Ugly, Stupid, Dogshit. This week's Rick's Pick was Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011) directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Why does this movie hate women? Why is Steve Carell so unfunny? Why haven't we watched La La Land yet?

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) directed by Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath. It's a Lane's Frame, it's a Chris' List, it's a B-Syde, it's a bad movie and a major letdown. This episode is unlistenable and if you make it all the way through you deserve a statue in your honor.

This week, in honor of the iconic singer's birthday, we have on special guest Maria for our first Maria's Movie: Selena (1997) directed by Gregory Nava. While this movie falls into some stereotypical biopic beats (simple storytelling, mediocre acting, boring direction), Maria schools us on Selena's life and music and why she deserved a better movie. Plus: Ricky's ex-wife revealed.

This week's Lane's Frame is Creed (2015) directed by Ryan Coogler! Our celebratory episode on this year's Best Actor winner Michael B. Jordan open with a long digression about sports, the ren faire, and, of course, MBJ's former Friday Night Lights costar. Is anyone surprised that Ricky thought Rocky was a real guy?

This week's Rick's Pick is the kung fu classic Enter the Dragon (1973) directed by Robert Clouse! Ricky's expectations may have been mismatched with this iconic entry from Bruce Lee's filmography, but they were nowhere near as mismatched as his skills were for our little game. Also, if the audio sounds shitty, that's on me, I'll do better next time.

This week's off-the-cuff Lane's Frame is Apocalypse Now (1979) directed by Francis Ford Coppola! Our first FFC gives us ample opportunity to discuss some familiar faces like Martin Sheen, Dennis Hopper, and the Vietnam War. Plus, a little game.

This week's special guest Christopher is back with a choice off the Chris' List, Ex Machina (2014) directed by Alex Garland! We spend about a third of this episode talking about the movie, another third talking about AI, and the last third bullshitting about important topics like "what is your favorite Pokémon" and "what does the Thing taste like".

This week's Lane's Frame is Hospital (1970) directed by Frederick Wiseman (RIP)! We delve into the recently deceased director's work for the first time to mixed results, as you can really tell Ricky did not want to talk about this movie lol. Nevertheless, we have a spirited discussion about the healthcare system, investigative journalism, and specialized bigotry. Plus: is calling him "LeoDio" catching on? I swear I've said it once or twice and now all my friends call him that.

This week's Rick's Pick is O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) directed by Joel and Ethan Coen! We discuss George Clooney's movie star persona, the Coens' slapstick tendencies, and the Odyssey as a greater cultural artifact. I can just FEEL Ricky getting deflated about this movie over the course of the episode.

This week's B-Syde is Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai (1999) directed by Jim Jarmusch! We talk about this movie's understated visual style, great soundtrack, and Black men's affinity for Japan. Plus: Ricky incorrectly states that Forest Whitaker was on the Boondocks :/ and during Black History Month...
