Never shame the hero’s sword.

We’re doing things a little differently this time around. The first half of this episode is dedicated to remembering the lives and legacies of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, who passed away this week. Josh and Jesse share their favorite movie moments from these two icons and reflect on the formative experiences that made them lifelong fans.

Then, back to regularly scheduled programming: a discussion on new releases (from Umbrella, Shout Factory, Third Window Films, and more) followed by the Feature Presentation–Aleksandr Ptushko’s epic Soviet fantasy film, Ilya Muromets.
