Sponsored by Jif Peanut Butter (please?) - Matt and Gabe get back into movies made in 2020 with the "hit" Netflix movie "The Old Guard" starring Dudley Dursley from Harry Potter with some other somewhat famous international stars. Topics include how awesome Rutger Hauer is/was, Sly Stallone's steroid-enhanced Ego and his drag sensibilities, the odd style choices of Julie Taymore (and how they sometimes work), Vincent D'Onofrio's voice, the qualities of a biopic, the Under the Wheels version of a Harriet Tubman biopic, Brian Tyree Henry, Matt Damon through the years, poor execution of moral quandries, the makeup of good villains (and really lazy ones), a few of Gabe's rules for Action Scenes, multiple mentions of Rhiz Ahmed, the horrible new trend in movie soundtracks (not score), and answer some viewer questions!

Matt and Gabe share the dream with special guest Mike and discuss Christopher Nolan's Inception. Topics include too much Star Wars in an episode that should not have any Star Wars, the tenants of a Christopher Nolan film, a Harrison Ford and Blade runner drop (what a surprise), strange shows that somehow were real things, the issues with escalation as tv series evolve, how Matt can't come to grips with the last major action set piece at the hospital, Hans Zimmer's recycling music, the undercurrent of cynicism in the film, why the world of Brick feels so familiar, Terrence Malick's influence on Christopher Nolan, a small Mya Deren tangent, and why everyone is wrong and now is still the best time to live in.

Gabe and Matt hope the years have fermented Lawless into some shiny and chrome moonshine. Topics include Lore (with a capital "L"), a thorough analysis of the business-side of textbook publishing, essay writing theory, the "cinematic stylings" of one Baz Luhrmann, The Great Gatsby, story structure in movies vs. books/novel adaptations, triangular structure and art theory, the complex relationship to John Hillcoat movies, the budding friendship between Richard Linklater and Alex Jones and the afterschool special we really want, Shia LaBeouf in 2012, everyone's favorite questioningly leading man Jason Clarke, Australian cinema, how Gareth Evans should do action scenes for all movies, filmmakers who have made it to the point of self-parody, lifeless sequels to a passion project, and ideas and propositions for ad reads.
