In this episode, the boys tackle 2024's most polarizing and fascinating film. Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis.' A film that's impossible to describe and even harder to understand. But it might be an end of an era in Hollywood. Also talk of Israel's attacks on Lebanon, the VP debate, Ditty's arrest and Coppola's complicated legacy as a filmmaker and artist.

In this episode, the boys get serious for an episode they have planned since the beginning of the show. 'An Open Secret.' A film that derailed a director's career, sent people to jail and is impossible to find thanks to people richer and more powerful then this podcast. Also talks of Trump constantly getting shot at, Taylor Swift being an American oligarch, evil people getting away with awful crimes and how nothing will change regardless of who's in charge.

In this episode, the boys celebrate a belated 9/11 to talk about one of the greatest movies of the 80s and maybe of all time, Paul Verhoeven's Robocop. A great action movie, cyberpunk satire, religious allegory. It's a masterpiece. Also talks about Trump thinking people are eating dogs, Conservative YouTubers taking money from the Russians, glazing Paul Verhoeven's filmography and why not every successful movie can be a lucrative franchise.

In this episode, the boys take a lunch break to cover 1999's 'Inspector Gadget.' From the director of 'Cool as Ice', an under 80 minute runtime and actors with a decent real life body count. Clearly a production that wasn't doomed from day one right? Also talk about Rupert Everett ruining Guy Richie's life, how Hollywood encourages failing upwards, and how cartoons don't work in live action.

In this episode, the boys finish up their decent into the X-Men franchise with special guest John. This time to cover the 2010s series of movies. Where after a strong start, the fan favorite pedophile director comes back to mixed results and with a buyout of the studio in progress during production of the last entry in this series. It's a mess! Also talk of how liberals are no better then conservatives, the power foreign entities have on the quote "superpower countries", evil filmmakers being rewarded for failure and how the future of capeshit is looking super bleak.

Bryan Singer's 2014 lawsuit: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4151362/john-doe-no-117-v-bryan-singer/

In this episode, the boys continue to grind through the X-Men film franchise with the original 2000s trilogy. Some of it's good, some of it's bad, but the baggage and destruction it's two infamous directors/sex criminals leave behind is undeniable. Also talk of Trump's flying Epstein's plane, new J.D Vance lore, the early B-movie days of Marvel and going through all of the allegations and crimes of both Bryan Singer and Brett Ratner in graphic detail.

In this episode, the boys come back to the world of capeshit with 'Deadpool & Wolverine.' A film that fails to justify it's own existence even in the most basic ways. A total waste of time. Also talk of the UK race riots, Trump's decline in relevance, the dire conditions at Marvel Studios and how post-irony feels like a thing of the past Further Reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s11uIW7wi-E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-ihCI_lApA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_6bscCG7OA

In this episode, what was meant to be a short bonus episode turns into an hour plus of the boys talking about the chaos going on in America. Including Trump almost dying, J.D Vance being the most online politician since Ron Desantis, Kamala Harris capturing the heart of liberals around the world and Liam gets nostalgic for 80-90s wrestling. Also a short bit on the internet's new favorite horror film 'Longlegs' in the last 20 minutes if you're interested.
