This week, Travis is joined by Dr Niki Ackermans to talk about the 2001 period rom-com action jousting movie, A Knight's Tale. Starring Heath Ledger, Shannyn Sossamon, and Rufus Sewell. Also in the movie are Paul Bettany, Alan Tudyk, Mark Addy and Laura Fraser. It's the story of a peasent squire who fakes being a knight to chase the glory of tournament jousting. It's over the top, silly, and anachronistic. But is it actually a fun one? So Let's find out...

This week, Travis is joined by Nicole Spagnuoloto talk about the 1997 Sci Fi movie, Gattaca. Starring Ethan Hawke, Jude Law, and Uma Therman, it's the story of an "Invalid" named Vincent, and how he tries to improve his station in life with the help of Jerome, a genetically engineered man who has all the tools, but none of the desire. Written and Directed by Andrew Niccol, is this the great film that many purport it to be? Or does it not hold up almost 30 years later. It's distopic, but does it make you really think? Let's find out...

This week, Travis is joined by Tim Lowe to talk about the 2016 film The Accountant. Starring Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal, with JK Simmons, John Lithgow, Jean Smart, Cynthia Addai-Robinson and Jeffrey Tambor. Travis hadn't seen this one before, but it was apparently well liked enough to get a sequel this year. So, is this one worth watching? Or is it just another generic action movie about a seemingly average guy who happens to be a badass? Let's find out...

Starring Ralph Fiennes, Tony Ravoloni, and a host of others, it's as Wes Anderson as Wes Anderson movies can get. But, is it really as good as people claim it to be?

This week, Hammond Chamberlin is back, and he brought an early 2000s action movie to the podcast. China Strike Force was released in 2000, starring Aaron Kwok, Mark Dacascos and Coolio. So, does this one belong in the conversation with other Hip Hop/Kung Fu crossovers like Cradle 2 the Grave or Romeo Must Die, or is it just some low budget schlock? And how good is the stunt work? Let's find out...

This week, Travis is joined by Jo to talk about the 2000 black comedy and psychological thriller, American Psycho. Based on the novel by Brett Easton Ellis, starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman. Travis saw this back in 2000, but hasn't seen it since. Jo just watched it for the first time. So, is it worthy of the cult classic status it has garnered over the past 25 years, or is it liked for all the wrong reasons? And how method should actors go? Let's find out...
