    Aug 18 2025

    In this one-off Better Than Gigli deep dive, we grab our space helmets and bandanas to explore the inexplicable, unproduced fever dream that is Ice Cube’s War of the Worlds. We talk alien invasions with West Coast swagger, debate whether tripod walkers would be improved with hydraulics and spinning rims, and imagine what happens when “Today Was a Good Day” meets “The End of the World as We Know It.” Join us as we break down the premise, the potential, and why—even if the film never got made—it still might have been better than Gigli.

    🎙️ New Episode: Red, White & Reel — Right-Wing Cinema Explored
    This week on Pass, Pirate, Pay, Ken and the gang dive headfirst into the world of right-wing cinema with a triple feature that’s as ideologically loaded as it is conversation-worthy. First up, the vigilante fantasy Sound of Freedom — a box office juggernaut that sparked a culture war. Then it's on to Sovereign, a lesser-known indie film with liberty on the brain and paranoia in its veins. Finally, Eddington rounds out the lineup with a stoic, flag-waving take on American exceptionalism. Are these films propaganda, passion projects, or something in between? Tune in as we debate what’s worth your time, what’s worth pirating, and what you can safely pass.
