In our first (and hopefully not last!) special guest appearance episode, we invited someone who’s tastes and interests in film we can personally vouch for. Trevor’s brother, Tyler pays us a visit to discuss his personal top 10 favorite movies of all time. Tears will be shed, laughs will be had, and yes…there will be blood.

For Trevor’s homework this week, Mike brings the universally praised and highly regarded western, Once Upon a Time in the West. Join us on an epic adventure as we discuss themes, plot points, camera terminology, and Will Smith slapping horses.

For the first homework assignment, Mike and Trevor discuss the overlooked and under appreciated 2012 film, The Place Beyond the Pines. A lengthy discussion ensues with many surprises and revelations coming to light. To this day, Trevor still insists on riding like lighting, even though we all know how it ends.

In this episode, Mike brings his first ever podcast homework assignment to Trevor. Mike and Trevor then discuss the pros and cons of lowering their overhead while also talking about the highly regarded cult classic “Being John Malkovich”

On this "very special" episode, Mike and Trevor briefly ((maybe not so briefly)) discuss their thoughts and opinions on the latest Batman release, including the different cuts we may or may not have seen.
