Longtime friend of the podcast Shaun Moran of Regression to the Mean joins us for a long conversation on the premiere blockbuster filmmaker of the century. How did we feel about OPPENHEIMER? What film formats did we catch it on? Will we do bad Michael Caine impersonations? Plus: Shaun will never forgive us for our INCEPTION takes.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to support Tom Cruise at the box office and listen to us talk about DEAD RECKONING PART ONE. Unfortunately, one of our co-hosts did not accept the mission. How will that translate to recording this podcast? Why does this movie get compared to GLASS ONION? plus: Chip makes a delightful blunder.

We're doing our BARBIE homework and throwing Robbie versus Gosling into the ring. Did we accidentally choose one of the worst Robbie movies? How freaking sad are the violins in MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS? Plus: we debate some digital cinematography choices.

Freight train, freight train, go so fast . . . Wes Anderson broke our hearts again. Who gives the best performance in a bonkers cast? What layer of the story touched us the most? Plus: Evan forgets what a crater is called.

We think you'll find page 47 of this podcast interesting . . . maybe even life-altering. How wild is the Ed Harris performance here? Where's the third one? Plus: how does this movie relate to 9/11?

Evan and Chip are hopping in a car (or covered wagon, or train, or explosive-laden boat) and heading to the Pacific Northwest with the films of Kelly Reichardt. What are the challenges and joys of slow cinema? We confront our own social fears. Plus: is ranking these movies a fool's exercise?

Fortunately for our listeners, this podcast is not full of shoddy manufacturing and left to rot, incessantly humming, in a warehouse. What sets BLACKBERRY apart from the recent trend of product-biopic-advertisement hybrid movies? Is Glenn Howerton actually bald? Do we wish we were from Waterloo? Plus: what does the type of phone you had in high school say about you?

No, this movie is not about our sacred and revered duties as podcasters, but we forgive you if the title led you to think so. Evan clarifies his position on Pedro Pascal. There are a lot of movies in this movie. Plus: a random tangent on THE FLASH, and what do we think Nick Cage's mindset was in making this movie?

Fire up the griddle for some midnight pancakes with us. Why don't people respect Nancy Meyers? Is this Jack's best work of the century? Plus: Chip wants to fuck everyone in this movie.
