An attempt to dissect the PROFOUNDLY dissapointing cinematic lunar cycle that was June 2023.

A final assessment of the 2010's. Including the honorable mentions, the Mount Rushmore list of films of the decade, and my personal favorite movie of the decade.
In the penultimate episode, screenwriters Anthony and Kaylah Cantu stop by once again to give their opinions on the decade as a whole. Amongst the things discussed are the underrated films, the best scenes & performances, more BS films, and much more.
A worthy attempt to somehow document ALL OF THE S*** that happened in what was the most eventful, and consistently entertaining year of film of the 2010's. A year that might also be the most impactful year of film to come along in a very, very, long time.
An exploration of the genre that had (BY FAR) the largest amount of gutter trash theatrical releases throughout the 2010's. Also, I got questions for you recalcitrant horror fanatics that may help you to make better choices.
Conclusion. THE top 5 individual movie scenes of the decade. FEATURING: A detailed look at both the best comedic and dramatic scenes of the decade. A masterful ending that was utterly ruined. A brilliant comedic scene from a dead serious leading man. And quite possibly the definitive pop culture moment of the decade itself.
A list of the top 10 Individual scenes of the 2010's. Also, a rundown of the cultural impact and cinematic influence that certain scenes have had over the past 40 years or so, leading into the 2010's. (And scenes that were worthy of honorable mentions. There were waaaay too many great scenes to just keep it to 10)
Conclusion. More rundowns of the most bull**** movies of the decade, and the things that make bull**** movies appear so frequently. (Including a Star Wars rant that may have started a beef between me and the sound engineer)
An exploration of the things that can turn good (if not potentially great) movies, with good intentions...into movies that are irredeemable disappointments that are deeply submerged in bull****. Also, examples of some of the biggest bull**** movies of the 2010's. (Recorded while being all up in my feelings...and after two beers on an empty stomach)
A look back at game changing film moments of the past 40 years or so, all leading up to the year of 2008. A year that gave us the ONE movie scene that changed the business for the following decade (or decades) to come.
I am joined by husband and wife screenwriting duo Anthony and Kaylah Cantu to further discuss what it takes to be "The Guy". Also, a breakdown of the 2012 film Battleship. A film (Like so many others) specifically designed to forcefully push someone to be "The Guy" and how it (Like so may others) fail in doing so. (Recorded on location. Apologies for sound inconsistencies)
An observation on the steps one must take in order to become the biggest star in Hollywood, and what having the title actually means. Also, a brief history of the men who've held that title over the course of time leading into the 2010's...an entire decade of failed attempts to crown the next king.
Filmmaker/Writer Travis Lockhart stops by to add in his two cents on the "8 years of failure", and how cinematic black excellence is portrayed nowadays.
An observation of the iconic (yet ultimately negative, and culturally damaging) black films from 1991-1998.
A little history on what may seem to be an oddly named Podcast, and also some background on the host as well. (Quarantine home audio, be forewarned)
