We think it's one of our most enjoyable discussions yet.Fans of the show should stay to the end for a callback to episode 52 ;D

Welcome to our (mostly) SPOILER FREE discussion of Avengers: Endgame. We’ll discuss specific character and plot details at a later date in part 2. If you haven’t seen the film yet, we do a pretty good job of dancing around the details. However, if you’re highly sensitive to even the tiniest hint of a spoiler, come back to this episode after you’ve seen the film. For everyone else, please enjoy an unusually spoiler considerate look at the film.

We take a look at the much maligned and oft ignored James Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." Turns out, this entry is a must see for the discerning Bond connoisseur.Full SPOILERS in this episode.

Batman is Dick Cheney in Adam McKay's Vice, and we have some thoughts - some of them good, but...

Oatman and L.J. disagree about Godless, a western, limited series from Netflix. SPOILERS begin pretty early at the 4:15 minute mark. TRIGGER WARNING: we discuss some of the dark subject matter in the series including murder and rape.

Turns out we didn't actually watch all the films last year, so here's the definitive best 2018 films seen by us. If we didn't pick your favorite film, I have great news: you picked your favorite film for you. We all win!

Finally, our SPOILER filled episode about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Oatman has questions.

We look at "Glass," the third film in M. Night Shyamalan’s "Unbreakable" trilogy. Does he recapture his late 90’s magic? I’ll give you one guess.

A brief episode this week about a couple entertainment related holiday memories. We'll be taking a couple weeks off for the holidays, but we'll be back early-ish in January.Warning: The sound quality is not great for this episode. We had to record on a phone. If you find it to be un-listenable, we apologize. The episodes will be back to normal in the new year.

The guys offer Creed II some modest praise, but first, L.J. has an important message about pharmacy checkout etiquette.

This week we start with a few corrections about name pronunciations and Three Days of the Condor before moving on to myriad topics including: Jamie Foxx and Paul Giamatti in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Neil Armstrong vs. Wyatt Earp, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Top Gun 2, Creed 2, and our qualifications for political office.

We discuss the DC Animated film "Batman: Bad Blood," a pseudo-sequel to "Son of Batman." Warning: we get into spoilers very early in this episode.

Content Warning: This episode contains brief references to sexual abuse that happens in the film.We discuss Tommy Lee Jones’ second directorial effort, The Homesman. SPOILERS begin at the 08:10 minute mark.

A bit of an unusual episode this week. This episode is actually a bit of a Nostalgia fueled discussion of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Both of us have been rewatching that show. Just prior to our discussion of the new Picard show, I turned on the mics a little early in the middle of a discussion we were having about an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation in which Q does something nice for Picard. It's an episode called tapestry, and Oatman was making the argument that it was out of character for Q. He was actually doing something nice which is not something he's known for, so we're going to start right smack-dab in the middle of that conversation and transition very neatly right into our discussion of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Please to enjoy.

Because Oatman demanded it, we finally take a look at the DC animated film Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox. SPOILERS begin at the 7:30 minute mark. Other topic discussed: Star Trek: Voyager

We discuss the announced Star Trek spinoff show about Picard…and a few old sitcoms for some reason. Other topics discussed: MASH, After MASH, Three’s Company

We discuss the DC Animated Film Batman Ninja. The combination of Batman and anime is to cinema - what the combination of chocolate and peanut butter is to cinema. If that doesn’t make sense, buckle up. SPOILERS begin at the 24:40 minute mark. Other topics discussed: After Earth Unbreakable Split M Night Shyamalan Van Helsing Sherlock Holmes

We discuss Boots Riley’s "Sorry to Bother You." Here’s a question: is it too ambitious or WAY too ambitious? SPOILERS begin at the 7:40 minute mark. Other topics discussed: Boots Riley’s feud with Spike Lee, BlacKkKlansman, Brazil, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

We discuss the DC animated film "Batman: Gotham by Gaslight" in which Batman takes on Jack the Ripper. SPOILERS begin at the 9:37 minute mark. Other topics discussed: UPN’s Nowhere man, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker

