Episode 71: The Rise of Skywalker

Jeff, Scott, and the New Movie Crew join the Resistance against the First Order just in time to hear Rey's 23andMe results.

And here's the link to Javier Grillo-Marxuach's piece on Return of the Jedi. As Jeff said: 

Everyone who enjoys Star Wars needs to read this. I have been having this exact internal mono(dia)logue since I saw Rise of Skywalker. I have been trying to find the words. Javi found them a few years ago. I am at peace now.

Episode 68: Joker

Jeff, Scott, and two-thirds of the New Movie Crew discuss their relationship status with Joker.

It's Complicated.

Episode 62: John Wick meets The Mummy

Jeff, Scott, and Mary talk about the best movies to watch while you quietly weep and eat ice cream on the couch in your sweatpants, and Mary explains that no, they're wrong, because 1999's The Mummy is the greatest comfort film every made. Then the New Movie Crew checks into The Continental to discuss why John Wick 3 is basically the James Brolin TV series Hotel, except everyone's a murderer.

Oh, and Benevolent and Protective Order of Belarussian Assassins has the worst ticketing system since Delta Airlines.

Episode 61: Avengers: Endgame

Jeff and Scott visit Star Wars Celebration, then drop in unannounced on several TV science fiction franchises because who can stop them? No one!

[Insert maniacal cackle here]

Then the New Movie Crew returns from a flaky death for a super spoilery discussion of Avengers: Endgame.

Episode 60: US Meets CAPTAIN MARVEL

Jeff and Scott chat about the peculiar way the new Joker trailer made them feel, then they debate the merits and demerits of Jordan Peele's Us and ultimately decide it's the best Easter Bunny movie since the Rankin-Bass holiday classic Here Comes Peter Cottontail.

Jeff remembers his mom's love of horror movies, while Scott recalls his Dickensian childhood reading crappy screenplays in a Victorian blacking factory, then they join hands and keep the lagomorph theme alive by plunging down a bottomless rabbit hole as they celebrate the joys and sorrows of dallying at the dollar theater. Finally, the entire New Movie Crew triumphantly returns to talk Captain Marvel, with many helpful tips on the care and feeding of Flerken.

Now put on your anti-alien cat eye protection and let's hit PLAY!

Episode 47: Avengers: Infinity War: Colon Style!

Corellian freighter jack-knifed off the 101 today, road closures to follow...*

Jeff drags Scott to a 12-Step program for people who procrastinate until their DVRs explode, while the New Movie Crew takes on Avengers: Infinity War. As with all our Marvel movie reviews, stick around for the post credits sequence.

The Last Jedi

Our pilot episode was The Force Awakens. Last holiday season was Rogue One. And now for our second anniversary show, it's The Last Jedi. Scott and the New Movie Crew dive into the film, while Jeff wades into the Swamp of Sadness and goes bobbing for butt-hurt fans.

Episode 41: Justice League

Or: A Meditation on the Nature of Heroism and Invisible Mustache Rides.

Scott and Jeff discuss the new Star Wars movie, Han Solo: Why?, then make Star Trek: Discovery and The Orville square off and fight like Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em Robots. Afterwards, the New Movie Crew gives Justice League a lot of mixed signals, but decide they might go home with it anyway because it's almost closing time, when Jeff is suddenly sucked away by a storm like Dorothy Gale.

The Great Drywall

Jeff is missing!  Blanche has had Drambuie on an empty stomach! And China's elite Color Swatch Squad is fighting monsters on the Great Wall while tasting the rainbow. Mary has nostalgic news about Star Wars toys, everybody puts on suspenders and defends their favorite underrated Sci Fi films from the death penalty, and Matt Damon makes a special appearance to collect his check.

Format is thrown out the window as the New Movie Crew descends on the remake of The Magnificent Seven and skeletonizes it like a school of piranha.

Song by Nick Gage and Scott Lamps

Five intelligent, opinionated film fans, two DC Films (The Killing Joke and Suicide Squad), and a song that would have made the titular fight in Batman v Superman a million times better.  ‘Nuff said.
