This week we are compiling an introductory guide to Japanese animated visual art AKA "Anime". We're deconstructing some misconceptions about the medium and providing our best picks as first ventures into this rich and wonderful artform. We'll also break down Netflix's exciting fall slate, talk about Matt Smith's weird face, and say good riddance to the most cynical show not on HBO, Mr. Robot. 

Did you know the directors of Moonlight, La La Land, and 12 Years a Slave all have new movies coming out this fall? Imagine what other movies you might not know about! As blockbuster season draws to a close, we are here to guide you from right now all the way to early Oscar season and posit some predictions on what will be better or worse than Transformers. We'll also talk about the new season of True Detective, lament the future of Bond, and argue about our favorite Coen brothers movie.

This week we take two of the most violent, crime-loving, celebrated directors in history and put them head-to-head in our very first "Director Showdown". Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino are both considered some of the greatest artists of our time but only one can emerge victorious. Join us this week as we compare the body of work of two visionary directors as well as backtrack on Star Trek, speculate on the next Bond, and mercilously mock the Oscar's new "popular" movie category.

In a world where no one had ever heard of superhero fatigue, Bryan Singer's X-Men films dared to be a new breed of comic book movie that were deeply ashamed of where they came from. But are they better than Transformers? Join us this week as we also discuss the future of the Terminator franchise, ridicule the new Venom trailer, and maintain an aggressive lack of interest in Star Trek.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout is the latest and most pulse-poundingly reckless attempt to fulfill Tom Cruise's on-screen death wish. But is it better than Transformers? Join us this week as we make our case for HBO's Hard Knocks, speculate on the new Game of Thrones spin-off, and come up with a way better story arc for the Star Wars anthology movies.

San Diego Comic-Con is the epicenter of all things nerdy in the world. It is here that major movie studios break the news of their biggest and most exciting projects in the pipeline to thousands of sweaty, awkward cosplayers. Join us this week as we break down DC's ambitious upcoming slate, fan-girl over new Clone Wars episodes, get hyped about monster fights, and just generally geek out over the biggest nerd convention on the planet.

Ant-man and the Wasp is the first Marvel movie since the last Avengers and it's smaller scale makes it a good reprieve from the heavier fare of Infinity War. But is it better than Transformers? Join us this week as we also discuss the new Fast & Furious spin-off, discover the Uncharted fan film, and commiserate about too many Joker movies.

Happy 4th of July everyone! We're celebrating Independence Day by exercising our first amendment right to bitch about what a garbage show Westworld turned into in its second season. Join us this week as we reveal the new Avengers title, revisit The Last Jedi, and discover that Tom Holland might be the perfect fit for a Back to the Future reboot.

Finally, a movie about well-behaved dinosaurs who stay in their cages and never cause trouble. LOL JK. This week we're doing Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Hollywood's fifth PSA that dinosaurs do not make good pets. But is it better than Transformers? We also discuss the new Creed trailer, the current state of Star Wars, and the least fatal Game of Thrones wedding yet.
