This week, we're talking guts, gore, and Deadite fun with Lee Cronin's Evil Dead Rise. The latest installment of the Evil Dead franchise that originated with Sam Raimi's highly-regarded trilogy from 1981 to 1992, this new film transplants the cabin in the woods terror to a condemned LA high-rise. We run through our rankings of the series and the nasty surprises the new film has in store. Come get some.

This week, we discuss the indie drama-slash-thriller How to Blow Up a Pipeline. The surprise hit out of last year's Toronto Film Festival, Daniel Goldhaber's gutsy call to action about sabotage in the face of impending climate disaster finds a gripping, procedural heist within its incendiary message. But before we dive into the film we answer some listener mail, as we parse through our feelings about Netflix's Beef in the wake of the David Choe scandal.

Road rage comes to Netflix in Lee Sung Jin's dark comedy, Beef. Starring Steven Yeun, Ali Wong, Young Mazino, Joseph Lee, and David Choe, the ten-episode series revolves around a down-on-his-luck contractor and a wealthy entrepreneur whose traffic run-in escalates into dangerous obsession. We talk about the series' mostly Asian cast, the pitfalls of representation, and the harmful Netflix binge model.

We give the rundown.

This week, we wrap up our coverage of the first season of HBO's "The Last of Us." We run down its explosive final set piece, its cannibal-fueled lead-up, and recap all the things we loved - and didn't love - about this inaugural season.

Michael B. Jordan makes his directorial debut with the highly-anticipated "Creed III," the ninth installment of the "Rocky" franchise.

Our journey through "The Last of Us" continues with our penultimate recap of the season, covering episodes 6 and 7, titled "Kin" and "Left Behind." A brief detour in Jackson, Wyoming leads to another devastating flashback, this time focusing on Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and her tragic past.
