It's our first Listener Request episode!  Today the Lads talk about Babylon, Damien Chazelle's 2022 epic dramedy about Hollywood's transition from silent films to sound films in the late 1920's to early 1930's.  Featuring a large cast headlined by Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie, this film is an exercise in excess in almost every aspect.  Combining breathtaking cinematography, superb acting and a wonderful score, Babylon is a visually stunning, albeit flawed, spectacle that we really enjoyed watching and discussing.  Thanks to Alex for suggesting it!  We would love to get more requests.  For anyone that's so inclined, please email us at [email protected].

The Lads continue their journey into Middle Earth with the second part of The Lord of the Rings trilogy: 2002’s The Two Towers with a guest; our buddy Cameron. 
The Fellowship have split up.  Frodo and Sam continue toward Mordor, followed by Gollum (whose real name is revealed to be Sméagol). He leads them to the Black Gate but can they trust him to not stab them in the back?  Meanwhile, Merry and Pippin are able to escape from the Orcs, only to meet an ancient being who brings them to an Ent Moot. Aragorn and Co., after being assured by a resurrected Gandalf (Now The White) that Merry and Pippin are safe, head to Rohan to help King Theoden defeat an Orc army 10,000 strong. 
It’s another masterful film by Peter Jackson that we really enjoyed diving into.  Plus, Steve and Cameron go head to head in a trivia contest hosted by Tage. It’s a long episode this week but we podcasters don’t say anything unless it’s worth taking a very long time to say!

The lads talk about one of the worst films ever made, The Room, starring, produced, written, and directed by Tommy Wiseau. The description of this movie deserves as much effort as went into making it. Tommy has a fiancé, but, his fiancé does not like him anymore and cheats on Tommy. Tommy finds out and Tommy is sad. Please join us as we, tear this movie apart!

 The lads finally dig into arguably the greatest trilogy of all time, Peter Jackson's (originally written by J.R.R. Tolkien) The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. A hobbit named Frodo (Elijah Wood) is made aware of the existence of the One Ring. A council convenes and trusts the One Ring's fate to Frodo. After this, he and eight others set out on a quest to destroy the Ring and prevent the evil Sauron's return to power. We couldn't be more excited to start this series, which is a favorite of so many. Sit back and enjoy as we start the tail that has held up and will hold up for all time.

The lads talk about Joseph Kosinski's 2022 summer blockbuster, Top Gun: Maverick. Even after 30 years Maverick (Tom Cruise), is still pushing the limits and fighting his demons as a Navy pilot. He may still face his toughest battle yet after being called back to the Top Gun academy. After 36 years, audiences were finally bestowed a sequel to Top Gun, and what a sequel it was. Grossing almost 1.5 billion dollars and the number one movie in the world in 2022, Top Gun: Maverick lived up to its hype and potential.

The lads talk about John McTiernan's 1989 holiday action classic, Die Hard. NYPD officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) is visiting his estranged wife (Bonnie Bedelia) in Los Angeles for the holidays when a group of terrorists seize control of her work Christmas party at Nakatomi Plaza.  McClane manages to escape and play hell on the terrorist's plans to steal millions of dollars in bear bonds. While there has been debate as to whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie; it is. Most everyone agrees that it did set the standard for action movies moving forward.

The lads talk about Jon Favreau's Christmas classic, Elf. A human named Buddy (Will Ferrell) accidentally ends up in the North Pole. After being raised as a large elf by Papa Elf (Bob Newhart), Buddy travels from the North Pole to New York City to meet his biological father, Walter Hobbs (James Caan),  who doesn't know he exists and is in desperate need of some Christmas spirit. We couldn't wait to take on this all-time favorite and soak up some of that Christmas spirit ourselves.

 The lads talk about David Lowery's The Green Knight. retelling a classical medieval tale of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel) and the Green Knight (Ralph Ineson). There is plenty to enjoy about this film; it did leave some wanting more and some needing more. With our first guest, Steve's brother James, we hope to illuminate this film enough for you to make your decision.

 The lads talk about Robert Zemeckis's all-time classic, Back to the Future. Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is just your average high school slacker—that is, until, with the help of his scientist and inventor friend Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), he is sent 30 years into the past. When this movie first hit theaters, it was an instant hit. With the help of our guest, our buddy Derek, we hope this episode is also an instant classic.

The Lads talk about Kathryn Bigelow's 2008 war thriller, The Hurt Locker. Set during the ongoing Iraq war, a sergeant (Jeremy Renner) is recently assigned to an army EOD squad. His squad mates (Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty) quickly learn that the Sergeant's unorthodox and maverick tendencies may just get them killed. The film will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish, as if there was no other place you'd rather be.
