– JD’s Story (4:48)
To open the show this week, JD tells a story of taking his son to see Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 as it re-released in theaters last week. We all have those movies that are near and dear to us that we cherish, and there’s something special about getting to share those moments with your children. For JD, it ended up being a near-religious experience getting to have that moment last week.

– The Movie Critic (26:33)
There was a report last week that leaked a potential premise for Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming final film dubbed The Movie Critic that would have seen his previous movies existing in the same universe. It would have seen all of his classic characters (and the actors that portrayed them) come back into the fold for Tarantino. We wanted to talk about how fascinating that could have been given Tarantino’s style and approach to cinema.

– Best Picture Movie Series: Rebecca (1:01:24)
We begin our Best Picture Movie Series in the 1940s and with Alfred Hitchcock’s 1940 classic Rebecca. It’s hailed as one of Hitchcock’s best films and one of the better Oscar winners for Best Picture. For the most part we do reiterate that praise, however; there are a few questions raised as to the final act and its somewhat strange narrative detour.
