Jon and JR chat about NASA movies with Apollo 10 1/2, The Right Stuff, and Contact. It's up for grabs which subject Jon rambles on about for longer: his love for Carl Sagan or the loss of reckless freedom that American kids used to have. JR's a good sport and only tells him he's full of shit once or twice.

Jon and JR break down three Black female director debuts with Eve's Bayou, Daughters of the Dust, and The Watermelon Woman. Jon reiterates the bottomless charm bomb that is his white-hot hatred of superstition.
 Jon and JR compare and contrast three takes of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Joel Coen's Tragedy of Macbeth proves to be the clear winner, with Justin Kurzel's Macbeth and Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood in its rearview. We missed Pierce and his English degree for all kinds of fun Elizabethan detail, but we cover up that loss with a lot of laughs about dead babies, thus staying on brand.
 Hands are waved and voices are raised as Jon, Shane, JR, and Pierce get into it about Power of the Dog, Matrix Resurrections, and No Sudden Move. Strong feelings are had about who's the moron in the newest Matrix sequel, who's smart and who's dumb in Power of the Dog, and whether or not Brendan Fraser's reemergence is overdue.
 Jon and JR have a great back-and-forth going as we break down Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Hero, and The Grandmaster. They both love the wu xia style of martial arts movies, though Jon's less into the politics of Hero. Maggie Cheung is also defined as the anti-goop. Listen for whatever that means!
 We are very sorry that an unedited podcast was posted and you, dear listener, had to listen to our otherwise-cut fumfurs and uh's and overlong rambles. Here's the real Dune Show. One of our members has been cast into the maw of Shai-Hulud for the mistake, never to be heard from again.
 It's been Dune month here at the MMC, and Jon, Pierce, JR, and briefly Shane talk about the version that just came out, the version from the 80's, and a documentary about a version that never was. Jon practiced his pronunciation of Kwisatz Haderach, but Shane just referred to the position as King Space Dork, making fools of us all.
Pierce and Jon wish The Many Saints of Newark was more focused, while Jon sticks around til the end to give his thoughts on News of the World and CODA.
 Jon, Shane, and Drew go spoof-crazy this month, as we break down the comedic chops of Galaxy Quest, They Came Together, and Clue. Stay tuned for Coach Cast, wherein we check in with Dauber and the gang as they steer their football team to victory!
 Jon and Drew listen while Shane loses his shit over Blade, specifically Blade Trinity. Jon's so bewildered that he completely forgets to referee the Movie Game. There is in fact no movie named Eastward Bound, and Owen Wilson's not in it.
