This week, we were joined for the second time by "The Listener": Carolina. We watched Splash (Ron Howard, 1984), Quiz Show (Robert Redford, 1994), and Won't You Be My Neighbor (Morgan Neville, 2018). Stay tuned for an "Off the Menu" portion that we're deeply wondering if anyone is listening to.

This week was all about a little concept we like to call "Dirty Lasers." We discussed Return of the Jedi (Richard Marquand, 1983), It Follows (David Robert Mitchell, 2014), and Solaris (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1972). Stick around for Off the Menu.

This week, we welcomed our good pal Josh down into our dank basement of self awareness. Josh specifically pointed out that he does NOT listen to The Dungeon, so this is the first time we've had a guest on who is NOT a listener. Pretty cool. We watched three "Youthful Chubs" from Josh's childhood: Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975), Mr. Mom (Stan Dragoti, 1983), and Superman II (Richard Lester, 1980). Including a very special "Off the Menu" bonus section.

This week, we welcomed a new guest, Jacob, to discuss The Kindergarten Teacher (Sara Colangelo, 2018) and Halloween III: Season of the Witch (Tommy Lee Wallace, 1982). We also rewatched Amat Escalante's 2016 masterpiece, The Untamed, for good measure. We went way off the menu this week, friends. Way off.

Though we completely forgot to mention it, this was our 100th episode! So it's fitting that we welcomed our most frequent guest, Natalie, to discuss Enemy Mine (Wolfgang Petersen, 1985), The Martian (Ridley Scott, 2015), and Solaris (Steven Soderbergh, 2002). One important question: who do we like to see in space?

This we, we welcomed a new guest: listener Mike! The four of us discussed Heat yet again (Michael Mann, 1995), and to that stew we added Sicario (Denis Villeneuve, 2015) and Cobra (George P. Cosmatos, 1986). Stick around for a special Off the Menu suggestion in which Mike has one of the best answers ever to the question, "Who are you handing it to?"
