We end the podcast with a celebration of the films of 2021. We run through a bunch of fun categories, then end by listing our favorite films of the year. It has been so much fun hosting this show, and we'd like to thank every one of our listeners!

Franchise Fatigue will be ending shortly. Here Gabe and James discuss all the details as to why, and what to expect in future. 

We wrap up our journey through The Wizarding World with the highly controversial 2nd installment of the Fantastic Beasts spin-off series. A complicated and deeply flawed film that still has much to love and enjoy. 

In this massive episode we are joined once again by Ryan Wall to discuss the first film in the highly controversial Fantastic Beasts spinoff series.

We are joined by Chad Hopkins from The Cinescope Podcast to talk about the fifth entry in the Harry Potter series. David Yates' first installment is a tight, confident and consistently entertaining film that marks an important transition for the series into a singular directorial vision. 

We are joined by Ryan Wall for our discussion of Mike Newell's controversial 4th chapter of the Harry Potter series.  While it is a favorite to some, its not a movie any of us particularly enjoy.

With the Terminator series behind us, we head back to a galaxy far, far away to catch up on the second season of The Mandalorian. In this episode we talk about the first four Chapters of Season 2.  Another excellent season of Star Wars television that might even improve on the first one. 

This week we wrap up our exploration of the Terminator series with Tim Miller's Dark Fate. While its the best film in the series since Judgement Day, does that mean its actually a great addition, or is it damning with faint praise?

Gabe and James try and make sense of Alan Taylor's to reboot the series. Genesys is a messy and bland film that fails to capture what's great about the series at nearly every point. 

We head into the future war to talk about McG's addition to the series. While Salvation brings impressive visuals and excellent action, it suffers in the substance department. 

Gabe and James discuss about the third Terminator film. A definite step down for the series, despite a few stand-out elements. 

Gabe and James take a quick break from the Terminator series to talk about the films of 2020. A rather disappointing year for movies. But there are still some wonderful gems that are well worth celebrating. 

Gabe and James talk about one of the greatest action films of all time. Quite possibly James Cameron's magnum opus, Judgement Day is every bit as entertaining and mind-blowing today as the day it was released. 

We start a new franchise with James Cameron's ground-breaking Sci-Fi action thriller, The Terminator. While its sequel tends to dominate the conversation, this tight, brutal low-budget actioner still delivers on every level today.

We wrap up our journey through the Bourne series with the highly anticipated and equally disappointing return of Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass to the franchise. 

Gabe and James record in person to discuss the ill-fated attempt to spin off the Bourne series with Jeremy Renner.  A film that is not without its qualities, The Bourne Legacy nonetheless fails to capture what made previous entries so unique and exciting. 

James made Gabe watch one of his favorite horror films. 

Gabe and James get together in person to talk about one of the greatest horror films of all time.And as usual for our show, the October horror reviews are going up in November!

This week we talk about the original finale for the Bourne Trilogy. The Bourne Ultimatum is an exhilarating action film that takes everything we love about the series and brings it to the next level. 

In this episode we are again joined by our friend Sam Dodson to talk about Paul Greengrass' introduction to mainstream audiences with the 2nd chapter of the Bourne saga. The Bourne Supremacy is a focused and relentless thriller that has kept its edge over the years, despite constant bad imitations of its signature style. 

This week we begin exploring one of the most influential action franchise of the 2000s.Doug Liman's The Bourne Identity is a fantastic thriller that added a whole new level of realism and intensity to the genre.
