This week we're going back to 2004 (or 750 BCE depending how you look at it) to discuss Troy. We talk about Homer's IMDB credits, the fight style of Achilles and Hector, generation based acting ability, and of course, the horse.

This week we're talking about the new 2026 Supergirl. Does it leave you feeling empowered, the two sides of the El family, when to train your dog, and we pick apart the worst name for a villain.

We're going back to 1984's Supergirl this week. A film that is often cited for its terrible quality, but we put forward that maybe it's actually pretty good, or at least okay. It's definitely fine! We talk about good visual effects, bad writing, a sneaky Doctor Who pitch, and a plot that's just about getting laid.

We're talking about the latest in Steven Spielberg's conversation with aliens, it's Disclosure Day. A movie that combines many Spielberg tropes in one frankenmovie, we talk about adults getting away like kids, Spielberg's alien kink, and how much in medias res is TOO medias res.

This week we're talking about the Black and White (or Color) series Spider-Noir. We talk about the style of noir, a horrifying spider origin, and is it possible this is the most Nicolas Cage role of all time?
