E makes McGee ingest fats, salts, sugars, and a whole host of other morsels in Mark Mylod’s bottle-neck thriller. They taste, savor, and relish in Ralph Fiennes’ Hannibal-esque chef with a little barnyard funk. Try not to get lost in the sauce of crafting the finest podcast experience.

McGee makes E build-a-broadsword for the Marsh Madness tournament of immortals. They shrug off mortal wounds and bad accents, mourn the loss of a first draft doomed to die, and come for the neck of anyone who says we can't have a good time watching a bad movie.

E makes McGee behold the jewels of fat glittering on the surface of Juzo Itami’s love letter to all things culinary. They savor the aromas of vignettes to express affection, poke at the morality of stealing recipes before setting them aside, and apologize to all parties involved for the butchering of names.

McGee makes E face-off at dawn to screen Ridley Scott’s piercing debut about some finely aged beef.

They draw pistols and comparisons to Ridley's later work, catch flashes of steel and genius through the fog, and clash over how many takes does it take to get to the center of an actor's performance. Were Shawn’s low-brow picks just a feint to lure E into his fool’s guard?

E makes McGee lounge poolside for one last job. They drill into the tiled heart of Glazer’s debut, panic at the mere mention of this towering Kingsley performance, and toss a tenner to the crew for a pod well done.

E makes McGee throw on his Livestrong bracelet to trek uphill to Belleville. They bend over backwards to right animated wrongs, commune over “sing-alongs”, and lounge in the lazy hills of Marseilles until the broom wagon comes to collect them.
