 In this episode, Marty gives Clif the movie American Fiction to watch and Clif gives Marty the movie Weapons to watch. 

First up, Marty and Clif break down Weapons (2025). A bizarre and polarizing horror film where an entire class of kids disappears at the exact same moment… except one. Is it smart, experimental storytelling or completely off the rails? They dig into the nonlinear structure, tone shifts, and why audiences are so divided on this one.

Next, Marty and Clif jump into American Fiction, a sharp, satirical film that sparks a deeper conversation about storytelling, perception, and what audiences actually respond to.
