You've survived the prequels and found out how awesome they are so now it's time to get into the 'story' Star Wars movies by looking closer at the most recent of all the films, Solo: A Star Wars Story. Is this movie criminally underrated? Was this movie even necessary? Should it have killed off all the other 'story' movies that Disney had planned? Has our opinion changed on Alden Ehrenreich at all? Can Ben actually say Alden Ehrenerich's name properly for once? Why does this movie not escape it's production criticism unlike Rogue One? Is 'moof milker' too racist to mention on air? Do we love the introduction of Han and Chewbacca? Why does this movie introduce the Empire in a better way then any other movie? How great is Thandie Newton and is she wasted in this movie? How great is Paul Bettany? Which side of the bed would Colin get into if he caught Jamie with Paul Bettany and Jimmy Smits? Do we like Donald Glover as Lando or is he a tad overrated? Is L3 the worst character in the history of Star Wars? How great is Clint Howard in this movie? Is the coaxium stealing sequence just a little too easy for our heroes? Is the Kessel Run scene incredibly underrated in how awesome it is? Are there some very underrated lines in this movie that need more credit? Do we like the closing scenes in this movie even though they don't have a whole lot of action? Do we appreciate that Han shoots first at the end? And how incredible still is that Darth Maul cameo? There's a lot to get to and a lot to decode in a shorter episode than you're used to in the last few weeks so get to it and get entertained!

We wrap up our Random Rewatch series of Halloween recaps with a special 20th anniversary look at the experimental found footage film that started genre The Blair Witch Project. How unheard of was it in 1999 for a super low budget movie filmed without a crew to make hundreds of millions of dollars? Why are Heather and Mike the ones who screw everything up and Josh is the only one who suffers? What crazy tactics did the filmmakers use to make this movie come out the way it did? Why is Heather's obsession with shoving a camera in someone's face the most interesting part of this movie? Where's the car? What was that? Where are you Josh? So many questions, and somehow we manage to answer them all in record time. Pull yourself out of that corner long enough to hit the download link.

It's time to close out our look at the Terminator franchise in the lead up to Terminator Dark Fate as we recap the most divisive film of the entire series, Terminator Genisys from 2015. Will Ben & Colin last the whole length of this film? Does this movie suffer the Game of Thrones cast curse? Does the entire cast just suck and give some of their worst performances of their career, or is that just Jai Courtney? Why does Hollywood still try to make Jai Courtney a thing? Is Jai Courtney the worst Australian actor ever? Is Jai Courtney the new Taylor Kitsch? Why do we have to keep talking about Jai Courtney? Does this movie actually start off really well and ruin what could've been an interesting premise? Why didn't they try and get Robert Patrick back for a cameo? Why is the humour in this movie the worst in franchise? Why do we miss Michael Biehn? How many plot holes can we find through this entire film? What is the purpose of JK Simmons in this movie? Why have the producers of this movie found another reason to destroy the legacy of John Connor? Why are people so excited for an operating system? How can we recap the final hour in less than 10 minutes? And seriously, why does this movie suck so much? It's a stretch to get through, but at least we're a week away from Dark Fate right?
