- Cop Land
Join the Boyz and take a trip to a peaceful little town called Garrison, New Jersey for COP LAND! The Gorgeous Lads of Podcasting launch Noirvember with a look back at James Mangold's 1997 drama, starring Sylvester Stallone and about 100 well-known film and television stars. They're breaking down Stallone's physical transformation, why this role came at a crucial career point, sharing screen time with the likes of Robert DeNiro, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta and Robert Patrick, and the could-have-beens for Sly's late-90s career. Plus, New Jersey tough guys, "COP LAND" being two separate words, the return of Kurt's Korner, Tek War, and remembrances for the late Robert Evans and Robert Forster!
Being right isn't a bulletproof vest, Freddy... It's COP LAND!

- Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
The Fright Festival continues at ReconCinema Studios and the Boyz tackle the sci-fi hit INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978). They examine the 1950s original take on identity and Communism and the shift to the 70s' political spectrum for the updated version. The debate is on if it's a sequel or remake, the return of Donald Sutherland, Veronica Cartwright and, of course, The Total Package Jeff Goldblum to the podcast, how Jon and David would try to survive a global invasion, and one of the greatest movie cameos of all time!
