Make Me Watch

E makes McGee wish upon a multi-platinum recording star. E whispers his last words on the dark side of the moon. McGee makes sure they spell his name right—L-I-D-E-O—and they both kick the tires on a late-model super-car-man.

McGee makes E slap on some grey-face and stumble into his next appointment with the grandfather of zombies. They fill the chopper with an alternate all-star cast, pass the time with a game of "how'd they do that?", and escape with a new appreciation of Romero's excellence.

E makes McGee blindfold himself before heading off-Broadway. E laments the corniness of magicians before admitting to being born on the cob. McGee’s told he is the Rouletista and, against all hope, chooses peace, and they both keep bellin’ down that golden brick road.

McGee makes E board the windows and bunker down on a foundational piece of spooky season cinema. We take a break from problematic artists to gas up a real one, run down a Darabont homage before The Walking Dead, and try to survive through the night at the feet of godfather of zombies.

The long-awaited and long-winded continuation of the Diary of a Mad White Savior series comes to a surprising end. McGee considers a photogenic catchphrase, E spots the sadist in a savior, and they both welcome a quiet but essential guest to round out the show.

E makes McGee bust out an episode from our famous vault as he's feeling under the weather this week. Enjoy an extra long episode from an era when our runtimes ran like an out of control contagion. Lawrence of Arabia Pt 2 next week.

E makes McGee stop fishing water out of a well to dine in Wadi Rumm! E traces the butterfly effect from the 00’s ’Stan’ to a white savior miracle of today, McGee takes a well-advised detour around the brown-face casting convo, and after the looooong journey of part 1, they can both agree this film's a tall glass of lemonade.
