- #120 - Underwear On the Outside
The movie: Superman: The Movie (1978)

33 min - Faking a Salad On the Side ['80s Edition]
The movie: When Harry Met Sally... (1989)

The movie: Bringing Up Baby (1938)
Joshua and Ian watch this screwball comedy involving a leopard and Cary Grant in glasses. Also there's money and some sort of story in there somewhere. Does it make any sense? Is it wise to analyze screwball comedy? Is Katherine Hepburn just stringing them along for the ride against their will?

The movie: The Razor's Edge (1946)
Ian and Joshua watch this adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's classic novel about a man who pursues the ideals of life and challenges society around him. Sounds like The Fountainhead. Is it going to be better, or just another march through Hell playing the Devil's game?

The movie: Harvey (1950)
Joshua and Ian discuss mental health and fitting into society as they watch this Jimmy Stewart classic. Can fantasy aid in being pleasant? And who's really the crazy one here? Is Harvey real or just a neat conceptHow are you, Mr. Wilson?
32 min - #115 - Headlights On Your Broom and Crowns On Your Back
The movie: Playtime (1967)

The movie: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1967)
Ian and Joshua debate reality and how we all deal with it, with mixed results.
Are we all garbage people? Or are we just doing the best we can with all the (gestures wildly)? Maybe it's just the alcohol...
27 min - #113 - The British Museum Plundered This Episode
The movie: The Mummy (1932)
Joshua and Ian watch a horror classic and expect some screams and pre-Code gore. Instead they wind up discussing the hypocrisies of archaeology and the fine print to curses.
