21 - Comic-Con!

San Diego Comic-Con is the epicenter of all things nerdy in the world. It is here that major movie studios break the news of their biggest and most exciting projects in the pipeline to thousands of sweaty, awkward cosplayers. Join us this week as we break down DC's ambitious upcoming slate, fan-girl over new Clone Wars episodes, get hyped about monster fights, and just generally geek out over the biggest nerd convention on the planet.

20 - Ant-man and the Wasp

Ant-man and the Wasp is the first Marvel movie since the last Avengers and it's smaller scale makes it a good reprieve from the heavier fare of Infinity War. But is it better than Transformers? Join us this week as we also discuss the new Fast & Furious spin-off, discover the Uncharted fan film, and commiserate about too many Joker movies.

19 - Westworld: Season 2

Happy 4th of July everyone! We're celebrating Independence Day by exercising our first amendment right to bitch about what a garbage show Westworld turned into in its second season. Join us this week as we reveal the new Avengers title, revisit The Last Jedi, and discover that Tom Holland might be the perfect fit for a Back to the Future reboot.

18 - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Finally, a movie about well-behaved dinosaurs who stay in their cages and never cause trouble. LOL JK. This week we're doing Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Hollywood's fifth PSA that dinosaurs do not make good pets. But is it better than Transformers? We also discuss the new Creed trailer, the current state of Star Wars, and the least fatal Game of Thrones wedding yet.

17 - Incredibles 2

Incredibles 2 is the smash hit sequel to Disney's original animated smash hit about a superpowered family and their stylish, fun, action-packed adventures together. This movie is definitely better than Transformers, we can't even pretend it's not. But listen in for our commentary anyway and we'll also reward you with some details on what DC films have been up to lately, speculate wildly about the new Jurassic World movie, and come up with a better version of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

16 - Ocean's 8

Ocean's 8 is the female-led sequel in the franchise that proves that crime does pay and that jewelry theft is super duper cool when good-looking Hollywood stars do it. But is it better than Transformers? Join us this week as we break down a bunch of recent trailers, dig into some upcoming Game of Thrones prequels, and discuss why Coco is really disturbing for a kids movie.

15 - Best (and Worst) Prequels

A prequel is a movie that comes after another movie but also happens before that movie somehow? It's like time travel but for lazy, uncreative screenwriters. Yet from this pool of mediocrity, some truly notable films and TV shows occasionally emerge. This week we break down some of the highlights of the art form and work our way down to the lowlights. We also finally get to hear Christian's take on Alex Garland's Annihilation and entirely forget to compare anything at all to Michael Bay's Transformers. 

14 - Solo: A Star Wars Story

Solo takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away as we follow the early chronicles and misadventures of the most charming scoundrel in the Star Wars universe (or any universe for that matter). It's an origin movie filled with heists, colorful characters, and a lot of fan service. But is it better than Transformers? Join us this week as we discuss why Boba Fett is overrated, forget who David Lynch is, and generally agree that Kingdom Hearts is the greatest game ever made.

13 - Deadpool 2

Deadpool 2 is a highly anticipated superhero sequel following the meta-humored meta-human Wade Wilson on his profanity and violence filled adventures that also contain a surprising amount of heart. But is it better than Transformers? Join us this week as we also break down some new trailers, discuss Jake Gyllenhaal's casting as Mysterio, and delve into why Westworld seaon 2 sucks.

12 - Deadpool

Deadpool is about a wise-cracking, dick-joke-making, fourth-wall-breaking, super-powered mercenary named Wade Wilson who uses guns, swords and testicle humor to solve his problems. It was a smashing Valentine's Day success from 2016 and spawned a hotly anticipated sequel due out this week. But is it better than Transformers? Join us this week as we discuss which network shows got the axe, Jordan Peele's newest project, and how Deadpool stacks up against the most mediocre movie ever made.
