This is a Richard Jenkins zone. Please enter the Richard Jenkins zone if you would like more Richard Jenkins. His first main role in a feature is a film about an old Scrooge letting some illegal immigrants into his life. Michael and Abe talk about how the film navigates the white savior complex, how chill the ensemble is, and how Jenkins probably has a premium hog.

Michael and Abe discuss one of the late 90s films about unreality. But this one has a bone gun. And Bilbo holds it at one point. Does that make it better than The Matrix? No. But it does make for a fun conversation brought to you by Pick the Flick’s Doctor Slaphammer! Thanks, Doc!

Michael and Abe discuss the recent Ice Cube vehicle, War of the Worlds. A screenlife movie where Cube saves the planet from the safety of his Amazon-brand life pod, using corporations to save humanity. It’s recently gone viral for being terrible, so we figured we’d go for that sweet viral money.

Sarah and Bridgett discuss how the fears of adults and the fears of children are different (and the same). How we can reason our ways out of things and how irrational fears persist. Also, how children do not fear death and that means we should fear them.
