To say this episode went off the rails very quickly is an understatement. Somehow guest Ryan Sim and engineer Phil (in one of his last engineering spots) ended up at lagerheads over the existence of aliens. Somehow though, they found time to review the movie. A lot of passion between believers and non-believers, this is the episode that might unleash social media hell.

A Hollywood comedy director wants to make the great American Drama - it does not go well. Jimmy England wants guest Chris Wuergler and engineer Phil to like it as much as he does. It does not go well. One of the great screwball comedies of all time with a serious core.

If you feel the "need for speed", maybe a movie about a bus isn't your first choice but if you like high-octane adventure and thrills but don't care about reality then Speed is the movie for you. Guest Chris Wuergler and engineer Phil (not surprisingly), loved it. Jimmy just went along for the ride. Another fun episode.

Yes it's our 250th episode as Jimmy and Phil reflect on it all and Phil makes a big announcement. But wait! They also made each other watch a movie as well to talk about. Jimmy chose Sunset Boulevard (and pointed out the surprising similarity to it and the life of Mae West). And Phil chose the modern noir classic, L.A. Confidential. A little nostalgia, a lot of fun.

Guest Ryan Visser joins Jimmy to find the Meaning of Life but find only a legendary sketch group's most underappreciated film or an absurdist train wreck. No one is neutral about this movie.

Guest Mitch McBeaudry displays an impressive amount of religious knowledge while extolling the virtues of the outragious 1999 movie Dogma. Is it intentionally confrontational to religion or is it about a crisis of faith. Funny as always but surprisingly deep and interesting.

Considered by many - including guest Mario Bernardi - to be one of the funniest movies ever made. Both funny and disturbing by today's standards is it still good enought to survive as one of the classics of all times? A fascinating and hilarious examination of what it takes to be timeless.

Another exception as we wander into the new century to test guest Chris Jarvie's theory that the Pixar movie Cars is the greatest movie ever made about, well, cars. Mario Bernardi wades in with his opinion and what happens is a first rate review full of laughs and insights.

What can we say that's new about Raiders of the Lost Ark. Turns out, a lot. Kristian Reimer joins us for what turned into a far ranging and often hilarious discussion about Raiders. Is it a timeless masterpiece that deserved more recognition at Oscar time or just another adventure film? Listen, and judge for yourself.

Scott Faulconbridge is back and he's talking about a movie that's totally different from what he's brought in the past - 1996's Fargo. But is it really all that different? Jimmy think so but Scott makes a convincing argument for a quirky, black comedy masterpiece. He brings a unique vision - if for no other reason than for where he saw it. Funny and engaging.
