Believe it or not, Our Flag Means Death tops the charts as the most-watched streaming show of all time — and we’re diving into how a queer pirate comedy took the world by storm. From fandom power to storytelling charm, we unpack what made it a global success. Then, we return to Mike’s legendary college screenplay for part two of our dramatic read-through, where the twists get twistier and the dialogue somehow gets even more... Mike.

In this packed episode, we gives our thoughts on Andor Season 2 — what worked, what surprised us, and what it means for the future of Star Wars TV. Then, we react to the brand-new Superman (2025) trailer and break down all the big reveals, Easter eggs, and DCU implications. Finally, we bring back a hilarious segment: a dramatic reading of the "Greatest College Script of All Time," written by none other than our co-host Mike. You don't want to miss this mix of geek news, storytelling chaos, and h...

On this May the Fourth , we dive deep into the galaxy of STAR WARS—not to rank lightsaber duels or debate Jedi lore, but to ask a more deranged and profound question: How do you turn brain rot into cinema? From the bloated spectacle of franchise fatigue to the unexpected prestige of Andor , we explore how one of the world’s most memed, merchandised, and overextended IPs somehow produced a work of real political drama, human depth, and aesthetic restraint. What does it take to elevate the algorit...

We're back to give our final thoughts on the (short-lived) Acolyte show—a few months after its final episode. We also get excited about WWE and the Paul-Tyson. This episode was recorded before the Tyson-Paul fight so we didn't know how it had ended at the time of this recording.

Buckle up for an episode where the titanic terror of Tokyo, Godzilla, takes on a galaxy far, far away in a clash of cinematic titans! This week, we dive deep into the chaotic brilliance of Godzilla Minus One —because what's a monster movie without a little urban renewal? Then, we swing lightsabers and unravel mysteries with The Acolyte , a series that promised more intrigue than it delivered (for now). Will Godzilla learn the ways of the Force? Can a Jedi mind trick calm the King of the Monsters...

This week, we crack open the vault and roast Raf’s very first script — a short film masterpiece (or disasterpiece?) titled “Bomba 69.” It’s raw, it’s unfiltered, and it’s exactly what you'd expect from a film student with too much ambition and not enough shame.
