In preparation for the start of the summer movie season, Tim is joined by Brian and Caleb, who are all a little surprised to find that they're finally looking forward to some of the wide releases of 2025, after a wobbly first third of the calendar year. But before we get to the wild and thrilling spectacle of popcorn movie season, it's one of the most sober-minded movie roundtables we've ever held, as Caleb finally catches up with legendary grim war movie Come and See, while Brian learns all about the savage sexism of the indie film industry thanks to Chasing Chasing Amy. Tim, meanwhile has a pair of Patreon requests to talk about that are almost as fun: Freya Neeley has assigned him the paranoid anti-communist ravings of the vicious-hearted If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?, while CRD has given him the gaudy nightmare spectacle of Nazism consuming German culture in Luchino Visconti's The Damned. And stick around for Caleb's update on his game Let Us Build a Tower.

Tim apologizes for the odd fade-outs in the audio - something buggy happened with the recording, and he's trying to figure out how to make sure it doesn't happen again next time.
