Incredibles 2 is the smash hit sequel to Disney's original animated smash hit about a superpowered family and their stylish, fun, action-packed adventures together.

But listen in for our commentary anyway and we'll also reward you with some details on what DC films have been up to lately, speculate wildly about the new Jurassic World movie, and come up with a better version of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

Ocean's 8 is the female-led sequel in the franchise that proves that crime does pay and that jewelry theft is super duper cool when good-looking Hollywood stars do it. But is it better than Transformers? Join us this week as we break down a bunch of recent trailers, dig into some upcoming Game of Thrones prequels, and discuss why Coco is really disturbing for a kids movie.

A prequel is a movie that comes after another movie but also happens before that movie somehow? It's like time travel but for lazy, uncreative screenwriters. Yet from this pool of mediocrity, some truly notable films and TV shows occasionally emerge. This week we break down some of the highlights of the art form and work our way down to the lowlights. We also finally get to hear Christian's take on Alex Garland's Annihilation and entirely forget to compare anything at all to Michael Bay's Transformers. 

Solo takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away as we follow the early chronicles and misadventures of the most charming scoundrel in the Star Wars universe (or any universe for that matter). It's an origin movie filled with heists, colorful characters, and a lot of fan service. But is it better than Transformers? Join us this week as we discuss why Boba Fett is overrated, forget who David Lynch is, and generally agree that Kingdom Hearts is the greatest game ever made.

Deadpool 2 is a highly anticipated superhero sequel following the meta-humored meta-human Wade Wilson on his profanity and violence filled adventures that also contain a surprising amount of heart. But is it better than Transformers? Join us this week as we also break down some new trailers, discuss Jake Gyllenhaal's casting as Mysterio, and delve into why Westworld seaon 2 sucks.

Deadpool is about a wise-cracking, dick-joke-making, fourth-wall-breaking, super-powered mercenary named Wade Wilson who uses guns, swords and testicle humor to solve his problems. It was a smashing Valentine's Day success from 2016 and spawned a hotly anticipated sequel due out this week. But is it better than Transformers? Join us this week as we discuss which network shows got the axe, Jordan Peele's newest project, and how Deadpool stacks up against the most mediocre movie ever made.

Summer blockbuster season is upon us and we're here to be your guide. Join us this week as we cover some summer releases of interest and let you know whether any of them are worth your time. We also discuss some recent Hollywood news, find out what all the Lost actors are doing now, and definitively say crown a king among the National Lampoon Vacation franchise.

It's finally here! Avengers: Infinity War is blowing the doors off cinemas worldwide and has serious implications on the fate of the Marvel Universe. But is it better than Transformers? Join us this week as we break down what worked and what didn't in this big-budget, comic book epic. We also cover some recent movie news and find out that Christian has very strong feelings about the National Lampoon Vacation series. For the spoiler-wary among us, timecodes are listed below:

The Phase 3 Marvel films represent the culmination of years of universe building and are some of the most financially successful movies of all time. But are they better than Transformers? Join us this week as we venture through the most recent (and best) Marvel films and bring you up to speed on what you need to know before Infinity War comes out this weekend. Also, look out for a special release this Friday where we will settle, once and for all, whether Avengers: Infinity War is better or worse than Transformers.
