We make it epic

It is finally time for Dave to defend his "FURIOSA is ok" take. In addition we talk hope, Will's weird fixation with Charlize Theron, one upping a generational action movie, and the glory of Hemsworth.

Spider-man: Into The Spider-Verse and Mentoring (Karate Kid: Legends)

What's up, Danger?

Episode Notes

Does anyone actually care about KARATE KID: LEGENDS? We have no idea. BUT! It gave us the chance to rewatch SPIDERMAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE.

Will and Dave talk about New York, many Spideys, coming-of-age, and disgusting work conditions of animators...

The Exorcist and Religious Conflict (Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning)

A Disgusting Masterpiece

Episode Notes

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING is finally here! (Will is very happy).

Hopefully it has stopped giving people heart palpitations, but THE EXORCIST probably never will. We talk faith, doubt, terrible sequels, and the greatness of Ellen Burstyn!

Candyman and Collective Trauma (Final Destination: Bloodlines)

This podcast is anit-bee

Episode Notes

For the release of FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES, we do a very normal thing. We talk a lot about the phenomenal Tony Todd. And what better place to talk about him than with CANDYMAN (1992).

In this wide ranging discussion we cover disgusting bees, Tony Todd's sex appeal, stupid white people, and Emmett Till's connection to the legend of Candyman. Very normal stuff.

Enjoy!
