Hello Listener. We want to play a game... This week we spotlight the work of the Master of Modern Horror, James Wan. From "Saw" his mega-franchise launching debut in 2004 to his franchise launching "The Conjuring" and established franchise high points "Aquaman" and "Furious 7," we discuss and dissect Wan's mastery of cinematic language and how he uses it against his audience to scare the crap out of us. What's the scariest movie you've seen? What other filmmaker do you want to hear us cover? You can let us know your thoughts on this episode by emailing in at [email protected]. Check us out on:

What's the plan then? Right. We do the intro, mention Spaced briefly, move on to his movies, talk about how Michael Cera sucks - "I'm so sorry, Michael" - then we disagree about Baby Driver, call out Ansel Elgort, hole up, have a cup of tea and wait for this whole thing to blow over. Oh yea, we are spotlighting Edgar Wright. You can let us know your thoughts on this episode by emailing in at [email protected].

No! We aren't going anywhere so stop asking! This week we dip our toes back into the world of Television. This visit we talk through the treacherous world of TV finales. Some of the most impactful episodes, finales and the final season leading up to them can make or break the legacy of a show. In some cases, you get a cherry on top of a nearly perfect series and a satisfying conclusion to a cast of characters that you have come to know and love. In other cases, you get Game Of Thrones.

This week's episode tackles our most controversial filmmaker yet, outside of Uwe Boll. M. Night Shyamalan has been writing and directing for well over 20 years. His distinctive style and tendencies give the guys plenty to chew on. From young children seeing dead people, to old children seeing dead people, Shyamalan's unwavering dedication to seeing his artistic vision through (for better or worse) has left him as one of the most debated and talked about directors of the 21st century.

Over the last 93 Academy Awards, hundreds of films have been honored with a nomination for the coveted Best Picture category. This week we take a look back at their track record and try to figure out just how reliable the academy is at picking the best winner of the field. From Shakespeare In Love vs Saving Private Ryan to Argo vs any other nominee, we cover the head scratchers that all too often get called to the podium as the winner for their year and make a case for why one or all of their competitors were more deserving. Spoiler Alert, we talk about a lot of movies... You can let us know your thoughts on this episode by emailing in at [email protected].

While he has been known for the majority of his career as the writer and director that could showcase the best of Will Ferrell, in recent years, he has shown that he is capable of so much more. He has gone from the head writer of SNL to directing multiple academy award nominated films. McKay has been able to parlay his comedic instincts into stories and themes that are anything but comedic, and damn near reinvented himself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of dramatic filmmaking.

This week, we talk about a facet of movie fandom that everyone has undoubtedly experienced at one point or another: the over-used movie quote. Whether it's someone letting you know that the grocery store line that you are in is ACTUALLY ancient Sparta or a friend letting you know that as a result of their Dominos not arriving on time that they are now in a glass case of emotion, movie quotes have been used as a part of every day conversation for a long time. We attempt to better understand, through our hyper-scientific method of rambling, the origins of this phenomenon and how it shows up in the modern day.

This week we are back with a heavy hitter for a filmmaker spotlight. Few have impacted the comedy world the way that Mel Brooks has. From film, to TV, to the stage, Brooks has brought his own brand of spoof and comedy for over 50 years! With films like The Producers and Blazing Saddles he pushed the envelope of taste and found ways to make the offensive funny. Not bad for a guy who didn't make his first film until he was 42 years old.

Going back to older films can be tricky. Sometimes you get a film that seems just as poignant and insightful as when it was made. In other cases you get Scary Movie 2 (spoiler alert?). Movies don't always age well due to a number of different issues. This week we discuss some standout examples of movies that age poorly and try to get closer to understanding what studios and filmmakers can, and should, do to atone for past mistakes. What could go wrong??? You can let us know your thoughts on this episode by emailing in at [email protected].

Arguably the most American filmmaker ever, Michael Bay has made a career out of giving teenage boys 2 hour chunks of validating cinema. Love him or hate him, he has left one hell of a scorch mark on the history of film and deserves at the very least to be discussed on a podcast with 6 regular listeners. He has been called "a cock" by Sean Connery and "Hitler" by Megan Fox, but we like to call him "this week's Filmmaker Spotlight".

We are pulling double duty as we present you with our first double-feature. This episode, the boys discuss their takeaways from the unprecedented, cyber-bully approved release of Zack Snyder's "original" vision almost 4 years after Justice League's theatrical release. This leads to a discussion of the bigger picture behind directors revisiting and revising their work after it has been released to the masses and what effects that has on the industry. Were you a bigger fan of The Joss-tice League or will you always be a tiny speck in an infinite Snyder-verse? What director's cut do you think was the greatest improvement? Are you tired of all these questions? Let us know! You can let us know your thoughts on this episode by emailing in at [email protected].
