While Umer out of town, Tommy enlists the help of Will Latham, philosophy student extraordinaire to discuss Bo Burnham's Eighth Grade. Identity and the creation of it in relation to the film's excellent understanding of the ways we use social media is discussed, as is the care the Burnham has for his wonderful protagonist. It's gunna be lit...

The Code Geass Chronicles returns, with another jam packed episode smashing through five more episodes of the show. This week, the boys talk about a plethora of topics related to the show and not related to the show. Sounds like a pretty typical week for them in all honesty.

It's been fourteen years in the making! Well actually barely two, but everyone making the film wanted us to think that it was fourteen, so fourteen it is. Incredibles 2 is here, and guest Ysannah Avient-Lario jumps aboard to help straighten us out and keep us semi-on-track. Sit back, and enjoy!

You've all heard the stories, and very few of you have probably actually seen the movie, but that's okay because Solo: A Star Wars Story is here. Umer and Tommy discuss the film, and some of the fascinating production context surrounding the film in a jam packed and exciting episode. Han shot first.
