This week the corporate sponsors take over and dictate that Brian, John, and Elaine must deliver the show while wearing Nike shoes while drinking bud light and snacking on delicious Doritos! But seriously, we are talking product placement in movies! Does it help or hurt the film industry? What is its' effect on a film's narrative and can we truly have a movie industry that doesn't cater to product placement?

It's morphing time this week as Brian, John, and Laine once again dive into nostalgia fuckery. This time they are jumping into their zords and traveling to the brand new, much grittier, Zack Snyder- esque reboot of Power Rangers. Gone are the goofy Japanese knock off with semi racist spandex sentai suit rangers - now replaced with 20 something year old actors playing emo rangers with a morphing impotency problem. So grab your childhood and hold it tight as we review Power Rangers.

This week, Brian, John, and Elaine are inducting a new member into our Pantheon of Utter Shit. This giant turd comes to us in the form of the perennial 1988 ET ripoff/McDonalds commercial, Mac and Me. They search for answers to some of the biggest mysterious of this film; like how can Coca Cola keep the aliens alive but water kills them? Or why is there a random hip hop dance scene in the middle of McDonalds for no reason....or simply why the aliens look like they have testicles for cheeks. So grab a big mac and a can of coca cola as we review Mac and Me.

Get ready to be shocked and shocked again! This week, Brian, John, and Elaine are entering the world of the most controversial movies to come out of Hollywood. What makes a movie controversial?

Are these movies just for shock value or do they serve a higher purpose in the world of cinema? These questions and more will be answered as we dive into the cesspool of controversial movies.

This week, we are sharpening our adamantium claws as we slice and dice into Hugh Jackman's farewell to Wolverine in James Marigold's "Logan." We get into the nitty gritty of this riveting drama/western that happens to feature comic book characters. Answering such questions like, where did all the mutants go and if we truly believe that Hugh Jackman has hung up his claws.

This week, Brian, John, and Laine put a period on the 2017 Academy Awards; Recapping the winners, losers, and strangely bizarre flubs. We try to answer what actually did happen with that very bizarre Best Picture snafu. Did Faye Dunaway try to stick it to Warren Beatty or was Warren Beatty having a weirdo senior moment. Also, how in the hell can Suicide Squad win an Oscar?! So strap in and get ready for one last dose of Hollywood Self-Gratification.

Its' Oscar weekend everyone! The one time of the year that Hollywood explodes in an orgy of self gratification. But The Oscars are not the only awards ceremony going on this weekend.
