This week Dave and Meg swing back to 2005 because we remember liking Constantine and turns out, it's not bad! We talk about how being in this movie seems to have frozen everyone involved in time (except Shia), how DIY all the demon rituals are, Peter Stormare having a time, Tilda Swintoning all over the place and of course we go over the shocking amount of drowning going on.

This week uncle of the show Bryn Pottie is back to help us poke 1973's Live and Let Die with a stick because it's kinda gross now.  We first talk about the creator of James Bond Ian Fleming and his drunken stumble down easy street, then we look into the figure from Haitian Vodou people with no right to slapped into this movie with no real care before realizing a lot about ourselves and movies and just how much nice suits in cool rooms can carry a movie.

This week we're in 1995 to watch the good bad video game madness of Moral Kombat! With special guest Isabel Zaw-Tun we first go over the Canadian tale of Madeleine Parent, Union organizer and person who helped before hopping over to a much sillier kind of fight in Mortal Kombat, a movie with lizard people, ice folks and a scorpion fella with the tone of a teen ski comedy.

This week we are swinging back to 2016 to catch Disney's Marvel's Doctor Strange with special guest comedian Brendan D'Souza! First we talk about the posh Englishman who moved to Saskatchewan to give everyone some mescaline for socialism, then go over a movie that for sure was made by people familiar with mescaline.

This week Alan Shane Lewis is back again, this time to jump on the emotional grenade that is Pixar's 2017 movie: Coco.  First we go over some guesses people made a long time ago about what happens when we die, and then watch a lighthearted children's film about that very same question! We cried so much!

This week Meg and Dave stick to last week's theme and watch another Roger Corman $23 Star Wars movie Battle Beyond the Stars! Marvel at the spaceship that has boobs! Also there are space heroes, some of whom also have boobs! And don't worry, there's other uncomfortable misunderstood elements of Heavy Metal Magazine as well pasted over a plot stolen from a better movie that stole it from another still better movie! It was bad, we had fun!

This week to celebrate the futuristic New Year of 2020, we headed back to 1979 to catch an all over the place weird cheap sci-fi masterpiece.  Meet Count Space Dracula, Hair Jedi, Princess Bikini Collar, Robot Southern Sheriff and their friends as they something something a doomsday weapon, you get the idea! It's tons of fun.
