"The most oppressed minority: gamers." It's 2024! And we talk for a bit about how Nimona (2023) was released in (2023)! Whoops. We took a break for a while but we're getting back into it. This is a good movie and this is a good movie podcast episode about a good movie. We also talk about The Last of Us (the video game and tv show). Enjoy.

"Marriage Story but it's Donkey and Dragon." Welcome back, all you shreaks. Put your shrocs on, get a shrack, and shruddle up with us while we discuss Shrek 2 (2004). We talk about the Shrek gospel, what we would get cancelled for, and the future of the Shrekiverse. This episode is a little unhinged but stick with us cause I swear it gets good.

"It checked the box for plot." It took some getting there but after 2 months and some heated arguments over the definitions of a comedy, a coming of age movie, and misogynistic actions, we finally reviewed Superbad (2007). Jordine joins the boys on this episode and presents her declaration of the two kinds of comedy films, so don't miss out.

"Inside of you there are two wolves and one has a duel deck." This episode, we get a good look at the Daniels' first feature film: Swiss Army Man (2016). It's a good time talking about giving Hank a hug, Sarah's involvement in the story, and why Manny the corpse is so much more than a boner compass. Hashem makes Leander upset too, so make sure to listen till the end.

"I'd like to walk that all back." In hot anticipation of Oppenheimer, we take a gander at a big classic: Dr Strangelove or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb (1964). Grab a snack because we get into Stanley Kubrick's directing style, the way we watch black and white movies, and how to go about our daily lives with the threat of nukes hanging above our heads at all times. (Pro tip: the trick is to stop thinking about it).

"He's in a jungle. Wearing beige." This week's pick got us a bit of a longer episode with a discussion on Good Time (2017) and a larger analysis of today's Hollywood. We get into the mud talking about Robert Pattinson and Nicolas Cage's comebacks, what a movie has to accomplish to have you sit through the credits, and the parallels between Fortnite and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.
