For their 247th episode, two fearful film critics, two mind-reading dads, and two web-slinging school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, had a new conversation spin away from the usual format. What started as a chat on the runaway sensation "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" became an advance therapy session for the state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with "Avengers: Doomsday" looming this December. For years, this show's mantra has been "Trust Kevin Feige." That might not be the case at the moment. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate.

For their 246th episode, two dancing film critics, two proud dads, and two regret-filled school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, embark on something they've never done on the show: Revisit and re-grade a movie from a previous episode. Early in their run together, Will and Don couldn't be farther apart on Damien Chazelle's "La La Land." In honor of its 10th anniversary and adding the new experience of bringing their respective teen daughters to the film's recent return to the big screen, our boys reflect on previous loves and old wounds.

For their 239th episode, two jet-set film critics, two midlife crisis dads, and two culturally open school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, begin a two-episode arc on films that inspired recent travel from our two hosts. This month, Will got back from a transformative solo trip to the nation of Japan, meaning Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" became the immediate reflection point for an episode.

For their 238th episode, two firefighting film critics, two propeller-driven dads, and two very much still alive school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, follow up last week's blockbuster episode about a couple of heroic pilots with another featuring the same profession. On the heels of a new Steven Spielberg film last month, the two pointed their compass to 1989's "Always," a Spielberg blind spot for Don that needed to be doused with fire extinguishing podcast time.
