It's a wonderful night for eyebrows as Emily shows Jacob a different kind of horror. The Grinch lore deepens in the animated prequel to the beloved classic, Dr. Seuss story. Is that a sour sweet wind I smell or just my brain after watching this forgotten media? Then reminisce about your childhood days at the McDonald's play-place with a cartoon special from the animators of Rugrats and The Wild Thornberry's. Do you think dogs should have human eyes, lips, and teeth? And will our cat, Suki, terrorize our home this entire episode?

Jacob and Emily are back for more Middle Earth adventures. How does costuming affect story? What's the balance between realism and film choreography in combat? How close can YOU get to a volcano without dying? And will Disa's new table mess with the feng shui of her home? 

He who controls the spice, controls the UNIVERSE!!! Jacob introduces Emily to the vast and complex world of Dune. Complete with giant sand worms, horny Harkonens, voice guns, juice-box mice, and... WAIT, that's not in the book! 

Jacob and Emily return for more Rings of Power. Do our conspiracy theories hold any merit? Who is Orc Daddy? And when is Disa's next album dropping? 

Emily shares her love of dinosaurs with Jacob as we flash back to the 90s for an animated adventure. Hotdog loving dinos and parent-hating Brooklyn kids may drive the plot, but time traveling brothers, fircuses, and mystical crows will keep you wondering what this film is really about. You’ll love it so much you could just… lay an egg.

In a surprise special series, Jacob and Emily watch through the first two episodes of The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power.
