Jon, Shane, and Pierce praise and lament some of the best and worst of what's been a pretty great year for movies. Space Jam: Legacy, with its cameos for dystopian English rapists, gets mentioned, but you'll have to listen to find out if it was in the Best or Worst category. ![]()
Jon, Pierce, Drew, and JR discuss some notable 2019 releases, including Parasite, Uncut Gems, and 1917. We're sorry to say that this episode is only half-edited, as there was an issue with the saved file and Jon just can't be bothered to reinvest an hour of time into editing. This is how he wins. ![]()

Shane goes over his top 25 of the decade with Jon and Pierce, while also getting in a brag about his lucid dreaming ability. We spend a good chunk of the episode praising the Lonely Island, and Jon's pretty upset with himself for not remembering an Indonesian war criminal's name. ![]()

Jon, Blair, Bryan, and Chelsea H get personal as they talk about two of the best movies from 2018, Eighth Grade and Tully. We plumb the depths of our own experiences as middle schoolers and two of us relate how Tully synced up with their own time in the maternity ward. Bryan also takes a hard pass on standing up for his gender. ![]()
Jon, Shane, JR, and Drew sit down to discuss several of our favorite movies from 2018. While we push back a bit on Shane's pick of Isle of Dogs, we have nothing but praise for the sushi prep scene, which took 32 days to film, not eight. Sorry, Isle of Dogs animators. ![]()
Jon, Shane, and JR talk about the best movies and TV of 2018 at the halfway point, including You Were Never Really Here, A Quiet Place, and the World Cup. Shane also hangs out a shingle for podcast services and Jon worries that he planted his basil too close to the road. ![]()
Jon, Blair, Drew, and eventually Joe sit down to talk about notable TV shows that aired in 2017, singling out some bonkers moments from shows like The Young Pope and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. We also drop a sick burn on an obscure basketball player for the Evansville Aces, so watch out for that. ![]()
