"Whoever said size doesn't matter never played a third-person shooter."

This week, we're absolutely thrilled to welcome back friend of the show, the Internet's 2000s Horror Queen, and author of the forthcoming book Millennial Nasties, Ariel Powers-Schaub to discuss the necessary-if-not-inconsistently-executed cinematic confluence of horror and video games! Listen NOW as we dissect such vital topics as whether or not Stay Alive qualifies as a millennial nasty, the power of a Jimmi Simpson performance, and the sheer lack of diversity in mid-aughts horror. Come for the horror talk, stay to hear Stephen reveal his weird hidden talent!

"You want the scent? Smell yourself…"

This week, we're diving into the Lecter-verse as we dig into the first film adapted from one of Thomas Harris's Hannibal Lecter novels! We're talking Michael Mann and William Petersen, debating the best Lecter (Lecktor?), and determining whether or not this franchise qualifies as horror. PLUS, Stephen ranks the entire Lecter franchise!

"What are we??"

We're breaking formats the way that Johnny Kovak breaks down corporate corruption in the latest episode of Straight Up, the show where we basically let Tucker do whatever he wants! And this quarter, he's chosen this 1978 Norman Jewison film featuring Sly as an upstart union leader who may or may not be Jimmy Hoffa! And we're joined by musician and union organizer Evan Tuohy to talk Stallone's star power, Jewison's legend status, and devolve into a discussion on Eddie Murphy!

"Oh, it's over already? I was just about to make my move!"

There's a new Planet of the Apes film in theaters so we can finally discuss a film that Stephen has been anxiously anticipating since the podcast began! We talk our personal histories with the Apes franchise, discuss the decade-long development hell of this film and the versions that could have been, Mark Wahlberg's best performances, and Tim Burton's love life on this one! You won't want to miss it!

This movie might be a madhouse (A MADHOUSE!!), but social media doubly so! Check out our social media presences in the following places:

"In the land of the infected, the immune man is king."

This week, with Furiosa making its way into theaters later this month, we're talking about another badass female protagonist with a missing body part trapped between two feuding warlords in a harsh, post-apocalyptic wasteland! Listen as we talk "Star Trek," our past experiences with Neil Marshall films, and how well this movie spotlights its references!

"Some dogs are meant to be champions. Some dogs are meant to be… dogs."

We're back with another installment of our unofficial 'Coming Attractions' theme month! There are three - count 'em, THREE - new movies opening on Memorial Day weekend and we couldn't decide which to discuss, so we're covering all three! First up, the new animated Garfield movie promises an animated movie based on a comic strip about a larger-than-average housepet voiced by an incredibly unconventional choice… so we're bringing you another one of those! Join us as we talk about our favorite comic strips, the incredibly distracting character models, and why Tucker actually had fun with this movie!
