April 29, 2019 "Avengers: Endgame," "Goldfinger"
It's probably going to the highest-grossing movie of all time, and you all saw it this weekend. So let's get to it: Let's dig into "Avengers: Endgame."

April 22, 2019 "Under the Silver Lake," "Boogie Nights," "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover"
We have a little announcement to make at the beginning of the show, but don't worry, it's a good one. Then we discuss the cult-film-in-the-making "Under the Silver Lake," with Andrew Garfield. The real fun comes from the Reboots, with Paul Thomas Anderson's "Boogie Nights" and Peter Greenaway's "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover." Timestamps: 10:44 "Under the Silver Lake" 36:20 "Boogie Nights" 1:06:12 "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.

April 15, 2019 "Hellboy," "Her Smell," "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"
They made a new "Hellboy" movie? They did. And it is bad. Much better is Alex Ross Perry's "Her Smell," with Elizabeth Moss. But whatever your thoughts about either movie, neither is going to stand the test of time like Sergio Leone's "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." (In that order.) Timestamps: 9:27 "Hellboy" 29:44 "Her Smell" 46:50 "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

April 07, 2019 "Shazam!" "Pet Semetary," "High Life," "Amazing Grace"
New movies, and they're both hits. First, it's the DC Comics "light" version with "Shazam!" Then there's a remake of the Stephen King novel "Pet Semetary." Then Grierson solos on two art-house hits: Claire Denis' "High Life" and the long-thought-lost Aretha Franklin documentary "Amazing Grace." Learn more about your ad choices.

April 01, 2019 "Dumbo," "The Highwaymen," "The Beach Bum"
First off, we apologize for the slightly worse audio mixing on this episode: It's Leitch's fault, he thought his mic was plugged in but wasn't. Sorry. Three new movies this week: Tim Burton's "Dumbo," John Lee Hancock's "The Highwaymen" and whatever the hell Harmony Korine is doing with "The Beach Bum." Also, Grierson talks briefly about "Diane."

March 25, 2019 "Us," "Dragged Across Concrete," "Roll Red Roll," "Rumble Fish"
There isn't much of a bigger story in movies right now than the release of a new Jordan Peele movie, and "Us" looks like it might be even a bigger hit than "Get Out." How does it compare to that movie, and how does it stand on its own? We have an extended conversation. Then we look at the Mel Gibson-Vince Vaughn cop thriller "Dragged Across Concrete," and the Steubenville documentary "Roll Red Roll." Then, in our Reboot segment, we look at Francis Ford Coppola's odd "Rumble Fish." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
