311 - SWORDFISH

June’s strange theme of early-00s tech thrillers starring A-list Scientologists that also briefly feature William Mapother concludes with the Huge Act-Man/Halle Berry movie Swordfish, a film illegal to watch on anything other than a very ragged previously-rented VHS or scratched up DVD straight from the Blockbuster remainder sale. What delights will be discovered in the filmography of Skip Woods, the imdb page of Thomas Jefferson and the 2002 Critics Choice Award winners? And good god is there anything even in this film to grab on to?

186 - GOTTI

Oh gotti, protect us. Andrew insists on watching a film directed by E from Entourage, and brings Johnny down with him.

Taxi Cab Confessions as the duo sit in with Evil Tom Cruise and talk jams, Robert Battinson and contract killings. Will Johnny fall in love with the acclaimed thriller, or will Nick Nolte ruin everything by spoiling his upcoming film Angel Has Fallen?

132 - THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE

Grimy 70s New York is back and on track as Andrew and Johnny discuss hostage-taking, perfect crimes and whatever the Joker movie is going to be. Tangents are fun, but keeping to train-like schedule is as shockingly good a time.

A Saga Of The Year 3000 - As Requested By Thomas Walker

024 - MAGNOLIA
