Mendeavor 4 with Kayleen: The Bourne Series, Part 1 (Films 1-3)

Mendeavors with Kayleen: The Terminator Series, Part 3 (Films 5 & 6)
Kayleen and I are back to wrap up our discussion of the corpse of the Terminator series! If you thought Terminator 3 and 4 were bad, you have no idea what you're in for with Terminator Genisys (2015) and Terminator: Dark Fate (2019). They are the cinematic equivalent of taking dumps on the legacy of the first two films. Enjoy!

Kayleen and I continue our dive into the Terminator series with closer looks at Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) and Terminator: Salvation (2009). Two films that I think it's safe to say are no one's favorites. We went into these lesser loved films hoping to find some quality, and you should listen to hear if we did!

I'm joined again by Kayleen, from We Explain Movies, for a deep dive into the Terminator series!

The Movie Doctors Go Rogue (One!) [2016]
Kevin and I talk about Gareth Edwards' Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the first film in the Star Wars spin-off series. We talk about how we were initially excited to see the film, and how, upon watching it, we came away feeling the experience was hollow. We go into our feelings of disappointment and highlight where the film could improve, with many inaccuracies along the way! As you can tell, we're professionals.

The ABCs of Jeff
I'm joined by someone who has known me for literally my entire life: my dad! In 2007, he wrote a blog post titled Favorite Movies, A to Z, where he listed his favorite movies going by off of the letter of the alphabet that they start with. Almost 14 years removed from that post, I was curious about what he would think of the list since many of his favorite movies have come out in the past decade. We go through each movie, one by one, to figure out if he would keep the movie he picked or pick something else.
