For their 207th episode, two long-driving film critics, two short-putting dads, and two gold jacket-wearing teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan have kept returning guest, Cati Glidewell of The Blonde in Front and Film Obsessive, to talk about one more summer entertainment target. They bit the nostalgia bug to experience Netflix's "Happy Gilmore 2," celebrating the return of comedy legend Adam Sandler to one of his most hallowed characters. The trouble was the 10 pounds of cameo-rich, checkbox-filling sugar that was stuffed in a 5-pound bag. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate.

For their 203rd episode, two list-making film critics, two highly ranked dads, and two Top 100 teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, take this new episode as an editorial chance to talk about the hubbub created in the cinephile world recently when The New York Times asked for public input to create a master list of the Top 100 films of the 21st Century so far (never mind that there's still six months of 2025 left, but I digress). The hosts highlight their official Top 10 submissions, comparing similarities and differences, and seeing which of their picks made the final list.

For their 202nd episode, two sneak-attacking film critics, two camoflauged dads, and two warrior teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, draw their swords and pistols on a frequently-mentioned franchise on the podcast: the "Predator" series. In June, Hulu released the stunningly animated "Predator: Killer of Killers," which continues the new stewardship of writer-director Dan Trachtenberg, who put "Predator" back in the intimating and scary side of cinema with "Prey" a few years ago. The new anthology-structured film pulls off action that would burst fake arteries and budgets in live-action, but look like a million bucks animated. And, look at "Predator" start to paint with a little L.O.R.E. with its portending connections! Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate.

For their 201st episode, two mask-pulling film critics, two special agent dads, and two stuntman teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, begin a group of retrospective episodes reflecting on the recently finalized "Mission: Impossible" franchise. Taking them a pair at a time, this first episode covers Brian De Palma's "Mission: Impossible" from 1996 and its wild 2000 sequel "M:I-2" from director John Woo. Will and Don are united in praising these two standalone adventures that flaunted what made Tom Cruise and this series interesting and cool before the larger and increasingly overinflated arc would take over later.
