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

It was ridiculously funny back in 1996, it’s depressingly funny in 2025. Can you believe there was a time when we could actually pretend the US would be able to rally the world and lead all other countries in a battle against alien forces?


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.
