The boys are back! With a new GHOSTBUSTERS sequel about to hit theaters, we thought it was a perfect time to visit the summer of '89 and rewatch their FIRST follow-up, GHOSTBUSTER II. It remains a polarizing flick 35 years after its debut but we still think there's lots to love about the second GB flick, from its re-teaming of the titular quarter to the spooky special effects and more. Listen separately or watch along with us as we talk through behind-the-scenes stories, amusing anecdotes and other stray observations!

It was 1989 and the magic was back as Mel Gibson and Danny Glover reteamed for LETHAL WEAPON 2!

Listen separately or watch along as we offer up behind-the-scenes stories, humorous asides and even an insight or two on one of the greatest sequels ever made!

Plus: Kevin Costner's ambitious new western HORIZON, remembering Richard Lewis and much more!

For our latest commentary track, the MovieFilm boys delve into the hidden recesses of David Lynch's DUNE! Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, the film flopped upon its initial release but has nonetheless become a beloved cult artifact in the intervening decades. And with the release of DUNE PART TWO upon us, it seemed a perfect time to revisit this fascinating failure. So slip into your stillsuits and keep your thumper handy as we search for wormsign!

Sony's MADAME WB is in theaters now, and we have plenty to say about the Dakota Johnson-starring Spider-Man spin-off. Is it as lousy as the word-of-mouth, or is it a hidden gem waiting for rediscovery? Listen in to hear our thoughts! Plus: JURASSC PARK 7 find its director! Super Bowl movie trailers!

For our latest commentary we decided to mix things up by watching 1999's SHE'S ALL THAT, celebrating its 25th anniversary this week. The high school reinvention of PYGMALION was a phenomenon upon its release a quarter century ago, but how does it stack up with decades of hindsight? Listen separately or watch along as we talk through the Freddie Prinze Jr./Rachael Leigh Cook rom-com, with plenty of behind-the-scenes stories and personal reflections along the way. Is it a bet? You bet!
