2019 seems like a year of endings. We talk about the end of two decade-long franchises (spoiler alert: one ended a lot better than the other). Craig, Tara, and Cullen each discuss the very different things we'd like to see in the next phase of the MCU -- though we all agree we could use a bit of a break(something our bladders could've also used during the movie).

Cullen brings a comedy classic to the pod, but does it hold up? Listen to find out!

We're rejoined by one of the founding members of the podcast for episode 100 (+1). Dennis brings us this unconventionally conventional western and we break it down.

For our 100th episode we go back 100 years to one of the foundational films of the Expressionist movement. Join us as we deep dive into this journey through the surreal and try to figure out just what is going on in this topsy-turvy classic.

Watch yourself! We breakdown Jordan Peele's latest film "Us" We start with a spoiler-free review before the first break, then we dig in once we return to talk about the rest of the movie and what it all means. Have we cracked the code? You'll have to listen to find out, but be careful--you never know what's lying just beneath the surface!

Higher, Further, Faster, baby! We talk Captain Marvel--what we like, what we didn't like and the possibilities we see for the next phase of the MCU.

It's Oscar season and Black History month, so we'd be remiss if we didn't take a look at Spike Lee's most recent film (and his first nomination for Best Director). We discuss the racist past of America and how Spike uses this particular story to highlight how far and how little we've come since this true story took place.

This episode was also recorded before the Oscars, so we speculate whether Lee will be able to snag the votes to win the category with a film about racism that doesn't have white people leaving the theater feeling warm, fuzzy and well-distanced from the pervasive system of white supremacy that exists to this day.

Love, lust, and political intrigue are just a few of the things we discuss as we talk about the classic film Casablanca just in time for Valentine's Day. Join us as we explore this timeless gem (which one of our hosts is just seeing for the first time)!

Oyez oyez! All rise for the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg! Notorious in reputation, mother of scorching dissents, breaker of glass ceilings first of her name and Queen Supreme! Craig, Cullen, and Tara sit down to talk about another documentary--RBG! We're also joined by Tara's husband Jim, a real-life lawyer person, to discuss the impact of Justice Ginsburg's life and work on the landscape of the law in the U.S. court systems.

After reading the reviews for Welcome to Marwen Craig, Cullen, and Tara unanimously decide to do an episode on a movie that we actually want people to watch--the original documentary about Mark Hogancamp that inspired the biopic. We talk about Robert Zemeckis and his uncanny attraction to the Uncanny Valley (Tara breaks down the research pretty well, but it's definitely worth a Google), imagination and memory, and a bunch of other stuff that would be spoilers, so just check it out!
