Summary

The Brendans are back - like in some sort of sequel to a previous installment - with a triple threat main show to make up for lost time. To celebrate the return of Summer Blockbuster Season, the lads dive spoiler-deep into Hokum , Mortal Kombat II , and The Sheep Detectives (one of the best movies of the year*). We also chat catchup on news and trailers - like Ken Russell's The Devils' new 4K Director's Cut and LAIKA's mesmerizing Wildwood trailer - and talk viewings from Obsession to Humint to the 1986 Top Gun in IMAX. Our Opening/Closing Music is from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): "Skies of Hope" by RA https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/skies-of-hope You can follow Foley on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and/or read his work on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cinapse⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (like his piece on Adam Scott's performance in Hokum ), and you can follow Agnew on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , writing at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cinapse⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ occasionally, and wherever you can bloody well find him.
