Captain of America: Brave New World
For their 188th episode, two patriotic film critics, two winged dads, and two reformed Marvel Schill school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, swoop in to sing what appears to be minority praises for the new Marvel Cinematic Universe film "Captain America: Brave New World." The movie might be bombing with critics, but we think there's plenty to love and enough exciting content for a trip to the big screen before settling for an afternoon on Disney+ in three months. Hear us genuflect at the altars of Harrison Ford and Anthony Mackie as two of the target audience of this movie. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate.

Under Siege (1992)
For their 190th episode, two enlisted film critics, two centerfold dads, and two non-silent school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, pull up their anchors, load their guns, and take on an 1990s action movie classic! Steven Seagal (and us) never had it better than 1992's "Under Siege," co-starring Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey. This was director Andrew Davis's audition tape for "The Fugitive," and it becomes comical how much Seagal is squeezed out of his own movie. We talk about all the warheads of "Under Siege" and more!
