It's part one of our holiday gift exchange! The gifts that Brock gave Jason were the films: Mami Wata, Only the River Flows, and Suzhou River. Also discussions about the Letterboxd rental program, MoviePass, and Police Academy 5: Mission to Moscow. They all connect...somehow.

Another episode, another Altman film. This time, the forgotten/under seen, Images from 1972, starring Susannah York and Renee Auberjonois. We also talk two new films: The Smashing Machine (the first solo-Safdie), and the latest from Yorgos Lanthimos, Bugonia. And we touch on the QT vs. Paul Dano affair and which billionaire controls the future of movies.

We're back with a double feature of Good Boys: Good Boy (2022) and Good Boy (2025). And we also continue our journey into the early-Alts with Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Brock's dog, Marcy, asks the question: what about good girls? And was Ed Burns too good looking?

On today's episode: three films that ask the question: yes, but at what cost? Albeit in very different ways. We're talking "Him," Spike Lee's Kurosawa re-imagining, "Highest 2 Lowest," and our first trip to the early Alts with Robert Altman's "Mash." At least one of these films was fun to watch.

We're a little late to the party, but, hey, we were busy--we finally talk 'Together', and 'Weapons' Two buzzy horror films. We also look back at 1994s 'The Crow.' And also, Brock apologizes to Chloe Zhao. He hopes she forgives him.
