Booksmart may be our feature this month, but we fly far beyond the high schools of LA, discussing westerns, easterns and — with special guest Zach Brooks — the best movies ever associated with the island country of Malta (31:00), from the neo-noir of Bogart to the star power of Maximus, Achilles, Bond, and of course, Popeye.

The May movies we recommend, besides Booksmart:

Classics Corner:

Avengers: Endgame is on track to become the biggest movie of all time, wrapping up a 22-film saga a dozen years—and nearly 20 billion dollars – in the making. To handle this mad titan, Will & Sammy are joined by Av Sinensky, the original 32 Fans movie pundit and an unabashed MCU superfan. And since this is 32 Fans, we aggregated 50 separate rankings of all 22 MCU movies, to compile the most authoritative MCU film ranking of all time.

The April movies we recommend (besides Avengers: Endgame):

The Mustang – Will; An Elephant Standing Still – Sammy (WARNING: 4+ hours, Chinese and bleak as hell)

Classics Corner:

Moon 2009 (Av); Catch Me If You Can 2002 (Will); Cannibal Holocaust 1980 (Sammy)

Will and Sammy discuss the movies they liked and disliked from the first three months of 2019 (8:30), with a special focus on High Flying Bird (31:20) and Us (43:00).

Let us know if you like it and if you want to hear more of this. Let us know if you have any comments or suggestions. Also let us know if you hate this and never want to hear it again.

And by the time you’re listening to this, Sammy finished the Boston Marathon and then flew across the world with 5 of his nephews. So congrats and thank you, Sammy!
