"HERE IT IS, THE MOVIE YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!" Back in the good old days when Disney was making artistically daring, ambitious animated films that pushed the boundaries of what a kid's movie can get away with.

We were lucky to be joined by Louis and Brandon of The Gory Picture Show for one of the most controversial movies in recent memory THE HUNT (2020). A movie plagued with delays, attacks from the former president, and being dumped at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, which buried its existence, and maybe that's for the better. We take a look at how it straddles the current political divide, what it says (or doesn't say) about America, and even tacky literary references.

With a new Spider-Man movie on the horizon, we swing back to the one that started it all, a movie that had so much hype to live up to and decades worth of production troubles, yet became one of the defining movies of the genre, so much so that Marvel is still using it to sell its new movies. We talk about what the webslinger would've looked like in the hands of Cannon Films and James Cameron, our favorite Spidey memes, and that infamous teaser that needed to be pulled after a national tragedy, as we go for a spin with Sam Raimi's SPIDER-MAN (2002).

On the 10 year anniversary of the release of a film widely beloved by filmbros and Film Twitter obsessives, Mike and Nate take a look at the understated, sleek, and stylish approach that Nicolas Winding Refn took with his modern masterpiece, DRIVE (2011). We discuss the impact this film had on the careers of Refn and Ryan Gosling, its current reputation as the filmbro's introtroductory movie, the film's heavily action-packed marketing campaign, and one woman's insane biblical mission to get her revenge on the filmmakers for deceiving her.
