For the third time, Josh is back together with Rosario Dawson and Alexis Bledel in a movie that can best be described as a watered-down, worse version of Contagion. There’s romance, drama, and a pandemic sweeping across the United States. In this episode we discuss whether it would be improved by the addition of a zombie rage virus. We also debate the hottest old man actors, whether we believe in the power of love, and consistently struggle to say Penn Badgeley’s name with a straight face.

Previous Episode

The Lovers

This week: our boy Josh heads backward AND forward in time, to the bottom of the ocean and all the way to India, in a time travel adventure romance called The Lovers. The movie isn’t good, but hey, at least Josh met his now-wife Tamsin Egerton on set. Big P and the Brothers T also discuss which Powerpuff Girl each of us corresponds to, our upcoming boxing fight against the Paul brothers, Matt’s failed trip to India, and whether Jimmy Stewart sounds like a chicken. Also Patrick brings up Hawkman a lot.

Penny Dreadful Season 1

After several years making obscure indie movies few people have seen, Josh Hartnett returns to the mainstream. But this time...he’s on the small screen. This week we kick off our 3-episode run covering the prestige Showtime gothic horror series, Penny Dreadful. In this episode we spend a lot of time debating the evolution of “prestige TV,” as well as discussing Batman Day, the film Slugs, and the 2003 film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
