July 27, 2019 "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," Updated Tarantino Rankings, "The Shining"
Yep, here's our big Tarantino episode. First, we go long on Quentin Tarantino's fascinating "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." Honestly, we could have talked even longer. Then we, because it's the law, each give our Top 10 Tarantino Movies. They're different, but not as different as we thought. And if that weren't enough ... then, in our Reboot segment, we talk about a little movie called "The Shining." Kubrick! It's, uh, a packed show. Timestamps (approximate): 8:38 "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" 59:11 "The Shining" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

July 21, 2019 "The Lion King," "The Princess Bride," "Cache"
It has been a long time since critics were as actively divided about a big movie as they are "The Lion King." We are no different: One of us is down, and one is definitely not. Also, some fun, very different Reboots this week. We look at Rob Reiner's "The Princess Bride" and Michael Haneke's "Cache." As we said: Different. Timestamps: 10:06 "The Lion King" 34:30 "The Princess Bride" 55:25 "Cache" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

July 15, 2019 "The Farewell," "Stuber," "Crawl," "Poetry"
There was only one new movie we could get Will and Tim to even agree on watching this week: Lulu Wang's heralded "The Farewell." Grierson saw "Stuber," and Leitch saw "Crawl." Eh! Much better business in the Reboot, when we discussed Lee Chang-Dong's "Poetry" from 2012. Timestamps: 7:52 "The Farewell" 27:00 "Stuber" 35:18 "Crawl" 49:10 "Poetry" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

July 08, 2019 "Spider-Man: Far From Home," "Midsommar," "Ocean's 11"
Hey, hope you had a great Fourth! We've got two really big new movies for you this week. First, it's the next Marvel movie -- and last for a while, maybe? -- with "Spider-Man: Far From Home." Then we look at Ari Aster's, uh, polarizing new horror film "Midsommar." Then, in our Reboot segment, we go back to 2001, and Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's 11." Timestamps (approximate): 6:45 "Spider-Man: Far From Home" 32:00 "Midsommar" 57:09 "Ocean's 11" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.

We also discuss one new movie, the Danny Boyle Beatles fantasy "Yesterday." Our Reboot is another musical movie, Tom Hanks' directorial debut "That Thing You Do!"

June 24, 2019 "Toy Story 4," "Child's Play," "The Hunt for Red October"
It's the Pixar movie you've been waiting nine years for, another one that'll make you cry: It's "Toy Story 4." Don't worry: It doesn't kill your childhood. We also look at the new version of the '80s horror "classic" "Child's Play." And then there's a big fun Reboot, John McTiernan's thriller "The Hunt for Red October." Timestamps (approximate): 10:12 "Toy Story 4" 39:00 "Child's Play" 1:00:53 "The Hunt for Red October" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.

June 17, 2019 "Men In Black: International," "The Dead Don't Die," "Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story," "Shaft"
No Reboot this week, because we've got four spanking new movies for us both to discuss. There's the "Men in Black" branding exercise, Jim Jarmusch's new film "The Dead Don't Die," Martin Scorsese's Netflix documentary (sort of) about Bob Dylan "Rolling Thunder Revue" and ... another Shaft movie. (This has not been the best summer.) Timestamps (approximate): 7:23 "Men In Black: International" 24:28 "The Dead Don't Die" 45:33 "Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story" 1:08:15 "Shaft" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.

June 09, 2019 "Dark Phoenix," "Late Night," "The Last Black Man in San Francisco," "Pontypool"
Congratulations, America: You are finally done with the "X-Men" movies. OK, not really, but "Dark Phoenix" is a lackluster end to a once-excellent franchise. We discuss. We also get into Mindy Kaling's "Late Night." (We're split on that one.) Grierson solos on "The Last Black Man in San Francisco," and then, in our Reboot segment, we check out the 2008 pseudo-zombie Canadian thriller "Pontypool." Timestamps (approximate): 8:00 "Dark Phoenix" 23:50 "Late Night" 44:15 "The Last Black Man in San Francisco" 50:00 "Pontypool" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.

June 03, 2019 "Godzilla: King of the Monsters," "Rocketman," "Animal House"
Wait, there's another Godzilla movie? There is! It's "Godzilla: King of the Monsters." It's ... another Godzilla movie. Also, there is another movie about a classic rock star. This time Elton John gets the biopic treatment in "Rocketman." We disagree on that one. Also, in our Reboot segment, we have another "Will and Tim soil the favorite movies of your youth" entry, as we talk about 1978's "Animal House." Timestamps (approximate): 9:52 "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" 29:10 "Rocketman" 54:00 "Animal House" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.
