Daddy’s home! This week the boys are joined by the head honcho himself, Marcelo J Pico (@MarceloJPico) to discuss a headache-inducing Direct to DVD Seagal flick that may or may not involve aliens. James and Dylan ask the hard questions, like: “Why do you keep letting us get away with it?”. Conversely, Marcelo asks them the even harder question: “What is Steven Seagal’s worst crime?” Plus, the IMDB Trivia bit has to be half-heartedly justified again!

James and Dylan welcome actual-podcaster and host of Monsters Never Die Matt Curione (@TheRealMattC) to discuss a real world monster: Steven Seagal. This week, Academy Award nominee Imelda Staunton gives some bizarre credibility to an otherwise standard throat-ripper from Seagal, but makes us wonder: Were these two ever in the same room? Also, someone brings the hammer down with arguably the harshest sentence yet, and IMDB Trivia is ripped from our good boys’ hands.

Hello, romantics! Your host Manish (@TheManish89) and guest Ben Miller (@NebIsBen) go into Pedro Almodóvar's kinky, lurid Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!. They analyze the toxic plot elements, enigmatic performances, and the vibrancy of the Spanish filmmaker's work. Starring Antonio Banderas and Victoria Abril, this is one messy romcom!

James and Dylan admit they’re struggling and start calling in back-up. This week, the non-Sopranos actor Will Janowitz comes in to lend a helping hand and guide our weary boys through the unintelligible nonsense of Mercenary for Justice. The French Ambassador gets kidnapped, Steven Seagal gives swirlies, and for some reason the hero and the bad guy just have the same first name? It’s the kind of move you need to see to believe, so luckily Steve ‘N Destroy is here to see it for you!

The TFS100 series begins. This summer, Marcelo will be talking to a guest each week about their personal top 25 films of all time. First up, Greg Mucci (@ReelBrew) talks about his top 25.
