"...almost all of us self-destruct."

It's an unofficial 'Coming Attractions' theme month where we're talking about movies kinda-sorta related to current or upcoming theatrical releases! To start things off, we're talking about Alex Garland's sophomore effort on the heels of his most recent film Civil War making the divisive rounds! And we're joined by actor, musician, and self-proclaimed Garland acolyte Noah East to bring it home. We're talking about the disastrous test screening that almost altered the film (and definitely altered its release), our Alex Garland introductions, and our entry points to this cast's filmographies!

"Everything's changed… and we can stop Judgment Day!"

And, just like that, our second-ever Arnold Schwarzeneggar theme month - Arnie April 2: Austrian Boogaloo - is at its end… but will it go out with a bang or a whimper? We're talking Arnie's return to his most famous franchise and, along the way, we stop to chat about theme park 4-D attractions, Tucker's bizarre nostalgia for Windows phones, the Fast & Furious franchise, and even make a quick, though long-overdue stop in Brett's Video Corner!

Like Arnie, we may be old, but we're not obsolete.. Follow us on social media to see if we become so:

"You are what you do. A man is defined by his actions, not his memory."

We may be starting to wind down Arnie April 2: Austrian Boogaloo, but we're still managing to come in HOT on this episode! And what luck - we're joined by Stephen's college roommate and all-around good guy Phil Smith to talk about Arnie's last straight-up '80s action role! Along the way, we cast a Philip K. Dick biopic, espouse our shared love of practical effects, test Tucker's good-bad dichotomy of Verhoeven films, discuss the best version of Blade Runner to watch, rate the scientific accuracy of this movie, and manage to squeeze in the briefest of Mighty Ducks deep dives! You aren't gonna want to miss this one!

When he's not living the life of a symbiote on the belly of a freedom fighter, you can find him hanging out on the internet here:

"All theory, no practice. The story of my life."

We're back with week two of Arnie April 2: Austrian Boogaloo with a movie we really wanted to cover the last time we did a Schwarzeneggar theme month… but we're making up for it now! We talk about the directing style of Ivan Reitman, the long history of how this movie came to screen, the now-canceled sequel, and do a career retrospective on Robert Rodriguez! Join us!
