christmas? A humbug! That's the kind of sentiment that kept this Christmas-themed episode back a week, and that's why the boys need a lesson in the true meaning of Christmas, which is something approximately to Love, Actually.
