447 – Wes Anderson/Roald Dahl Shorts, Exorcist: Believer, Astroid City
Episodes | | 5. October, 2023

This week, we’re circling back to Astroid City for Segment 3, both because it’s readily available to stream and Netflix released FOUR Wes Anderson short films based off Roald Dahl stories. The group talks The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Poison, The Swan, and The Rat Catcher, then takes a break to hear from Da7e and David about this week’s new Exorcist movie, before jumping into trying to make sense of Astroid City.

446 – No One Will Save You, Books!, Past Lives
Episodes | | 28. September, 2023

This week, everyone finally caught up with Past Lives, the Celine Song movie that is now available to rent and we talk about it in Segment 3! Also discussed this week is what we’ve been reading (The Outsider, Honey Baby Mine, and – AHEM – TheMCUBook.com) and the episode kicks off with another Hulu sensation No One Will Save You, a sci-fi thriller with very little dialogue. We have to talk about the ending of both movies this week so BE ON ALERT FOR SPOILER GONGS if you want to skip ahead (timecodes below in the description).

Episodes | | 21. September, 2023

This week, nobody can pronounce anything correctly as the whole team gathers in the War Room. Da7e and Katey have both seen Dumb Money (about the GameStop short squeeze) and give it a little review. The gang attempts to help a listener with documentaries in Vulture’s Movie Fantasy League, then Patches and Da7e have seen A Haunting in Venice and Katey watched Death on the Nile as we try to guess what Kenneth Branagh is doing in his Agatha Christie phase.
