Mulholland Drive and Maverick
This is the girl. It's a Dan Hedaya Double Feature this week, with Arco taking on David Lynch's avowed feature-length masterpiece, 2001's Mulholland Drive, and Jason watching great talent--William Goldman! Jodie Foster! Mel Gibson!--cash sizable checks in 1994's Maverick.

John Wick Chapter 3 and Drive My Car
After a brief hiatus, we're back with two movies that define this podcast. Jason was delighted by the third Keanu/Stahelski shoot 'em up, John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum [28:41], while Arco let himself be lost in the quiet beauty of Ryuske Hamaguchi's Best Picture-nominated Drive My Car [02:59].

The Raid 2 and Sorcerer
For the pod's first ever fan challenge, Jason watched the martial arts powerhouse that is Gareth Evans' The Raid 2 [02:12], while Arco went back to 1977, with William Friedkin's lost classic, Sorcerer [35:15]. You're gonna need a tougher truck.
NOTE--Sorcerer was Friedkin's SEVENTH feature film as director, not his third or fourth. Mea culpa.

Kingsman: The Secret Service and The Neon Demon
In the most contentious episode yet, Jason had problems with the cultural statements he believed Matthew Vaughn's first Kingsman movie tried to make, while Arco threw up an eyeball during his second ride on the RefnCoaster, 2016's The Neon Demon. A true challenge, all around.

The Batman
In our second Unchallenged episode, Jason and Arco step into Matt Reeves's Gotham, rainy home to the Batman...and also Bruce Wayne, but only for like, one scene. Pattinson fulfilled all of Jason's noir, Frank Miller-inspired dreams, while the movie worked a bit less effectively when seen through Arco's MCU-tinted glasses.
