13:07 - Furiosa Review //

Furiosa takes a tumble at the box office, but how does the latest “Mad Max Saga” hold up against the Fury Road?  

This week, the whole gang's back together, and with a pair of brand new trailers for Venom: The Last Dance and Alien: Romulus!  

Then we dive into our feature discussion, George Miller’s latest journey across the wasteland, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga!  It underwhelmed at the box office, but how does it fare against the rest of the franchise?  Tune in to here our thoughts and spoiler filled discussion… WITNESS!

THE FUTURE IS NOW!! Chat GPT has entered the chat! With Miguel and Ed gone for the week, Luis has no other choice but to enlist Chat GPT as his new Podcast Guest. Together they chat and recap about all the big casting updates for Fantastic Four (Marvel Studios), Jurassic World 4, and Wake Up Dead Man: Knives Out Mystery (Netflix). Luis even asks Chat GPT what movie/show they are looking forward to. I was surprised they even answered the question!

They even talk about the state of the Movie Industry, the Box Office Failure of “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” and “Garfield” on Memorial Day Weekend, and the new media plan for Marvel Studios (Marvel Television, Marvel Animation, Marvel Spotlight, and Marvel Special Presentation). Times are tough in the Movie Industry with many chanting “Survive till 25”

Oh yeah and we talk about Vision and “It Was Agatha All Along”... you know… more Marvel stuff.

It’s just two amigos this week as Ed takes time to wrangle tornadoes in Texas! 

While he’s out, Luis and Miguel talk the latest update for Chat gpt which sounds awfully familiar to a certain celebrity who is unafraid to hire a legal team. Will Scarlett Johansson be the first to make an example of the changes we need to make to AI and its usage? 

Plus the nerds cannot believe the fall off that The Fall Guy is experiencing by being pushed to VOD only three weeks after its release. Does this spell doom for the movie theater industry and what will audiences prefer in the future?

And speaking of how consumers spend their hard earned money, Luis and Miguel get into just how much a video game is worth and what limit each nerd has on their budget. 

All of that plus WHAT WE’RE INTO in this streamlined episode!

2:30 - Review //

51:20 - Ranking //

Apes together strong! This week the nerds review the latest installment in the Apes franchise: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes! (What a wonderful title!) Did it stick its landing as a soft reboot of the series or were they just monkeying around?

Plus, what would the podcast be without an overlong ranking and takedown of the beloved franchise. With a whopping TEN movies out now, clearly a ranking is due. 

Where did your favorite Apes movie land on our lists? Stay tuned to find out. 

No news, trailers, or what we are into this week but the nerds will be back to regular format next week!

38:36 - Challengers Review //

01:16:33 - The Fall Guy Review //



Does Challengers score with the nerds?  Does The Fall Guy fall short of expectations?  What is the beef with Drake and Kendrick?  In episode 105, we try answering all three in a jam-packed episode, where we discuss not one, not two, but all top three movies in the US Box Office - because we also celebrate the 25th anniversary re-release of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace!

And before all that?  We get into news, including the first official look at David Corenswet as James Gunn’s Superman and word on Mike Flannigan’s new Exorcist project and more.

That’s not all! We dive into what we’ve been into.  We welcome Miguel into the Ted Lasso fold, Ed weeps (tears of joy) for Welcome to Wrexham, and Luis journeys into the world of the Planet of the Apes!  It’s a fun one, so tune in and enjoy!
