The French Connection, starring Gene Hackman as a narcotics officer playing a hunch to stop an international drug buy, is a classic for its kinetic chase scenes, not necessarily for its well-realized characters or compelling plot. Join us for the podcast to find out how it holds up over 50 years after its release.

This time we talk about the all-black western movie “The Harder They Fall”, the live-action version of Cowboy Bebop, a couple of Matt Berry shows (Toast of London and Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace) and then announce an exciting new Patron benefit as well as a change to an existing one.
This is a Bronn-heavy episode as Iain MacInnes covers Tyrion VI. Steve and Anthony talk about Frankenstien typology relative to episode 503. Anthony explores the various (contradictory?) ways to become a knight.
Time for another biopic! This time it’s Taron Egerton doing a nearly-perfect Elton John. We don’t quite agree on how much fun the movie is but it’s certainly not the fault of the excellent cast.
Join us for the final feedback episode of the season.
Bald Move Pulp is where you can get your fix of robots, aliens, action space adventures, and everything in between; on television or on the big screen. Pulp was not made for serious drama, if that’s your thing, you might be looking for Bald Move Prestige.
Well, we took a leap of faith covering the first season of a show which was trying to tell a story that everyone said couldn’t be told in the visual medium. Now that the final episode has been released, how did it work out? Join us for the podcast covering the season one finale of Foundation for our long-form thoughts.
Anthony and Chad take a trip up north and check in with the politics at the Wall. Steve chooses an ASOIAF religion and negotiates his feelings about the Dorne plot. Iain MacInnes talks about militaristic orders and the Night’s Watch.
Moonlight is a simple movie about a simple tale of an incredibly complex time in a young boy’s life. It won several Academy awards the year it was released and, we think, for good reason. Join us for a discussion of the merits of this movie, as well as how a tale about a young gay black man can resonate far outside of the shared experience.
