    Nickel Boys

    We close out another volume of the podcast with a divisive look at the harrowing 'niche indie movie'/Oscar nominee, Nickel Boys. We have a spirited debate about the effectiveness of the First Person POV filmmaking and a not-so-spirited look ahead at what we might be podcasting about next.

    Challengers

    What? You came for the three-way? Well it's time for you to learn a little something about delayed gratification... and far more than you ever wanted to know about tennis. It's a spicy one and we wouldn't have it any other way. Plus 10 second review of Wake Up Dead Man!

    I Saw the TV Glow

    No need for an episode guide, because we've got you covered on how to understand a metaphor, what happened in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and how deeply broken our brains are when it comes to thinking about the logistics of television production.

    Godzilla Minus One

    A lizard this big demands special treatment so Matt hopped in a train to admire Ben's premium Godzilla box-set in person. We're talking kaijus. We're talking Academy Awards. We're talking Gokaiger. And we're of course talking Science, B!tch.

    Strange Darling

    Matt once again tries a movie Ben has never seen before and it can't really go much worse than 'The Harder They Fall'... right??? Tune your radios to Big Foot Stories, cook the most unholy meal imaginable and let's negotiate the terms of this encounter, shall we? (The Arrested Development trivia Matt was thinking of is that Michael Cera and Liza Minelli never shared a scene so in Season 4, George Michael claims "I don't know the woman.")

    The Taste of Things

    Demonstrating why they don't generally record at night, Ben & Matt have gone pretty insane in this episode as they give the world's worst descriptions of Cannes and how to eat Ortolans. Whatever, man, I got hungry just writing the caption.

    Past Lives

    Fire up your preferred Skype machine and join us for a discussion of in-yan, yearning and immigration questions. Is Matt projecting? Who won Benjis? Come find out! Hey maybe you used to be the podcaster and WE were the listeners! Ignore the fact podcasting was invented in our lifetime.

    Decision to Leave

    For the first time in the history of the podcast Matt took zero notes and tried to match Ben's 'off the dome' acumen... and he simply could not have picked a worse episode given the various twists and turns at play in this Korean detective tale. Open up your translator apps, takes some voice notes on your smart watch and lets climb the expert route of podcasting together.
