May thy knife chip and shatter - no, not Chip our host. We're huffing spice and chugging the life of water on this episode. Plus: Evan has a few hot takes.

No, the episode name isn't a typo, my keyboard isn't stuck. On the outside lane, we have Michael Mann's return to the big screen with FERRARI, and on the inside lane, we have recent entry to dad movie Hall of Fame, FORD V FERRARI. Will we stutter our way through the entire episode with this format? Why, oh why, did James Mangold make that Indiana Jones movie? Plus: a deep dive on Evan's cultural background.

Bradley Cooper made a movie about the guy from that R.E.M. song! We all marvel at the cinematography, but find lots of questions with the script. Does Bradley Cooper have the juice for Oscars future? Plus: Chip wants to bring back the Razzies . . . but for who?

The Oscars are sneaky good this year, despite what the headlines will tell you. What's the most loaded category? What potential spoilers would upset us the most? Plus: will Chip successfully trigger Jed?

How does the story handle the fuzziness of the relationship dynamic? Plus: a long debate on Jacob Elordi and his movie star status.

Have we re-evaluated our love for these movies after all these years? Plus: how does Bourne use the random citizens around him to his advantage, and how should that make us feel?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Let's ring in the holidays with one of the year's most celebrated films, Todd Haynes' MAY DECEMBER. Which performance moved us the most?

This year, we are thankful for David Fincher. We dive into the self-parodic (or self-serious?) Fassbender voiceover. Is there such thing as too many Smiths needle drops? Plus: are we one of the many, or one of the few?

Jed and Evan talk about a San Francisco core classic, David Fincher’s THE GAME. How well does it represent San Francisco from the perspective of (one current, one former) SF residents? Is Michael Douglas the hottest man alive? We try to answer.

Can you find the wolves in this podcast? Scorsese has given us another masterpiece. We try to discern some of the impressionistic scenes and visuals. The emotional beats of this movie are almost too much to handle. Plus: do we have any career best performances here?

We apply stringent deductive reasoning and logical examination to our GUY Kenneth Branagh's latest detective story. Are we finally figuring out Branagh's casting choices? Did Jed get too spooked from this Halloween tale? Plus: who should be in the next Poirot tale?
