#59: X-Men Month 1/3: Deadpool's Multiverse of Misery

In this episode, the boys come back to the world of capeshit with 'Deadpool & Wolverine.' A film that fails to justify it's own existence even in the most basic ways. A total waste of time. Also talk of the UK race riots, Trump's decline in relevance, the dire conditions at Marvel Studios and how post-irony feels like a thing of the past  Further Reading:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s11uIW7wi-Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-ihCI_lApAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_6bscCG7OA

#56: Bond Retrospective Part 4/6: James Bond kills Robert Maxwell

#55: A Nightmare on Queer Street

In this episode. The boys tackle possibly the gayest film of all time. Intentional or otherwise, 'A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge.' A film whose reputation needs no introduction in it's relation to LGBTQ+ cannon. Also talk on more troubles in the world of Israel and Trump, horror being a safe haven for queers and the fine line between art and trash. 

#54: Giving Head at Brideshead

In this episode. The boys kick off Pride Month with something a little outside our wheelhouse with Brideshead Revisited. The English literary classic turned into a critically acclaimed miniseries that's now an LGBTQ+ favorite. Lots of implications in this one. Also talk of Trump's legal issues, the downfall of Israel, queer coding in classic Hollywood films and how being rich and successful makes you miserable.

#53: Baby Billy's Bible Bunkers

The result is a very funny, super slick and surprisingly solid show in the realm of streaming shovel ware. Also talks of Trump's bad day at this year's Libertarian Convention, the upcoming ICC warrants against Bibi, the UK government being stupid, making fun of video game devs who just want to be film directors and reminiscing about Uwe Boll movies. 
 

#52: Jesse Plemons Murder Pit

In this episode, the boys are once again joined by Snel to discuss the summer's most spineless movie, Civil War. A film that fails to say anything about politics, class, war, journalism, America or anything of substance. Also talks about the invasion of Rafah, Trump being BBF's with Hannibal Lecter, the Tiktokification of modern filmmaking and get into the weeds of what an actual American Civil War 2.0 would look like.  

#51: Star Wars 4/4: How Darth Revan Got His Grove Back

In this episode, the boys finish off the behemoth that is Star Wars by talking about about the extra stuff like books, games, comics, television shows. Much like the films we started excited and left tired and broken. Also talk about chaos at American college campuses, American burning it's international reputation for war criminals, how 2004 was the peak year for FPS games and how miserable it is to be an actual Star Wars fan right now. 

#50: Star Wars 3/4: The Rise of Capitalism

In this episode, the boys jump in with an extra long episode to talk about the most infamous and divisive era of Star Wars yet, the sequel trilogy. Getting into the fan backlash, behind the scenes drama and personal grievances. There's no coming back from this! Also talk about America's favorite murderer OJ Simpson, Screenwriters addicted to social media, how studio filmmaking is broken and just how low a franchise can go before it's officially too late.
