    Now Showing: Dune Part Two

    The Mikes are taking to the desert of Arrakis to bring you their thoughts on the recently released "Dune: Part Two". Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field talk about Denis Villeneuve's latest Sci-Fi film epic. They'll discuss the improvements made over the already excellent Part 1, and also touch upon this film's love with general audiences despite it's complex subject matter and the film's very un-Hollywood ending. Butler will also go into some of the differences that Villeneuve made to Frank Herbert's original story that seem to work for the better.

    Mike Butler and Mike Field are traveling down to the Florida Keys to work as bouncers and fight Conor McGregor as they discuss the 2024 Amazon Prime remake, "Road House" starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Williams, and Billy Magnussen.
    Listen in as the Mikes talk about how this film is as much a ridiculous, terrible B-Movie as the original, but without the nostalgia, and also possibly more of a version of B-tier 00's film than the originals 80's vibe.
