Do you need to be familiar with the ins and outs of British soccer in order to appreciate Tom Hooper’s early work? And will THE DAMNED UNITED mark a turning point in this show’s contentious relationship with the acclaimed director’s filmography? Listen to Alex & Julio navigate their feelings about the filmmaker’s second movie with the help of a set of notes from Patron Ben Murray!

The disconnect between British behavior in normal life and British behavior in sports has never been more obvious than when it comes to soccer. So why didn’t THE DAMNED UNITED explore that dichotomy instead of celebrating the career of a dude who couldn’t even last two months on his most high-profile job? Listen to Alex & Julio tackle yet another critical darling in Tom Hooper’s filmography and try to figure out if Michael Sheen is worthy of his legendary last name!

Guys, our segment on this year’s Livestream for the Cure was a success. This is just a brief (by our standards) bonus episode where we thank all of you who were there, and fill in some details to those of you who weren’t. Let’s do it again next year!

Regardless of whether they think SCREAM 2 is a good movie (and a good sequel), can Alex forgive the fact that Julio can’t quote the original SCREAM page & verse? That might be the real conflict in this Real Talk segment. But also: is this a Kevin Williamson movie directed by Wes Craven, or a Wes Craven movie written by Kevin Williamson? And can we complain about SCREAM 5 spoilers when we drop SCREAM 3 spoilers in this episode?

The Friendstravaganza moves on to its second chapter, as Courteney Cox finds herself in the spotlight! Unfortunately, she’s bringing one of the most overrated sequels to Contrarians canon. Why are people so enamored with SCREAM 2? How can anyone buy the inexplicable relationship between Gale and Dewey? And what’s the appeal of Sydney, a heroine who seems basically unimpressed by all the horrific things happening in her life? Listen to Alex & Julio as they nitpick yet another Wes Craven movie!

Joey Tribbiani iiiiiinnnnn sssssspaaaaaaace… Did we buy Matt LeBlanc as an action hero? Did we buy this serious reboot of a 60s property as a viable franchise? This is where you find out. Also - and perhaps more importantly - a full rundown of what our LIVESTREAM FOR THE CURE segment will be like!

The Friendstravaganza begins! Join Alex & Julio as they celebrate a high point in Matt LeBlanc’s career: the much reviled LOST IN SPACE film adaptation - a movie that had the courage to take a campy sci-fi TV show and turn it into a dark gritty blockbuster adventure. Can Joey Tribbiani hold his own against Daddy William Hurt and Scene-Stealing Gary Oldman? You already know the answer!

This is Netflix’s second-best original film, according to patron Dan Brenic, but how does it fare on Alex and Julio’s personal rankings? Can you relate to PRIVATE LIFE if you have zero interest in ever having children? Who is this Kayli Carter and does she measure up to consummate pros like Giamatti and Hahn? Most importantly: can we ever see John Carroll Lynch as anyone but The Zodiac Killer?

PRIVATE LIFE could’ve been a ruthless exposé of a multimillion-dollar industry that preys on desperate souls who just want to raise a child or two. Or it could’ve been an edge-of-your-seat thriller about a husband & wife who take advantage of a clueless, idealistic young woman. Instead, it’s an artsy-fartsy drama about Paul Giamatti & Kathryn Hahn having a terrible marriage. Listen to Alex and Julio as they try to figure out who’s the least fit to be a parent in one of Netflix’s most acclaimed original movies!
