Next week: Ridin' solo?!

Hey! Why'd they replace that fella? Or... hey, I love that they replaced that fella! Or... it's weird that they replaced that fella with THAT fella! Yes, the guys talk all about recasting in its various forms like replacing Robin Williams, elderly people in Lord of the Flies and much more.

What movies were doing just fine until they hired a pesky creative team to mess it all up? Would they have been fine as a solid premise alone? I don't know the answer. I'm just the guy who writes the descriptions. Listen to the episode and find out? I'm not your mom.

Ah yes, 2025. What a year for great film.
Wait, that's not what we do...
The guys start the year off correctly by talking about the cream of the crap for the previous year of cinema, starting off with Mel Gibson's Flight Risk. Did Mel really need AI for a moose... and a MOTEL?! Why is the vetting process for pilots this awful? What is with that bald cap? Why in the world was Hasan played by a different voice actor and physical actor? This movie is a mess!
Next week: music is the soundtrack of movies.

What movies made you take a step back and say... "huh? I just don't get the hype." Guaranteed to enrage you all, the hosts read from listener-submitted haterade for comic book movies, untouchable classics and maybe some genuinely overhyped blockbusters are in there as well? Maybe? Don't hate us.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, it's not December. It's November... and that means GAMERA! This year, the fellas dive in to Gamera vs. Jiger, a movie which is also apparently sponsored by Expo '70 considering all the airtime and stock footage it receives in the film. The guys discuss Gamera and Jiger's sexual encounter, people entering Gamera's body and... you know what, this episode's pretty spicy. Best put the young 'uns to bed.
Next week: don't show that on a plane!

The cringe forced laughter and the refusal to acknowledge that Tony Alva and Christian Hosoi were in the film makes this unbearable to listen too
