On this week's episode, we've got a full house to discuss one of 2009's most divisive films, Spike Jonze's adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book "Where The Wild Things Are".

Sam, Kyle and Eli discuss Mike Judge's fourth (and, so far, final) feature film Extract, which bombed despite a sterling cast of Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, Ben Affleck and JK Simmons. Why did it fail, and is it worth another look 10 years later? 00:00 -- 10-year-old News https://www.wired.com/2009/09/youtube-in-talks-to-rent-premium-movies-from-major-studios/ 09:38 -- 10 year anniversary review: Extract  Intro/Outro Music: The score from Jumper by John Powell

Sam, Kyle and Eli debate what makes a movie "so bad it's good", and whether or not 2009's ridiculous The Final Destination falls into that category.  Come back next week as we discuss the 10th anniversary of Mike Judge's "Extract".  Opening/Closing Music: "My Day So Far" & "A Jump Off" by John Powell  

Episode 030 | The Final Destination

Sam and Kyle *echo* the same sentiments about Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds on its 10th anniversary: it's good. It's really good. But first, we count down our Tarantino flicks from worst to best to see just how good.  00:00 -- Intro & 10 Year Old News 9:00 -- Our Tarantino Rankings 34:50 -- 10th Anniversary Re-View: Inglourious Basterds

Sam, Eli and Kyle celebrate(?) the anniversary of comedy extraordinaire Judd Apatow's 10-year-old opus Funny People, which is inexplicably two and half hours long. There's certainly a lot of funny people here, but we discuss whether that adds up to a worthwhile experience. Intro/Outro Music: "A Jump Off" by John Powell from Jumper (2008)

Episode 027 | Funny People

Disney loves their talking animals, and in 2009 they reached their apex with the all-time classic that every single human on Earth remembers and adores, G-Force (duh, who doesn't know G-Force?)

Whether it was the books, the movies or just plain being around people, it's impossible for millennials to not have some relationship with Harry Potter. Sam, Kyle and Eli all bring different perspectives to the franchise as they discuss the 6th cinematic entry, which may just be one of the finest. 

Episode 025 | Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Sam, Eli and special guest Monica discuss how well the flamboyantly gay Sacha Baron Cohen character Bruno (and his 10 year old film!) has aged, especially with the little old thing called gay marriage becoming federally mandated in the years between. Does this film effectively expose America's homophobia, or simply settle for the shock factor?

Episode 024 | Bruno

This week the boys go beyond the confines of 2009 to the 1930s, where Michael Mann's gangster drama "Public Enemies" takes place. Does Johnny Depp's performance as John Dillinger impress as he goes toe to toe with Christian Bale, or is there a reason this is one of 2009's lesser-known blockbusters?   00:00 -- Intro & The News (Michael Jackson, Al Franken, Steven Soderbergh's "Moneyball") 11:00 -- 10th Anniversary Re-Review: "Public Enemies"
