#72: Bond Retrospective Part 6/6: Wifeguy Bond vs Incel Blofeld

In this episode, the boys close out Bond for good with the film that haunts the entire franchise 'On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.' Once considered the black sheep of the series, now widely regarded as one of the best entries of it. By critics, audiences and filmmakers. Also talk of Bond video games, George Lazenby's strange acting career and how macho men can have feelings too. 
 

#71: Bond Retrospective Part 5/6: Bond vs. The Future

In this episode, the boys invited John back on the show to return to the world of James Bond to cover the Craig era. A very inconsistent run of films that create an interesting meta narrative of "is James Bond irrelevant in the 21 century?" Along the way talks about the fall of the Assad regime, the NYC CEO murder, mid 2000s action movie filmmaking and how Paddington bear is actually a based political assassin.

#70: JD The Slack-Jawed Yokel

In this episode, the boys are once again joined by recurring guest star and token American Snel to talk all things JD Vance. We discuss his bad upbringing and beliefs, why he got elected VP and who put him there, Snels weird connection to the Vances and why your dumb boomer parents love Israel.

#69: Call of Duty: Epstein Island

In this episode, the boys cut loose in honor of their new, harsh reality and talk about the recently released 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.' A game that's way more fun then it has any right to be and the boys also reminisce about previous installments of the series for laughs and ridicule. Also featured is talk of recent gaming trends, how parasocial relationships influence voting, and pitching Oklahoma City bombing for the game's upcoming DLC.

#68: Donald Trumps 3 Rules For Life

In this episode, the boys return from their election vacation to confront the reality of a second Trump presidency. Along with talking about the recent Trump/Roy Cohn biopic 'The Apprentice,' One of the best films of the year and also tells us a lot how things are the way they are. Also talk of Biden's legacy of failure, gross NYC exploitation movies and how Trump media should be done to avoid liberal cringe.

#67: The Picture of Dorian Gay

In this episode, the boys celebrate Halloween by covering 2024's best and most provocative horror film. Coralie Fargeat's 'The Substance.' The year's ultimate "We Live in a Society" movie, but also a fun gore-fest that Cronenberg would be proud of. Also talk of the final days of the US election, how horror films can still remember to be fun once in a while and reminding everyone that no matter what happens in November, we all lose. 

#66: We Live in a Susiety

In this episode, the boys call in the clowns to cover Todd Phillips' Joker Duology. The 2019 smash hit and the recently released 2024 bomb. Although the boys put up a passionate defense for Folie à Deux. Also talk of why NYC is hell on earth, fans are idiots and how time is more important to a film then box office. Joker 2019 worst takes:https://www.salon.com/2019/10/04/joker-review-todd-phillips-incels-alt-right-warner-bros/https://www.leftvoice.org/first-as-farce-then-as-tragedy/https://youtu.be/bujc8KkxwmQ?si=w_tB4IkFoBHMvdOFhttps://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/10/joker-joaquin-phoenix-trump-era
 

#65: We Built This City On Bad Vibes

In this episode, the boys tackle 2024's most polarizing and fascinating film. Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis.' A film that's impossible to describe and even harder to understand. But it might be an end of an era in Hollywood. Also talk of Israel's attacks on Lebanon, the VP debate, Ditty's arrest and Coppola's complicated legacy as a filmmaker and artist. 

#64: A Not So Open Secret

In this episode, the boys get serious for an episode they have planned since the beginning of the show. 'An Open Secret.' A film that derailed a director's career, sent people to jail and is impossible to find thanks to people richer and more powerful then this podcast. Also talks of Trump constantly getting shot at, Taylor Swift being an American oligarch, evil people getting away with awful crimes and how nothing will change regardless of who's in charge. An Open Secret documentary in full: https://www.effedupmovies.com/open-secret-2014/
