Adding professional dillweedery to their already impressive arsenal, the internet's leading contrarian a-holes are back to defend the indefensible. However, this week's challenge may just prove their undoing, as Dave, Dan, and special guest Dave Ryan attempt to exonerate... nay, justify the very existence of Star Wars' Jar Jar Binks. But first, to balance the scales, they join the masses in celebrating the work of director Edgar Wright (Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World).

Patrick and Alex deconstruct the madness surrounding M. Night Shyamalan's Signs, starring two actors who subsequently went batsh*t-crazy -- Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix. Coincidence or conspiracy? You make the call!

Dave, Mac, and Mike go spoilerifically in depth on Christopher Nolan's Inception, but only after Erich offers his fashionably late review of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Michael teases the forthcoming Verdict redesign, and everyone provides their thoughts on bizarre Adult Swim shows, movies and TV that inspire random acts of violence, and villains who suffer fates worth that death.

After a week of Summer vacation, Steve, Jon, and Adam return with talk of obscure WWE wrestlers from the '90s. Adam shares thoughts on Dragon Quest (Warrior!) IX, Jon is a generation behind with Dragon Quest (Warrior!) VIII, and Steve finally puts Mass Effect 2 to bed.

The boys celebrate a banner first half of the year by picking their favourite games thus far, which games they are most looking forward to most, and which awesome game you ungrateful bastards have yet been bothered to play.

Opening Music: Overture by Koichi Sugiyama from "Dragon Quest VIII" by Level 5/Square-Enix. Closing Music: Selbina by Naoshi Mizuta from "Final Fantasy XI" by Square-Enix

Vacation is over for Kent and Michelle, who have already begun planning for early retirement. Until then, they have to deal with new jobs, lost keys, life with tweens, more classic Star Trek on Blu-ray, and a long overdue review of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

This week, Clark explores music from mind-bending movies, offering selections from The Matrix, Altered States, Synecdoche, New York, Dead Ringers, The Game, Jacob's Ladder, Inland Empire, Dark City, and Inception -- which is also reviewed on the program. So sit back, relax, and get bent!

Judges David Johnson and Dan Mancini, the internet's most sought after talking heads in the realm of contrarian a-holery, welcome in special guest analyst Brett Cullum to defend the unappreciated greatness that is John Carpenter's bitterly satirical Escape from LA.

Judge Patrick Bromley and co-host Doug Schultz strap on their g-strings and twirl their pasties to every shining moment of Paul Verhoeven's brilliant disaster... Showgirls. Comments, complaints, or suggestions? Email fthismoviepodcast(at)gmail.com. (Warning! These boys have filthy mouths and bad attitudes)

With sharpened pitchforks and lighted torches, the boys take on the unjustified Emmy nominees, before settling into a week's worth of life on the entertainment fringe. Dave and Patrick direct much love towards Predators and epic-hate at Chris Klein's Caught in the Crossfire; Erich takes a Look Around his magical library; Mac compares and contrasts Marvel and DC's direct-to-DVD movies. Plus: Favorite educational TV shows, genre all-star match-ups, favorite musical numbers from non-musical movies, and another exciting round of Batman versus.

Enjoy the madness all week long on the Friday Filibuster Facebook page.

Before packing up the new motor home and heading off on vacation, The Dixons record a new episode in which they analyze the Highland Games, Shatner's toupee, IMAX horses, real vampires, and interplanetary travel.
