Strap in for a conversation about politics, Scottish lore, imposter syndrome, and why it's a god damn crime that *redacted* dies in this movie. Strap in!

I am not gonna even go through the effort of pointing out where spoilers are for this episode but I think it's at the 30 minute mark. It's 10 o'clock, I'm getting over COVID, just watch this incredible film.

We are wrapping up our MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX month strong with perhaps the finest film we've ever talked about on this show, The Thin Red Line. We do our best to string together big words and big thoughts to fully describe how special and moving this movie is, but if you really want to understand, and you haven't watch it, then just watch it.

Welcome to 2024, or, as Andy likes to call it, the Year of the Bug. We got an infestation, folks, and there's only one way to fix it -- blind faith in the military and DOING YOUR PART. Join us as we discuss Starship Troopers, a very funny and, at times, very uncomfortable movie that completely kicks ass... mostly.

I honestly don't know when story spoilers start in this episode because if you haven't seen Die Hard, I don't know how to help you.

FINALLY December is here! Santa's birthday is upon us, and we as loyal subjects are here to spread the ever important word of CHRISTMAS and DIE HARD. Join us as Andy and I talk through this classic and, more importantly, decide who we'd want to see casted if Die Hard ever gets the reboot treatment. Let's be real folks, it's only a matter of time.

We are starting our revenge month out strong with 2003's, Kill Bill Vol. 1, or as Quentin Tarantino likes to refer to it, his fourth movie. Grievances we have with Tarantino aside (which we get into heavily), this is a solid action movie. And what makes it even better is that Rik Shellhammer joins us to talk all about it! If you miss this episode then I am going to throw you in jail!

Hoo, daddy! Yes indeed! Today's episode is a regular hog fire, and not just because we are talkin' The Blair Witch Project, but because we have our very first guest! Andrew Weigel joins us today to talk about the new documentary he worked on, Kelce, why he loves James Gandolfini, and, maybe most importantly, refuse to apologize to me, Ethan, for making my job as podcast editor a living hell. What a guy!

It's officially Halloween month, y'all, and Andy and I are THRIVING. Well, Andy is more than me right now because, surprise -- I'm sick!

Strap in and enjoy this episode on 2007's propulsive, Rec, an absolute banger of a movie. If you haven't seen this movie, definitely watch it before listening to this because it's something that is so much fun going into without knowing what it's about. And then come back and listen to the rest of this episode!

Well, here we are. We did it? Hoo boy. This one nearly broke us. I am happy it didn't, because our next theme is so good, but boy howdy -- this is a tough movie! It's fun (?) and interesting (??), but it sure has a lot of problems! Figure them out with us!
