Jordan and Brooke are joined by Trevor Howell (The Old Kids Movies) to discuss 2017's superhero film and 90 minute advertisement that is actually...a masterpiece? Marvel at just how much Batman/Joker content makes it on-screen, rom-com undertones, Batfamily wholesomeness, and the IP craze done right for once. Plus there's a tangent on "A Master Builder," because of course there is.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by writer Brianna Zigler to discuss 2007's hyper masc, hyper CGI, blockbuster extravaganza. How is one film simultaneously so gay and so homophobic? What's up with all the narration? Is Lena Headey just cosplaying Keira Knightly in this? And how do we get our hands on Zack Snyder's supposed secret Alexander the Great script?

It's a mega-sized ep for a mega-sized movie as Jordan and Brooke are joined by filmmaker Patrick Willems to discuss Michael Mann's 1995 cops and robbers epic. There's a deep bench of character actors, a thesis on the aching loneliness of LA, and an argument that this movie is secretly a gay rom-com (Letterboxd agrees). Plus tangents on everything from Shane Black vehicles, to camera equipment tech talk, to the 2001 film "Swordfish".
