June 27, 2022 "Elvis," "The Black Phone," "Beavis and Butt-head Do the Universe"
Hey, so it's been a miserable few days. We're sort of getting used to that? Let's talk about some movies to take our minds off it. First, there's the Baz Luhrmann musical biography "Elvis," with Tom Hanks. (Not as Elvis.) Then we discuss the Blumhouse horror film "The Black Phone." And yeah, huh-huh, huh-huh, it's the Paramount Plus "legacy sequel" "Beavis and Butt-head Do the Universe." Droll, droll, very droll.

June 18, 2022 "Lightyear," "Spiderhead," "Good Luck to You Leo Grande," "Cha Cha Real Smooth"
The good news is that we have four big, fascinating movies to discuss this week. The bad news is that Will has Covid. Hey, you win some, you lose some. Anyway, we discuss the Pixar "Toy Story" offshoot "Lightyear," the Netflix film with Chris Hemsworth and Miles Teller "Spiderhead," the Emma Thompson sex comedy "Good Luck to You Leo Grande" and the Cooper Raiff/Dakota Johnson romantic comedy (and huge Sundance hit) "Cha Cha Real Smooth."

June 12, 2022 "Jurassic World Dominion," "Hustle," "M"
Oh, look: ANOTHER DINOSAUR MOVIE. It's time for "Jurassic World Dominion," the sixth movie in the franchise and the final of the Trevorrow Trilogy. (Do people call it that?) One of us likes it more than the other. But neither of us likes it. Then we look at the Netflix Adam Sandler basketball film "Hustle." It has the OTHER Anthony Edwards. Then it's reboot time, shoutout to Steve: It's the Fritz Lang classic "M."

May 30, 2022 "Top Gun: Maverick," 2022 Cannes Film Festival Review
Grierson is back from Cannes! It's a real show, not just Will yammering into his microphone.

Then Grierson recaps his Cannes experience, and tells you what he thought of the two movies Will talked about last week, "Men" and "Firestarter."
