We finally watched "2001: A Space Odyssey"! Jared has been putting it off for ages because he was too nervous to watch it, which is kind of silly. Ian, on the other hand, hasn’t seen it in forever and isn’t super familiar with the rest of Stanley Kubrick's movies. We also chatted about our month of binge-watching Denis Villeneuve's films and what we’re thinking of watching next.

Woah! An early release of the next pod? Of course, we had to feed the machine and get our reaction to the best Christmas movie in recent years. While we officially wrap up the holiday season, we look forward to our new movie challenge for 2025 and dive deeper into our thoughts on Robert Eggers' latest feature, Nosferatu. How does it stack up against his other films, and has he cemented his legacy as one of our finest modern filmmakers?

It's a big episode with a ton of movies discussed! Ian is finally back from his long work trip, and Jared has been grinding through his horror month watches. First things first, homework! Ian had the pleasure of watching James Wan's Malignant, and Jared rewatched Luca Guadagnino's remake of 1997's Suspiria. Did they like their respective assignments? Next, the boys discussed the two horror franchises (Terrifier & Scream) they watched throughout October. Of course, Jared had many other watches, but who cares?

Jared is realizing that the Alien franchise is not very good. Ian watches the Star Wars prequel trilogy just to complain about George Lucas. Who do you think should be cast as the next Angels in the Charlie's Angels reboot?
