How much sense does it make to try and recall Skinamarink a year and a half after seeing it? Is it truly a cursed film with the power to leave long lasting psychological scars or are these two grown-ass men just being little babies about it? What does it mean that filmmaking is entering a phase where filmmakers can now replicate and redesign basically any aesthetic from history?

David McEntire and Nick Sanford sit down (in this house) to try and answer all these questions and more!

Some of the videos we talk about in this episode:

Why The Ring Didn't Use Color Grading
Mandy: The Art of Film Grain
Atemporality: Our Relationship To History Has Changed

After watching the 96th Academy Awards, Sanford flies solo to ruminate on and pontificate about one single question: are the Academy Awards a laughable and out of touch circle jerk or is there value to be found in one of Hollywood's oldest institutions?

The takes must flow!

Actor/comedian Alex Sanchez (The Praisedown) and Dalton Stuart (GoodTrash GenreCast) stop by to talk about Denis Villeneuve's epic sci-fi film Dune: Part 2 with Nick Sanford, and shit gets WEIRD astonishingly quickly.

What's the value of enjoying spectacle that gets real dark? Did this adaptation sand off too many edges from Frank Herbert's text, or is it great just the way it is? Did Alex Sanchez really cry at Hot Tub Time Machine? Is Zendaya or Rebecca Ferguson the true MVP of the movie? Okay, for real, what's the deal with Sanchez and Hot Tub Time Machine?

Also discussed is where the series could go from here: how do they continue this film series with the text of Dune: Messiah, and where do things like Children of Dune and God Emperor fit into the increasingly bizarre mythology?

It's an incredibly normal conversation about incredibly normal things!
