    #317 -Trial by Algorithm: Can Alexa Judge as well as Rebecca Ferguson?
    2026/04/20

    “We did what we are programmed to do and we all make mistakes... human or AI.” Grab your headphones and settle in at the coffee table! This week, Mike and Stephen are diving into the 2026 sci-fi thriller Mercy, starring Chris Pratt as a detective who has exactly 90 minutes to prove his innocence to a "perfect" AI judge. We’re breaking down the "no-fat" real-time pacing, the terrifying reality of trial-by-social-media polls, and why the "glitches" in the system are the most interesting part of the movie. Joining us for this high-tech deep dive: Megan Shanks: Bringing the next-gen perspective on whether we should trust the algorithm. Alexa: Who literally eavesdropped on our prep and decided she was co-hosting this one. (We aren’t kidding—she’s in the studio!)

    #315 - Clocks, Glocks, and the Tracksuit Mafia
    2026/04/06
    Stephen is out on vocal rest this week, so Michael is bringing in the big guns—literally. Special guest host Brenda joins the show for her very first Statham experience as we peel back the layers of the "Underworld Onion" in the blue-collar action thriller, Levon's Trade (aka Working Man). We’re breaking down why Jason Statham is the ultimate "Ghost" in a construction vest and celebrating the real MVP of the movie: the scrappy, bite-happy Jenny Garcia. From "Andy Warhol" lookalike assassins and "Penguin" villains to the legendary "Ma dresses you funny" tracksuit burn, we’re covering every explosive entrance and tactical takedown. Plus, we debut our brand-new rating system: The M14 Scale. Does the "Working Man" earn a perfect 10, or does the corrupt "War Council" ruin the vibe? We’re saving the final scores for the air—tune in to find out if this mission was a "Debt of Honor" worth paying! Support the show: Make sure to visit our affiliate sponsor Live Bearded.
