This week the guys return to a galaxy far, far, away to discuss the latest chapter of the Star Wars franchise, Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Does it answer any of the questions established in Episode VII? Is it better than Rogue One? Who is the last Jedi? Why is there a lightsaber fight going on inside Average Joe's head?

Dec 11, 2017

A potential business deal between 21st Century Fox and Disney will decide the fate of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Avatar franchise, and many other aspects of Hollywood. Will the US government block the deal? Should the Marvel characters owned by Fox be integrated into the existing MCU? The guys speculate on what may happen.

Then we take a trip to stock footage of San Francisco for a green screen roof, tuxedo football, and some of the most interesting acting you will ever see with 2003's "The Room". How has this famously bad film developed a cult following? What does AJ-Squared this of this "best worst movie?".

Nov 27, 2017

If you had to summarize this week's episode in a few words, they would definitively be "more than meets the eye".

Asian Jon and Average Joe look back on Justice League's second weekend at the box office and cry over what the future of the DC movie universe looks like in light of the news; but is there hope for this franchise?

Then we take a trip back to 1986 to then go to 2005 which is the future but is actually the past for us in 2017 to talk about "The Transformers: The Movie". How does the classic animated series translate to the big screen? What were the reasons for deciding to make a major motion picture about these characters? How does it hold up? Does it compare to the live action films? Does Average Joe get to keep his $50?
