Mike Jozic of FYC joins the Film Runners for a trip across the 8th dimension as we watch the one and only Buckaroo Banzai! Does this cult classic live up to its reputation?

Viva la vikings! For once, Billy picks a film Insha and Michael actually love. The Wild Hunt (2009) is a movie about Vikings, LARP, and toxic masculinity with enough comedy and horror to satisfy us all.

Insha lights up our senses when we watch Free Fire (2016) and get super excited about action, confined spaces, comedy, and head injuries.

Michael gets us all into The Ambulance (1990) with his vivid description of this Eric Roberts movie about a Marvel Comics artist searching for his diabetic street crush. A new true crime podcast is also pitched.

It's Hollywood's Biggest Night and the Film Runners are getting in on the action! It's a 3-for-1 episode with three individual picks of nominated movies that we don't think will win, but are still... films that have come out this year.

Aaron Sambey incites violence among the Film Runners when Sunshine (2007) proves to be a controversial pick. Will we ever agree on what makes a bad psychologist? Or if there can ever be a better score?

The Jacket (2005) is one of those "deep" movies we thought was cool in high school, and the Film Runners analyse it as closely as the close-ups on "old" Kris Kristofferson's face. Will we survive this journey through time and unconvincing accents?

Our long-awaited holiday special is here! Michael picks The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) and, by Christmas miracle, Billy actually loves his choice. Insha has some repressed holiday memories unearthed but we all love Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, and Canada, so it works out.

Insha invites the Film Runners to watch The Invitation (2015) to mixed results when its content makes Billy avoid watching it for a week. Friendship, Tom Hardy, and the Real Housewives are all discussed.

Special guest Ben Cohen comes on the show with A Band Called Death (2012) and we get a crash course in punk rock, documentary film making, and the incredible amount of creative energy produced by Death.

Fierce Creatures (1997) is a zany comedy that the Film Runners all generally enjoyed! There's some good talk of sequels, corporate thinking, bestiality, toxic masculinity and Monty Python all in one episode!

The final episode of October's Halloween Month is Swamp Thing (1982) from the mind of Wes Craven! Too bad it... isn't even horror? Witness the Film Runners in their collective disappointment, confusion, and distraction as we pick apart this early DC Comics installment.

Michael chows down on Ravenous (1999) with the Film Runners, but the conversation about cannibalism, the struggle of female directors, and manifest destiny soon descends into madness.

Insha brings The Brood (1979) to Film Runners and starts a discussion about David Cronenberg, body horror, and masculine vs feminine perspectives that's almost as fun to listen to as Oliver Reed's voice.

Billy finally confronts the film that gave him nightmares as a child. It's by far the WORST movie the Film Runners have ever covered, but Mr. Boogedy (1986) at least gets a vitrolic reaction from Michael and Insha.

Michael rounds out our double-feature trilogy with the ultimate Kaiju experience. Two movies that explore Toho's King of Monsters through the lens of science and politics... and Seinfeld.

Insha takes her chance to introduce The Wiz to the Film Runners. Is it too ethnic for Michael and Billy? Or all we all just too caught up in Judy Garland nostalgia?

Its the first in a run of double features! Two movies that are exactly the same. Billy shows off his not-so-secret love of Rock Hudson and Doris Day sex comedies with a healthy dose of Tony Randall. Is it sexist or satire?
