Luke Shanahan returns to the show to discuss Elaine May's Mikey & Nicky starring the legendary duo of John Cassavetes and Peter Falk.

It's 3 movies for the price of 1 this week, as Shane and Lucien dig into Richard Linklater's classic trilogy of romances Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.

We've reached No. 16 on Lucien's list of the 25 best films of the century: Miranda July's offbeat 2005 independent comedy(ish) Me and You and Everyone We Know.

Cultural journalist and host of the NO ENCORE podcast, Dave Hanratty, joins Shane and Lucien to discuss JC Chandor's 2019 black ops thriller Triple Frontier and a long-awaited dive into the careers of Ben Affleck and Oscar Isaac.

It's number 17 on Lucien's list of the 25 best films of the century so far: Sean Baker's 2017 indie classic The Florida Project.

This week we're having a long overdue Clint Eastwood conversation, as he co-stars with Hilary Swank in his 2004 Best Picture winner Million Dollar Baby, a boxing drama with a refreshingly dark third act twist.

Lucien discusses the No. 18 best film of the last 25 years: Terry Zwigoff's 2001 comic-book adaptation Ghost World starring Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson and Steve Buscemi.

It's our 75th episode, and we're welcoming friend of the show and the boys' former podcasting comrade Eoghan for his first appearance, discussing Shane Black's 2016 noir comedy The Nice Guys, and its stars Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling!
