The Future
Wondering what’s coming up next? Here’s the next batch of movies we’ll be tackling in upcoming episodes. Consider them your Contrarians Homework!
The pancake from another world.
Episode 242 (7/4) - Independence Day

Episode 243 (7/21) - Armageddon
Even if all Armageddon did was set up the stage for Aerosmith to win an MTV Movie Award for Best Song, its existence would deserve praise. But then the movie also won Best Action Sequence, and it gave us the ultimate space battle: oil drillers vs asteroid!
Sauron is coming for Earth.
You just couldn’t trust white women in The 90s.
Episode 244 (7/31) - The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
Rebecca De Mornay won the MTV Movie Award for Best Villain thanks to her take on “Mentally Disturbed White Woman Seeking Revenge” - a staple of The 90s.
