BIG double feature for y’all this episode. In a stunning reversal of policy, we have decided to return to the MCU for a featured review for the first time since “Spider-Man: Far From Home”. “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” kicks off Phase Six of the MCU, and we have thoughts. First though, enjoy our discussion of the latest Netflix comedy and Adam Sandler nostalgia vehicle, “Happy Gilmore 2”. DISCLAIMER: there are spoilers in both reviews, so beware if you have not seen the films and are sensitive to that kind of thing. Hope you like this one.

First thing first, you’re going to hear Matt state this is episode 172. Stupid fucking idiot, don’t listen to him. Second, thanks for checking out this episode! The featured review is the new film from acclaimed/divisive writer and director Ari Aster, with his new film “Eddington”. We didn’t go back and check the tape to verify, however we have a feeling this might be our longest, most thorough review EVER! An absolute beast, clocking in at over two whole hours. Lots to talk about, and a really fun conversation to have. Dig in!

You’ll have to listen to find out more about the rules and the long term implications, but the draft segment this episode involves frequent Wes Anderson collaborators.

We’re down a Paris this episode, so it’s up to the dynamic duo of Matt and Travis to hold down the fort once again and review the film that everyone is talking about. You’ve seen the trailers, you’ve seen the memes and tiktoks, and you’ve seen the Weeknd’s big ass teeth, but what about the movie itself? Is “Hurry Up Tomorrow” as ass as everyone is saying? Well, that’s where we come in. As always, stick around in the second half to get caught up on what else we’ve been watching since the last episode dropped.
