In his second film choice, Archie Comics Co-President Mike Pellerito brings "Thor:Ragnarok" to the table for discussion. And what a way to start, with Mjolnir destroyed and Thor stuck on a planet where the only way off is to fight, can the heroes pull off a last minute rescue for the survivors of Asgard?

In part two of our discussion with writer/director Ben Rock (VideoPalace) he brings us a guilty pleasure that honestly, I'd long forgotten about. The epic adaptation of the book Stephen King doesn't remember writing, "Dreamcatcher". With an all star cast, director and writers, how could this have gone so wrong? Did it really even go wrong? You better listen in to find out what we decide about this forgotten gem.

This week, we welcome writer/director Ben Rock (The Blair Witch Project) to the show and he has brought a real zinger of a film. An early entry from award-winning documentarian Errol Morris. "Fast, Cheap & Out of Control" intertwines the stories of four very unique men, all working in some fashion in the pursuit of harnessing nature. A fascinating and not overlong look at four men doing work you've probably never considered.
No posters this week, just a fun listen enjoy!

Well, here we are. Day 3 of a "podcast-a-day" marathon and the final episode of our 3 part discussion of our favorite Christmas films. My turn today and I decided that we jump into the late 80s re-imagining of Dickens' holiday classic "A Christmas Carol" . Re-packaged and updated with Bill Murray as an angry , cynical TV exec who needs to learn the errors of his ways. Along the way, maybe we'll all learn a little something about the meaning of Christmas.

Here in part two of our 2020 Christmas Special episode, Hassan tells us why "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" deserves our attentions. There are definitely things to love about this film, but unfortunately things to loathe as well. Won't you come join us by the fire for one of the hap-hap-happiest episodes we've ever done this side of the nuthouse.

We each picked our favorite Holiday film and we watched and discussed for the show. I doubt that anyone hasn't seen our three film choices for this, our first year doing this, but we hope you'll enjoy a quick revisit to that special place that only holiday films can take us. First up,Latham's choice is the Frank Capra (true classic) "It's a Wonderful Life" from 1946 starring the inimitable Jimmy Stewart as the everyman George Bailey who one day has just finally had too much to handle and will come to discover just how precious life can be.

This week we celebrate our 50th episode by looking deeply into a David Cronenberg original, actually his first commercial film with special guest Writer/Director Darren Callahan. We start at the start with this Canadian auteur who has brought us so many great films. As expected things are not always smooth sailing, regardless of the body of work. Tune in to see what we thought.
