    V: THE FINAL BATTLE Episode 2

    Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Michael Ironside to the show. Yes, one of the great tough guy character actors joins the resistance against the Visitors, playing a guy named Ham. This episode has unexplained surgery, Mike Donovan ratting out a friend and the alien babies are born! It's got everything.  Before that: thoughts on the Lanterns trailer and the history of Green Lantern Hal Jordan, discussion of the Milestone universe and how DC is doing dumb things with it, guesses on who dies in The Boys season 5, and much more! If you don't care about any of that skip right to 58:18. Unfortunately I can't include the images Derek talks about on the show, but if you go to www.patreon.com/cinemasangha you can see them there!

    V: THE FINAL BATTLE Episode 1

    At the end of V: The Original Miniseries our heroes won a battle but the war rages on! The ragtag group of LA resistance fighters come up with a plan to turn public sentiment against the Visitors, but is it too risky? Is there too much Mike Donovan? Why are we shoehorning an unearned romance plot into this one? And will Willie and Harmony manage to get it on in a supply closet? Before that: The new GI Joe movie mishigoss. The death of Warner Bros. Fan edits of David Lynch's Dune. The first God of War pic makes Kratos look like he took a nut shot. And perhaps too much discussion of whether Kim Stanley Robinson wrote the Mars trilogy in the For All Mankind timeline. If you don't care about any of that skip right to 52:13.

    V: THE ORIGINAL MINISERIES Episode 2

    The resistance takes the battle to the Visitors in the final part of the original miniseries. We discover the Visitors' true plans for Earth and the human race, Robin is infuriating, Mike Donovan's got quips for days and there's the longest, lowest energy dogfight we've ever seen.  Before that: Why the hell is there a Toy Story 5? What makes Dune 3 eerie? Can we trust James Gunn's denials anymore? What's the best Pearl Jam song? And did V For Vendetta rip off V the miniseries? All that and more! If you don't care and want to get to the main event, skip right to 55:17. Want your questions answered on the show?

    V: THE ORIGINAL MINISERIES Episode 1

    An authoritarian regime takes over, scapegoating a minority group, putting people on lists, disappearing folks from their homes and shooting people in the street. Enough current events: this week we're talking about V: The Original Miniseries, which aired on NBC way back in 1983. Reptile aliens from Sirius have come to Earth and they're bad news, even as they pretend to be the sweetest, cuddliest folks you could hope to meet. It's up to the Beastmaster and a ragtag crew of scientists to save humanity. Is this show actually good or do we have Gen X nostalgia glasses on? Find out! Before that: Independent Spirit Awards! Jason Statham plays Jason Statham! Derek sees Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die! How much of Lord of the Flies do we remember? And so much more! If you don't care, skip right to 44:50.

    WONDER MAN Episodes 5-8

    It's the back half of the MCU show that eschews action and superheroics for a Hollywood story about two unlikely friends. How successful that is might be debatable, though... or at least we debate it on this episode. Want to hear two middle aged brothers argue about Wonder Man? Do I have the podcast for you.  Before that: Send Help! A terrible Dunkin' Donuts ad! The Super Bowl movie trailers! David Lynch! The career of George Clooney! And much more. If you don't care about that, skip to 1:20:59. Yeah, this one is a beast.  Want your questions answered on the show?

    WONDER MAN Episodes 1-4

    You wanted something new from the MCU? I gotchu. This week we cover the first four episodes of the first season of Wonder Man, the whole series of which dropped on Disney+ last week. The Mandarin from Iron Man 3 has returned, and this time he's the mentor to struggling actor Simon Williams, who is hiding the fact that he has immense super powers. When the chance to be in the remake of 80s cheese classic Wonder Man comes up, Simon is all about it, but it turns out his new buddy may not be as trustworthy as you'd expect a former terrorist to be.  Before that: President Poopy Pants. Darren Aronofksy really blows it. A giant Paul McCartney. Philly cheesteaks. A Discord mystery. And so much more! If you don't care about this, skip right to 42:33. Want your questions answered on the show? Send an email to ask.cinema.sangha@gmail.com and ask away, and ask about pretty much anything at all. Make sure your subject line contains the name of the show on which you want your question answered. One question per email, please, but feel free to send in multiple emails!

    Andy Warhol Boards THE LOVE BOAT

    In what is certainly one of the odder pop cultural moments of the 20th century famed artist Andy Warhol guest stars in the 200th episode of The Love Boat, a guest spot he requested!
