The Greatest Movie Ever Made

For some unknowable reason, David picked The Pest this week. Hear him regret this decision on-mic and be berated by Justus for forcing this vile undertaking upon the podcast. It's tough to stay on-topic for a movie that your memory is actively attempting to repress as a trauma response, so they take some detours into anecdotes about past drug experiences, and (of course) the criminal history of one Jeffrey Jones. Does this sound like a fun time to you? We can guarantee one thing: it beats watching The Pest!The Pest (1997) is directed by...

In space, no one can hear you podcast, and the boys are making their yearly return to the Alien franchise to discuss this divisive third installment.

It’s not every day that James Cameron has a new flick out in theaters, so the boys are seizing the opportunity to talk about Jim’s first journey to Pandora.
