Ladies & Gentlemen...
DUNE: PART 2
THE REVIEW
that is all
"POWER OVER SPICE IS POWER OVER ALL"
Ladies & Gentlemen, many of you doubted this day would come…many of you doubted that we had the sheer WILL POWER and DETERMINATION to record this ~3 hour~year end~spectacular…but many of you were wrong
This is it! Despite the delay, it’s time to reflect on 2023 and not only count down our TOP TEN FILMS of the year, but also hand out the often imitated but never duplicated HOLLYWOOD WEEK AWARDS!
Along with falling off of my roof while hanging Christmas lights and saying politically incorrect things at Thanksgiving, this is my favorite annual tradition.
CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES! COME ON!
"Alright stop...ANTICIPATE AND LISTEN"
--Vanilla Ice, 1990
That's right ladies and gentlemen, it's time for everyone's favorite annual tradition! Let's bury the past and look to the future as we discuss some of the biggest movies of 2024. Does Marvel have anything left for us to get hyped on? Does "Dune Pt. 2" win by default? Is Kasen going to try and bring up some goofy nerd sh*t?!
ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN
The Roman Empire...The McDonald's .99 Double Cheeseburger...my ability to adequately host a podcast...all great things will come to an end, and this includes the once untouchable "Marvel Cinematic Universe".
It was the best of times, and it's currently the worst of times for Kevin Feige and the MCU. Disney + content is diluting the brand with mediocre series, the movies have been wildly inconsistent and convoluted, and "The Marvels" just made slightly less money than my elementary school's D.A.R.E. fundraiser in 1994, and it was also terrible and immediately forgotten. Dark times, but it's always darkest before the dawn...right?? Right everyone? Please God tell me dawn is coming!
We are gathered here for this very special episode to discuss "The Marvels", discuss how to save the MCU, and discuss the future projects and what they need to accomplish to steer this sinking ship back to respectability. Just like my father said to me when I turned 13...it's time for a tough conversation.
LET'S SAVE THE MCU
Ladies & Gentlemen...it's hot...
It's TOO hot for me to attempt anything witty or humorous or thoughtful...but we all know what time it is...
HOLLYWOOD WEEK
SUMMER 2023 RECAP
Ladies & Gentlemen, let's all imagine it's 2013 and you're in the board room at Marvel Studios...Kevin Feige sips his espresso while pointing his taser at you and says "PITCH ME...and SELL ME"
As you sit there trembling, your brain starts firing off random synapses and your mouth has no choice but to speak the absurdity into existence...
"Talking Raccoon!!"
"Vin Diesel is a Tree!"
"WWE Superstar Dave Bautista!"
"Zoe Saldana Green Alien Woman!!"
"Ummmm...Dumbass Guy From the Hit NBC Comedy "Parks & Rec"!!!!"
It's been an amazing journey over the last 9 years, but we have finally arrived at the end..."Guardian of the Galaxy: Vol 3" not only has a lot riding on it because it's the swan song to this story, but it also has a lot riding on it given the current state of the MCU. Does it deliver? Where are we ranking it? Only one way to find out...
Grab your zarg nuts and get ready to party...it's THE REVIEW
Ladies & Gentlemen...they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and just when you think your beautiful hearts couldn't grow any fonder, we..are..BACK!
We have so much to talk about so it only makes sense this is one of the longest episodes we've ever recorded...as you go on this epic marathon journey with us, recapping the last few months of movies, television, and news stories...remember to hydrate, remember to take bathroom breaks (unless wearing an adult diaper), and remember to text/message us about how the podcast is too long. Time stamps are below for anyone that wants to cheat!

Ladies & Gentlemen, there's nothing we appreciate more than constructive criticism...and although we've ignored every single example of this and banned countless listeners for trying to critique the podcast, we're still big big fans.
When it comes to FILM criticism, there is one site to rule them all and that's Rotten Tomatoes..."Pearl Harbor" is sitting at 24%??? "Bring It On" at a respectable 64%?? "Ratatouille" coming in HOT at 96%?? Every movie must go through the FRESH or ROTTEN test, and tonight's very special episode has us putting on our prediction hats and looking at 20 of the biggest upcoming movies and their potential Rotten Tomatoes score.
As Jigsaw famously said in "Saw 5"...I want to play a game...
Ladies & Gentlemen,
We made a New Year’s resolution to only put out episodes that Martin Scorsese would stand up and cheer for…and here we are…this is the big one and we hope you’re ready…
