You Did This to Us! On this Movie-Go-Round, you made us watch Monster House to kick off this year's Movie-GHOUL-Round. As beloved as this is in some quarters, Brett, David, and Nicole all had their issues with it. We all dug in to the problems, including a disappointing lack of sparkle from a script written by Rick and Morty's Dan Harmon, and some confusing casting choices. Love this movie? Tune in this episode and yell at us! Leave us a scathing email! Berate us on Facebook! Come on, we dare you! Remember: Movie-Ghoul-Round runs this week as a marathon through Halloween evening!

A black-and-white movie about a domestic servant in 1970s Mexico doesn't necessarily sound like one of the more visually and emotionally compelling films you'll ever see. We'd all been intending to watch it, but Brett was the one who chose this Movie-Go-Round Around the World for himself, David, and Nicole. As it turns out, we were all swept away by Roma. Watch it before you listen, watch it after you listen, watch it on your phone if you have to, but watch it. (But maybe don't watch it on public transportation, which is where Nicole was when the nude scene started. Oops.) Connect with your hosts!

In this Movie-Go-Round Future Classics, Nicole took a chance and pitched the documentary Cave of Forgotten Dreams to David and Brett. Werner Herzog uses his exploration of the Chauvet cave in France to see mankind's oldest known cave paintings and explore the origin of imagination and the soul. Nicole uses this movie as an excuse to explore the nature of documentaries specifically and cinema in general. All of us basked in Herzog's hypnotic narration and his knack for finding the quirks in the cave researchers. But will this film be a classic? Check it out and weigh in! Here is the link to the Smithsonian piece Brett references on the show. Connect with your hosts!

In this Movie-Go-Round Netflix Roulette, the wheel us this movie that a lot of people chose to forget, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Although it shared a lot of elements (including some highly problematic ones) with its predecessors, many fans of the franchise savaged this film. Is it really that bad? Are aliens any more "out there" than explicit divine intervention? What is up with monkeys in these movies? Join Brett, David, and Nicole as they try answer these questions and give this movie the benefit of the doubt. Connect with your hosts!
