For a little breather before our episodes on Thor, mythos, and our need for story, here's our first official REJECTED, a descent into chaos...it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Note: The animation festival Andromeda refers to when introducing the Don Hertzfeldt clips was called The Animation Show [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372763/] in its debut year (2003).

Heather and I continue our 2-part Halloween episode with our favorite picks for our favorite time of year. It's Halloween 2: Electric Boogaloo!...with absolutely no boogaloo to be found anywhere.

It's speculation time as Heather and Andromeda try something new...introducing "The Forecast"! In this occasional segment, we'll be looking at upcoming movies, TV series, and more to talk about why we're excited for them and what we think will happen. (This will be even less regular and more unscripted than our regularly scheduled scriptless program!)

So, sit back and listen to us spew fan theory after theory about Spider-Man: No Way Home and Matrix: Resurrections. We'll also talk about the MCU What If...? series and more in this week's Current Fixations. Enjoy!

In the final episode of The Cornetto Trilogy series, we get heavily into the mathematics of the pub crawl, conforming to society, and the best and worst trait of humanity.

In the second installment of The Cornetto Trilogy series, we discuss how to find your inner child, play, and make the mundane magnificent.

We start off our take on The Cornetto Trilogy by talking about how to smuggle a relationship story into a genre movie, how to grow up without losing who we are, the nature of the redemption arc, and how a single episode became one of the best zombie movies of all time.

We talk about the toxicity of nationalism, earning the shield, and why Nicque Marina is a goddess. Praise her! (in the links below!)
