No featured review on the show this week, but we do have an Oscars 2026 blowout special for you! Long time listeners will know we usually make predictions for the Academy Awards each year and turn it into a competition of sorts, and this year is no different. Join us as we run through the nominations and each select who we predict will take home the golden man. A special prize awaits the losers after Oscars night, so tune in to find out how that will work. We also have some catching up to do with what we’ve been watching lately, so that’s the second half of the episode. Cheers!

Get your hogs ready for crankin’ and your clams ready for spankin’. We’ve got a double whammy of steaminess on the show this week, starting with a featured review of the new Emerald Fennell film “Wuthering Heights”. We’re a mixed bag on her work (to put it lightly), so this review was fireworks from the start. And to pair with it, we’re back with our first draft in almost a year. This time we set out to collaboratively draft a Top 10 list of the horniest movies ever! This is a fun one, hope you like it ;)

Paris returns to the mainland from her ocean voyage just in time for us to talk about a movie where a plane full of insufferable douchebags (and Rachel McAdams) leave the mainland via plane and crash land in the middle of the ocean! “Send Help” is Sam Raimi’s return to the horror genre after putting out Disney/Marvel slop for the last 15+ years. Is it a return to form, or the death knell of a has-been?

Paris is still sailing the seven seas with the world’s most annoying “elder emos”, so it’s just Matt and Travis holding down the fort again. Of course we had to squeeze in a review of the latest Netflix original for dads, “The Rip”, starring two of Hollywood’s biggest dads. Some copaganda served up with a side of cop slop, just the way we like it. Is it any good? You may be surprised when you hear our discussion. A fair amount of what we’ve been watching in the second half as well, so it’s all killer no filler this episode. Get into it.

It’s Paris’s birthday month, which as you all know is a national holiday (for her), so she will be M.I.A. for a couple episodes. The show must go on however, so we reached out to our best bud Kyle from Suds and Cinema to join us for our review of “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple”. We were pretty hot on last year’s installment in the franchise, so how does this one stack up?

We’re mere days away from recording our biggest episode of the year, the 2025 blowout spectacular. However, we know all you little piggies are hungry for more content, so to satiate you we threw together this episode to kick off 2026 with a review of one of the major critical darlings of the year in film, “Sentimental Value”. Did it work its magic on us? The beefier part of the episode actually comes after the review, where we rundown a fairly large list of films we’ve watched over the last week as part of cram jam. Hope you enjoy, and we’ll see you next week for the big one!
