Dan challenges Stuart and Elliott to lose as much money as they can by turning hit movies into bombs.

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.

Hi ho? More like HO HUM! Got ’em! Oooh Disney’s gonna be smarting from that sick burn so hard they’ve GOTTA stop making these lackluster remakes, right? Anyway, on this episode we welcome the great Rebecca Alter of Vulture.com to discuss the most already-forgotten of Disney’s IP-recycling death march, Snow White!

Back in the 80s and 90s, movies LOVED to end with a rap song that went over the plot to the movie you just saw. On this mini, Dan quizzes Stu and Elliott about some examples of wrap-up raps, followed by discussion questions to really dig into this particular cinematic-musical form.

Elliott had to dip out for an episode, so… how do you replace a troublemaking little scamp? How about: with the comforting, easy presence of Linda Holmes? We deserve a vacation too, y’know? And in this episode, we make good on a promise from Linda’s last appearance — to have her back to discuss that hearty slice of Christmas “content,” Red One. Back then, Linda sounded surprisingly fond of it. Is she still? Will the two extant Peaches agree?
