Joon Kim drops out of a sky portal to help the guys make a definitive (sure, why not?) ranking of the ongoing megalith that is the MCU.  In this installment, we talk throught our consensus top 5 of this genre-unto-itself, while next week will feature us each stumping for a personal choice that did not make the cut.

The guys welcome Brett Blake to the podcast in order to finally put to bed all the controversy surrounding the Star Wars sequel trilogy to bed.  It is mostly a reasonable, civil discussion of differing philosophies on the meaning and handling of franchise IP in the streaming era, that may eventually take a hard swerve into all advocating for the genocide of all septuagenarians.  So business as usual?

Joon Kim returns to yak about the LOKI show on Disney+, the unique challenges it meets with aplomb, its perfunctory action scenes and sublime Owen Wilson presence, how it stacks up against prior Marvel shows and finally a group therapy session to process anxiety at the daunting deluge of Marvel content to come.

Brendan Leonard joins us to discuss Fincher's satirical thriller.  We're talking media satire, marriage as a fraud upon the public, where Fincher and author/screenwriter Gillian Flynn's real allegiances lie, and the ultimate battle of the sexes as Kim Dickens faces off against Tyler Perry.

Chris Prentice returns to discuss the meteoric rise of possibly the biggest, most unlikely and unique star in the history of Hollywood:  Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger.  No one did it like him.  Is that because he is a one-of-a-kind talent, or because he is just an inhuman brick that can only play cyborgs believably?   And is KINDERGARTEN COP actually better than PREDATOR? 

No. It's not. But it might get more love in this episode.

Elisabeth Rappe joins the guys to talk about Fincher's opening to an aborted trilogy, which somehow operates as a triptych of films unto itself.   Rated "S" for Stellan Skarsgaard, Serial Killers, Sexual Assault, and Superfluous Swedish-ness.
