Sometimes when you cage the beast, the beast gets angry... It's time to talk about the most beloved, animalistic, cinematic superhero! We compare the beginning of mutant Jimmy's story in the 2009 movie "X-Men Origines: Wolverine" to the end of his tale in the 2017 Oscar nominated film "Logan". We break down all the lovable and hateable characters in these movies and the journey Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart have taken in the X-Men movies, before deciding which movie was best!

Ya well, this is just like our opinion, man... In this episode we compare two bizarre mystery comedies in which lazy assholes stumble into bizarre sex conspiracies in LA while finding luck and companionship along the way. They face the 1998 cult classic Coen Brothers movie "The Big Lebowski" off against the 2016 underrated Shane Black film "The Nice Guys". For the second week in a row, they gush about Ryan Gosling and Roger Deakins. They also laugh about all the absurd moments of these two movies and try to get to all the endless quotes before determining which one is better.

As we gush over Ryan Gosling and take tests to determine if we have souls, we decide whether the sequel was better than the OG film. Let us know which one you like more!
