Don't cry that it's over, smile that it happened. Brian and Mark give a toast to Monthly Movies Weekly for the finale and discuss some of their favorite moments, the podcast origins, and chat about movies they've watched recently.

Star Wars Month comes to a close with Rogue One and Solo, The Star Wars Stories! Brian and Mark discuss how humor plays a big role in these chapters, as well as the inner conflict of both the Rebellion and the Empire. And agree that droids K2-SO and L3-37 steal the show with their motion capture performances. Plus our final thoughts on Star Wars, and an important announcement.

Star Wars Month continues onto the final part of the Skywalker Saga with the Sequel Trilogy: The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker.

Punch it Chewie! Star Wars Month continues this week as we go back to the beginning with The Original Trilogy. Mark and Brian praise the music, effects and performances. And question some the changes made in the Special Editions. Plus, we pick our favorite ships and try to remember the names of all those bounty hunters. The Force will be with you, always!

May the Fourth be with you all! A special May 4th episode rings in Star Wars Month. This week we cover the prequel trilogy. Mark and Brian lament the direction these movies take the franchise, discuss the cheesy line delivery and half baked characters, but compliment Amidala/Padme's fashion and the overall world building George Lucas manifests. Get ready to be taken to a galaxy far, far away!

Midde-Earth Month concludes with the Oscar sweeping epic, The Return of the King! Brian praises the opening scenes and can't stop singing the soundtrack. Mark deep-dived the special features for some behind the scenes stories. So hop on your horse (or warg) and prepare for the final battle! For Frodo.

Middle Earth Month continues with the second part of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Mark and Brian discuss the slowness of this extended edition and the locations of all the characters after the breaking of the fellowship, but both Brian and Mark agree that the final battle sequence still holds up after all this time. Listen to hear the rest of their thoughts!

Middle-Earth month sets out from Rivendell with The Fellowship of the Ring! The one that started it all! Mark and Brian marvel at the mix of practical and digital effects, and realize that they know the characters so well even when there are so many.
