Two friends discussing pop culture. We're like Siskel and Ebert if they sucked.

We're back to talk about going to a drive-in to see TENET, the new film from Christopher Nolan. We start spoiler-free if you want to hear our thoughts on the film and what it's generally about before we move into spoiler territory around the 46:38 mark.

14. The Rise of Skywalker (with Amy H.S.)
Happy New Year from the Failsons. Eli and Luke are joined by special guest Amy H.S. to talk about STAR WARS Episode IX: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER, the supposed end to the Skywalker saga. We've got this much to say for it, at least: it's better than the prequels. We talk about implied f*****g, the plot structure, and what this movie had to say, if anything, and rank this installment among the STAR WARS movies.

12. Watchmen 1.08
It's December 8, 2019. I am watching the eighth episode of HBO's WATCHMEN, entitled "A God Walks Into Abar." I enjoy the ruminations on time and love. It's 2009. I am meeting the woman I will spend the next ten years with. It's December 11, 2019. I am listening to the twelfth episode of Failson Film School. I am disturbed by the rambling of these young men. It's 1985. I am creating life on Europa. It's December 15, 2019. I am watching the season finale of WATCHMEN. It ends tragically.

Customer Reviews
A Truly Insightful and Entertaining Podcast about the Arts
There are plenty of podcasts out there where a couple schlubs review movies and tv shows, but few podcasts have hosts who are as studied, prepared, and fluent in the arts as Eli and Luke. They go out of their way to make their episodes more than just reviews - they provide key insights into the industry, they provide background information to contextualize their opinions, and they make scary-accurate predictions about future episodes of television and films. And the best part is that they’re clearly having a blast making these episodes, in turn making the listening experience a real fun ol’ time. They’re hilarious but professional, goofy but wildly informed. I don’t just listen to be entertained, I listen to learn.
Luke needs to watch The Leftovers
This is a great podcast by two really insightful, passionate people. I look forward to every episode. Luke needs to watch The Leftovers.
Great show
You can really tell how smart and cool the hosts are. Love them
