Movie Chumps Luke Mayo

Corrye put it best: they just don't make 'em like this anymore. The film may be known as Brad Pitt's true coming out party, but Legends of the Fall is a bonafide banger. Edward Zwick makes his second all-timer (after Glory), as he introduces us to the Ludlow family in Montana. The Chumps go on the warpath with Tristan, pointing out the beautiful shots to the lovable One Stab to the frustrating but tragic Susannah. PLUS: Our first reactions to Season 2 of House of the Dragon!

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga rips and roars through the entire 148 minutes. As Corrye and Luke explain, the longest of the Mad Max films features plenty to love: Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth chewing up scenes; George Miller concocting another riveting yarn through unparallelled editing; and new characters to enjoy including Praetorian Jack and Furiosa's mom. The Chumps also tip their cap to explorations of this ragged wasteland, from the Green Place to Bullet Farm to Gas Town to a return to The Citadel. 

The biting satire still holds up! Luke and Corrye pick through Paul Verhoeven's message-laden dystopian action flim from 1987 - a film that comes up smelling like roses in terms of the casting, and its rogue's gallery of villains. The Chumps marvel at the special effects as well as the core memory scenes that are as devastating today as they were when the fellas first say this in the late 80s (that acid scene!). PLUS: Luke tickles Corrye with an OJ Simpson-inspired 5 Questions in light of the notorious Buffalo Bills legend's death. AND: major developments regarding upcoming films from Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, and Martin Scorcese. 

A rollicking good time! John Carpenter delivers an absurd cult classic, with help from super trucker Jack Burton! Cory Kesselring joins Luke and Corrye to discuss the fight choreography, the location of Little China, and the downside of the often forgotten prelude. Among the other hot topics: the three Rayden villains and their comically-huge hats; the imitation Kurt Russell is doing throughout the entire film; the warm blanket that is Egg Shen (Victor Wong); and the consistenly punchable Lo Pan. PLUS: The Chumps bid farewell...sort of.

Not many had Zac Efron crushing this role on their 2023 Bingo card, but here we are. A24 pumps out another banger, this time, the tragic tale of the Von Erich family. Luke and Corrye welcome friend of the pod Cory K back to the podcast to discuss the Von Erich curse; how realistic the wrestling depictions are; the haunting images from Sean Durkin; and the creative decisions to leave out elements of the real tale that would have added even more tragedy to the story. Plus: Corrye Cook drops his Oscar predictions before the big night!

Denis Villeneuve did it again. What a spectacle. A true 10 out of 10. Luke & Corrye return after a two-month hiatus to bring you a recap STRAIGHT OUT OF THE THEATER on Dune: Part Two.
