Danny and Kevin continue their discussion around Season 2 of Hot D. And it is...good, it's good. It's a good program. But, like, guys...Game of Thrones was so great. Even when it was stupid. Hot D is never stupid. At it's worst, it's just kind of dull and over-reliant on shenanigans and happenstance. But the dragons are cool! Sort of. Your hosts are getting old, is what this episode is saying. Or are things getting getting too smooth and safe? Who knows? Danny and Kevin do.

House of the Dragon returns after two years, and Danny and Kevin aren't quite sure what to make of this program. The look, sound, and sense of dread will remind viewers of Game of Thrones, but is this show as good? Danny and Kevin recap the Season 2 premiere, discussing the show's reliance on whacky misunderstandings, foot fetishes, and their love for actors who play young Starks.

Danny and Kevin return to the trough for some more Star Wars slop. This time, it's set 100 years before The Phantom Menace and has already created a number of continuity errors certain to enrage both the Wookieepedia weirdos and Kevin. How does The Acolyte measure up to other Disney+ Star Wars tales? Is the show a Kaufmanesque gag? Why doesn't Harvey Dent recognize The Joker until after he takes his face mask off during the hospital bed scene in The Dark Knight? All these questions and more can be found within.

Danny and Kevin return to The Wasteland and check-in with Furiosa, the best character from the last Mad Max movie now played by a different person. Is the chess prodigy Anya Taylor-Joy a movie star? Based on the box office performance of Furiosa, America doesn't think so, but America doesn't know what it's missing! Listen to Danny and Kevin breakdown this prequel - should've been a sequel - visual feast from mastermind director Dr. George Miller.

Danny and Kevin can't get enough of these damn, dirty apes. They discuss the latest installment in what may be the greatest film franchise of all time: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Directed by an absolute no-name, the film is a worthy successor to the Andy Serkis-led trilogy from last decade which were themselves worthy successors to the silly/satirical sci-fi adventures from America's most disgusting decade. Listen as the fellas chart a course for future franchise success and Glen Powell's career.

It's the 40th anniversary of one of our duo's favorite films: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. 1984 was a banner year for film, particular within nerd culture, and Indy's first sequel (or prequel?) was one of the headliners. Produced in the midst of George Lucas' divorce, Steven Spielberg had to direct the shit out of this movie, resulting in a tonal smorgasbord of juvenile comedy and genuine horror that works fantastically in its favor. Danny and Kevin provide a commentary track as they discuss the making of the film, why it works so well, and the genius of John Williams and Steven Spielberg.

If you are watching the movie as you listen, start it at 4 minutes and 22 seconds into the pod.

Danny and Kevin celebrate Star Wars month with the foundational text of being an exhausted (and exhausting) nerd simultaneously disappointed and hopeful about our favorite things: The Phantom Menace. The film is unfiltered George Lucas, straight from the pompadour and inflicted upon a public unwilling or, dare we suggest, unworthy of its earnest weirdness. Folks...it's really not that bad.

When your movie needs to appeal to weird nerds, who ya gonna call? Bill Murray! He ain't afraid of no paycheck. Yes, the time has come: Danny and Kevin dedicate an entire episode to the goddamn Ghostbusters. Why have two comedy films from the 1980s, one kind of perfect and one perfectly ok, transmogrified into an unwieldy mishmashed rehash of nostalgia and nonsense? Who are these latest Spielbergian legacyquels for? Why can't we let the dead rest? And we're not just talkin' about Harold Ramis, folks! Listen and find out the answer to all this and more.

Last week, Danny and Kevin talked about Dune. This week they talk about Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. You see kids, a little spice can help you avenge your father's death at the hands of the Imperium but too much spice and you write a movie like Godzilla v Kong: Empire State of Mind. Listen as the fellas discuss the latest, stupidest-est entry in the finest cinematic universe of our time, the Monarch MonsterVerse.
