With both Marvel and DC publicly announcing their movie lineup plans all the way into the year 2020, we discuss one of our favorite topics: COMIC BOOK MOVIE FATIGUE.  Will the movie going public tire of these films by the time 2020 rolls around or will they still be as ravenous as ever?  Next we have a detailed and SPOILER FILLED discussion about Jake Gyllenhaal’s new thriller, Nightcrawler.  With a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes we find out if it’s as good as critics are saying.  As always, we put a cherry on top with our Weekly Movie Recommendations.

It's part one of our two part Halloween SPOOKTACULAR!  Basically, that means it's just an excuse for us to talk about scary movies, and Roman Polanski's 1968 horror masterpiece Rosemary's Baby is our main focus of conversation.  From the terrifying plot to the outstanding performances, we discuss exactly what it is about Rosemary's Baby that strikes a nerve in horror fans.  We also got a chance to see some films during the first week of the 23rd annual Philadelphia Film Festival.  Hear what we've liked (and didn't like) so far.  All that and we still have time to serve up our frighteningly fantastic Weekly Movie Recommendations.

We’re classing up the joint this week as we look down our noses and talk about jazz and Shakespeare!  That’s right, the film Whiplash, starring J.K. Simmons and Miles Teller, opened (in limited release) this past weekend and 2/3 of us got to see it.  Then we pick up our playbills and dive deeper into our Roman Polanski director retrospective with his 1971 film adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth.  Were we bewitched by its spell or did it leave us cold like Banquo?  Find out by actually listening!  Also, we give our ghastly Weekly Movie Recommendations in the spirit of SHOCKTOBER!

It's SHOCKTOBER and we're celebrating by talking about Annabelle, the spinoff to James Wan's 2013 horror hit The Conjuring.  Then things get even more spooky when the conversation turns to Nicolas Cage's new film Left Behind.  Were we left in rapture after seeing it or was it a hellish experience?  Who cares?!  The big news is that David Fincher's new film Gone Girl came out this week and we discuss it in all its SPOILERY goodness.  All that, plus our Weekly Movie Recommendations await you in this terrifying episode!

Tired of the same old action thriller garbage you've seen time and time again?  Too bad!  Denzel Washington stars in The Equalizer, a film that Chris did not enjoy one bit of.  On the other hand, The Boxtrolls captured Dave's heart with its charming stop-motion animation and fully realized characters.  Speaking of satisfying characters, this week finds us starting our three episode director retrospective on Roman Polanski.  In this episode we're discussing his feature film debut, Knife in the Water.  After an incredibly intellectual conversation about the symbolism and themes of Knife in the Water, we play a ridiculous game based on the IMDb Parents Guide section.  As always, we end the show with our Weekly Movie Recommendations.

In this week's jam packed episode we talk about Kevin Smith's absurd spectacle Tusk and why you should see it.  Then we all go gaga over Dan Stevens' dreamy performance in the new retro thriller The Guest.  Dave went and saw The Maze Runner and ended up enjoying himself (for the most part).  Of course, all of these good vibes are flushed down the toilet when it comes time to tackle the third film in our David Cronenberg retrospective: eXistenZ.  The film ends up being just as terrible as its title's spelling and we give it a well deserved beating.  As always, we end the show with our Weekly Movie Recommendations and manage to pull out of the nosedive that is eXistenZ.

This week we start off talking about the new indie horror film Honeymoon as well as James Gandolfini's final film, The Drop - also starring Tom Hardy.  Continuing with our director retrospective on David Cronenberg, we discuss his massively successful 1986 re-make of The Fly (SPOILERS).  How does it compare to the original film from 1958 as well as Cronenberg's other films?  You'll never know... unless you listen to this show.  As always, we end the episode with our picks for Weekly Movie Recommendations.

Despite an abysmal class of opening films for the first week of September, Wetlands manages to shine with its endearing gross out take on the coming-of-age comedy.  This week is also part one of our three part David Cronenberg director retrospective.  In this episode we have a SPOILER filled discussion about his 1983 information age prophetic masterpiece, Videodrome.  All that, plus our Weekly Movie Recommendations lie behind your screen.  *organ music plays dramatically*
