The episode in which the force awakens new box office records, Tarantino is pushed out of the Cinerama Dome, Dreamworks becomes Amblin Partners, Netflix streaming requires less bandwidth, Mad Max might get a black and white re-release, Terminator 2 is returning in 3D, Disneyland takes safety precautions, Sean Penn is Andrew Jackson on HBO, and Amazon renews three shows (including my darling Red Oaks).

Welcome to the all Star Wars episode where we start with Disney’s first installment in the galactic opera, then search our feelings for our opinions on the rest of the saga.
Debt to Cinema 013: Bad Santa
Santa only comes once a year, so it seemed like the perfect time for Steve to watch him with some of his ho-ho-hoes. Hope our voices help warm you up, but if they don’t be sure to send us some feedback.
Two Cents 025: Virtually a Reality
The episode in which we speculate what The Hateful Eight announcement will be, review Amazon’s premium add-on subscription offerings, Netflix doubling original content in 2016, VR feeling closer than ever/my first impressions of Google Cardboard, Ang Lee returning to 3D filmmaking, The Rock making an 80s style buddy action comedy, Lionsgate possibly making prequels to The Hunger Games, Universal’s shared monster universe casting rumors, and Mr. Robot season 2 being helmed entirely by Sam Esmail.

Debt to Cinema 012: Gremlins
Tis the season and also time for Steve to finally see a holiday classic. This one is for the people that enjoy snow the most when its dark, and sprinkled in blood. Fun Fact: Steve literally bought this for a dollar from his library.
Two Cents 024: Not Prime Time
The episode in which I complain about Chi-Raq not being on Amazon Prime yet, Mad Max is an awards contender, Star Wars continues to be talked about, Google is creating a streaming library, Dave Chappelle cracks down on phone usage at shows, Max Landis is Lex Luthor, The Duplass Brothers are writing a book of essays, Trainspotting 2 is official, Peter Jackson might be doing Doctor Who, Samurai Jack is returning, DirecTV will broadcast live 4K content, and Nokia’s Ozo VR camera hits the big leagues.
