August 04, 2023 'Haunted Mansion,' 'Talk to Me' reviews
The post-Barbenheimer blues are real, y'all. Hosts Kevin Schwaller and Ema Sasic review two movies that both randomly came out one late-July weekend that probably should've been saved for Halloween: Disney's "Haunted Mansion" remake and A24's "Talk to Me." Both movies have quite a lot in common, actually!

July 07, 2023 Final 2023 Emmy nominations predictions, 'Based on a True Story' review
Hosts Ema Sasic and Kevin Schwaller put on their expert caps and pull out their crystal balls as they predict who will be in the running for a golden statuette at the 2023 Emmys this year! Some of their favorites like "Abbott Elementary," "The White Lotus" and "Only Murders in the Building" are locked in, as is quite literally EVERYTHING "Succession." You don't need a crystal ball for that one, though.

They also discuss the new Peacock comedy "Based on a True Story," the comedy-mystery that DOESN'T star Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, and bid adieu to one of the best shows of all time, "The Other Two." #DubeksForever <3

June 23, 2023 'Elemental,' revisiting Pixar's collection
Hosts Ema Sasic and Kevin Schwaller review the new Pixar film "Elemental," which they quickly learned was not just a copy and paste of "Inside Out." They discuss how and why the film is "flopping" and the sad fact that it probably won't get its own ride at a Disney theme park any time soon. They pair their review of Pixar's latest with a trip through Pixar Animation Studios, from their first film "Toy Story" all the way to "Turning Red." They also both really dislike the "Cars" movies, by the way.
