                Recommendations and Outro (01:09:43):

                • Frank: Sometimes you should have a burrito
                • Tim: See Megalopolis (2024) in theaters. If you want it to be a good movie, watch Metropolis (1927), Metropolis (2001), Nosferatu (1920), and at the lowest framerate possible Intolerance (1916), as well as Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), and also you should have seen The Godfather (1972)
                • Brandon: Reservation Dogs season 3, the original Bubblegum Crisis OVAs, The Left Hand of Darkness
                • Ash: Appleseed (1988), Dandadan
