Dan challenges the others to a game he’s invented that has absolutely nothing to do with Monopoly, and everything to do with how quickly we forget the dreck we watch for this podcast.

It’s Cagemas in July! The second-cagiest time of year! So we invited Jordan Morris, creator of the Bubble podcast (available on Maximum Fun) and co-writer of the brand new Bubble graphic novel to come by and discuss the “aliens really like a good martial arts fight” action movie Jiu Jitsu, with a delightful turn by Mr. Cage as a wacky Yoda-like character.

While we’re sad to say goodbye to beloved Producer Jordan, we’re happy to welcome Producer Alex, as he drops by to tell us about a forgotten TV movie from horror icon Wes Craven, Invitation to Hell!

We’ll level with all of you — we ALSO prefer Hallie Haglund, and are at our happiest when she comes by to join us for some film talk. So we had to pick an extra-special movie to mark the occasion. And hoo boy. That movie? The wife of former Trump treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin and controversial figure in her own right, Louise Linton’s vanity project (as writer, director, producer, and star) Me You Madness. It’s the movie that asks “if I make fun of myself REALLY HARD, then you’re not allowed to make fun of me anymore, right?”

With Black Widow in theaters this week, we talk about the Marvel property everyone’s talking about! The Eternals! Elliott attempts to answer the important question: What’s their deal?

Whaaat? Our second Doug Liman movie in so many episodes? It’s certainly hard to give Locked Down as much shit as we gave Chaos Walking — especially when it co-stars Elliott’s old flame Annie. Anyway, we hope you enjoy our usual shenanigans. Life seems to be looking up, right? Are we wrong?

In the spirit of Stuart’s tale about snakes, Dan shares some short fiction from his own childhood, filled with murder, moles, and an octopus with FANGS!

It’s just back to the OP’s this episode, for the discussion of the talent-packed, but passion-lite YA adaptation Chaos Walking, which honestly seems like a pretty heart-healthy way for Chaos to travel, but maybe it should check out public transit.
