Things are about to get real. You have been warned.

Hereditary has been described as one of the most disturbing and terrifying movies of the decade. We talked about it, and also recapped our thoughts about the 2019 Oscars!

What is Mike's true fear? Can Andrew remember the Three Types Of Horror? And what celebrity would each of them choose to be for a day?

Happy Birthday to us!

A year ago, we were covering Netflix movies people had already forgotten and yelling about the Oscars. Now we're just doing one of those things as we discuss Green Book!

Are you ready to watch two guys disappear into their improv roles? Can Mike body double for Mahershala Ali as a side gig, or will he have to move to LA? Will Andrew finally receive his honorary Italian citizenship?

It's a musical episode! Kind of!

We're talking about Bohemian Rhapsody, the smash-hit divisive Oscar contender. Is musical improv Mike's greatest weakness? Is Andrew a delightful stereotype? And would you fund our Patreon for a Wu-Tang biopic?

Don't call it a comeback.

We're talking about The Visit, the movie that brought M. Night Shyamalan back into positive critical discussion (and profitable movies). Can Mike resist the urge to ruthlessly criticize a child? Do Andrew's fatherly instincts keep him from seeing the truth? And are you ready for a 5-minute tangent about Infinity War?

This week, it's two Smiths for the price of one as the Shyamalanamarathon continues!
