This week we re-evaluate a critically maligned film upon release from one of Jared and Drew's favorite filmmakers, Alexander Payne, to see if we agree with its panning, or if it's actually an unsung masterpiece. We're talking 2017's DOWNSIZING (#18 on the board), starring Matt Damon, Hong Chau, and Christoph Waltz.

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.
