Wrapping up our trip through the 2022 blockbuster landscape, returning guest/friend of the pod/Sonic autist of note Andy (@Ex_AnarchoAnon) from Those Good Old Fashioned Values joins Nicole and Cole for what's supposed to be an episode about Sonic the Hedgehog 2. We really were going to try to stretch out a mediocre video game movie for children and their ironically detached millennial parents into a 90-120 minute conversation, accounting for at least 45 minutes of derailments (as to be expected). But then Paramount and the Ellison crime family colluded with Trump's ROG (Reddit Occupied Government) to expand their slopaganda reich and successfully win the bid for ALL OF Warner Brothers, consolidating a vast chunk of American media under the control of an eyebrow-less failed-actor whose tech-billionaire daddy footed the bill for a movie studio as consolation for Flyboys eating shit at the box office. Plus, more Ken Penders talk and Live Reacts to Jim Carrey's new face.

The Russo brothers are boring, lame guys who make boring, lame movies. The Gray Man, appropriate to it's name, is perhaps the most boring and lame so far. Our suffering is Eternal, but the episode is only 80 minutes.

Steven Spielberg: whiz kid of New Hollywood, maestro of cinematic spectacle, Lord Emperor of eighties kids nostalgia, and chief architect of the modern blockbuster as we know it . A spectral presence over this podcast, but first and foremost, he's our preeminent child-of-divorce auteur. We're joined by Aaron from Hit Factory to talk The Fabelmans, Spielberg's stunningly revealing work of autofiction mistaken for another navel-gazing piece of Oscar bait.

Before delving into the fabled (and shockingly good) Pyun work print cut of Captain America (1990), we revisit Captain America: The First Avenger and give some much needed and deeply reverential space to that one First Avenger trailer with Tool in it.

Jane Altoids (@staticbluebat) of Pacino Pod joins us to relitigate one of Film Twitter's favorite discourses: is Damien Chazelle's mega-critical and commercial flop Babylon an underrated masterpiece or a heaping pile of elephant shit? Did Babylon deserve to fall or did the guy famously who lost Best Picture to Moonlight make one of the great misunderstood films of the 21st century? Can a straight man (loosely, debatably) adapt Kenneth Anger's tome of gay lies, deceits, and fallacies Hollywood Babylon into what dumb people call a "love letter" to silent cinema? The verdict: Babylon bad, or at the very least a hot mess of ambition, miscasts leads, and tonal whiplash from a director lacking the camp touch and the ability to diagnose where Hollywood evil truly resides.
