The Attempted Topics crew is back to talk about the criminally underrated and wrongfully marketed 2020 film, The Empty Man.

Jeremy talks about how The Empty Man is his favorite film from 2020 and gives some insight on how the studio wrongfully treated David Prior's passion project after spending 3 years in development hell. And Steven fights through the flu to tell us his what he thinks after his first viewing. The guys also try to figure out if James was born 3 days ago or if he was chosen by the cult. And did this movie deserve sequels?

Attempted Topics encourages everyone to pay for The Empty Man in any way you can. Whether you buy it on a streaming service or pay for the disc at Red Box.

In this episode the Attempted Topics crew discusses the 2021 film Zack Snyder's Justice League that became official because of hashtags and cyberbullying. 

Jeremy gives his thoughts on the "Release the Snyder Cut" movement, the major improvement Steppenwolf received in this version of Justice League, and talks about where he hopes the future of DC films will go. Steven talks about his love for the Cyborg storyline and his hatred for Joss Whedon. Is the Snyder cut better than the Whedon version? Do we miss the jokes that Joss Whedon threw into the 2017 Justice League? And is Ben Affleck the best Batman? We talk about it all.

Happy Valentine's Day from Attempted Topics! We know we said we'd discuss King Kong vs. Godzilla next, but we couldn't pass up Valentine's Day without discussing the great 1981 slasher film My Bloody Valentine. 

This was Jeremy's first time seeing this film so he gives his first impressions and questions why all of these adults are so excited about a Valentine's Day dance, and Steven gives a different perspective and tells us if the movie holds up after you already know the twist ending and talks about how the entire town deserves to die because they boil hot dogs. Also why does an adult act like snorting Coca Cola is funny? 

In episode 16 the Attempted Topics crew discusses the 2017 Blumhouse film Happy Death Day.

Jeremy discusses Blumhouse's genius strategy of creating cheap movies that easily make a ton of profit, and how he went from being cautiously optimistic about Happy Death Day to really liking it. And Steven talks about his love for both Happy Death Day and it's sequel, and he confuses the days a lot because the movie just repeats the same thing over and over (but it somehow works).
