In this Movie-Go-Round Future Classics, Brett brought Inside Llewyn Davis to the panel as his pick. This looping odyssey traces one talented singer's travels in search of a big break in the folk music scene of 1961. Brett loves folk music, but what else did he love about the movie? David loves the Coen brothers, but did he love this sample of their work? And Nicole hated the main character, but appreciated the filmmaking. What was the final verdict? Connect with your hosts!

In this Movie-Go-Round Netflix Roulette, the wheel spit out a cult...well, not classic...but entertaining hybrid/knockoff of Fahrenheit 451 and the Matrix - Equilibrium. We had fun talking about this stew of melee gunfighting and antifascist diatribe, asking questions like How many dystopian novels can one movie rip off? Is Christian Bale being used to his full potential? What are the drugs supposed to do and why don't they seem to be working for Taye Diggs? Are they seriously going to shoot that puppy?

This Movie-Go-Round New to Two, and possibly to all of our listeners, was 2019's Captive State. A mid-budget sci-fi movie set ten years after a successful alien invasion, this story of resistance that includes two Black brothers trying to free the city of Chicago from an oppressive rule was one that may have deserved a wider audience. It's pretty messy in the edit, with some underdeveloped characters and not enough budget for its ambition, but Nicole thought it had saving graces. How did co-hosts David and Brett feel about it?

In this Movie-Go-Round You Did This to Us, you did this to us... again. We had to watch a film that nearly topples over from the weight of its own bad science, The Happening! Listen as Brett, David, and Nicole tear their hair out over the impossible-to-swallow premise, illogical behavior of the characters, horrible dialogue, and waste of an "R" rating.
