Friend and critic Jake Tropila, bravely joins us to talk about the third Jurassic World movie, which is the sixth Jurassic Park movie, in which the fist film's septuagenarian cast is reunited to putter vacantly around a lab looking at big grasshoppers. Meanwhile, in Malta, Chris Pratt does the "talk to the hand" at every dinosaur he meets and it works for some reason. It's a cavalcade of bad performances, bad direction, and terrible xillennial writing.

AnimeSerbia from Kemonofriendzone joins us on a breezy, digressive odyssey into zoomer nostalgia, 2000s toy lines, advertising, and the Tom Hanks Dynasty in an episode about a direct-to-TV CGI Hot Wheels movie.

Pulp month comes to a close and we get back to business as the gang discusses Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever. Disney and Ryan Coogler's brief Eulogy for Chadwick Boseman and the over-two-hour postscript in which they desperately cast around for replacements for all the guys that retired before Covid. An origin film for not only a new Black Panther, but a new Iron Man Jr. and completely revamped "Namor: The Sub-Mariner", they could've called it Ironheart Origins: Latinx Wakanda. Other discussions include: The contradiction between an idealistic power fantasy and anti-colonial politics, the friction between Coogler and Disney, US diaspora politics, the limits of MCU worldbuilding, murkovision, and more!

For some people the mere mention of December 25th, 2010, or "The Day Gainax Ruined Christmas," instills fear and traumatic flashbacks to being Le Trolled. For Nicole, it was another day in dad's mancave on the family desktop computer lurking /a/.

In our final Pulp Month outing before we return for duty back at the IP slop mines, we watched the Warren Beatty vanity/autistic-passion project Dick Tracy, yet another attempt by Disney to play catch up to Warner Bros. and Batman. A nearly $50 million black tank-top movie shot by the DP of The Bird with the Crystal Plumage where Al Pacino in heavy prosthetics eats out the scenery and Madonna blasts nip. And in our most brain damaged discussion since The Book of Henry, we delve into Beatty's attempts to hold onto the Dick Tracy rights with Dick Tracy Special and Dick Tracy Special: Tracy Zooms In. Have you considered extending your life with SP (small portions), pomegranates, and our friend the blueberry? Plus, Stu reads a Diddy ahhh selection from Madonna's Sex book that even freaked Nicole out.

A preview of our episode discussing 1991's The Rocketeer and the Dave Stevens comic on which it is based. 

He can cloud men's minds with braps of mediocrity. We continue our foray into Pulp Month with our first actual pulp character, The Shadow, starring Alec "walkemdown" Baldwin as the titular character.

We return to our 'International Blockbusters' series with a conversation about S.S. Rajamouli's breakout Telugu-language historical action romance. As complete outsiders to the world's largest and most diverse film culture, we try our level best to situate the film in a historical and cultural context, interpret it's nationalist politics, and discuss what makes India's maximalist 'Masala' blended-genre blockbusters both similiar and different from their Hollywood counterparts, and get into what makes this film so lively and engaging. Whatever we might get right or wrong, we can come away with one understanding that might unify all the world's cultures and creeds: Love for a well staged action setpiece, and hatred for the British ruling class.

Is it as bad as everyone says, or a forgotten gem? In a rare confluence of reality and trite aphorism, the truth may be somewhere in the middle.

Oh my god shut the fuck up!!!!!! I'm going to turn these goddamn screaming meme goats into curry I swear to god.

It's another demoralizing Marvel movie. You guys like these episodes huh? You like listening to us inflict great pain on ourselves? Well this one's a two hour Old Spice commercial that inexplicably costs $200 million and pisses away whatever good will Taika Waititi ever had. Wherein one of us takes very personal issue with bringing Natalie Portman back just to give her the cancer that makes you reconnect with your ex and Stu offers an armchair analysis of Mr. Waititi to explain why his movies are Like That.
