Rating Summary
Chris, Franco, and Jonathan open with Lord of the Rings banter and a story about Massachusetts replacing EZPass transponders with windshield stickers, plus a thrift-store reseller arguing with an AI. Chris gives quick reviews of Project Hail Mary (Andy Weir; favorite of the year), Paradise season two, Invincible season four (through episode four), and Netflix’s Radioactive Emergency about the 1987 Brazil cesium-137 disaster and its toll. Jonathan discusses Daredevil: Born Again season two and the Super Mario Galaxy movie. News includes Criterion physical releases for K-Pop Die Hunters and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, an HBO Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone series dated for Christmas, and Stephen Colbert co-writing a new Lord of the Rings film with an official logline shared. They preview upcoming TV (For All Mankind season five, a Darth Maul animated show, the final season of The Boys, The Testaments, and a Malcolm in the Middle special), note Chuck Norris’s death, list Blu-ray/4K releases, then review The Return of the King, praising its epic scope and scoring it 10/10. After initial next-movie picks, Chris announces April as “bad movie month,” selecting Mangus (2011) for the next episode.
