This year's October theme is Sam Neilloween! We'll be going deep on one of the most underrated and fearless actors of modern cinema, watching only Sam Neill-starring films all month. First up: the re-re-release of our episode on Jurassic Park, originally released in July 2022. Ben, Greg, Kyle, Lyndsey, and Ray discuss Neill's biggest film, the 1993 Steven Spielberg blockbuster that set a new standard for special effects in film (and also has that weird laugh that Jeff Goldblum does). It's weird they never made any legacy sequels to this one!

New month, new theme... after spending last month looking at the past, in September we're "going back to (look at) the future!" That means we'll be talking about movies set in the future relative to film's release but in a year that has already happened in the real world. For instance: 1990's "Predator 2", set in near-future 1997 in Los Angeles. Ben, Bree, Sam, and Vaz discuss the extremely sweaty, trash-strewn action of this non-Arnold sequel.
Directed by Stephen Hopkins and starring Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Ruben Blades, María Conchita Alonso, Bill Paxton, and Kevin Peter Hall.
