Remember leaving home to go to the job? As of this writing, only 4% of employers are requiring workers to return to their work place full time, 5 days a week. Which begs the question, does a movie like Office Space still work?

This biopic explores the life of American gay rights activist, Harvey Milk and his subsequent assassination. Heavy stuff but you need more than important subject matter to make a good film. Did that happen here?

It's the classic shark meets beach. Shark eats beachgoers. Shark gets hunted. This pic created the concept of Summer blockbuster and the boys are joined by previous podcast guest and writer River Clegg, to discuss. We're gonna need a bigger podcast!

This film about political apathy as the world is being taken over by fascist scum couldn't possibly have any bearing on today's world, could it? There can be no way this still works, right?

It's the movie that kicked off Sigourney Weaver's career and launched way too many sequels, toys, video games and even novels. The boys are positively bursting out of their chests to watch Alien. And Kit Nowokunski helps with the summary, because there's no way they're going to let George cover this without them.
