Almost 40 years in making, Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis is here! Although I don't think they told anyone it was coming out. We found our way to the theaters and to our mics to review the last film in our Grand Finale series. Did this divisive film work for us? Come back next week as we pick back up with the Joker with Joker: Folie a Deux!

David Lynch's incredible career in theatrical feature filmmaking seemingly came to an end in 2006 with the release of Inland Empire (yes, some consider Twin Peaks: The Return a film). His most experimental film to date, Empire is often listed as one of the most underrated films of all time, but did it work for us? Next week we wrap up our Grand Finale series with Francis Ford Coppola's new epic Megalopolis!

We're back with a quick extra review in our Grand Finale series with Alfred Hitchcock's second to last film, Frenzy. While the film is not often discussed with his earlier works, it does still fit with his major motifs, this time without the restrictions of the production code. But does this still equal a good film today? Come back next week for our review of David Lynch's last theatrical film, Inland Empire!

We begin our Grand Finale series leading to Megalopolis with one of the most peculiar films we have ever reviewed: Orson Welles' The Other Side of the Wind. Despite finishing shooting in 1976, the film was never released until 2018 long after the iconic director's death. Does the movie work on its own without the context of the production? We'll be back later in the week for a bonus review in this series, Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy!

The Juice is loose, running back to box office success! Tim Burton returns to one of his most famous films 36 years after its release for a legacy sequel that has been a hit with critics and audiences. But did it work for our hosts?

The Ghost with the Most has made his way to CTP! Brendan nerds out on a film he loves, Beetlejuice! But will the rest of the gang find the amusement Brendan does? Come back next week for our review of the sequel 36 years in the making, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Oops, said it three times!

Alien is back in theaters 7 years after the release of the second Ridley Scott prequel film, Alien: Covenant. This time, the franchise is turned over veteran horror filmmaker Fede Alvarez for Alien: Romulus. We also have Logan back for this episode! Despite mostly positive reactions, the film gets divisive among the hosts. Come back next week as we wrap up our Random Year picks series with Conor's 1936 choice, Secret Agent from Alfred Hitchcock (available on Tubi). Then after that we start our two weeks with Beetlejuice!

Leanin', Leanin', Leanin' on the everlastin' pod! We're back with week 2 of our Random Year picks for Ryan's 1955 selection, Charles Laughton's The Night of the Hunter. This film is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made, and the best film from a one-time filmmaker. Does Robert Mitchum's Harry Powell still scare audiences today? Come back next week as we pick back up our Alien series with the new film from Fede Alvarez, Alien: Romulus!

Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles star in Brendan's pick from 1949, The Third Man! Who is this mysterious fellow? Come back next week for Ryan's 1955 selection, The Night of the Hunter. And in two weeks, we return to theaters for Alien: Romulus!
