This week's Movie-Go-Round was originally going to bring you Legally Blonde - that's what you voted for on You Did This to Us. The Great Hard Drive Crash of 2018 came and went, though, and Legally Blonde looks like it was the last episode to get caught in the undertow. So, we dug back into the Geek Cinema Society Archive to remaster an episode and bring it to the Movie-Go-Round audience for one more week!

If you haven't ever listened to Geek Cinema, you can find it on all podcasting directories. This particular episode was an exploration of Starship Troopers. We picked this film to revisit here on Movie-Go-Round because it was a bizarre, often frustrating, absurd science-fiction flick that a guest inflicted upon us one week - very much in the spirit of You Did This to Us.

Next week, join us for New to Two and Nicole's pick, 1998's Out of Sight!

This week's episode of Movie-Go-Round is a special one! (In part, because a hard drive crashed and we had to get creative...) While we unfortunately lost our discussion of Suspiria, we decided to record some thoughts on the film again, which you will hear at the top of this program. After that, you'll be tuned into an episode of Geek Cinema Society, the first film program the three of us did together. This particular selection was our discussion of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. We picked this to align with the final entry of our Movie-Ghoul-Round month! Enjoy this throwback and be sure to find Geek Cinema Society: The Archive in your podcatcher to listen to dozens more blasts from the past just like this.

For our second Movie-Ghoul-Round episode, David got to choose a Future Classic, and his pick was 2012’s The Cabin in the Woods. Simultaneously a critique of and love letter to modern horror-movie tropes, this Drew Goddard/Joss Whedon joint featured a young Thor and host of fantastic character actors. Join Brett, David, and Nicole as they rhapsodize about Bradley Whitford, pick their favorite villains, and debate how much free will can be involved when people are forced to override their common sense.

Next week's episode is an Around the World pick! Nicole picked 1977's 'Suspiria.' Movie-Ghoul-Round continues! (Please bear in mind due to circumstances discussed at the top of this episode, 'Suspiria' may be substituted. We will update you on social media!)

You could call this Netflix Roulette horror movie by its name, Pay the Ghost, but you might as well call it “Pay Nic Cage’s Bills.” This tale of a vengeful ghost features missing children, CG vultures only a few steps up from Birdemic, at least three exposition dumps, and a sleepwalking Cage. Join Brett, David, Nicole, and guest Greg Tilton of Rumor Files and Jack of Trades as we discuss this movie and speculate if it was written by an artificial intelligence, a horror film cliché generator, or a pack of wild Celtic reconstructionalists.

Next week's episode is a Future Classic pick! David picked 2012's 'The Cabin in the Woods.' Join us for the second week of Movie-Ghoul-Round! Still spooky! Oh, so spooky!

To start our ninth go-round, Brett brought in a film that was New to Two (Nicole and David). His choice was an unconventional biopic by a filmmaker who began his career with a biopic of Karen Carpenter enacted with Barbie dolls. While Todd Haynes used actual humans in his portrait of Bob Dylan, he felt the need to use six of them in I'm Not There, to show the stark differences among the facets of the performer. How well was the music used in this movie? Did David and Nicole have a favorite "Dylan"? Should Christian Bale ever be allowed to have a perm again? (No.) Join us this episode for the discussion of these points and many more!

Next week's episode is a Netflix Roulette pick! The Netflix gods provided us with the Nic Cage film 'Pay the Ghost.' This episode will be the first of three Movie-Ghoul-Round haunted episodes in October! So spooky!

You Did This to Us. Again. You were super nice last time and we got complacent. Our hubris cost us, big-time. The needle swung way back to the other side on the quality indicator and we ended up watching The Emoji Movie.  Our guest, Bandrew Scott of the Bandrew Says podcast and YouTube channel Podcastage, was game AF and even played devil's advocate in favor of the movie, and in the end... well, you'll have to listen to find out! We debated this movie's lack of logic, the futility of the director trying to make it this generation's Toy Story, and why on this green Earth emojis would have parents. Or butts.

Next week's episode returns us to the beginning of a new Movie-Go-Round cycle! That means it's time for a new New to Two. Brett's pick this time? 'I'm Not There,' a Bob Dylan-themed biopic starring half a dozen Bob Dylans. Yeah, it's as bizarre as it sounds. Tune in then!

Brett made the pick for "Around the World" this time, and chose Robert Rodriguez's debut film, El Mariachi. This $7,200 movie was shot for the Mexican home video market, but Columbia Pictures picked it up for distribution and turned it into an indie hit. Brett, David, and Nicole dug into this homemade potluck dish, wondering if its technical quality hurts its longevity, what has become of its writer/director's career, and if it has the greatest possible ending, especially for its storyline and budget.

Next episode, also due out today due to our lateness, is a You Did This to Us! Your pick? The Emoji Movie. Why? Who hurt you?

For Future Classics this round, Nicole chose the 2008 film, WALL-E. Pixar pulled off two major feats with this movie: making mountains of garbage look beautiful, and making audiences empathize with a mobile trash compactor within a few minutes of the opening music. We picked through topics such as the influence of past sci-fi characters like E.T. and R2-D2, homage paid to major classic movies, and the old chestnut of what it means to be human and the question of if humanity is even necessary for a character to be multi-dimensional.

Next week is Around the World! Brett's pick? Robert Rodriguez's 'El Mariachi.'

This round's "Netflix Roulette" yielded an unexpected hidden gem: Memoir of a Murderer. In this movie, Byung-Soo grapples with the confusion of encroaching Alzheimer's, memories of his past as a Dexter-style serial murderer, and the threat of a newly emerged serial killer who's after Byung-soo's daughter. David, Brett, and Nicole had a good time dissecting this puzzle, discussing the symbolism of a bamboo grove, the anatomy of the human skull, and the crime-drama tropes this story fortunately avoids.

Next week is Future Classics! Nicole's pick? Pixar's WALL-E.

For this round’s New to Two pick, David chose a rather oddball film that came out just last year, Ingrid Goes West. Ingrid is ragingly insecure, tying her self-worth to how close she can get to people with “perfect” lives and how much of their approval she can earn. She does not take rejection well. While Nicole and Brett weren’t sure how much they liked the film, there was a lot of meat to dig into here, and we had some good, deep discussion about mental illness, the role of social media in our lives, and the value of Batman.

Next week is Netflix Roulette! The movie? Memoir of a Murderer. It actually looks good!
