We're back with a NOW PLAYING! With the holiday movie season in full swing, we check in to discuss Gladiator 2. From the in-theater experience to the heavy weight of the the original Gladiator, we break down why this movie is (and isn't) a big deal.

So grab your shark cages, don your flowing Roman robes, and rub some Coliseum dirt into your hands while we dive into a modern blockbuster.

Your lucky numbers have come up—this week we’re talking about Mary and Max! We send a letter to this stop motion classic from 2009 to see if it knows where babies come from, if it has ever been teased, and if we can share a can of condensed milk. So make yourself a chocolate hot dog, turn on the Noblets, and settle in for this week’s episode!

Although Halloween is behind us, it follows Edwin. Which is tough, because he does NOT enjoy horror movies. Lucky for us, we have this podcast!

We are headed to the suburbs of Detroit to watch the 2014's It Follows. The movie is a dreadful, tense slow burn that takes a silly-sounding premise and delivers a compelling variation of the genre that sticks in your psyche long after the credits roll (at least in our opinion).

So fire up your clamshell e-readers, line the pool with retro appliances, and put on some comfy walking shoes to join us for a modern horror classic.

With Halloween on the horizon, we dial up a classic from 1992 with Death Becomes Her starring Meryl Streep, Bruce Willis, and Goldie Hawn. Alex and Edwin are first-time viewers as we go on a campy, CGI-filled ride through castles, lightning, murder, and the walking dead.

So grab your spray paint, twist your neck back around, and take a shot of everlasting life as we break down Robert Zemeckis' surreal black comedy.

Grab your scarf, this week we have a blind date with Movie 43! Neither Edwin, Alex, or Sean have seen this star-studded yet critically panned comedy from 2013, so we’re putting on our superhero costumes and speed dating all the different vignettes. So make some guacamole, turn on the grocery store loudspeaker, and check in to the basketball game for this week’s episode!

This week we're gliding into New York in the cover of darkness to watch John Carpenter's 1981 dystopian adventure Escape From New York. This is a first time viewing for all three of us, and we can't wait to see what awaits us behind the maximum security walls surrounding Manhattan Island.

So gas up the cab, put on your eyepatches, and hammer some nails into your bat to join us for this sci-fi/action classic!

This week Sean takes us down to the bayou to serve up one of Werner Herzog's more insane and polarizing films - Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. A bizarre gumbo of black comedy, rampant drug addiction, crooked cops, and a massive scoop of Nic Cage turned up to 11; it's a ride through the seedy underbelly of New Orleans that is anything but boring.

So round up your imaginary iguanas, empty out those handbags, and jump into the flooded jailhouse with us for a dark and wild ride into the bliss of evil.

Remember the classic arcade game Street Fighter II? Wasn't it great? The characters and combat felt so unique and cool? Well too bad, because this movie uppercuts all that in the face. In fact, it's so distinctly bad it's achieved cult status for being an accidental masterpiece of "trash art." So get your blue camouflage dry cleaned, wrap up your cage fights with Vega, and lace up a pair of superconducting boots to watch the 1994 dumpster fire that is Street Fighter: The Movie.

Here's a link to the story of making Street Fighter that was referenced in the episode.

Quick, hide this bag of guns and I'll steal you a rug later--this week we're watching The Godfather Part II! Edwin has never seen this cinematic classic so we're flying to Cuba and then reminiscing about coming to America for the story of the rise and fall of the Corleone family. So put on a tarantella, pour yourself a drink, and give Fredo a big kiss for this week's episode!
