Tim Grierson and Will Leitch are lifelong best friends who have been writing and talking about the movies for 25 years. Grierson is vice president of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Leitch is doing his absolutely best to pretend. Read their work everywhere. But listen to this show for the pure juice, straight on tap.

"Civil War," "Sasquatch Sunset," "The People's Joker"
It's a big art/blockbuster movie! It's A24, so it's art? But it's a big hit so it's a blockbuster? It's so confusing, so we try to get to the bottom of Alex Garland's "Civil War." Then, we discuss a movie with Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough as Bigfeet in "Sasquatch Sunset." And then it's Vera Drew's festival hit "The People's Joker."

Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.

"Monkey Man," "The Beast," "Girls State"
Sorry we took another week off, but we're back to our weekly shows. We've got three fun ones this week! First, it's Dev Patel's actioner "Monkey Man." Then it's the French science fiction drama "The Beast," with Lea Seydoux. And we close with the Apple TV documentary "Girls State," a "companion" film to 2020's "Boys State." Fun movies to talk about this week. Also, Will insults Florida a bit.

"Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire," "Road House," "Immaculate"
After a week off, we are back! (And then we have another week off next week. Sorry. Both Leitch's fault.) We've got good ones to discuss, though. Well, meaty ones, anyway. First, it's another Ghostbusters movie, "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire." Then it's the Doug Liman straight-to-video remake "Road House." And we close with the Sydney Sweeney nun movie, "Immaculate."

2024 Oscars Recap, "Love Lies Bleeding," "Ricky Stanicky"
Hey, we stayed up to talk about the Oscars and posted it right afterwards. Aren't you proud of us? We deserve your praise! Anyway, a big night for "Oppenheimer," and Emma Stone, and "The Zone of Interest," and Cord Jefferson, and John Cena.
We talk about two new movies too: It's Rose Glass' "Saint Maud" follow-up with Kristen Stewart, "Love Lies Bleeding." Then it's a Peter Farrelly movie, "Ricky Stanicky."

"Dune: Part Two," "Spaceman," 2024 Oscar Predictions
The second Dune movie is out! Remember the first one? This is a big hit, this new one, and we dig into it in all its glory. Then we discuss the Adam Sandler Netflix space drama "Spaceman."
Then, hey, the Oscars are one week away. We preview the show and make predictions in the eight major categories.

"Drive-Away Dolls," "Tenet," "His Girl Friday"
It is almost a Coen Brothers movie: It's "Drive-Away Dolls," directed by Ethan Coen and starring some old Coen staples. We dig into it, and then, with the re-release of "Tenet" in theaters, finally do one full look at the film and pass some sort of final judgment. (For now.)
Then in our Reboot segment, we go way back, back to 1940, to revel in the classic "His Girl Friday."
