What are your favorite limited series in the history of the MCU?

Is this the WORST film adaptation of a great video game until Borderlands? 

This is the time of year when: a) Oscar-nominated films the masses haven't seen are released wide, b) Bad movies are dumped in the desert, and c) Low-budget, low-faith movies are released by hopeful studios trying to grab what they can - sometimes to startlingly GOOD results. 

Which of Companion, Presence, One of Them Days, Flight Risk, or Love Me will be remembered by the end of 2025?

Jake breaks down the movie that convinced us the Multiverse Saga might not be that bad. Who peaks in a movie where everyone self-actualizes? PLUS: Is this a break-up movie? 

Jake breaks down Guy Ritchie's new Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, a blow-em-up slugfest about slaughtering Nazis. Always a fan. Then he talks about Sasquatch Sunset, a peculiar artistic film that we should all be happy exists. 

Jake breaks down the best movie of 2024 and the latest kaiju film. PLUS the top "Oh Hell Yeah, Bruther" movies.

Jake breaks down the feel-good One Life and the feel-gross Love Lies Bleeding. A heartfelt look at a man who saved hundreds of lives in WWII; a visceral take on steroid-fueled love. Best of both worlds.  

Jake talks about two visually stunning films with vastly different budgets: Dune Part II and The Ballad of Davy Crockett. 

The Oscars are here! Here are Jake's official predictions for the 2024 Oscars, plus a few new awards. Introducing the Travolta Award for "Wait... where WERE you?!"

Jake recaps Drive Away Dolls and Madame Web. Watch Drive Away Dolls back-to-back with Denzel's Macbeth - that's everything you need to know about the Coen roles. 

Jake talks about the follow-up to a cultural phenomenon - two years after its start tragically died. Does Angela Bassett automatically get our Oscar, or is that cheap? Did you like the Namor characterization? 

Jake talks about ISS and Argylle, two movies that a) feature Ariana DeBose, b) deal with the "who can I trust?" trope, and c) are unfairly bashed by people who went into it with the wrong expecations. 

Jake recaps three movies: Book of Clarence - was it blasphemous or just funny? Iron Claw - less interesting than the real story? And Aquaman - Jake's return to the DCEU, right before it dies off. 

Jake ranks the top movies of 2023 - purely based on how much he enjoyed them in theaters. Can anything topple Oppenheimer? How high can a movie like Poor Things rank? Is Killers of the Flower Moon too much of a bummer? 

Jake talks about the biggest disappointment in the MCU since ... wait, this IS THE MOST DISAPPOINTING MOVIE IN THE MCU. What went wrong here, and why did we suddenly rename the Taika Waititi Award?

Jake talks about Multiverse of Madness, an ode/satire of horror movies created by a master horror storyteller. Who deserves the Oscar for this one: Lizzie Olsen or Sam Raimi? 

Jake talks about the 2nd craziest theater experience of all time, one he experienced the same day he graduated college after 6 1/2 years. Who stands out among all of these one-off characters? And are they REALLY one-off?
