We’ve clearly been kidnapped by aliens and replaced with clones who are much better at watching movies, because this week we caught up on a show that’s only four years old, and watched a movie that’s still in the theater.

Send us a textIs Wes Anderson BACK??? After two movies we didn't love, we were feeling apprehensive about his latest flick. Does he deliver?? Listen to find out

This week Bob and Matt dissect three very different cinematic releases: Wes Anderson's pastel chaos, a deep-sea implosion doc, and a tech bro fever dream masquerading as a movie. ⏱️ Chapter Markers: 00:00 – 17:45 | The Phoenician Scheme Wes is back with a hand grenade. Bob breaks down the “Wes Venn Diagram,” Matt praises the comedic rhythm, and Michael Cera steals the show. Bonus: eyebrow analysis and a Benedict Cumberbatch wig appreciation moment. 17:46 – 32:20 | Titan Sub Disaster (Netflix) Implosions, PlayStation controllers, and corporate delusion. Bob relives learning about the story in an escape room, and Matt explores the horrifying audio build-up to tragedy. An unexpectedly gripping doc with more tension than most action films. 32:21 – 41:44 | Mountainhead (Max) Billionaires with soup spoons, gobbledygook dialogue, and a plot so muddled even subtitles tap out. Bob is out, Matt is… somewhat amused. The guys debate whether it's satire, nonsense, or both—and if Steve Carell can save it. (Spoiler: maybe not.)

MOVIE MIKE'S MOVIE PODCAST: Mike was recently inspired by the Paul Reubens’ documentary after learning about Pee Wee’s Big Adventure being such an important first film for Tim Burton. He shared what directors he believes made the biggest splashes with their debut studio films, why he thinks the Oscars are wrong about animation and what new directors are just heating up. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about The Phoenician Scheme from one of his favorite directors Wes Anderson. Benicio Del Toro plays a wealthy and maligned industrialist Zsa Zsa Korda , who, after surviving one too many assassination attempts by rivals, names his forgotten daughter as his sole heir-over his eight sons. Mike talks about if Wes Anderson is still cool, where it ranks among his most recent films and why Michael Cera was born for this role. In the Trailer Park, Mike and Kelsey talk about Wicked: For Good, going to see Wicked on Broadway this summer and how it lines up with The Wizard of Oz. New Episodes Every Monday!

In this eye-opening episode of RugPull Radio, GMoney sits down with Andrew from Freedom with Equity to explore how decentralized finance, homesteading, and barter systems are helping Americans opt out of the rigged corporate-state matrix. Andrew shares his journey from digital entrepreneur to self-sufficient community builder, offering practical insights on escaping the debt trap and reclaiming true freedom. The conversation covers a wide range of freedom-focused topics, like why owning land is a hedge against tyranny, how local commerce is a bulwark against CBDCs, and what it really takes to build parallel economies that work. Andrew breaks down the psychological and spiritual warfare embedded in modern finance, exposing the predatory design of fiat currency and the illusion of consumer wealth. From strategic prep to value-for-value networks, this episode is packed with ideas and inspiration for those ready to unplug from the system and take ownership of their future. Whether you're a seasoned prepper or just waking up to the con, Andrew's message is clear: freedom starts with equity, and equity starts with action.

We went to the theaters this week to watch Wes Anderson's latest "The Phoenician Scheme." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this mini-episode, we dive into THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME—breaking down what worked, what didn't, and whether it's worth a watch. We explore the cast's performances, the film's pacing, standout moments, and the effectiveness of its political and thriller elements. From the tension to the twists, we give our honest take on the story, characters, and overall impact. Tune in for a sharp, no-fluff review of this latest thriller hit.

THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME marks Wes Anderson's thirteenth feature film (if you count the collection of 4 shorts based on Roald Dahl stories he did for Netflix in 2024 as one film). Benicio Del Toro stars as wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda who decides to appoint his only daughter, a nun, as sole heir to his estate. As Korda embarks on a dubious new enterprise (the scheme of the title) he & his daughter become the target of rival tycoons, foreign terrorists, & determined assassins. We've got a review plus some movie news and a recommendation of a film you might want to seek out. Recommendation from our hosts in this episode - The Ballad of Wallis Island Footcandle Film Society

Renowned constitutional law professor Dr. John Eastman delves into the shocking news Just the News broke regarding revelations from the FBI concerning election integrity and foreign interference, particularly focusing on China's alleged attempts to influence the 2020 election through mail-in voting schemes. Eastman shares his insights on the implications of these findings, the ongoing fight for election integrity, and the challenges faced by those who dare to expose these issues. With the rising tensions between Israel and Iran, Colonel Rob Maness, a United States Air Force veteran and host of the Rob Maness Show, discusses the implications of recent military actions, the shifting alliances in the region, and the potential for internal change within Iran. Colonel Maness shares his insights on the strategic decisions being made by the U.S. and Israel, as well as the challenges that lie ahead.
