This week, we have replaced a still-absent David with Ben Hosley from the Blank Check podcast and producer/creator of the Slow Xmas music project or “bit” that we also discuss on this episode.

Ben also saw (pun not intended) the Chainsaw Man movie and informs Katey, Da7e, and Patches about this anime hit that beat out Bugonia at the box office when it was released. Then, your three regular co-hosts talk about Hamnet and if their hearts were ripped out of their bodies by pure emotion or not. We talk about the end, I guess, but even the director Chloe Zhao says this movie can’t be spoiled.

This week, David is out but Katey is back in, even after spending a stressful week reorganizing her community to respond to the governments immigration enforcement thugs. For a mini-segment, Patches is anticipating another AVATAR movie this year and is wondering if that kind of blockbuster motion-capture movie can be replicated after James Cameron is done. Finally, the three members of the podcast who liked Bugonia the most take advantage of David Ehrlich’s absence to talk about what they liked about it.

This week, Katey had to be out to see movies, but the boys return to the virtual war room to talk about Predator: Badlands (in theaters now!) and Frankenstein (on Netflix now!). David also asks why we only seem to remake movies that were okay to begin with. Slight spoilers for Badlands and Frankenstein sprinkled throughout, but nothing ruining as we’re just praising Badlands and talking about a Frankenstein story that is pretty well known at this point.

This week, Patches and Katey flew out to Denver to join Da7e, Denver Film Festival Artistic Director Matthew Campbell, and Denver Film Festival CEO Kevin Smith to have a conversation about fighting about movies in front of a live audience. We haven’t done that in over a decade!
This week’s episode was recorded live, but the pauses when the audience was speaking that were not picked up by the mics were deleted.
