Mission: Impossible III stars Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Billy Crudup, Michelle Monaghan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Keri Russell, Maggie Q, Simon Pegg, Eddie Marsan, Laurence Fishburne, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Owen Davian; directed by J.J. Abrams.

“Both [Cage] and George C. Scott [in Hardcore] share the same forehead sweat…” - Andrew 

On this week’s very special episode, we’re celebrating EPISODE 800 with a very sleaze-tastic conversation on Joel Schumacher’s 8MM! How funny is it the screenwriter got upset that the content was toned down from his more hardcore vision? Was Cage’s Tom Welles in over his head with this case or was he just the man for the job? How funny is that scene with Gandolfini trying to skip town carrying several boxes of pornography? How great is Joaquin in this performance as Max California? And how terrifying is that final showdown at Casa de Machine? PLUS: “Marc Maron” asks Machine who his guys are!

8MM stars Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, James Gandolfini, Peter Stormare, Anthony Heald, Catherine Keener, Myra Carter, Amy Morton, and Chris Bauer as Machine; directed by Joel Schumacher.

How great is James Spader with this Ultron performance? Are there too many characters in this fully-loaded movie? Should they have written mutant characters when they couldn’t use the word ‘mutant’ anywhere in the script? And would Ultron have been more menacing if he was given a big, mechanical mustache?

“It was like a MacGruber wedding!” - Eric on Ethan’s nightmares

On this month’s death-defying We ❤️ Movies episode, we’re chatting about one of the best Hunt & Co. adventure to date, Mission: Impossible - Fallout!

On this week’s episode, the gang’s under the spell of the mid-90’s witchcraft cult classic, The Craft, chatting about the flick with long-time friend of the show, Angelica Jade Bastién! Does this movie get better with each viewing? Couldn’t the script have added a little more of Cliff De Young’s character (for Eric)? How great is Snake Guy and his exit from the film? And did anyone care about that legacy sequel? PLUS: Should Charles Xavier take these girls under his wing?

The Craft stars Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Rachel True, Christine Taylor, Breckin Meyer, Nathaniel Marston, Cliff De Young, Assumpta Serna, and Skeet Ulrich as Chris Hooker; directed by Andrew Fleming.

On this week’s episode, we’re chatting about the nowhere-near-as-good-as-its-sequel assassin film, The Accountant. Couldn’t we have done this whole thing without all the flashbacks to them as kids? Did we need the Treasury Department cold on the Accountant’s trail the whole movie? Didn’t everyone want to yell, ‘No Touching,’ whenever we see Jeffrey Tambor’s character in prison? And how creepy is it that Ben draws faces on all those melons he’s going to shoot? PLUS: Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber? Really?

The Accountant stars Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Jeffrey Tambor, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, John Lithgow, Jean Smart, and Jon Bernthal as Brax; directed by Gavin O’Connor.
