You may have noticed a distinct lack of episode-by-episode coverage of Secret Invasion on Marvel Mondays. Part of that is I’m pretty exhausted (more on that later in the year), and the other part is it quite frankly didn’t deserve it. This is unequivocally the worst show in the MCU to date.

Nicole Holofcener specializes in empathetically capturing the loves in self-involved upper middle class whites stuck in a bubble and going through it. No one going today is able to explore stuff like that and make you it seem so true to life. Continue reading Ranking the Nicole Holofcener Films
Time to dust off one of our favourite debates on this podcast network: Is it worse to be Boring or Bad?
Michael Bay submits his evidence to the latest hearing, Age of Extinction, which literally has another movie tacked onto the back of it. Hard to believe a movie could be Bad OR Boring when it features Dinobots, Bounty Hunters and Stanley Tucci, but here we are!

Greta Gerwig is one of the most compelling and talented filmmakers in the world today. She will hopefully be making movies for a very long time. Continue reading Ranking the Greta Gerwig Films
It’s the last week of Brendan Fraser Month and what better way to close it out then with a borderline classic, The Mummy from 1999.
Both Jerome and Brian are very enthusiastic about the film, despite its goofy plot and 90’s CGI. What happens when you mix Indiana Jones with Universal Horror? You get this.

Be not afraid of the huge number of issues covered in this episode, as a big chunk of it belongs to Dark Cybertron, the mostly irrelevant crossover event we break down in under 10 minutes.
On either side of that we discuss Huge Secrets about Magnus & Skids, Pharma’s horrifying antics, a mockery of a trial, the Lost Light’s new crew members, and the curious case of a vanishing starship.

Werner Herzog is one of the greatest filmmakers who has ever stepped behind the camera. I am merely at the beginning of my journey of exploring and studying his documentaries so far, but I am going to share my early findings on what I consider to be his best and most essential work.
“Don’t try to understand it. Feel it.”
Christopher Nolan is a fascinating director. He is perhaps best understood by comparing his first film (Following) and his most recent film, at the time of original publication (Tenet). Both films best capture what he seems to value most in movies: mood & atmosphere. He is not a plot-detailed oriented director. At least, there is little to no evidence to suggest he values that. He cares about the feeling watching a movie gives you. The story of his films is the pull between that desire to pursue focusing on a film’s vibes and Hollywood conventions that focus more on plot and traditional means of characterization. The results have been mixed to say the least but rarely boring. Continue reading Ranking the Christopher Nolan Films
Jerome and Brian are back with another 90’s Brendan Fraser flick that also features Universal Monsters in a non-Universal film. Funny how that works.
The film is Gods and Monsters from 1998 which had awards acclaim at the time. It’s a fictionalized account of the final days of famous director James Whale. Was it a “whale” of a time? Let’s find out.

Jerome and Kevin are back this month as they will be spending the rest of the year looking at a number of Netflix shows that were cancelled too soon.
This month is the first month of American Vandal. They will discuss who really drew the dicks and how much that mattered in the first place.
