Jay (@dietjay) and Hayden (@haydenkristal) have a very polite disagreement about The VelociPastor, a faux-grindhouse flick about a priest who turns into a dinosaur that Hayden found delightfully silly and Jay found shockingly boring. Will these two new friends and goofballs find some common ground to close out the final regular episode of the show? Tune in to find out!

Jay (@dietjay) is joined by Front Row Film Roast's masterminds (and married comedians) Andrew and Jessica Sproge (@andrewsproge/@jessicasproge) discuss Tiptoes, a completely buckwild movie starring Gary Oldman as a little person, Matthew McConaughey as his self-loathing twin brother, and Peter Dinklage as the guy who should've been cast in Gary Oldman's part. Insane stuff all around! How and why has this movie gone under the radar for so long?

Jay (@DietJay) and KPCC/LAist's Mike Roe (@mikeroe) discuss 2001's Double Take, an oft-forgotten action comedy that's a disservice to both genres. How do you manage to squander Eddie Griffin and Orlando Jones simultaneously? (Hint: a plot full of double, triple, and quadruple crosses doesn't help...)

Jay (@DietJay) and Gwen (@gwenderwoman) discuss Hannibal, the 2001 sequel to The Silence of the Lambs that managed to turn a tense, terrifying tale into an overwrought, over-the-top gore-fest and sabotaged the franchise entirely. Whose brains got eaten at Universal Pictures that led to this bloody mess?

Jay (@DietJay) and Brendan (@CooneyOrDie) discuss Don't Look Up, the hotly-debated climate change satire from Adam McKay that had Brendan scratching his head across multiple viewings, and left both these dudes wondering why this film felt bloated and behind the times. This is what happens when you make movies designed specifically to be watched by Joe Manchin.

Jay (@DietJay) and Mike (@glazerboohoohoo) discuss No Time To Die, the final film in Daniel Craig's run as James Bond and a piece of cinema that left Mike feeling like this chunk of the franchise went out with a whimper rather than a bang. Let's get to the bottom of why this screenplay left Mike feeling shaken, not stirred!

Jay (@DietJay) argues with Tyler and Sean – his VR Your Friends compatriots – about whether or not Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a total abomination to the franchise, or is actually a perfectly fine re-envisioning of the franchise as a relatively family-friendly adventure movie. Plus, how many mentions does Podcast get on this podcast?

Jay (@DietJay) and Austin (@austinnasso) discuss 2012's FoodFight!, an animated war crime that features your favorite supermarket characters like Mr. Clean, Charlie Tuna, and the Hawaiian Punch guy trying to keep themselves from getting genocided by a bunch of literal generic brand Nazis. Oh and there's implied bestiality, too. Fun for the whole family!

Jay (@DietJay) and Rama (@ramavallury) discuss American Beauty, the 1999 film that launched the careers of Sam Mendes and Alan Ball, introduced millions of Americans to arthouse filmmaking, and remains a thorn in Rama's side after years and years of wondering how a film this mediocre could've made that many awards-season waves.
