Jon and JR give a series of raves to three Hayao Miyazaki films: Porco Rosso, Spirited Away, and Kiki's Delivery Service. We praise Miyazaki's grasp of adolescence, though Jon has less interest in Porco's evocation of mid-century Hollywood than JR does.

Jon and JR talk about some of their favorite movies and TV shows from the first seven months of 2023. Jon's voice gets shaky while talking about Belgian weepie Close, JR laments life imitating art in The Other Two, and Jon's (pretty) sure that his ego isn't as fragile as the characters in You Hurt My Feelings.
 Jon and JR break down our 2023 catch-up trio of Magic Mike's Last Dance, Creed 3, and Reality. We praise what's probably the last big role for Jonathan Majors, and Jon gives his dirtbag left take on Reality Winner.
 Jon's by himself to talk about three of Ben Affleck's movies: his atmospheric debut Gone Baby Gone, his weightless heist film The Town, and Air, his latest film about a large corporation becoming a giant one.
 Jon and JR revisit the 90's for some adventure movies with The Rocketeer, The Mummy, and Congo. Jon says what everyone is thinking about the scientist-gorilla relationship in Congo and we apologize for hurting Rocketeer star Billy Campbell's feeling.
 Jon, JR, and Bryan talk about the latest three movies from Swedish satirist Ruben Ostlund: Force Majeure, The Square, and Triangle of Sadness. Jon is unprepared to pronounce all these Swedish actor names and he and JR reveal their feelings about modern art (they're anti).
 Jon and JR discuss Love and Basketball, The Woman King, and What's Love Got To Do With It. Lots of praise for Thuso Mbedu and Angela Bassett's arms is interspersed with another sad story from Jon's lonely childhood and repeated dismissals of the Mel Gibson movie, The Patriot.
 We're on a 2022 movie tear lately, and that continues as Jon and Pierce talk about Everything Everywhere All At Once, RRR, and The Menu. We debate the hotness of Nicholas Hoult, fumble around about Hindu nationalism, and have a lot of negative things to say about a movie we otherwise are fans of.
 We're back in 2022 in Review mode with our latest trio of movies as Jon, JR, and Bryan talk about The Banshees of Inisherin, Elvis, and Kimi. Bryan lays down the law about metaphors and JR confesses to a string of arsons.
 Despite both agreeing that 2022 wasn't the best year for film, Jon and Pierce go very long on six movies they loved, plus two TV shows. Jon includes not one but two of his trademark body horror recommendations. Stick around til the end to hear about Pierce's tragic breakup with the AMC North Dekalb theater.
