For a very special 500th episode, the guys welcome multimedia artist Pierre Bennu—a longtime friend of the show—into the conversation, and the topic is favorite decades of film.

2026/04/24

Every now and then the episode title itself is such a thing of descriptive beauty, it’s a shame to elaborate in paragraph form. But indeed, this dose of Schmovie includes discussion of Luc Besson’s Dracula, this year’s Oscar ceremony, the second season of Jury Duty, and… MORE.
