Review

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is here and we dig into the plot, the characters, the themes, the movies, and what the anthology movies mean for the saga and Star Wars in general!

Avengers: Age of Ultron is here and we've assembled the summer blockbuster panel to — Georgia Dow, Guy English, Clayton Morris, Rene Ritchie, and Dave Wiskus — to review it. Got no strings on us!

Legend is Ridley Scott's 1985 fantasy adventure starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, and Tim Curry. So gather round as a bunch of nerds who require the solace of the night get together to talk about it, and it's much better Director's Cut. With Don Melton, Matt Drance, Guy English, and Rene Ritchie.

We could talk about men's fashions and industrialization all day, but sadly Christmas must intrude. And by that we mean the best 80s Christmas movie of them all — Die Hard! In other words: Ho. Ho. Ho. Now we have a podcast! With Don Melton, Matt Drance, Guy English, and Rene Ritchie.

Wolfgang Petersen's The NeverEnding Story, based on the book by Michael Ende, involves quests to save the world, flights on Luck Dragons, and shouting Moonchild! at the top of your lungs. 30 years later, how does it hold up? Don Meltion, Guy English, Matt Drance, and Rene Ritchie discuss!

Castle manages to escape cliffhanger hell, and not just the character, SHIELD is actually… not bad again? (Though cautious pessimism remains.) More on Arrow, Flash, and Gotham, and catching up on Doctor Who. With Dave Wiskus and Rene Ritchie.

If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? Chances are everyone knows that answer, because in the 30 years since it debuted Ghostbusters can become one of the most iconic movies of the 80s. And Don, Matt, Guy, and Rene are crossing the streams to talk all about it!

With the new TV season starting, this’ll be our last top-to-bottom Who show, so we go out on a… what do you call a mix of weird and often maddening new Doctor episodes exactly? From demented Daleks (again!) to golden arrows to childhood terrors, we try to figure out what’s going on… and why!

The Day of the Doctor brings together Ten and Eleven, and introduces War. How do they handle rubber He-Man monsters? Time of the Doctor has Matt Smith's last stand. Can Moffat payoff on The Silence and Question? And Peter Capaldi's run as Twelve starts off with a giant t-rex in London and a new big bad. Does the latest Doctor get off to a good start?

Ad hoc is our movie and entertainment show and this episode we're talking everything from Kevin Jarre’s enormous script to George P.

With a stacked cast and absolutely killer dialog, was it a hell of a western-meets-action movie blend, or was it not no daisy at all? Find out!
