What happens when you fund your own podcast and you don't have to answer to a corporate suit? You can do whatever you want. That's exactly what we did thinking it would be cool to improv the entire podcast without any notes or pre-recording meeting.

In light of the recent box office bomb, Ben-Hur, we take a look at the best and worst remakes ever. We also give our take on a cult classic that we feel is ripe for a remake, The Last Starfighter. Check out our brand new Tumblr account for our full plots at chewonthispodcast.

What do Empire Strikes Back, Blade Runner and Revenge of the Nerds have in common? Find out in our Top 10 Most Influential 80's Movies.

**SPOILERS** We review the final Harry Potter story. Is the play as good as the novels?

**SPOILERS** Are the critics right? Is Suicide Squad that bad? Also, we address the controversy between DC fans and Rotten Tomatoes.

We visit the Mecca of Star Wars collectibles, Rancho Obi-Wan and nerd out as expected. Afterwards, the man himself, Steve Sansweet sits down with us to discuss why he tends to chase after the Star Wars food merchandise more, his new Cantina project and we present Steve and Anne Neumann (Rancho's VP, General Manager) some gifts.

BJ gives his non-spoiler review of Jason Bourne while I try not to think about Matt Damon in Team America. Also we have a SPOILERific review of the highly anticipated adaptation of Alan Moore’s The Killing Joke.

**SPOILERS** Star Trek makes a return to the Trekkie way and we love it. Also MAJOR announcement for the podcast. Stay tuned till the end of the episode to find out what it is.

Two episodes in one week?!?! The BJ returns to give his take on Ghostbusters. We also discuss a major event that happened over the weekend in nerdom, San Diego Comic Con. And we close out this episode with a Netflix binge that’s too good not to talk about.

**SPOILERS** John Marcotte joins me, as BJ is on his honeymoon, to review the much talked about and hated (albeit unjustified), Ghostbusters. Did we like it? Does it deserve to be hated? More importantly, is John Jewish enough to replace BJ?
