The Summer of Postscript continues as the fellas journey to everyone's favorite honeymoon spot, The Grid. In honor of Joseph Kosinski's F1, we take another look at Kosinski's debut, Tron: Legacy. After discussing what we felt was an exemplary legacy sequel last week in T2 Trainspotting, we examine one of the first proper legacy sequels of the 2010s, coming over half a decade before the wave that later came. Was this movie far more influential that we've given it credit? Does this movie actually have juice, or is that our fifth grade nostalgia speaking? How do you appraise the value of aura and hype moments in the year 2025? Are Chris Pine fans being properly fed? Come get digitized with us.

The Summer of Postscript has begun! With the release of the audacious 28 Years Later in June, we are kicking off this miniseries by heading back to Edinburgh with the Rosilio brothers to examine Danny Boyle's T2 Trainspotting. How did a sequel to the first Trainspotting even come to be? How does this film fare as a legacy sequel? Why does this movie handle nostalgia better than almost all of contemporaries? Is Danny Boyle the best digital filmmaker alive? Come join us as we begin our farewell to summer.

To merely label this as a podcast episode about the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War would be both misrepresentative and deeply reductive of what these three and a half (3.5) hours hold. What once started as a bit to unethically force our dear friend Chance Freytag to rewatch Civil War and watch the newest MCU entry, Captain America: Brave New World, with us evolved into something much grander. From Moby Dick to Stalker (1979, dir. Tarkovsky) to what a movie actually is and the impact it can have on someone’s life, this episode is a sprawling piece of introspection and personal reckoning for Chris, Mateo, and Chance. This episode has more in common with an average telehealth appointment than a typical recorded MCU discussion. This release of this film was a pivotal moment in the moviegoing careers of all three of the fellas, and they reflect on everything that has transpired in the industry and their lives in film since. You don’t have to have even seen the film to listen to the pre watch to this ep (clocking in at ~1.5hr itself). Come join us.

To continue the trend of covering this year's Oscar-nominated directors' previous features, Mateo, Chris, and Seb take a trip with Mikey Saber down to Galveston, TX to watch Sean Baker's (surprisngly underseen) Red Rocket. How does this one compare to Anora, which has now emerged as the clear frontrunner in the race? Why did people latch onto Anora but not Red Rocket? Was Simon Rex snubbed? Join us!

With The Brutalist announcing itself as one of the films to beat this awards season, we examine director Brady Corbet's previous feature film, Vox Lux from 2018, starring Natalie Portman. To set the table for this relatively underseen movie, we thoroughly discuss the production, context, and intention of the film (2:03) before all watching it for the first time ourselves (35:17). Did Corbet always have the juice? How does this film function as a companion piece to another 2018 entry with a similar setting, A Star is Born? Why isn't Jude Law in every single movie? Come watch this movie with us!

Mateo and Chris kick off the New Year by looking back at 2024 and assessing which released films are most likely to warrant an episode on the podcast 3+ years from now. What films will people sour on? What films will rise in our estimation? Did we miss any movies?

The fellas load up on sunscreen as they take a trip directly into the sun to shine some light on Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's hugely underseen space film, Sunshine. Chris shares some lore on the production and botched release of the film, detailing why this movie fell so hard through the cracks before Mateo and Seb both watch it for the first time. Is this a true buried classic of 21st century sci-fi?

Space Month continues as the boys gear up to go to the Moon. They are joined by their pal Riley to revisit what is perhaps Damien Chazelle's truly most underappreciated film, First Man from 2018. The fellas discuss how this movie fits into Chazelle's filmography, what makes it special, and why it ultimately wasn't a hit.

SPACE MONTH BEGINS with James Gray's divisive Ad Astra from 2019. Mateo and Chris are joined by returning guests Nick and Nikki on their voyage to Neptune. They discuss the reception and slightly troubled production of the film and why it deserves to be revisited before re-evaluating it themselves. Is this actually one of the most beautiful films of its decade? Would it have been a bigger hit in a different release year? Should one of the space monkeys be on Dancing with the Stars? All is discussed.

In honor of the release of Gladiator II, the boys travel to the Holy Land to experience the acclaimed director's cut of Ridley Scott's once-panned 2005 Crusade epic, Kingdom of Heaven. Is this the most substantial director's cut ever? Would this have been a hit if the theatrical cut wasn't so compromised? Is this actually one of Ridley's best movies? All is discussed.
