July 02, 2026 {July 4th Special} The Patriot (2000)
Buckle up folks as we delve into the three hour bedtime story for the US, 2000's "The Patriot." Starring Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, Joely Richardson, Jason Isaacs, Chris Cooper, Tcheky Karyo, Rene Auberjonois and Tom Wilkinson alongside many more, this $110 million dollar "historical war film" tells a very special version of the Revolutionary war that makes the fever dreams of Ben Shapiro seem more realistic. One of the rare movies we implore listeners to not watch prior to listening, join us as we discuss the film's loose grasp on reality, the propaganda of films like this, the review scandal, and the hate gremlin that lives behind Mel Gibson's eyes.

June 23, 2026 Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971) with Proles Pod
The second in our series on "non adult films," we are joined again by Rae of Proles Pod alongside their co host Jeremy to discuss the 1971 live action animated musical comedy "Bedknobs and Broomsticks." Starring Angela Lansbury, David Tomlinson, Roddy McDowall, Same Jaffe, John Ericson, Ian Weighill, Cindy O'Callaghan and Roy Smart, the film was meant to recapture the success of "Mary Poppins," which was released 7 years earlier. Unfortunately for us it did not come close to capturing the charm of "Mary Poppins" though it did turn a profit for Disney. Join us as we examine the post World War 2 coping mechanism of a nation with worse pacing than a bad trip on slo-mo, and all the racism and nationalism a nation could muster onto screen.

June 16, 2026 Sheep Detective (2026)
Joined this week by friend of the show, Smirkgently, Evan and Ward talk about 2026's "Sheep Detective" loosely inspired by the book, "Three Bags Full" and starring Hugh Jackman, with Nicholas Braun, Ncholas Galitzine and Emma Thompson. Evan and Ward ride handle Smirk's cutting wit and brilliant discourse without Bill this week (which is why there isn't a more detailed description of the episode since he wasn't there and now you know who to blame when synopsizes aren't written and art isn't uploaded).

May 12, 2026 Dredd (2012)
This week are joined by Mike from The MDX Podcast to talk about 2012's "Dredd," starring Karl Urban, Lena Headey, Olivia Thirlby and Wood Harris. Directed by Pete Travis (not really, as you will find out), this film brings the gritty, dystopian, comic classic Judge Dredd to life on the big screen that Sylvester Stallone should be envious of. We discuss the unchanging reality of the police state from now to the not so far future world of Dredd, total alienation and dehumanization of the working class, and the merits of a drug that slow your perception of reality to 1%.
