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.
 Jon and JR talk about a trio of Guillermo del Toro movies in honor of his long-gestating release of Pinocchio. The Shape of Water and Pan's Labyrinth prove to be a good pairing as all three movies put their protagonists against fascist or fascist-adjacent bad guys, and they're all riffs on fairy tales. We're generally up on Del Toro, but agree that he could use some quality control.
 Jon, Pierce, and JR break down the long-awaited 2022 update of the Sight and Sound list of greatest movies of all time. They look at the movies the critics included compared to the directors, put new number one Jeanne Dielmann on their watchlists, and wonder what any of this is actually for.
 Jon, Pierce, and Shane talk about Whiplash, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. A certain British comedy troupe is not for Jon's comedic tastes, and we wonder if Johnny Depp was ever any good.
 Jon, Riley, and Pierce resurrect an old podcast format with What Have You Been Watching and we go long on about a dozen movies and tv shows from late summer, which is when we recorded this and it's been on Jon's to-edit list since then. Things discussed include Mike, Sandman, The Bear, Three Minutes: A Lengthening, Barbarian, Rings of Power, Industry, Welcome to Wrexham, Thor: Love and Thunder, A League of Their Own, Moonfall, and The Running Man.
