It’s Smalltember (Elliott pops into frame to say “Smallvember!”) — that special time of year when we allow ourselves to stray from big Hollywood movies to examine some tinier, more idiosyncratic pictures. And boy howdy is Lumina idiosyncratic! So we welcomed actor Ashlie Atkinson (The Gilded Age, The Lost Bus, Mr. Robot and much more) to help decipher the madness!

Elliott provides a survey of cinema’s eponymous doctors, and asks us whether we’d trust them with our medical care.

It’s rare that a movie gets embraced as a new classic in badness as quickly as Amazon’s War of the Worlds, but hey — they’re known for their fast delivery. Maybe they’re just the future of bad movies, “disrupting” the bad movie space with their boldly incompetent visions! We discuss the (overwhelmingly listener-requested) new WotW!

Stuart takes us on a tour of the biggest summer releases of the past couple of decades.
