Perfect Stranger Things - Chapter Four
Steve and Anthony cover “The Body” and puzzle over the Hawkins Labs “Build-a-Will” department. Then they revisit an old Stephen King favorite: Stand By Me (1986)
The Book of Boba Fett - Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian
The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian marks a return to form, but we’re beginning to think that’s because The Mandalorian is the new “coolest character” in Star Wars, as Boba Fett is completely absent from his own show this week. We’re also treated to a hot rod that puts the modders mopeds to shame in an excellent cameo from the prequels.

LWJ&A – Episode 324 – Unsalted, Unplowed, Undriveable
Lunchtime! It’s a snow day today, which prompts us to talk about that most nostalgic of feelings when you know there’s the possibility of an unscheduled day off from school. Then we go deep into A.Ron’s chimney to talk about the woes of remodeling. Finally, it’s all topped off by listener questions.
Killjoy (2000)
We went into Killjoy nearly blind but podcast commissioner Doug assured us that it was bad enough to wrap back around to good. Turns out Doug was exactly right. The creators chose the homeopathic approach to budgeting, mixing no more than 1 part money to every 100 parts runtime. Despite that, we enjoyed our time with it. Join us for the podcast to find out exactly why.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
What do you say about a movie that’s better the first time around but is a little confusing even on subsequent watches, requires multiple trigger warnings, and seems to want to end about 45 minutes before the runtime expires? Join us for our The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo podcast to find out.

Perfect Stranger Things - Chapter Three
Steve and Anthony talk about a major hinge in Nancy’s character development and talk about the impact of Peter Gabriel’s voice. Then they dive deep into Pet Sematary.
The Book of Boba Fett - Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm
This episode made Boba Fett look like a real buffoon. Unfortunately, that’s not our recollection of the character from the original series and there are no number of “flashbactas” that can make us ok with it. Join us for the episode for some talk about what didn’t work and why.
