Shreya and Jacob talk about the 1993 Frank Capra riff Dave. What if a good guy was president? Why does this movie deify the small business owner? How many Jay Leno monologues can one movie take? Enjoy!

Shreya and Jacob talk about Tim Burton's weirdly horny Batman sequel, where a mutant penguin man runs for mayor, cats bring women back to life, and Michael Keaton gets completely sidelined in his own movie.

Shreya and Jacob talk about the combination political satire/election integrity awareness campaign Man of the Year. Why is this movie so dogshit? Would Howard Stern have made this better or worse? Why are there two competing premises in this script, and why is more time spent on the more boring one? Can Robin Williams #StoptheSteal?

Shreya, Jacob, and Lance talk about the other 1964 nuclear war movie. Henry Fonda plays Mr. The President. Walter Matthau is the freaking Joker. and Dom DeLuise just can't catch a break. They discuss nuclear war, disarmament, and little accidents that end up killing millions. Also the Transformers movies.

Shreya, Jacob, and special guest Reilly talk about Tim Robbins' satirical take on the rise of the American far right. How much of Bob Roberts is just repackaged Dylan? Is Brickley Paiste a real name? Is there any hope left in the American political system? And why is "Complain" so catchy?

Shreya and Jacob take on gamer culture and 80s nostalgia in their most insipid form... a mediocre Adam Sandler movie. They talk about how the hell you use a cheat code in real life, how Ronald Reagan looks like a Madame Tussauds figure of himself, why Josh Gad is the actual worst, and how this movie has the most despicable ending of any movie in decades. Not a fun movie, hopefully a fun episode.

Shreya, Jacob, and Andrew talk about the 2013 action movie that asks the question: what if Obama could kick your ass? They talk about the very terrible action scenes, why this doesn't work at all as a Die Hard riff, the epic bacon Marvel movie dialogue, and the failures of 2010s liberalism. Also Joe Biden won and is going to be the president, so you can't own Jacob now. It's illegal.

Shreya and Jacob talk about the 2008 Kevin Costner political goof-em-up. Is Bud Johnson alpha? Why is Donald Greenleaf such a pushover? Why are so many TV news people in this? Republicans! Democrats! Voters! Who wins? Who loses? You decide. Kinda. Also we talk a little about the presidential election that's happening as you listen... or slightly after you listen... or maybe before... exciting stuff...
