We reached one hundred episodes WTF?! To celebrate this milestone, we present our favorite films from a truly incredible year in cinema: 1997. Twenty-five years ago we had releases from Paul Thomas Anderson, David Lynch, David Fincher, James Cameron, Wong Kar Wai, Hayao Miyazaki, Steven Spielberg, Curtis Hanson, Ang Lee, Quentin Tarantino, Pedro Almodovar, etc. With this embarrassment of movie riches, which ones are true rewatchables for Mel, Ramon, and Quark?

Stalk the hosts!

SUPERSIZED EPISODE AHEAD! We talk about Industry S2 (20:49), The Boys S3 (26:16), The Sandman (33:03), and Jordan Peele's new movie NOPE (54:36), and profess our undying love for one of the best there is, Better Call Saul (1:21:04).

Erratum: The Endslate anniversary is actually October (not August) but the convo surrounding this mistake was too hilarious to delete. We're not perfect, k?!
