May 17, 2017 Ep. 38: Guardians of the Galaxy 2: Is the Franchise Staying in Orbit?
Guardians of the Galaxy is a favorite amongst Marvel fans for its fun characters, notable comic departure in tone, and memorable mixtape soundtrack- but some are higher on it than others. Mark and Quentin weigh in on how good Volume 2 was while debating what worked and what didn't.

April 25, 2017 Ep. 36: Reservoir Dogs: The Genius of Quentin Tarantino
Like him or loathe him, Tarantino is one of the most acclaimed directors working today and he launched his career in epic fashion with his debut 'Reservoir Dogs.' What sets his work apart? It certainly isn't originality. It is his slick style and brilliant screenwriting- and in spite of having next to no budget, 'Reservoir Dogs' is an absolute classic, since all it needed was Tarantino's touch.

April 04, 2017 Ep. 33: Terminator: The Rise of James Cameron
As the fledgling Terminator franchise continues to stumble, we wonder why these movies seem so creatively bankrupt, and to do so, we look back to when Terminator was synonymous with "Smart," "Cool," and "James Cameron."

March 28, 2017 Ep. 32: Logan: An X-Men Evolution
'Logan' is an unsettling film and perhaps one of the great comic book adaptations in modern cinema. It is gritty, focused, unrelenting, and a marvelous deconstruction of so many tropes we have seen in super hero movies. We discuss the state of the X-Men franchise and breakdown why this movie works so well.
