  • Connor & Jon get sent to space prison or Manhattan prison as they examine the weird Euro-action b-movie Lockout, and it's definite point of inspiration Escape from New York. They examine the actual legal action that was taken against Lockout and decipher how original of an idea did Luc Besson have?

  • Connor & Jon mosey on down to the ol' West/feudal Japan to consume one of the greatest spaghetti Westerns of all time: A Fistful of Dollars! Since there was a legal dispute over this film, does it automatically make it a rip off of Yojimbo? Connor gets way too worked up over a Rotten Tomatoes Top 100 list, Jon wants to propose to Morricone's score, and the two try to hold the show together through Covid and technical malfunctions.

  • Connor & Jon dive into the big blue with Michael Kelley to discuss the aquatic cinematic masterpiece: Finding Nemo. Of course there is a fair amount of discussion on the state of animation, Michael tells how the film affected his relationship with his family, Connor just wants to talk about the score, and Jon can't remember all of Dory's misremembered names for Nemo.

    WARNING: Major spoilers for Finding Nemo

  • Connor & Jon are joined by Alan Sisto and Shawn Marchese of The Prancing Pony Podcast to talk about the Middle Earth Masterpiece: The Return of the King. The four ponder the strange filmic history of The Lord of the Rings. Shawn and Alan use Tolkien's letter to Ackerman to evaluate whether Jackson did a good job of adapting the books. Connor gushes over the sound design and Jon's mind is changed on the ending of the film.

  • Connor & Jon go straight to the heart of Gotham City with Zack Reed to discuss The Dark Knight. Zack remembers the days of old where he could just look at this as a "cool movie." Jon can't stop obsessing over the geography changes throughout the trilogy and how Gotham is essentially Chicago. Connor just wonders where other superhero films went wrong.

  • Connor & Jon enter the fantastical world of Pandora with Chris Ridings as their guide. Chris shows off his Avatar merch, Jon re-evaluates the cultural impact of the film, and Connor wishes that it would commit to a harsher ending for the sake of the environmental theme.
