This week we are knocking off another classic shamer, THE KARATE KID (#14 on the board)! Does it hold up through a modern lens? Should this be considered an all time classic? How many times will Jared refer to Johnny Lawrence as Johnny Karate, not knowing that was a Parks and Rec bit? Listen in to find out.

Another shamer off the board! Drew finally watches The Terminator for the first time. Jared confronts his indifference to James Cameron. Technology fails us, almost as though Skynet didn't want you to hear this episode. Good times.

We continue our coverage of Werner Herzog this week with the documentary covering the making of last weeks film, FITZCARRALDO, which works even more perfectly than we expected as a companion piece. We're talking BURDEN OF DREAMS, by documentarian Les Blank.

This week we begin a two part episode covering Werner Herzog's 1982 epic FITZCARRALDO, followed next week by an episode on the documentary BURDEN OF DREAMS, which chronicles the chaos and insanity surrounding the making of FITZCARRALDO. We just couldn't cover one without the other.

We are back after a long break due to some scheduling conflicts to cover one of the more insane films we've ever discussed on the show, TITANE (#17 on the board), the sophomore feature from French filmmaker Julia Ducournau. We have a blast talking about this wild and ostentatious film and finally find out what happens when you have coitus with an automobile.

We get giddy as school children this week as we revel in the wonders of Jackie Chan's 1991 action-adventure film, OPERATION CONDOR (#5 on the board), aka ARMOUR OF GOD 2. Jared and Drew are incapable of not geeking out about this one, which quickly rose in the ranks of our favorite Chan films. An absolute delight of a film.

This week we cover David Lynch's weirdest movie, in that it isn't weird at all. 1999's THE STRAIGHT STORY (#12 on the board) starring Richard Farnsworth in his final film role. A beautiful film, and one of the best performances we've covered on the show.

We're kicking off our second batch of 50 films this week with another debut from celebrated filmmaker. This week we're talking PI (#8 on the board), Darren Aronofsky's debut feature film about a mathematician who believes math can explain our entire existence. A trippy, unsettling, and thought provoking film that is worth a look if you are a fan of Aronofsky's work.
