Will & Jared discuss a Netflix original that is already being hailed as one of the best films of the year: Rebel Ridge! The film follows a black veteran harassed by police in a small southern town, forcing him to bring down the corrupt officers that threaten him and those close to him.
Is this modern take on Rambo: First Blood a thoughtful thriller or contemporary copaganda? Why is the internet so divided on the ending and where do Will and Jared stand on it? Who was originally cast as the lead in the film and then abruptly left halfway through filming for "vague" reasons? Listen to find out!

Will & Jared discuss what many are calling the scariest film of the year: Longlegs! Longlegs follows a gifted young FBI agent as she attempts to unravel satanic clues to stop a decades-long killing spree. Afterwards, Will also gives a quick review of Twisters in 4DX.
Is the dark, eerie Longlegs a testament to serial killer thrillers of the 90s? Or is it a half-baked Silence of the Lambs wannabe? Does Nicolas Cage give a stellar performance as an unhinged killer, or is this another of his straight-to-video bargain bin flicks? Listen to find out!
Longlegs is available on VOD everywhere.

Did anything crazy happen in the last few weeks since our most recent episode? Did we forget to mention that Barry Keoghan is in his thirties and should probably stop playing teenagers?

Will & Jared are joined by Kyle Walker to discuss Christopher Nolan's twisty turn-of-the-century rival magician film, The Prestige!
In this follow up to Batman Begins, Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman star as London magicians determined to constantly outmaneuver each other after a tragic accident, perhaps at any cost. The film also stars Michael Caine, Andy Serkis, and David Bowie as Nikola Tesla.
Why did Kyle select this movie for the pod? How different is the plot in the book? Which brother survives in the end? How many viewings did it take each of us to realize the OTHER twist? Does Jared successfully pull off a Prestige of his own? Listen to find out!Email the show at [email protected]

After demands from the fans and a brief hiatus, Will & Jared have decided to cover the big budget Netflix original Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver.
Does Zack Snyder's Seven Samurai in Space work everything out by the end of this second film? Or are we left half asleep and denied the dignity of a real ending in lieu of a cliffhanger for another sequel? (And another? And another?!). Did Will or Jared come away from this film with a newfound respect for director Zack Snyder? Are there some absolutely baffling scenes and plot points that Jared is going to bring up multiple times?

Folks, have we got a jam packed episode for you this week. Will and Jared sit down to do two Dunes at the same time! We're covering both of Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi adaptations of the hit novel with Dune (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024).
Does the third (forth?) attempt to bring Frank Herbert's beloved-but-batshit novel to the big screen actually work? Does splitting the novel into two films feel satisfying or like a shameless cash grab? Can Jared ever settle on a pronunciation for Villeneuve'? Listen to find out!

Will & Jared, avid Godzilla and kaiju stans, are here to discuss the newest film in the Legendary MonterVerse franchise currently topping the box office: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire!
Does the film surpass Godzilla: King of the Monsters? Or is it simply a serviceable follow up to Godzilla vs Kong? Is the franchise in capable hands of returning director Adam Wingard?

"If you make money from war, you're scum. If you can't make money from podcasting, you're an idiot!"
Will & Jared return to the works of Hayao Miyazaki, and this time they're joined by their good friend Dan, to discuss the Studio Ghibli film Porco Rosso!
This adventurous and romantic film follows the exploits of a World War 1 veteran pilot , who happens to have the head of a pig, as he chases down pirates and avoids the fascist Italian Air Force in the Adriatic Sea alongside his budding young mechanic, Fio.
Why is Porco Rosso an overlooked film in the body of work of Ghibli and Miyazaki? Does this thirty year old animated film hold up to modern standards? Can it hold the attention of children, or should it have committed to being more adult oriented? Was Porco a good movie for someone that sees about three movies a year? Listen to find out!

Jared is sick and Will is out of town for a convention, but it will take more than that to stop Debaser! In a rare solo episode, Jared discusses a film he recently viewed for the first time, Michael Mann's 1999 film The Insider.
Could this big budget Disney biopic be the 1990s version of All The President's Men? Is this Al Pacino's best performance in a lifetime of great performances? Did tobacco company executives know that cigarettes are both addictive and unhealthy? Listen to find out!
