This week, Elijah Wood stars alongside one of Mike D's hometown heroes: Ed Burns, who also wrote and directed today's film, ASH WEDNESDAY! Also starring Rosario Dawson, the film is a crime thriller about two brothers, one of which is believed to be dead. When he returns, he has to retrieve his wife and escape Hell's Kitchen once again. And you better believe it's all happening on Ash Wednesday!

We're not getting to return to Middle-Earth quite yet, but Elijah Wood did pop up in another fantasy epic in 2002 that we're sure is just as good as The Two Towers - it's time to discuss the direct-to-video animated film THE ADVENTURES OF TOM THUMB AND THUMBELINA! Also featuring a cast that includes Jennifer Love Hewitt, Peter Gallagher, Jon Stewart, and more, this relic of mid-2000s home video entertainment has nostalgia for some... and not much else. Come join us in the Mole King's Lair to talk about it!
Thanks to a Ko-Fi donation, this week Mike and Mike are celebrating spooky season with the final film directed by Mel Brooks, DRACULA: DEAD AND LOVING IT! Is it as good as the best Mel Brooks comedies? Absolutely not - but there's fun to be had here! Leslie Nielsen plays Dracula, Mel Brooks plays Van Helsing, and Peter Scolari plays Renfield in this send-up of the classic Bram Stoker tale.
It's time for a monumental moment in the career of Elijah Wood, as the Mikes begin their journey through Middle-Earth with the epic fantasy film THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved book, FELLOWSHIP was a huge hit, the second-highest-grossing movie of 2001, and nominated for 13 Oscars. LOTR fan Nick Wermuth returns to the podcast to discuss the beginning of one of the greatest blockbuster trilogies of all time!
The Montana Film Festival is here once again! Mike Emmons, Artistic Director of MTFF and Programming Director of The Roxy Theater, returns to the podcast to run down everything playing at this year's fest!MTFF runs from October 22nd through 25th.

It's time for a first here on the Complete Works - we're covering a movie we've done on a previous season! And this one's about a cast of characters who've seen Better Days: we're revisiting CHAIN OF FOOLS! Elijah Wood pops up alongside an ensemble cast that includes Steve Zahn, David Cross, Salma Hayek, David Hyde Pierce, Tom Wilkinson, and of course, Jeff Goldblum in this little-seen crime comedy/Tarantino knockoff that we can't help but be a little bit charmed by.
