It is officially Liz, Max, & Spencer go to Summer Camp on the pod (as we discuss in THIS episode. First up is another genre draft, where we each try to pick the 4 best representations of movie themes that we chose: Spencer with Steven Spielberg movies (with an added 5th of his best produced movie), Max with Nicholas Cage movies, and Liz with movies that take place (or have scenes at) a summer camp. It might be summer, but listen and grade our picks to see who is the best picker of them all!

It's officially Summer Blockbuster season! Liz joins for Season 9's opening episode to discuss the entire summer movie slate: From our next MCU sequel, to the animated slate, to multiple legacy sequels, to the great horror lineup, this summer has it all! Hopefully this helps you mark your calendar for your next movie night out!

This episode is a tribute to one of the all time greats. Roger Corman, the King of Cult, passed away at 98 years old, and we take this brief episode to discuss the impact and legacy of a man who helped start so many iconic careers, and whose love of cinema shone brightly for almost 100 years. Thank you for everything, Roger.

A Long Long Time Ago, Theresa and Host Spencer talked about the Original Trilogy. It's now May again, which means she is subjected to more space fights, Skywalkers, and Lightsaber battles. But this time with MORE CG. We dive into it all: the cringey lines, the EPIC lightsaber duels, and the Darth Jar Jar theory. We promise we like these movies... except Attack of the Clones. What were you doing George?

Now normally we don't like doing new movie reviews, but when a remake of a Universal Monster movie comes out, and it has Dan Stevens, and it's done by Radio Silence, and there is SO MUCH BLOOD, well then we have to cover it on the pod! Liz joins in on the fun to talk about the newest addition to vampire movies, Abigail. Unlike the titular vampire, this movie doesn't suck. Go watch it and listen to our review of this vampiric romp.

April Fools from the pod! For ONE NIGHT ONLY we are a music pod, and Max & Gavin join the show to find out who is the best American Rock Band of All Time. We had to do a for radio edit of this podcast, because the original was like a Grateful Dead song: it just kept going and didn't want to end. From Sublime to The Stooges, and from Heart to Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, we go in depth to find out who stands alone at the American Rock Mountaintop.

Award season makes its final stop at the Direct to Audio Podcast Awards, where we celebrate all that was good in film this past year. Hosts Liz & Spencer share their picks for the 17 categories, and give their top movies of the year from all genres and backgrounds. Dust off that suit or ballgown, because you have one more red carpet to walk!

This one is for Carl.

An 80s action movie that takes place in Detroit, starring Carl Weathers as a tough as nails cop trying to stop Craig T. Nelson from his power trip? Sign this pod up! Guest Steven and Host Spencer get back together to discuss this crazy ride, and pay homage to one of the best to ever grace the screen.

*sigh* yes, we did it. Similarly to her mother, our souls died a little while researching this spider movie. Why did this get made, why is the ADR so bad, why is the villain not wearing shoes, and since when do fireworks break human sized holes through brick walls? New friends Stephanie and Damien don't know, and neither do host Spencer and his side kick Theresa. The web that connects the 4 of them is more confusion than a super hero power... which the 4 leads don't even have.

Hey the 2000s was obsessed with franchises and sequels, so why not have a 2 part episode? This time around Max & Host Spencer cover the back half of the decade, and give their final picks for the top 3 movies of the decade based on their choices. Will it be odd? Probably. Will the nostalgia play a factor? Of course. Does it matter? Absolutely not.
