• S15 Ep800: 8MM - OUR 800TH EPISODE SPECTACULAR!

  “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.

  “Whedon at the line….oh, no, another brick!” - Steve, on the screenplay clunkers On this week’s episode, the 2025 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza kicks off with a trip to Franchise Town as we discuss the fun, Spader-tastic sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron! 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?

• S15 Ep797: The Craft (with Angelica Jade Bastién)

  “This is just a collection of mediocre covers.” - Chris on the soundtrack 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?

• S15 Ep796: The Accountant

  “I want real kids fighting each other!” - Chris, on the flashbacks 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.