We discuss Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman. Is it subtly brilliant or an atonal mess? Also, due to the political nature of the film, we do wander onto some political topics for just a bit (fair warning), but we also find time to talk about Waterworld, so there’s something for everyone. SPOILERS begin at the 17:35 minute mark. Other topics discussed: Spider-man: Homecoming, Kevin Costner, Postman, Waterworld, Wyatt Earp

We take a long hard look at the DC Animated film, "Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay." It may be rated R, but that doesn’t mean it’s mature, and maybe that’s okay. SPOILERS begin at the 17:15 minute mark. Other topics discussed: Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, Deadshot vs. Deathstroke vs. Deadpool, Dr. Fate

This week Oatman was out of town, and time was limited. The good news: there’s still an episode. The bad news: we had to resort the dirtiest trick TV producers ever pulled. We made a clip show. The also good news: It’s still a good episode. And hey, if you haven’t heard some of these clips, it’s new to you.

Ethan Hunt may have lost a step, but he’s still the best runner in the spy business.

As season 2 of "Star Trek Discovery" approaches, we turn our critical eye toward the first season of this CBS All Access original series. Is it the show we’ve been waiting for, or should choosy "Star Trek" fans choose something else? SPOILERS begin at minute mark 8:03. Other topics discussed: Heist, TOS, TNG, DS9, Enterprise, Klingon and Ferengi retcons

This week we debate the virtues of Tag - starring Ed Helms, Jeremy Renner, and Isla Fisher. Finally, we examine the age-old question about filmmakers: is competence enough? Other topics discussed: Chris Farley, Black sheep, Tommy Boy, Adam Sandler, Three Stooges

Only one of us hates the latest Marvel joint, "Ant-Man and the Wasp." But which one? The answer may surprise you. (The other merely doesn’t much care for it.) Other topics discussed: Star Trek; Avengers: Infinity War; Thor: The Dark World; Justice League; Space: 1999

We talk Incredibles 2 this week, though we immediately get off track with a heated debate about the nature of animated films. That’s right: heated! Other topics discussed: Fast and Furious, Wall-e, Toy Story 3, Black Panther, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Iron Giant, Princess Mononoke

We take on the animated adaptation of "Batman: The Killing Joke." Will Batman finally cross the line and kill The Joker? It turns out, there’s a real debate about that point. We also examine: just how bad is Batman’s sense of humor? Other topics discussed: Prince; Batgirl; Commissioner Gordon

Join us for a SPOILER filled discussion of the Netflix original film "Mute" directed by Duncan Jones. If you haven’t yet seen the film, let us save you the time. Sure, we spoil the film, but you were never gonna watch it anyway. Let us do it for you. Topics discussed: Mute – Science fiction tropes Moon Blade Runner

We examine Sandra Bullock's follow up to the George Clooney trilogy in Ocean's 8. In this episode, witness Oatman steal L.J.'s roll of the curmudgeon. (He has some strong feelings about the film.) Did anybody else notice that George started at 11, but Sandra only gets 8? Hmm. Other topics discussed: The Book Club Jane Fonda Ghostbusters Kevin Costner Waterworld The Postman Wyatt Earp Tombstone Melissa McCarthy

The disrespect is evident this week as we have a surprisingly heated conversation about Deadpool 2 - everything from potentially misogynist storytelling tropes to surprising soundtrack cues. Bonus content: stick around all the way to the end to hear L.J. express genuine enthusiasm for something. (I know, right!?)

We watched "Solo: A Star Wars Story," and we feel obligated to tell you about the experience. We also debate the finer points of two competing productions of Hamlet from the 90’s (for some reason). Fair warning: We start with a fairly spoiler free discussion, but at the 16:30 mark, we get into heavy spoiler territory. If you haven’t seen it and don’t wish to be spoiled, pause it there and come back later (we also warn you in the episode right before the spoiler section)
