Blackberry is a comedy that won't waste your minutes.

Dave and Michael tackle the outrageous world of "Renfield," a film that follows the comical journey of Dracula's henchman as he tries to break free from what has been reframed in modern terms as a toxic codependent relationship with the notorious Count. Nicolas Cage delivers a full-Cage performance as Dracula. Renfeild offers a feast of side-splitting humor, sometimes literal side-splitting, great performances, and great entertainment that is worth going to a theater to see.

Dave and Michael recommend five movies from 2022 that you shouldn't miss. We discuss why we chose these and why they scream, "2022." We abuse the word "zeitgeist" for your enjoyment.

They are

5. RRR

4. The Batman

3. The Banshees of Inisherin

2. Everything Everywhere All at Once

1. Tar

A special guest joins the guys for a very serious discussion of WEIRD, a hard-hitting biopic on the late "Weird" Al Yankovic.

The modern zeitgeist seems destined to waver between despair and daring to hope, and "Everything Everywhere All at Once" perfectly dissects that phenomenon. How it does that is our thematic discussion for this excellent film.
