We conclude Season Seven with the film that many Potterheads consider to be the finest in the series. The third entry, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was directed by the auteur Alfonso Cuarón. It is possible that it's somehow overrated? Or is it worthy of all the praise? Guest Jake Valkusky is back to discuss.

Did you know there was a sequel to Chinatown? Jack Nicholson starred in, directed it, and unofficially co-wrote it. And almost nobody knows it exists. You would think this would have been a bigger deal. Why wasn't The Two Jakes better?

What we got was an awkward blend of genuine comedy and surprising drama. Has it improved with age since its lukewarm reception? Guest Brian Anderson returns to share his thoughts.

With Tom Cruise at his absolute peak, and directed by action master John Woo, Mission: Impossible 2 was a massively successful sequel upon release in 2000. It's also universally derided as the weakest entry in the series. Since there's a new one coming out we decided to cover it. Why is Mi 2 such an outlier? Guest Tom Paradiso joins to discuss.

Ant-Man was not an A-list Marvel superhero. Paul Rudd was an unconventional choice to headline a blockbuster. And yet Ant-Man found favor with audiences. The Edgar Wright what if left others wondering if it couldn't have been better. Patrick and Anton talk about shrinkage.

Our very first Jackie Chan movie is the second entry in his most beloved Hong Kong action series. Police Story 2 is often described as the least of the original trilogy. Is that actually true? Guest Kai Wang joins to discuss.
