Mike Nichols just doesn't know how to be anything but awesome.

Mike Nichols was a bad ass. We both honestly feel bad for not realizing how much of a bad ass he was while he was alive.
I mean...
1 Grammy,
1 Oscar with an additional 4 nominations
4 Emmys, with an additional 2 nominations...
and 9 GODDAMNED TONY AWARDS WITH AN ADDITIONAL 9 GODDAMNED NOMINATIONS.
Oh, and he was a founder of Second City.
Honestly, this guy is next level. If you don't appreciate how great he was, you really need to do something about that.

Burt Reynolds at his worst is better than you will ever be.

Burt. Goddamn. Reynolds.
To men of a certain age there is no name that means masculinity and movie star quite as much. He is second only to Tom Cruise for the number of consecutive years spent as the BIGGEST BOX OFFICE STAR IN THE DAMNED WORLD! For these and many, many other reasons we decided it was high time to discuss the man, the myth, the God damned LEGEND that is Burton Leon Reynolds!

Few actors have had the range of public reception that Al Pacino has. He has been everything from national treasure to self parody, and has kicked every inch of ass that has come within kicking distance.
This week, at long, long last, we take a look at the journey of Alfredo James Pacino.

Sometimes a good idea goes horribly wrong. Back when the first two Halloween movies hit someone came up with an absolutely brilliant idea. How about create an anthology horror series that takes place during Halloween. Every year someone would make a stand alone horror film that would be released as part of the series. A new cast, new characters, new setting... It's brilliant.
Then this thing happened and ruined it all.
Join us as Jim watches "Halloween 3: Season of the Witch" for the first time with one of our progressive commentaries.
What is a progressive commentary? Well, rather than having to watch the movie with us and go through the incredibly difficult task of synchronization, we watch a movie 15 minutes at a time, then stop and talk about it. It's just like watching a movie with us, only without all the difficulty.
