Stranger Things and Ghostbusters

This week, Joanna Robinson continues her reign of Rich-ness as Da7e, David and Patches follow her to a discussion of Netflix's Stranger Things, the recently debuted sci-fi/horror mini-series. Then, Patches wants to know what the last album you listened to all the way through is. Then: We didn't do a Ghostbusters review last week because this week we throw down on Paul Feig's 2016 incarnation.

Plus HBO's Not-Game of Thrones "The Night Of"

This week, Joanna Robinson begins to fill in for Katey (who is out on maternity leave). She's joined by David, Patches and Da7e as they discuss HBO's nine-part crime miniseries The Night Of (no spoilers beyond the premiere!), the sudden popularity of Pokémon Go and why when big franchises change it sometimes upsets us (prompted by the reaction of some people to the new Ghostbusters).

Review – Money Monster and High-Rise

With returning guest Jordan Hoffman!

This week, Dave, Katey, Patches, and special guest Jordan Hoffman of The Guardian invest all their critical thoughts into two cinematic options: Money Monster, the latest from director Jodie Foster, and High-Rise, Ben Wheatley’s dystopian fever dream. Are George Clooney and Julia Roberts feeling bullish? Did Tom Hiddleston charm their pants off? All that and your answers to this week’s Lobster-themed lightning round question, on this week’s review episode.

Ratchet-and-Clank

With Special Guest Chris Plante!

This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David are joined for a third segment by Chris Plante of TheVerge.com because David was forced to see video game film adaptation of Ratchet and Clank and we thought maybe an expert video game opinion was required to answer some of the deeper questions of the film’s mere existence. Before that, the regular four hosts talk about the state of modern theatrical comedy, since Da7e saw Keanu this weekend and was one of the few
