    PREVIEW - #727 - Uwe Unchained

    One of the most popular movies on the streaming channels this week is a low-budget, far-right action movie starring a disgraced actor and directed by one of worst filmmakers of all time. We ask the question: does anyone actually like Uwe Boll's CITIZEN VIGILANTE (2026)? PLUS: Is a left-wing Tea Party finally here?

    If you want to know if we're alone in the universe, who ya gonna call? We welcome back longtime friend of the show Chris Berube to discuss DAN AYKROYD UNPLUGGED ON UFOS (2005), a documentary that is, incredibly, not a bit.

    PREVIEW - #725 - Artificially Unintelligible

    We catch up on the news - including the long-awaited ouster of Keir Starmer in the U.K., the slow death of the CBC in Canada, and the DSA victories in New York. Then, Will offers a report on the Cinema Shift Festival, an event ominously described as "Canada's First Curated AI Narrative Film Festival." So just how good (or bad) are AI-generated short films nowadays? Do real filmmakers have anything to fear? The answer may not surprise you.

    PREVIEW - #723 - Accept No Substitutes (w/ Adam Johnson)

    It's the late 1990s, and your kids are being terrorized by the greatest menace to ever hit the schoolyard... steroids. We welcome Adam Johnson (of the Citations Needed podcast) to walk us through THE SUBSTITUTE 3: WINNER TAKES ALL (1999), the third entry in the beloved direct-to-video action franchise about murdering teenagers.

    #722 - Negative Buzz

    Across this podcast's long existence, we have attempted to give you a magisterial study of the art and politics of the 2000s. And no comprehensive study of that time would be complete without Jerry Seinfeld's BEE MOVIE (2007). So here, friends, is what happens when the worker bees of the world unite.

    PREVIEW - #721 - A Tedious Mediocre Slog

    After 25 years of conservative political dominance, the indie black comedy THE LAST SUPPER (1996) asked: should liberals just try killing their political opponents? We drive our DeLorean back to the '90s and analyze a very particular moment in Gen-X political comedy.

    #720 - Hanging Chads

    In the year 2000, Al Gore conceded a presidential election he won to George W. Bush in attempt to save the legitimacy of American institutions. Safe to say he succeeded in that goal. We discuss Jay Roach's RECOUNT (2008), a star-studded dramatization of the stolen election that kicked off the New American Century.
