James Gunn's The Suicide Squad is gloriously gross, from King Shark nomming on heads to Starro's big bloody eyeball. But is it so gross that is wrecks our appetite for popcorn? What do you eat with a gory romp? To answer that question, Dave and Jonah are dining in with Mr. Slice, Mike Mitchell, and the Burger Boy himself, Nick Wiger, of the Dougboys podcast.

Suicide Squad | Hard-R movie food pairings with The Doughboys

Journey into the unknown with Galaxy Brains — the most immersive, hilarious TV and movie podcast on this planet (or any other). Mystery Science Theater 3000's Jonah Ray and his pal, comedian and writer Dave Schilling, explore the outer reaches of the zeitgeist, analyzing the movies and TV shows that you can't stop obsessing over. Each week, we lab-test the hottest take possible — from Dom Toretto being an actual angel sent from Heaven, to the entirety of Seinfeld taking place inside Jerry's mind — and bring on comedians, experts, and filmmakers to confirm or deny our outrageous hypothesis.

Death Becomes Her | a campy satire of Hollywood beauty standards.

We're going into transwarp speed with a Star Trek extravaganza dedicated to the 25th anniversary of one of the best Trek movies of all time, First Contact. A film that is so much more than Borgs, drunk pilots, and Patrick Stewart's jacked arms- it's also a meta tale about the creation of the iconic franchise. Joining Dave and Jonah where no man has gone before is comedian and fellow Trekkie, John Hodgman.
