This year, we are thankful for David Fincher. We dive into the self-parodic (or self-serious?) Fassbender voiceover. Is there such thing as too many Smiths needle drops? Plus: are we one of the many, or one of the few?

Can you find the wolves in this podcast? Scorsese has given us another masterpiece. We try to discern some of the impressionistic scenes and visuals. The emotional beats of this movie are almost too much to handle. Plus: do we have any career best performances here?

We apply stringent deductive reasoning and logical examination to our GUY Kenneth Branagh's latest detective story. Are we finally figuring out Branagh's casting choices? Did Jed get too spooked from this Halloween tale? Plus: who should be in the next Poirot tale?

Netflix might not roll out the red carpet for these new Wes Anderson shorts, but we sure as hell will. HENRY SUGAR, THE SWAN, THE RATCATCHER, and POISON are all topics of discussion. Did we expect these particular stories from Wes? How do we feel about the format and marketing Netflix has done? Plus: Wes Anderson's horror sensibilities.

Gridiron gods, football fiends, pigskin pals: the baseball loving fellas at Flicking and Screaming are branching out into America's favorite contact sport. Why don't people appreciate Al Pacino and Denzel Washington enough in these films? What separates football movies from baseball movies? Plus: Will Patton's mint julep accent, and has John C. McGinley ever been bad in a movie?

We're chatting about one of the sneaky best new releases of the year. Topics range from BOOGIE NIGHTS to dissecting Ben Platt's career, along with cell phones in movies, child actors, and some unfortunate political jokes. Plus: Tatro talk.

For the third time, moviegoers said farewell to Indiana Jones. Did this go-around hit any nostalgia points, or did we find them all dried up? Will someone argue for a return to CRYSTAL SKULL? Plus: we think Steven Spielberg is a good director.
