Ok, so maybe Matthew Perry can only play (variations of) Chandler Bing. But is that a bad thing? And how can anyone discuss ALMOST HEROES without talking about Chris Farley’s legacy and how it was cut short? Can Alex come to terms with Julio’s feelings about one of his favorite comedians? Can Julio explain why his favorite FRIENDS cast member didn’t become a movie star? All this and more on the Real Talk half of this episode!

The Friendstravaganza has reached its Chandler Bing chapter. Could we BE any more excited to celebrate Matthew Perry’s critically panned team-up with Chris Farley? ALMOST HEROES stands at a disastrous 5% on the Tomatometer, but is that simply a reflection of an America that hates it when its movie stars take big swings? Listen to Alex & Julio as they shine the spotlight back on one of those rare Christopher Guest movies that isn’t a mockumentary!

Do you need to be familiar with the ins and outs of British soccer in order to appreciate Tom Hooper’s early work? And will THE DAMNED UNITED mark a turning point in this show’s contentious relationship with the acclaimed director’s filmography? Listen to Alex & Julio navigate their feelings about the filmmaker’s second movie with the help of a set of notes from Patron Ben Murray!

The disconnect between British behavior in normal life and British behavior in sports has never been more obvious than when it comes to soccer. So why didn’t THE DAMNED UNITED explore that dichotomy instead of celebrating the career of a dude who couldn’t even last two months on his most high-profile job? Listen to Alex & Julio tackle yet another critical darling in Tom Hooper’s filmography and try to figure out if Michael Sheen is worthy of his legendary last name!

Guys, our segment on this year’s Livestream for the Cure was a success. This is just a brief (by our standards) bonus episode where we thank all of you who were there, and fill in some details to those of you who weren’t. Let’s do it again next year!

Regardless of whether they think SCREAM 2 is a good movie (and a good sequel), can Alex forgive the fact that Julio can’t quote the original SCREAM page & verse? That might be the real conflict in this Real Talk segment. But also: is this a Kevin Williamson movie directed by Wes Craven, or a Wes Craven movie written by Kevin Williamson? And can we complain about SCREAM 5 spoilers when we drop SCREAM 3 spoilers in this episode?

The Friendstravaganza moves on to its second chapter, as Courteney Cox finds herself in the spotlight! Unfortunately, she’s bringing one of the most overrated sequels to Contrarians canon. Why are people so enamored with SCREAM 2? How can anyone buy the inexplicable relationship between Gale and Dewey? And what’s the appeal of Sydney, a heroine who seems basically unimpressed by all the horrific things happening in her life? Listen to Alex & Julio as they nitpick yet another Wes Craven movie!

Joey Tribbiani iiiiiinnnnn sssssspaaaaaaace… Did we buy Matt LeBlanc as an action hero? Did we buy this serious reboot of a 60s property as a viable franchise? This is where you find out. Also - and perhaps more importantly - a full rundown of what our LIVESTREAM FOR THE CURE segment will be like!

The Friendstravaganza begins! Join Alex & Julio as they celebrate a high point in Matt LeBlanc’s career: the much reviled LOST IN SPACE film adaptation - a movie that had the courage to take a campy sci-fi TV show and turn it into a dark gritty blockbuster adventure. Can Joey Tribbiani hold his own against Daddy William Hurt and Scene-Stealing Gary Oldman? You already know the answer!

This is Netflix’s second-best original film, according to patron Dan Brenic, but how does it fare on Alex and Julio’s personal rankings? Can you relate to PRIVATE LIFE if you have zero interest in ever having children? Who is this Kayli Carter and does she measure up to consummate pros like Giamatti and Hahn? Most importantly: can we ever see John Carroll Lynch as anyone but The Zodiac Killer?
