551: Just One Hop

About this episode

Tim and Frank discuss the merits and drawbacks of movies that are split into parts.

Tim and Frank ring in 2026 with a thoughtful discussion about movies that get split into parts. Is it ever worth it? From Wicked to The Hobbit to Dune and beyond, the geeks debate when splitting a story works, when it absolutely doesn’t, and whether any of it is really about art in the first place. Cheers!
