We wrap up our Golden Jubilee: 1975’s Pioneering Visions in Global Cinema series with a crossover into our next series—the Seven Samurai Family—with a wildly fun and exuberant film, Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay.
What happens when Paul Thomas Anderson makes a $175 million action epic about fascism, family, and a stoner dad in a bathrobe? We spoil One Battle After Another rotten—DiCaprio, Penn, secret cabals, and all.
For our monthly member bonus episode, we backflip into Hua Shan’s crazy tokusatsu movie The Super Inframan. It’s frenetic and non-stop, and we had a blast. Check it out!
A funeral, a chalkboard lecture, and a very bad plan—Thor’s not doing himself any favors in these five minutes. We unpack the mythological confusion, the emotional void, and the mounting narrative chaos in minute 51–55 of Thor: The Dark World.
What do an Iron Man helmet, a childhood bully’s land speeder, and the words on a daughter’s graduation cap have in common? For Rob Kubasko, they all point to a life lived in pursuit of connection—and a legacy distilled to just three tiny words.
The Final Destination movies don’t just kill their characters—they make us terrified of ceiling fans, traffic jams, and household appliances. This week we celebrate the franchise’s blend of paranoia, spectacle, and sheer sadistic fun.
Money isn’t just about math—it’s about mindset, emotion, and motivation, especially when you live with ADHD. Financial coach Nicole Stanley joins us to reveal how to ditch the shame, build systems that actually work, and finally make money feel good again.
What if the secret to lasting fitness isn’t hitting the next milestone but becoming the kind of person who never misses a workout? Pete and Srdjan break down the science of identity-based goals, share client stories, and answer your questions about strength, size, and building a healthier mindset.
We continue our Golden Jubilee: 1975’s Pioneering Visions in Global Cinema series with Sidney Lumet’s fantastic bank heist gone wrong, Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al Pacino and John Cazale.
