November 27, 2019 18. IT: Chapter 2 / Best "Three-quels" / Flashdance / The Last Dragon
Apparently everyone saw IT: CHAPTER 2 this past weekend. What did the guys think of it? Listen here to find out all the fun (or bland) details.

This PICK SIX segment revolves around the best "Three-quels" of all-time. Meaning the third installment in any franchise/trilogy or reboot. Yes, every time a new actor plays James Bond, we consider it a reboot.

80's high-concept themes permeate throughout this week's THROWBACK CHALLENGE! This makes Andy very happy! He'll rundown 1983's FLASHDANCE, while Noah tackles 1985's THE LAST DRAGON.

The boys are each enjoying an old-school craft beverage, Stone's Arrogant Bastard. Man, these things taste even better out of the pint can. Cheers!

The most recent listener-commissioned THROWBACK CHALLENGES are the coming-of-age comedy, NOW AND THEN (1995), and the wise New Zealand picture, WHALE RIDER (2003).

November 27, 2019 16. Where'd You Go, Bernadette / Good Boys / Best Road Trip Films / Mr. Mom / Sleepless in Seattle
It's always a reason for celebration when Richard Linklater releases a new movie, right? Well, maybe not this time. Noah has Five Good Questions for Andy regarding WHERE'D YOU GO, BERNADETTE.

Andy didn't really want to see GOOD BOYS, so Noah took a trip to see the newest comedy at the multiplex. Five Good Questions commence here.

As summer winds down, this is the best time to unveil a PICK SIX of the best Road Trip Movies of all-time. Lots of doozies on here.

The latest listener-commissioned THROWBACK CHALLENGE gives the guys the chance to revisit both MR. MOM and SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE. Needless to say, this was a fun conversation.

The beverage of choice from each host is Tiki Tango Kombucha Shandy by Centerpoint Brewing. Cheers!

November 27, 2019 12. Spiderman: Far From Home / Midsommar / Best Films of 1999 / Ratcatcher / The Insider
We delay the ceremonies of Episode 12 for just a few moments to discuss the surprise Thom Yorke/Paul Thomas Anderson Netlfix collaboration, ANIMA.

The big movie this week is SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME. Andy was a rather big fan of the last installment. Listen to see how this one stacks up.

Ari Aster made one of the biggest horror debuts of all-time just last year with HEREDITARY. Will his quick sophomore follow-up, MIDSOMMAR, make the grade? We'll fill you in.

For this PICK SIX segment, we took on the task of ranking our favorite films from 1999. It was tougher than anticipated.

Also pertaining to the year of 1999 are the films in this episode's THROWBACK CHALLENGE. Noah tossed Andy the directorial debut of Lynne Ramsay, RATCATCHER, then Andy counters with Michael Mann's THE INSIDER.

The boys are partaking in beers from Centerpoint Brewing this time around. Noah is drinking their Gold Kolsch and Andy is enjoying the hell out of Summer Sipper, a Kombucha-infused Berliner Weisse. Cheers!
