|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4/30/26 |  Glove Actually | Send us Fan Mail We look at the new MJ bioflick MICHAEL and talk all things the Gloved One. Are we forever nostalgic, and does that speak to pop culture always recycling itself or something more uncomfortable about aging? Also, Mark hesitantly agrees to watch EUPHORIA Season Three. | 1h 23m 11s | ||||||
| 4/9/26 |  Is it a Spoiler if it's the Premise? (w. Kevin Hartford) | Send us Fan Mail We're thrilled to bring filmmaker Kevin Hartford on the pod for some drama about the new Zendaya and Robert Pattinson joint THE DRAMA. Suffice it to say, we don't all see eye-to-eye on this one, but that's what makes this country great. Warning: The advertising has been trying to keep the premise of this movie a secret, and it's discussed in depth on this episode. | 1h 11m 52s | ||||||
| 3/26/26 |  You Can't Hide | Send us Fan Mail We're back for an important meeting of the minds, talking about a couple abrupt endings in the Buffyverse, why Chuck Norris movies are a blindspot for Mark, and looking at the new sequel READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME and the question of whether that's a good title. | 1h 09m 42s | ||||||
| 3/12/26 |  The Academy Awards Awards (w. Kris Langford and Scott Veiga) | Send us Fan Mail It's Oscar Time! And instead of the usual "here's our predictions" nonsense, we're joined by the How'd You Like That Movie? podcast (Kris Langford and Scott Veiga) to vote on the best and worst Best Picture nominee of the 21st Century. All determinations are final. | 1h 32m 13s | ||||||

| 1/15/26 |  The Strangest Things | Send us Fan Mail New year. New Season. We're back, talking about our favourite movies of 2025, whether people are overreacting to the Stranger Things finale, writing well in the age of AI, and studios being too selective with their advertising money. | 1h 16m 50s | ||||||

Gillian Wallace Horvat and Dave Baxter) | Send us Fan Mail With the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES TRILOGY (1990-'93) new on Arrow Video 4K and Blu-ray, we're joined by two people who participated in this mammoth collection, special features producer and filmmaker Gillian Wallace Horvat and comic book expert Dave Baxter.

| 12/11/25 |  Warner Bidders | Send us Fan Mail Above our heads, deals are negotiated for the future of entertainment culture. We look at the possible implications of either Netflix or Paramount buying Warner Brothers - how it could impact cinemas, physical media and what you see. Are all movies political?
