This week's Movie Date podcast explores the complexities of "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," the cultural implications of "The Host," the role of geometry in romantic entanglements, and the race of ninjas in ancient Japan. Along the way, Rafer and Kristen ask: What the hell is going on at this moment on screen? Is that a good guy or bad guy? And can I make out during this film?

Delayed by two days due to a nasty cold on Kristen's part, the podcast features lots of coughing and nose-blowing. Apologies to all for the phlegm and thanks for your patience!
