This week, Da7e was off seeing Black Phone 2 where Ethan Hawke stalks the snowbound dreams of Colorado teens, and the other co-hosts make fun of him for it. First, Katey wants to talk about one of her favorite TV shows of the year, the five-part series Mr. Scorsese on Apple TV Plus. Then, Patches has his kids watching The Brady Bunch – how do we feel about that? Finally, the boys ventured back to the grid for the third time in 43 years with Tron: Ares – did Nine Inch Nails make the outing worth it? They saw Tron: Ares so you didn’t have to (and – judging from the box office – didn’t).

This week, Patches and Da7e have been watching the old Nightmare on Elm Street sequels on HBO Max and Patches wonders if we’re missing something in modern horror. Then, Patches and David got to meet the stars of K-Pop Demon Hunters in New York, did they earn more cred with their kids? Finally, Katey, David, and Da7e have seen The Smashing Machine and debate the movie’s high aspirations as a character piece with a puzzling execution.

This week, everyone is back in the war room! The guys talk about Season 1 of Alien: Earth which has recently concluded on Hulu and it seems like they’re mostly positive on it. Then, we get a dispatch from Patches’ father who has seen The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Finally, in a long segment that assumes you have also seen One Battle After Another, the hosts discuss Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest. AGAIN – SPOILERS – SEE ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER FIRST IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT PLOT SPOILERS.
