Does the How to Train your Dragon live-action remake hit the heights of the original, or does it fail and join the ranks of some many remakes before it?

Dragons is our feature discussion this week, but things get fiery elsewhere as we get into honorary Oscars (congrats, Tom Cruise), and the latest bit of casting news for the DCU’s CLAYFACE along with the current state of news vs. rumors in the film world.

We catch up on the latest SUMMER MOVIE WAGER update and make some lil bets for next week’s box office outcome. Can Pixar’s Elio reign supreme, or will 28 Years Later give us a surprise?!

Plus we catch up on the latest trailers for The Naked Gun and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere!

And, of course, we catch up on what we’re into, from Predator: Killer of Killers to Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme!

It's a hearty discussion with strong opinions, and as always, we want to hear yours on the subjects. So be sure to tune or check us out on youtube, like and subscribe, and let us know your thoughts!

This week we’re in with not one, not two, but three special episodes and for part two of these specials we’re taking you along into another realm… the realm of Fortnite.

Yes, for some reason we saw the new Lilo and Stitch film, we liked it, and we liked it so much we decided to review it whilst we played Fortnite!

Does this new fuzzy, blue alien stand up to the original? Could this be the best Disney live-action remake so far? It certainly wouldn’t be saying much if it was, but we go there anyway.

It’s a bit of fun, a bit of silliness, a lil ridiculous, but then again, so are all these live-action remakes! Plus who doesn’t like to watch 3 grown men struggle in a video game?

The Last of Us Season 2 has wrapped and so we bring two different type of Last of Us Players to review the HBO Series. One who just finished playing The Last of Us Part 2 and one who has played it multiple times. What did you think of the series?

It’s a vibes heavy episode this week as the nerds get together to talk shop about some of the newest trailers they’ve been excited to watch. With two dads on the pod, Zootopia 2 is definitely getting some buzz and of course the second trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth is raising some eye brows.

Plus, the latest season of Fortnite has the nerds’ blasters set to FUN! But not so much for the SAG union who has some qualms about the use of AI generated voice work for the late James Earl Jones.

There’s some talk of Quentin Tarantino stepping away from movie making but that isn’t stopping him from blessing the world with more BOOKS! Ed about bursts with joy when he tells the nerds about the new series of coffee table books coming from one of the best directors in the game.

Then it’s all wrapped up with “What We’re Into” as Ed and Luis discuss The Rehearsal, The Studio, Havoc, The Misfits and so much more! Oh, and Miguel is STILL talking about Spiderman 2?? Oh boy.
