Host Mike Burdge once again teams up with Jeremy Kolodziejski and Brian Castellano to talk dat STAR WAR. This time they dive into the much debated 8th Episode of the main series, THE LAST JEDI, commenting on what works and doesn't, what fandom does to cinematic experience, and why there really was nowhere else for Luke Skywalker to land in this updated expansion of these old school characters. Let's dig in....

Your host (Bernadette) gets together with nerds (Jack and Robby) and a vegan (Stamper) to talk about the first season of the ABSOLUTELY AWESOME FX show, LEGION. With a show this dense and intelligent, how does a group hope to discuss it at length without going over 2 hours? The answer is, they don't. Jump in and get ready for a head trip.

Our book to film club returns with the Madeleine L'Engle classic, A WRINKLE IN TIME, and the Ava Duvernay adaptation that dropped earlier this year to mixed but mostly positive reviews. Diana DiMuro is joined by her sister, Jesse Sherman, and Mike Burdge to discuss the book and the film, as well as everything in between.

Robby sits down with returning guests Mike Burdge and Diana DiMuro, as well as newcomer Damian Masterson, to discuss the new Spielberg tentpole extravaganza, READY PLAYER ONE. From casual observations on favorite moments, to the deafening difference between book and film, all the way to cold slapping people who don't know how to shut up and just have a fun time with a movie about going into a virtual reality world to play video games. Feast your ears on a discussion revolving around a movie that has been labeled as many as "FINE."

Jack and Jeremy pull on that ol' pair of Kolodziejski Horror Pants with a trip out to see the tiny flick that made it big, A QUIET PLACE, where the scariest thing just might be sitting next to someone with popcorn.

The end arrives. Earth's Mightiest Hot Takers, Jack and Robby, team up with the Overdrinkers of the Galaxy, Diana and Mike, to discuss the recently released culminating installment to the MCU, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. Who dies? Who lives? And what will be left of them? And is UNBREAKABLE really that bad, Jack? I think we need to sit down and watch this movie. It's probably aged very well, given the change in the cinematic superhero landscape of the 15+ years following its release. Sorry. I just don't know what else to type in the description of a movie you really want to keep your lips sealed about. Man, I could use some shawarma...

Mike and Diana DiMuro tackle the latest slew of Marvel films, including ANT-MAN, CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, DOCTOR STRANGE, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING, THOR: RAGNAROK and BLACK PANTHER, including a brief discussion on the soon to be released AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. Get your review on before taking your seat in the theaters to catch one of the biggest cinematic events of the 21st century. We hope it's very, very good, too.

Mike is joined by Robert Anderson to talk about the most original series about a bunch of A-holes to come out of the MCU so far, as well as its strangely specific connections to Mike's own life and paternal past. Spoilers for both GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2.

Robby, Jack and Bernadette went to check out the new Wes Anderson stop-motion joint, ISLE OF DOGS. It's fun, whacky, well-made and has a lot of heart. But does it stand up to Robert "BaeBae" Anderson's unrelenting comparison to his sweet love, 2009's FANTASTIC MR. FOX? Listen on, dear cinephile, and discover the answers....

Mike, Bernadette, Jack, Diana and Robby get together in celebration of their 100th episode! To commemorate the milestone, they all discuss some of their favorite films of all time, while also actively attempting to guess each others around the table. This is an insanely fun one, you guys! YIPPIE!!!
