Time to crunch the numbers and work up a roster of topics that maximizes our on-point percentages! Our starter? John’s Required Viewing pick, Moneyball. Then we go to Ronald’s thoughts on Travis Knight’s brand-new attempt to turn Masters of the Universe into a big screen franchise. After that: OTHER STUFF. Don’t forget to bring your power-sword.

The guys get lost in some liminal spaces and wonder what they did to deserve it as they break down Steve’s Required Viewing Pick, Exit 8, and discuss A24’s eerie and immersive Backrooms. If they ever make it out of there they can chat a little more about Star Wars before calling it a show.

Ron, Steve, and John take the scenic route to Rom-Com town with You, Me, and Tuscany, Ron’s Required Viewing pick. Then Ron talks about whether he loves I Love Boosters (he doesn’t), and John weighs in on The Mandalorian and Grogu, the first Star Wars movie in seven years. Is this the way? (Mayyyybe.)

The guys are the judges, juries and executioners of 2012’s bargain budget sci-fi action flick Dredd, featuring a laid-back but deadly Karl Urban as a dystopian super-cop. Then they try to sneak up on a few brand new genre efforts, including the impactful revenge saga Is God Is, the spook house thrills of Hokum, and the full-on emotional ick of Obsession. It’s a packed episode and you want it NOW!

Steve’s Required Viewing pick is Undertone, a new horror movie that uses audio as the prime source of scares (and which has already become a huge indie hit). In addition to that discussion, John takes a look at the two-episode premiere of Widow’s Bay, a comedy/horror hybrid that just debuted on Apple TV Plus. The show is rounded out with a few other recent watches and some off-the-cuff reactions to the trailer for Zach Cregger’s upcoming Resident Evil reboot.
