Back again to discuss two of the first entries into this year’s awards race movies — A Star is Born and The Hate U Give — as well as recap some of what we loved over the summer. Our choices, Hereditary and Upgrade, are also great Halloween movies, so make sure you add them to your holiday movie playlists!

We review Solo: A Star Wars Story, the origin of the galaxy far, far away’s favorite scruffy-looking nerfherder. Surprise! We love it. For it being such a basic prequel story, it’s surprisingly layered with lots of themes and great filmmaking. Stay a while and listen!

Melissa McCarthy is back with Life of the Party, and we gave it a Gentlewoman’s C. Also, we go back to review three films we missed from the last few months: Isle of Dogs, Love Simon, and The Quiet Place.

Wow. Completely spoiler free, we talk about how Avengers: Infinity War left us feeling. There’s lots to talk about here, but we both loved it.

WE ARE BACK! Andy swears about Red Sparrow, talks up Game Night, and Andy and Adam both gush about Annihilation. Our Oscar picks– who will win and who should win. Highlights: Andy doesn’t like Three Billboards or Darkest Hour. Adam likes Call Me By Your Name. We both like Bladerunner 2049 and Andy Serkis– who aren’t nominated. It’s a long episode, but that’s what happens when we’re away for months!

WE LOVE BLADE RUNNER 2049!!! And we’re going to spend 30 minutes not telling you anything about it. No spoilers. Zero. But lots of why it’s good. How it succeeds where movies like Ghost in the Shell, mother!, and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets failed. This is the best movie of the year, and we both give it a 10/10 perfect score.

Warning! This episode gets PG-13 with a couple of f-words and discussions of the adult content of mother! We also welcome Kaitlyn Booth of Bleeding Cool. Andy talks Rebel in the Rye: a good movie about a kind of garbage person who wrote a garbage book that garbage people love. 5/10. Kaitlyn saw American Assassin and found it utterly unnecessary and cliched. And then there’s mother! We all hate it with a fiery passion. And no, it’s not because we don’t understand it.

The Dark Tower and Detroit opened this week. Neither of us are familiar with the source material. Adam gives it a 7, Andy gives it a 6. A cameo by Mr. Meeseeks. Detroit and Andy talks for a long time about racism. Get Out and Mondo posters.

The Emoji Movie is as bad as you’ve heard and worse. Atomic Blonde is its exact opposite and the perfect way to chill out.

Three movies with A Ghost Story, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, and Dunkirk. Andy kind of hated A Ghost Story. Rooney Mara eats a pie. Casey Affleck wears a sheet. It’s a boring, pretentious mess. Valerian is visually amazing but has some problems. Dunkirk is amazing, but Andy has some problems with it.
