This week, we're covering an obscure, low-budget sci-fi from 2014 that stars Ethan Hawke, who we love. The movie had its problems, but it in...

This is the last week or our experimental format, so we figured we'd earned some title gore. If you're still confused, read on!
We devoted fully two thirds of this episode to breathless admiration of what may be the best-written show in recent history. Can you guess w...
CJ'S FAVORITE MOVIE. And one of Jordan's favorite TV shows. Yes, it seems like he has a lot of those, but can you blame him? It's PEAK TV, p...
