Episode 7: Boomsticks at Dawn

We are back! And we have decided to re-introduce the main topics! On this new episode, we decided to talk about one of our combined favorite films - Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 Vietnam epic Apocalypse Now. We go through its troubled production history, its legacy, and its influences and finally render a critical consensus on the career of its director. 
In addition, we give our early thoughts on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, review Mr and Mrs Smith on Amazon Prime, and give stern warnings about the quality of The Exorcist: Believer and Rebel Moon.

After a long break, we are back! We harken back to one of our most popular episodes where we talked about dinner and discuss our ideal series of courses and what media will accompany them. Through the silliness we get to cover Renfield, It's always sunny in Philadelphia, John Wick 4, Train to Busan, Beef, Street Fighter 6, Dawn of the Dead, and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. 
We also cover the biggest disappointments since the hiatus and mismarketed movies.
