Pete and Steve wrap up the summer break with a list of movies set in sweat ā itās our favorite films in summer heat! Plus, Steve shares his review of The Endless and Pete dives into Downsizing before both of them head out for MI:Fallout!
Peteās in Phoenix and that means the guys are together for the first time inā¦ everā¦ recording face-to-face. Yeah, I guess itās kind of a big deal? Anyway, they talk about two great trailers and one weird one, and then ā because of a split vote ā they each
Just before the summer break, Steve and JJ take a trippy ride to The Congress. Based on Stanislaw Lemās 1971 novel The Futurological Congress, this was Peteās trailer pick from May 23, 2014. There is a lot going on in this movie, especially once we get to the animated zone Abrahama City.

With both the Marvel and DC cinematic universes represented as well as The Walking Dead, this film has a slew of familiar faces. We have corrupt cops working one last heist for the mafia, and needing to sacrifice one of their own to do it. From early on this films delivers on action and adrenaline, but can the story and actors deliver an appropriate finish?
Andy advocates for the SAW franchise. Steve catches up on David Wain. We all make fun of the extra HOUR coming with the Criterion release of Tree of Life becauseā¦ really? Plus, Steve wins the first ever A24-Red Band Rule Lifetime Achievement Award and we
