1078. Kings of King: The Langoliers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Michael and Abe discuss the 1995 TV miniseries about interdimensional meatballs cracklin’ their way through liminal time spaces. It’s well known for not being the best adaptation of Stephen King’s works. But maybe… just maybe… the boys rank it at the top of the list! Let’s see!

1076. Frame Rate: The Prestige (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adam and Abe have officially started their Christopher Nolan watch-through. We’re not going chronologically: we’ve devised a complex system of time to manipulate your emotions. So now we’re going back to 2006: to the tale of two scumbag magicians who try to one up each other with neat tricks.

Read excerpt
This episode is brought to you by the Pick the Flick tier on our patreon. So, everyone, thank Wildfires Now Support This Podcast for paying for the episode! Thanks Wildfires! If you recall, we covered 2022’s Influencer a month ago. This is the squeak-quel! What new horrors await our socially literate and pretty friends? It’s probably not going to go well for them. But damn, those deaths rack up those impressions. Features: Michael Swaim: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelswaim.bsky.social Abe Eppe
1072. Inside Dads: Moneyball, and Other Math Movies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our limited series with co-hosts Abe Epperson and David Bell digs deep into the internet meme of the “dad movie.” We can all probably name a dad movie, but can we isolate the tropes that really make this a bona fide film genre? Let’s find out!
