- You Did This to Us. You made us watch the weirdly beloved Encino Man. Some of our crew had affection for this movie, and some did not. But we all marveled at the neat trick of making Pauly Shore likable, and Sean Astin despicable. We discussed the hazards of digging pools by hand, the ever-present rap rock, the stereotypes aplenty, and the saga of Brendan Fraser, among other things. Come check it out! Connect with your hosts!

Russia's first superhero genre effort was Nicole's pick for our Around the World. Big, loud, and cheesy, this movie has a werebear in it. Do you really need to know anything else? What did David and Brett think?

It's Future Classics time, and this round, David proposes the animated children's movie about dead people, Coco.

Netflix Roulette brought us our first "Nollywood" (Nigerian) movie, Mokalik. A well-off young teen is slacking off at school, and his father brings him to apprentice at a "mechanic's village" for a day, to expose him to an unpleasant alternative. We were all fascinated by this work model that doesn't exist in the U.S., but were the laid-back filmmaking approach and performances enough to hold our interest? (edited) Connect with your hosts!
