This week on The Binge, we revisit The Punisher — the 1989 Marvel action movie starring Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle, years before the MCU turned comic-book films into Hollywood's biggest genre.

We break down what works, what doesn't, and why this version of The Punisher has become one of Marvel's most forgotten movies. Plus, we discuss Lundgren's brutal take on Frank Castle, the missing skull logo, the movie's strange Yakuza storyline, its gritty '80s action style, and how it compares to the later Punisher films and shows.

This week on The Binge, we dig into Jackass: Best and Last — the final chapter in the Jackass franchise and a farewell to the original crew's decades-long run of painful stunts, disgusting pranks, and complete chaos.

We break down whether this final collection of footage works as a proper sendoff, what separates it from Jackass Forever, and whether there was still enough left in the tank for one last round. Plus, we discuss the legacy of Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Wee Man, Chris Pontius, and the rest of the crew, the moments that did not make the theatrical cut, and why Jackass has endured far longer than anyone probably expected.

This week on The Binge, we revisit Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa — the hidden-camera road comedy that somehow became the weirdest mainstream success of the Jackass franchise.

We break down what works, what doesn't, and whether Bad Grandpa succeeds as more than just another collection of gross-out pranks.

We break down what works, what doesn't, and whether Jackass 3D was actually the perfect use of the short-lived 3D movie craze.

Plus, we talk about the franchise evolving with bigger budgets, slow-motion stunt cinematography, the danger of escalating the chaos, and why these movies somehow became genuine theatrical events.

We break down what works, what doesn't, and whether this is secretly the peak of the entire Jackass franchise.

Plus, we talk about the escalation of the stunts, the friendship at the center of the chaos, the gross-out humor that pushed audiences to their limits, and why these movies weirdly became comfort viewing for an entire generation.

We break down what works, what doesn't, and whether Jackass still holds up in a completely different internet era.

Plus, we talk about MTV culture, Knoxville becoming an unlikely movie star, the franchise's influence on YouTube and modern creators, and why audiences connected so deeply with a bunch of idiots hurting themselves on camera.

This week on The Binge, we dive into The Mandalorian & Grogu — the latest chapter in Disney's biggest Star Wars success story.

We break down what works, what doesn't, and whether this movie captures the same magic that made The Mandalorian feel like a breath of fresh air for the franchise.

Plus, we talk about the western and samurai influences behind the series, Grogu's massive popularity, Pedro Pascal's role behind the helmet, and whether Star Wars still works best when the stories stay smaller and more personal.
