Chops TV

This week, we have a SPOILER-FILLED episode discussing what we loved - and what we hated - about Season 2 of 'The Mandalorian.' Which jedi comes for Grogu? Who ends up with the Dark Saber? Why is Din's mustache so perfectly groomed?!

This week, Daniel reveals yet another classic movie he neglected - Robert Zemeckis' 'Back to the Future' - and Chops joins Daniel's brother from another mother, Eric Barnett, in breaking down what makes the 1985 film worthy of all the hype.

This week, we welcome Craig Calcaterra from the 'Cup of Coffee' podcast to discuss our favorite films of the 1970's. We talk about some well-worn classics as well as a few sleeper hits of what was likely the best-ever decade for filmmaking.

This week, our discussion of "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" turns into an examination of satire and a debate on whether we're living in a post-satire society. But I guess we enjoyed the employee working the fax machine...

This week, we take on your pop culture hot takes in a debate forum while eating increasingly-spicy hot sauces...in a format that is similar to but legally distinct from "Hot Ones." Coke or Pepsi? Who's the best of The Beatles? Were Ross and Rachel on a break? We discuss these and more while losing our dignity to the Carolina Reaper.

This week (you know the tune): Found-footage horror and cults on a mission; old eldritch horror and zombies' emissions; body invasion and "real" happenings; these are our favorite, spookiest things! We celebrate five weeks of horror-themed explorations by breaking down our top five favorite horror media.

This week, we tackle the dense sociological themes (no, really!) of the 1985 horror-comedy Fright Night. Why were 80's vampires movies all so similar? Why were the police in the movie's town so incompetent? Could teens be right about how dumb adults are?

This week, we examine the Japanese horror film "Audition," directed by Takashi Miike. Few films are equal parts beautiful and difficult to watch, but we break down the pertinent scenes and themes to help you take in the film that served as inspiration for films like "SAW" and "Hostel."

This week, we welcome Friend of the Show Sean Brugger to talk about the Universal Monsters Cinematic Universe (the original one) and its influence on film and filmmaking over the years. Plus (of course), we rank the monsters according to how good their films were - or how easily they could beat us in a fight.

This week, we kick off a month of Spooky Season episodes with the 2004 rom-zom-com "Shaun of the Dead." We examine all the call-backs and call-forwards, lay bare decades of zombie movie tropes and learn a little something about British ice cream treats.
