This week we cover another guest recommendation, this one from Mike "The Ster" O'Donnell, and the only movie we've ever covered that both of us have seen before in order to answer the question: does it hold up? Worth a listen for the 13min mark alone.

This week we discuss a film starring one of the all-time great figures of DBMN lore, this one written and directed by one of the most interesting and divisive filmmaking talents of his generation, Rian Johnson. Come for a charming caper starring Mark Ruffalo, stay for Rachel Weisz giving a towering tour de force performance that deserved far more attention than it got.

This week we revisit the intensity of 1970's Dustin Hoffman as we cover one of his more underappreciated performances, and one that might have become our new favorite of his. We're talking STRAIGHT TIME (#14 on the board), directed by Ulu Grosbard and co-starring the incredible Theresa Russell and Big Dawg Harry Dean Stanton.

This week we cover the only Algerian winner of the Best Foreign Film Oscar and one of the most scathing indictments of nationalism and fascism ever put to film. We're talking Z (#3 on the board), the not so veiled political allegory by Greek filmmaker Costa-Gavras. This one is well worth a watch leading up to the 2024 election as a great reminder of how fragile the line between freedom and tyranny can be.

For the first time on the show we cover a sequel, and not just any sequel, but the third entry in one of Jared and Drew's favorite film series, ALIEN 3 (#5 on the board). After receiving mixed to bad reviews upon release, how does David Fincher's debut film hold up through a modern lens?

We're back baby! After a far too long hiatus we're back with our episode on 1984's Oscar Best Picture winner, AMADEUS (#7 on the board). This one is possibly the furthest apart we've been on a movie (the only other contender is MOULIN ROUGE), choose your side cause you're almost definitely going to fully disagree with one of us.
P.S. the Jiminy Glick segment we reference in the episode is included after the credits.
