Odds and Ends: Dr. Josh Matthews from the Learning About Movies channel on Youtube joins us this week; Moose watches a Die Hard, and the rest of us did our due diligence as moviegoers and had a Barbieheimer weekend

Feature Film: We're mad as hell for Sidney Lumet's "Network." Well, most of us are. The ones who are proper film critics and have the true, correct opinion on all movies. The other just has... their own opinion. Is that what being woke is? Am I now just like Howard Beale? I must speak my witness!

Next week's movie: Dark City (1998)

Odds and Ends: More Sound of Freedom bullshit; we sort of cover the Emmy noms; T.J. talks Tom; Nick started reading a weird book, and T.J. watched a weird short film

Feature Film: We discuss a record setting film in being bad, 2025 The World Enslaved by a Virus. Can you guess what it's about? Because it kind of isn't that, actually. But maybe it is. No one really knows. Not even the writers! That's what makes it... fun? Sure.

Next week’s movie: Network (1976)

Odds and Ends: Nick watches an old favorite and a newer non-favorite (it's fine); T.J. saw the new Indiana Jones, but really just wants to see Sound of Freedom

Feature Film: We talk about the Jackie Chan classic, Police Story. Full of crazy stunts, charming comedy, and many many many panes of broken glass. It's a pretty simple movie, so we go on a few tangents, but just go with it.

Next week’s movie: 2025: The World Enslaved by a Virus (2021)

Odds and Ends: We talk about Tears of the Kingdom before basically every episode now, but this time we kept it in! T.J. talks about the newest season of Black Mirror, as well as the real world equivalent he's been noticing; Nick got swept up in a new creepypasta, another Cormac McCarthy book, and a 90s classic (well, depending on who you ask)

Feature Film: The legendary Sunset Boulevard is our movie this week! And, well, despite recognizing it as the iconic movie it is and the place it has in film history... we just don't have much to say about it. Please don't hurt us.

Next week's movie: Police Story (1985)

Odds and Ends: The new Spider-Verse movie gets even more meta, maybe; Moose's lesbian movie weekend; Nick started another show you've probably heard a lot of people say is pretty good; T.J. watched one of the most exciting movies he's ever seen

Feature Film: We talk about The Favourite, a movie that's both cold and claustrophobic, as well as hot and... gay. Not in a bad way! In a... good way? The main characters are all gay. And that is okay. Wouldn't you say? I'm gonna go... away... now. Bye.

Next week's movie: Sunset Boulevard (1950)

Odds and Ends: We're joined this week by Cloe Oliver, T.J.s sister-in-law, but more importantly, one of the stars of our featured movie! The Beatles are releasing a "new" song with a little help from our friend AI; T.J. thinks Netflix is at least pretty good at doing one genre right; Moose enjoys the sporadic fantasy of Howl's Moving Castle; Nick thinks Blood Meridian is a neat book

Feature Film: We scrape the bottom of the barrel this week and talk about a local film that features a lot of martyrdom and CGI orbs. It's Dreamer! Er, Dreamer: The Movie! Cloe gives us some behind the scenes exclusives and Moose tells us about their past experience as a Christian filmmaker.

Odds and Ends: T.J.’s not racist, BUT…; one of our recent conspiracy theories may become reality sooner than expected; we talk about music and how cool we are for having record players

Feature Film: We all go cuckoo over the classic noir “The Third Man,” featuring babyfaced Orson Welles and a lot of Spongebob music.

Odds and Ends: It's our 100th episode (just in case you couldn't tell from the episode title), and to celebrate, we get a little bit silly, and later on play some Duds-centric trivia. Thanks for watching/listening, and here's to... at least a few more.

Feature Films: A trilogy by and about the granddaddy of dud cinema, Ed Wood! We talk about two very different movies of his (Glen or Glenda and Plan 9 from Outer Space) and have a very difficult time doing a proper judgement of one of them. To round it out, we also talk about Tim Burton's biopic about the man himself, which is called... Ed Wood. Nifty.

Next week's movie: The Nice Guys (2016)
