It's 2026 and the gang is back at it again. This time we're diving into Alexander Payne's political satire, Election, a movie that stars Reese Witherspoon as ambitious student Tracey Flick, whose campaign for student president is imperiled by jealous teacher Mr. McCallister, played by Matthew Broderick. We'll be taking a look at how Election portrays the hypocrisy of U.S politics and people through the lens of a high school election.

The final Episode of 2025! The gang discusses Rian Johnson's debut film, Brick (2005) a neo-noir that takes the hard-boiled, pulpy detective style of 1950s classics and transposes it into a modern-day high school setting. This sharply written story features all the usual noir tropes but in a contemporary setting with a convoluted plot that manages to keep audiences locked in from start to finish.

This week, the gang discusses Charles Naughton's one and only film, the classic Night of the Hunter (1955). Robert Mitchum's legendary performance as evil priest, Harry Powell, is one of the most haunting and memorable depictions of a serial killer in the history of film, and with a slew of stunning shots that harken back to German Expressionism and paved the way for countless other films, Night of the Hunter is essential viewing. Also discussed is pseudo and performative christianity as well as much more.

We discuss the incredible script that was written by Raymond Chandler and Billy Wilder (who had a famously acrimonious relationship), the tension-inducing plot, and the unforgettable performances of Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, and Edward G. Robinson.

This week, the gang discusses David Cronenberg's most recent film, The Shrouds (2024), a story about a widowed man who develops a video technology that allows clients to watch their spouses' corpses decompose in the grave as a means of grieving the dead. In typical Cronenberg fashion, this is a fascinating and engrossing film that features plenty of body horror, a few conspiracies, and some interesting writing.

But above all, The Shrouds is a story about grief.
