Wicked is on the horizon, but with the recent flops and the industry hell-bent on trying to bury the lead on whether a film is a musical or not, are musicals dead?

A very special guest demands the boys dive deep into the rise of Indie cinema and it's effects on modern film.

Yeah, a pretty picture can elevate an already great script, but can a well shot film save a steaming pile of trash?

Hold onto your Snikts, bub! We're breaking the fourth wall and tumbling head first into 00's Marvel Limbo where all long-extinct properties go to die and then get resurrected again by the all glorious mouse!

Anxiety takes the wheel as the boys delve deep back into the mindset of being a teenager. But in a fun, PG, Pixar/Disney kind of way. Has Inside Out 2 managed to cement itself as a necessary sequel, earning it's spot in the echelon of billion dollar projects? Or is this another quick Disney shortcut more interested in making the line go up than having anything new and interesting to say? Follow us: @NothingNegPod on Twitter and Letterboxd!

Is western media out of ideas? Are english-language films bankrupt of style? Are foreign films simply better? Ben & Brendan field a call that asks: Why is foreign cinema finally getting more popular?

The boys have crawled out of their maggot farm holes to hoon and goon it straight to the cinemas to see the latest George Miller Mad-Maxian Masterpiece, Furiosa! Are they able to keep things positive through this post-apocalyptic Odyssey, or will these gasoline soaked deserts leave them thirsting for something more like its predecessor?

The boys are putting down the Sokovia Accords and picking up their dslr cameras as Ben and Brendan put themselves in the shoes of Photo Journalists on the way to document the final days of the United States.

Cancel your eurotrip, Godzilla is on the loose! The boys decide to up their Titan insurance plan and sell off that time-share in Rio de Janeiro as Godzilla and Kong wreak havoc yet again across the globe (and under it).
