This week, our pick has to feature “a prolonged chase sequence integral to the plot.” And so, we watch 1993’s “The Fugitive” starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones; this movie IS a prolonged chase sequence.

We also explore the Character Alignment table, created as a moral and ethical perspective for characters in the RPG Dungeons and Dragons.

So please join our always chaotically neutral conversation. And remember, we didn’t kill our wife!

Buckle up because we're rolling right into the first episode under our new theme: "In the Shadow of Giants." This one's all about flicks where folks are dwarfed by towering figures—be it a boss, a celeb, or some unstoppable influence—and they've gotta scramble to find their own path amid the chaos.

Naturally, we've got a twist to crank up the intrigue: this episode demands a "Non-Traditional Villain," so we're talking foes that aren't your standard mustache-twirler, but something sneakier like a faceless system, Mother Nature's wrath, or the monsters lurking in one's own head.

Satisfying the demands of our digital deities with a perfect match, we're sinking our teeth into the 2024 chiller 'The Substance.' Follow faded celebrity Elisabeth as she unleashes a bizarre serum to spawn a flawless, youthful clone called Sue—who quickly steals the spotlight, leaving Elisabeth battling her own creation in a grotesque tug-of-war. The true adversary? Society's ruthless obsession with youth and perfection, amplified by the drug's nightmarish consequences.

Like always, we'll wander into side chats on Hollywood's brutal beauty game, the perils of chasing eternal youth, and any wild tangents that strike our fancy.

We close out our “One Last Chance” theme with Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, about a mother (Frances McDormand) trying to provoke the local police department in an effort to reinvigorate the stalled investigation into the murder of her daughter. The shakeup this week was that the film must have come out within the last ten years, and this one fits the bill (board), having been released in 2017.

We also talk about the top ten films with the longest titles, as well as some history of billboard advertising. If that doesn’t pique your interest, we’re not sure what would!
