03/01/2016 Duración: 01h11minw/ Special Guests AC Abbott (https://twitter.com/theAC_Abbott) and Ken Kabukuru. On a special post-holidays episode, we sit down with our guests to discussion one of the most polarizing trilogies in modern cinema, the Wachowskis' baffling Matrix sequels: Reloaded & Revolutions. We compare it to the Nintendo 64, ask if young people today have ever heard of modems and question why God would create people with free-will if all he wanted was a loyal fan club. We try to get to the bottom of a very important question: are the Wachowskis hacks?

While it's easy to discuss the failures of the first 3 episodes, we try to dig deep and create plots that could not only make for more watchable movies, but add to the overall narrative arc of the series. And like every discussion about the prequels, we make sure to lampoon the walking cartoon abomination that was Hayden Christensen's acting performance. Also, listen to hear what we thought about Jar Jar!

Episode 2: Ghostbusters 2
24/11/2015 Duración: 01h59sNo movie better embodies the spirit of Hollywood's sequelitis than Ghostbusters 2. Matt & Manny relive the disappointment nearly every fan of Ghostbusters experienced when watching the sequel in theaters and on VHS, then they pitch an alternative that would have given audiences not 1 but 2 greater Ghostbusters sequels. Imagine a version where the Ghostbusters die at the end of 2, making you wait to see if they come back as themselves or ghosts in the finale of a trilogy. There's some good arguments in this episode as well, so that's a bonus if you're into hearing Matt & Manny fight!
