We discuss fun facts, the juicy baddie-ness of the Death Star, Luke's potential sociopathy, and the neverending relatability of C3P0's neurosis.

Good news! We’ve stopped drinking the Haterade and are putting our focus on the BRIGHT SIDE! On today’s ep, we’re discussing all the movies that we think would improve the world if everyone just sat down and watched them — after a particularly unhinged Movie News segment, that is.
Listen here for the The Award Goes To episode where Alex joined to discuss A Gentleman’s Agreement: HERE

What happens when you take Lindsay Lohan, Chris Pine, an adorable yet worryingly unsupervised child, Tovah Feldshuh with magic powers, progressively sex-work-positive messaging, George Bush's America, and a band of plucky young blokes from England, and put them all in a 2006 washing machine with too much Tide? Wellll you get JUST MY LUCK (2006). We're thrilled to be joined once again by Meredith Lynch for today's special bonus episode!

On today's ep, The Film Bros fly through the bamboo into the lush sets, epic love stories, masterful acting, and mind-blowing ass-kicking of Ang Lee's 2000 classic, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
But not before reading a listener email, derailing the convo into the world of self-insert fanfictions, and explaining to Steph what "smut" means...

won·der - a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable.
Steph discuses how every prolific director creates a sense of "wonder" in the viewer. You can define any of their styles with this little formula: adjective + "wonder".
For Spielberg, it's Childlike Wonder. For Tarantino, it's Violent Wonder. Duh!
