1094. Frame Rate: Memento
Adam and Abe continue their Christopher Nolan watch-through. We’re not going chronologically: we’ve devised a complex system of time to manipulate your emotions.

1093. Kings of King: Secret Window
Michael and Abe discuss the 2004 film starring Johnny Depp at the height of his fame! Nope! Not the pirate one, unless you consider director David Koepp’s theft of John Turturro’s performance from O Brother Where Art Thou? a form of high sea pillaging. Burn, Koepp! Suck it, Koepp!

1090. Frame Rate: Over Your Dead Body (Feat. Jason Pargin)

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!

1084. Frame Rate: Tenet
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.

1082. Frame Rate: Wet Hot American Summer
The hosts discuss formative (for them) 2001’s parody of summer camp teen films, Wet Hot American Summer. The conversation discusses the performance and comedy stylings of the team behind the film, the comedy-generational impact of the success of the film, and sucking your own dick.

1078. Kings of King: The Langoliers
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!
