Lethal Weapon 3
Strap in for non-stop thrills as Sam and Will spend the holiday break with 1992's Lethal Weapon 3, aka "the one where Joe Pesci's sort of peeking over the other guys' shoulders on the poster." It's high-octane action as we unpack Riggs and Murtaugh's toxic codependency and ponder if maybe they'd be better off with other people. Also Will pronounces Murtaugh with a hard G, but Sam doesn't give him crap about it because they have a healthy relationship.

187. A Christmas Episode
Sam and Will discuss the angel Gabriel's announcements to both Zachariah and Mary. The various details surrounding these two announcements carry tremendous significance against the backdrop of the Old Testament. A prophet with the spirit and power of Elijah has returned to usher in the Messiah, and a prophet even greater than Samuel has come to anoint a King FAR greater than David!

Sam and Will talk about the disturbing ethics of the Roman world in the first century. The gospel produced a seismic shift in the world's view of women, the poor, the sick, and the enslaved -- giving birth to modern ethics that we now take for granted.

One Piece (Ch. 1-25) - Will reads his First MANGA!
Firstly, sorry for the audio quality! Sam accidentally used the built-in microphone again. We've tweaked it as much as we are capable of so hopefully it's not too jarring! Secondly, this is another change for the books! We're reviewing the first 25 chapters of the One Piece manga! As Will has just picked this up, we thought we would check in periodically to catch his thoughts and build in some interesting discussion around this huge piece of Weeb culture! Enjoy!

Alien 3
It's time for a look at the Alien saga's gloomiest and most divisive chapter, 1992's Alien 3, a movie that boldly doesn't care if you liked the ending of Aliens. Spend an hour with Sam and Will as they break down what works (Sigourney Weaver, David Fincher) and what doesn't (pretty much everything else). Then stick around as they talk about other random stuff for like 15 minutes! (Music: Backbeat by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/) via Creative Commons license.

Three Third Predators
It's a triple feature of Part 3s this week, as Sam and Will face off against the galaxy's deadliest hunter not once, not twice, but THREE times as the Predator franchise tries time and again to restart itself, first with 2004's Alien vs. Predator, then with 2010's Predators and finally with 2018's The Predator. At least Predator 2 isn't ashamed to admit it's a sequel to something. Music: Backbeat by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/) via Creative Commons license.

Jaws 3-D
Summer's here, and Podcast Part 3 is back... coming to you live from SeaWorld! Hope you like endless B-roll of waterskiiers and a lot of out-of-focus camera work, because Sam and Will watched Jaws 3-D, starring Dennis Quaid, Louis Gossett, Jr., Lea Thompson, Manimal, the mom from My So-Called Life, and the most rigid and unrealistic fiberglass shark since... well, Jaws 2.

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
This week, we move forward with Star Wars but also back in time?! We've done Episode VI, so logically Episode III should be next, right?. If you're confused, then congratulations... you're in the prequel trilogy, and we're watching 2005's Revenge of the Sith! Thrill as Palpatine transitions from normal-face Chancellor to monster-face Emperor, while Sam and Will break down Star Wars' "quiet years" before the prequels, and beat a very-dead horse by proclaiming this movie a decent threequel but also a lava-scorched hot mess.

Friday the 13th Part III (in 3D!)
Put on your 3D glasses now! Sam and Will are headed to Crystal Lake for a relaxing weekend with newly hockey-masked Jason Voorhees in 1982's Friday the 13th Part III. Get ready to duck and dodge 3D baseball bats, wallets, joints, eyeballs, yo-yos and more eyeballs as Friday the 13th nails down the slasher formula that would carry Jason through nine more movies. (And by formula we mean sex, death and wandering into old barns and cabins.) Music: Backbeat by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/) via Creative Commons license.

It's not Christmas, but that's okay 'cause we're watching the Die Hard that isn't a Christmas movie! That's right, it's time for 1995's Die Hard with a Vengeance... aka the one with Samuel L. Jackson!
