Sarlacc Mystery Snack.

John and Matt peel another Star Wars story onion as they ponder what the implications are of the stormtrooper that was in the Sarlacc next to Boba Fett. Where did he come from, and how did he get there, and what story possibilities does that open?

Lee welcomes Frankie Wilson who plays Frankie, Julie's housemate, close friend and actor in Joanna Hogg's The Souvenir, Part I & II.

It is time to finish up the Maze Runner trilogy as we finish The Death Cure. This episode wraps up a LONG unit on dystopian fiction, and we have mixed feelings. Of course, there is some horror because these books have been super scary, but no surprise there. This episode we do discuss the ethical question between Newt and Thomas. Would Asia and Charles do the same for each other? The story is still quite the page turner, though we do take exception to the ending. On a scale of Divergent to Hunger Games, where does The Maze Runner fall?

Next week we will be reading a new book in one week, The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Darren, Daniel and Phillip bring on Tristan Riddell and Mike Schindler to talk about how to prepare for Star Trek Mission Chicago. Listen along to hear their tips and plans.

Dallas and Lee travel to the near future where a family reckons with questions of love, connection, and loss after their A.I. helper unexpectedly breaks down.

Released 21 days after The Thomas Crown Affair, this adaptation of Michael Crichton’s Eaters of the Dead starred Antonio Banderas and caused Omar Sharif to temporarily retire in disappointment. A big-budget bomb, Houselights closes out the House of McTiernan to ask, “Is this an overlooked gem?”

Dallas and Lee review Robert Pattinson's The Batman that sees the Riddler, a sadistic serial killer, begin murdering key political figures in Gotham, Batman is forced to investigate the city's hidden corruption and question his family's involvement.

Derek "MDF" Young and Darren "EVA" Moser talk about some of their favorite materials they like to work with.

Dallas and Lee review A24's first sequel, Joanna Hogg's The Souvenir, Part II. In the aftermath of her tumultuous relationship with a charismatic and manipulative older man, Julie begins to untangle her fraught love for him in making her graduation film, sorting fact from his elaborately constructed fiction.

We dive into the third and final book of the Maze Runner trilogy, The Death Cure. Thomas and the gang make their dramatic escape from Wicked only to be plunged into the realities of a flare infested world. The feuding between Thomas and Teresa continues, and unsurprisingly, we do not approve of this. Expect more horror, more violence, and more confusion as usual. Some of the characters take a turn towards idiocy, which we also unsurprisingly judge rather harshly. If given the chance to get your memories back, would you have taken it?

Next week we will be reading chapters 38-73 of book 3 in the series, The Death Cure.
