This week, we head to the scorched remains of the Cursed Earth to take on the dystopian excess of Judge Dredd (1995)! We analyze Sylvester Stallone’s uncompromising lawman alongside the scenery-chewing villainy of Armand Assante’s Rico. Our discussion centers on the film’s attempt to translate the gritty satire of 2000 AD into a mid-90s blockbuster, from the Gianni Versace-designed uniforms to the practical effects of the ABC Warrior. We debate whether the film’s campy action does justice to the source material—or if removing the helmet was a crime worthy of life in the ISO-Cubes. Prepare to be judged. 🎧 Did you enjoy the episode?

This week, we’re crossing the streams one last time as we conclude our 10th-anniversary rewatch series with the ultimate supernatural classic: Ghostbusters (1984)! We revisit the lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry of Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis, and Hudson, dissecting how their deadpan improvisational style redefined the summer blockbuster. As we close out a decade of the show by revisiting the movies that defined us, we ask the final question: Does this blend of spectral slime and sharp wit still hold up today? 🎧 Did you enjoy the episode?

This week, we dive into the neon-soaked psychological chaos of Batman Forever (1995)! We analyze Val Kilmer’s fractured Bruce Wayne, the dynamic debut of Chris O'Donnell's Robin, and Nicole Kidman’s Dr. Chase Meridian. The focus: the spectacular, highly theatrical war waged by Jim Carrey's Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face, as they attempt to steal the minds of Gotham with a mass-hypnosis device. Did Joel Schumacher's vision strike the perfect balance between pop-art spectacle and darkness? Tune in! 🎧 Did you enjoy the episode?
