It's time to take a trip to deep space, movie lovers! In this episode, we take a look at the mid-90s sci-fi schlock-fest, Stargate. Richard thinks this movie is too good for our "Summer Camp" series (Leasha disagrees), but we both agree it's a good guilty pleasure time travel adventure. Take a walk with us through the Stargate as we discuss Jackson's passion for ancient cultures, O'Neil's no-nonsense leadership, the military goons, the language barriers, Ra's fierceness, and the problems with Jackson's future on a rudimentary planet. Grab a 5th Avenue bar and tuck in!

EVERYONE!!! We are back with a new episode, and this time, we dive into the 90s action arthouse film "Leon: The Professional" (or whatever your territory decided to call it).

We'll discuss Leon's childlike sensibility, Matilda's many traumas, Oldman's ad libs, the sweeping score, the controversies, the French style, and more. So join us as we open the door on this bloody, but still brilliant film.
