This week Actatus and Frankie dig deep into Actatus' Pile of Trash and Shame to discuss Cybergeddon. Along the way we do our best to avoid talking about this trainwreck to instead talk about better things. Like The Matrix, the Illuminati, killing your family, and podcasts that are better than ours.

Have we reached the point where we wish we could go see movies that we hate in theaters? We continue discussing movies we wish that we would have stayed home for, or even skipped altogether.  To top it all off, we read some of your own regrets via Facebook and Discord. We're hoping to do more listener questions and discussions in the future!

We're all going a little bit stir crazy. Some of us are spending the time binging whatever shows are on their lists (No, Jason will never watch Tiger King) and others are taking advantage of filling in that movie bucket list. Above all, we're missing the golden days when we could go to a theater and watch whatever wanted that week. Or do we? Fred, Frankie, and Jason get together to talk about movies that they regret watching in theaters. Each taking a few from their list, they discuss why, and whether they would have rather watched in-home or just not at all.  Reach out to us and let us know what films populate your list of regrets!Be sure to rate and review us on your podcast app of choice and share us with all your people!Social Media:Twitter: @nowbspodFacebook: facebook.com/smeggcoBrought to you by SmeggCo Entertainment

Zoinks! After a communication error brought about by the collective Bad Brain of SmeggCo, Fred and Jason gather together to provide a commentary of Scooby-Doo and the Witches Ghost. Continuing the discussion on generational properties from our Star Wars series, Fred introduces Jason to a series of films from his childhood. Discussions on cartoon logic, 90's tropes, and a dash of nostalgia bring together a pretty fun episode.As per usual with our full-length commentary episodes, this is best enjoyed in sync with a copy of the movie, but can serve almost as well by itself. Fred's sources for this Episode:Ryan Hollinger: Remember Those Direct-To-Video Scooby-Doo Movies?Cynical Cartoons: Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost (w/ Kaycee Cosmos)Cynical Cartoons Be sure to rate and review us on your podcast app of choice and share us with all your people!Social Media:Twitter: @nowbspodFacebook: facebook.com/smeggcoBrought to you by SmeggCo Entertainment

Everything we've done, every decision, every quip, every game reference, every eye roll, has led to this. We finish off our deep dive into the Star Wars saga with a spoiler-filled discussion on The Rise of Skywalker. The gents, for what might be the first time, find themselves coming from entirely different sides on this one. It's Fred, unaffected, if not tired of, fan service and nostalgia, against Jason, who is completely all about it. It spawns an enjoyable debate which leads to virtually the same place but getting there through wildly different roads. We're already prepping for the "main show:" our dive into the history of genre films one year at a time, coming soon!Be sure to rate and review us on your podcast app of choice and share us with all your people!Social Media:Twitter: @nowbspodFacebook: facebook.com/smeggcoBrought to you by SmeggCo Entertainment

11 - ...during our SPOILER discussion of Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker

In many ways, our most anticipated commentary of the series, we wrap up our deep-dives into the Star Wars films we can watch at home. As expected, opinions divide, though in the end, not as much as we thought. Jason laments Canto Bight and Fred goes down rabbit holes that include the Hegelian dialectic and how it works into the mythology of the First Order and the Resistance, the Light Side and the Dark. And Jason finally begins to lose his mind.
