Don’t blame us, we had never seen The Long Kiss Goodnight! We put this movie up on Patreon as an option for our weekly Executive Producer poll to determine what movie we would cover and they picked it over Mr. Holland’s Opus and The Ghost and the Darkness. This probably doesn’t belong in the Prestige category but we hope you’ll be willing to have a little fun with us in this Geena Davis and Sam Jackson amnesiatic-assassin movie.
High Valyrian inventor David Peterson (linguist) gives his early impressions of House of the Dragon dialogue and gets into the grammatical weeds with Anthony. Steve talks at length about “The Book of the Stranger” (ep. 604). Then Chad and Anthony debate the redemptive elements of A Game of Thrones.
The Walking Dead has entered its final stage. The stage where they’ve said “screw it” and now all bets are off. Should they make an episode starring Eugene in a neo-noire storyline that involves a mystery the audience already knows the answer to and give him a 3.5 minute tantrum monologue at the end of it? Yes they should. Maybe they should also ham-handedly slam some heavy socio-political commentary in there as well? Yes they should. And maybe you want to hear us talk about it? Check out the podcast now to see what we thought.
The Batman is the darkest take on a Batman movie yet. It’s also a familiar Batman story, with some minor updates and a few twists.

If you’re a Club Bald Move member stick around for the full spoilers after the trailer talk.
Medievalist Carol Parrish Jamison discusses the duality of Bran Stark and the use of warhorses in the Middle Ages. Then Steve and Anthony discuss Ramsay’s talent for letter writing.
