2 very exciting anniversaries this week: the 50th episode of RCR, and the 25th Bond film. Jackson and Carter celebrate the occasion and are joined by their suave James Bond aficionado, Matt Moore. The boys discuss the previous iterations and films in the James Bond canon and how the character has evolved over nearly 60 years on screen to Daniel Craig's revolutionary take on 007. In addition, the gang reviews Craig's swan song as Bond in No Time to Die, speculates the future of the character, and recast/pitch a future Bond movie.

We are your guide through these vast new realities. Jackson and Carter are back to talk about the wackiness that is Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and the highs and lows of Marvel's What If...? series. The boys discuss the strange choices made in the new Venom film, what that wild post credits scene means, what they liked and didn't like about What If...?, and their own respective 'what if' scenarios in the MCU and other movies.

Keep your hands off my lobby boy! In anticipation of The French Dispatch release this month, Carter and Jackson sit down to discuss the filmography of writer/director Wes Anderson.

The boys give their own revisionist nominations for the major categories and give their takes on who was deserving, who was rightfully rewarded, and who was snubbed. Listen for rants surrounding the manipulation of Green Book, the lack of respect for Bo Burnham, and Rami Malek's ability to wear bucked teeth and win an Oscar.

The boys discuss the impact this film is having, both culturally as well as cinematically, and review all of the great things this new superhero film has to offer.

It's the podcast the world deserves, but not the one it needs right now...just kidding, you need it. Carter's birthday was this past week, and Jackson returned the favor of letting Carter talk about whatever he wanted. Jackson and Carter sit down to discuss Christopher Nolan's acclaimed Batman sequel, The Dark Knight. Listen as the boys discuss why this film means so much to them, its impact on how movies were made and consumed for the past decade, and their favorite performances and scenes. Also, listen to Carter hop on a soap box to try and put into words why it is his personal favorite movie of all time.

In a world full of reboots and sequels, who's ready to reboot the most successful movie franchise of all time already?
