“Like most motion pictures, this needed way more Reginald VelJohnson” - Andrew
On this week’s episode, we’re chatting about the high body count/low IQ, Christmas-set sequel, Die Hard 2! Why couldn’t they have developed a script where now-LAPD detective John McClane has some adventure on the streets of Los Angeles instead of a boring D.C. airport? How amazingly scuzzy and inept is Dennis Franz’s Carmine Lorenzo? Did they really need to go the sequelitis rout...

“Just imagine like, to distract someone, you send a police car careening through your own house!” - Eric
On this month’s patrons-only W❤️M we’re talking about one of the all-time greats, the Christmas action comedy, Lethal Weapon! Has there been a movie duo with faster chemistry than Riggs and Murtaugh? Why are we giving Rodge a birthday cake while he’s in the tub? Did anyone else mishear that one APB and think the movie was saying Gary Busey was dating t...

“If ever you needed a showcase for the brilliance of Michael Keaton, you just need to show various clips of this performance” - Andrew
On this week’s episode, We ❤️ Movies month wraps up with a convo about one of our absolute faves, Beetlejuice! How incredible is Michael Keaton in this movie? How cool is all the stop motion weirdness? Is this Tim Burton’s best film? And how unsettling is it to see Alec Baldwin play a nice, gentle nerd? PLUS: Turns out Otho ...

On this edition of our Star Wars sideshow, we're joined by Thrawn scholar, and Eric's wife, Amy, to chat about the big blue baddie himself, GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN!
Was Thrawn's appearance on Ahsoka the biggest missed opportunity in recent Star Wars entertainment? How fabulous are those Timothy Zahn books featuring our blue boy? Does his shoehorned presence in Ahsoka take away anything from the finale of Rebels? And how much did the stupid Emperor hold b...

On this week’s episode, W❤️M month takes us to 2019 Los Angeles to chat about Royal Rid’s magnificent science fiction classic, Blade Runner! How stunning is the confidence of this film? Was Rutger Hauer ever better in a role? Is there a weirder coat in cinema than the one James Hong sports in this? How creepy are William Sanderson’s eerie toy “friends”? Who would’t want to...

On this month's special edition of The Nexus, we're chatting about the totally great and completely underrated Star Trek III: The Search for Spock!
Is there any question that this is the best movie Leonard Nimoy ever directed? How great is Christopher Lloyd, also serving as the villain on this month's Animation Damnation btw, playing the dastardly Klingon, Kruge? How frequently is Dr. McCoy going back to that sleazy bar?
