Ep 40: Army Of The Dead
Manny and Treb return to complain about Zack Snyder's God-awful Army Of The Dead. We have a therapeutic venting session for an hour and still don't cover all the things wrong with this movie. Hopefully Netflix brings us some better movies in the future.
Next up will be Without Remorse, available on Amazon Prime streaming.

Aloha from Reel Original veterans Dave, Suzanne, and Sterling! We dive into the complicated history of Adam Sandler movies, Drew Barrymore's wilder times, and even a little of Britney Spears' conservatorship. We have a blast discussing this misfire of a movie and can't wait to do it again.
Next week we're taking a break off, but the week after I'll be discussing Vast Of Night with Kelsey and Treb.
Ep 36: Blade Runner
Replicants Rico, Hannah, and myself bond together to tackle this sci fi classic. Grab your philosophy 101 textbooks and a comfy chair, this one's a long one.
Please give the podcast a rating if you're able to! It helps us stay off of the Blade Runners' radar.
Next week we'll be discussing Adam Sandler's 50 First Dates.
Ep 35: Guns Akimbo
Recurring podcast superstar siblings Kelsey & Treb join in on the fun of discussing a film. Jason Lei Howden and Daniel Radcliffe bring us Guns Akimbo, with recurring podcast favorite actor Samara Weaving. If you enjoy the episode please give us a share on social media!
Next week will be a favorite of mine, Blade Runner. Senior correspondent Ricardo and Junior correspondent Hannah will be listening to me gush about the movie.

Next up will be Jingle All The Way with Nate and Ricardo 12/21/2020.
Handsome
Suz, Sterling, and I slog through a Netflix exclusive nobody's ever heard of for our audience. You've never heard of the movie, and there's good reason for that.
Next episode we publish will be Krampus on 12/14/2020 as we're returning to our Monday timeslot.
Thankskilling & Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Ricardo, Nate, and Dave deliver a Thanksgiving gift to our beloved audience. Be safe everyone.
What Dreams May Come
Kelsey, Treb, and I had to watch Robin Williams' awful film What Dreams May Come for this podcast episode. What kind of hellacious world would drive us to do such a thing? Blame Treb this week on Reel Original. Am I dead? Is this hell?
Next episode will be a groovy double feature of Thankskilling & Planes, Trains and Automobiles with Ricardo and Nate.
Enola
Veteran detectives Sterling and Suz discuss the Netflix Exclusive with me, and we use all the clues around us to solve the mystery of what works and what doesn't.
We're taking a week off from publishing and then Kelsey, Treb, and I will be back on 11/18/20 with Robin Williams' Oscar-winning movie What Dreams May Come (1998).
The Babysitter
Nate and Ricardo come over for a groovy seance. They don't have the best taste in movies but we have a fun time talking about The Babysitter. Not to be confused with The Babysitters Club or A Babysitter's Guide To Monster Hunting.
Correction: Daredevil was not a 90s movie, as it hit theaters in 2003.
Beetlejuice
Noah and Taylor try our best to keep our wits as we discuss the bio-exorcist Beetlejuice.
Corrections: the Beetlejuice show intro WAS composed by Danny Elfman, and the show aired on ABC/Fox- not Cartoon Network.
Next episode we'll be switching to a Wednesday publish date henceforth for Netflix's The Babysitter!
Da 5 Bloods
Spiderman 3
Taylor and Noah squeeze into their superhero suits to help me figure out my feelings for Sam Raimi's Spiderman 3. Conversations veer into space nazis, WW1, ghost walks, terrible butlers, and so much more. You don't want to miss this one!
We'll be taking a week off after this episode, and we'll be back 10/12 to discuss Spike Lee's Da Five Bloods.
The Devil All The Time
Also a correction on this episode: I mentioned Longmire is filmed in Oregon, when in fact it is filmed mostly in New Mexico.
Next week is Spiderman 3! Remember Spiderman 3? Taylor, Noah, and I sure remember it.
I'm Thinking Of Ending Things
Suzanne and Sterling grace the podcast once more with their dulcet tones to discuss Charlie Kaufman's I'm Thinking Of Ending Things. It's a brainbuster of a film and we try to parse what we watched.
Next week is The Devil All The Time with Recordo and Nate.
Labor Day
Ho ho ho, Merry Labor Day! Siblings Kelsey and Trebor join me to discuss the Kate Winslet / Josh Brolin suspense movie Labor Day.
Next week we should be publishing episode on the Netflix exclusive "I'm Thinking Of Ending Things" with Suzanne and Sterling.
Over The Top
Nate and Ricardo don their tightest tanktops for a sweaty conversation about what may very well be the worlds best movie filmed in the 80s about arm wrestling. I should probably specify that Stallone did NOT threaten us in regards to our conversation and we all think he's a super groovy guy.
Some information about the Over The Top toy lineup: http://www.lostentertainment.org/2014/05/toys-over-top-action-figures.html
Next episode will be published on Labor Day 9/6/2020, and the movie will conveniently also be "Labor Day" which is free on Tubi.

We enjoy discussing the plot of Knives Out while entertaining the idea of a possible sequel.
Mr. Right
Manny and Garrett help me discuss and comprehend Mr. Right. Will I ever find my Mr. Right? Let's find out together.
Next week is Knives Out with Suz and Sterling!
What If
Treb picks What If for him, Kelsey, and I to discuss. It's a wild time and we have a blast. Blade Runner 2049, Tully, Scrotal Recall, Terminator Dark Fate, Mother!, Star Trek TNG, and the video game Life Is Strange all come up as we discuss the film.
Next week is Mr. Right!
Ex Machina
Distractions go far and wide in this one as we find ourselves discussing Icebreaker, Sucker Punch, Sleuth, SWTFA, Annihilation, and even Bethesda Softworks for some reason.

Set It Up
My friends Carly and Dylan introduce me to the world of romcoms with.... mixed results. Spoilers for Set It Up, John Wick, Rise Of Skywalker, and FDR American Badass. We say the phrase 'romcom' 20,059 times in this episode, and I accidentally use about half the episode ranting about Rent.
Showgirls
Ben, Kelsey, and I dive into the depths of Showgirls and explore it's every nook and cranny.
Fractured
Nate and Ricardo help me figure out what's going on with Netflix' exclusive Fractured. A great conversation, and a fun podcast to record. I hope you enjoy.
