Topic: Second Best Movie Twist!
In this episode of The Second Best Show, we find out who would win: two Batmans or one Wolverine? We discuss who sucks more, the goner girl or the goned boy. We ask Mark Ruffalo to decide who does and doesn't get a lobotomy, and we let a few things dangle.
Bobby wants to get The Game'd for his birthday and Ori and Sam are happy to oblige, we'll just need some cash upfront.
Sam can't summarize a movie to save his life, Ori gives a treat to Michael Douglas, and Bobby - like an AI - reconstructs what he thinks a movie is about based on what he's heard about it.
Warning! This episode contains spoilers for a bunch of movies we call out early on, and baffling Boston accents. Be safe out there.
Slam some Wahlburgers and grab a Dunkin, it's time to decide the second best movie twist!

It's October! Bobby contemplates the xenomorph, Ori talks to a goat that is Satan or Satan-adjacent, and Sam wants nothing to do with this. Let's get spooky and fight some monsters as we decide the second best horror movie villain!
