Be very very quiet... we're being hunted by giant rabbits (they've got big ears... get it?) We're not going to take a vow of silence when talking about John Krasinski's "A Quiet Place". In fact, we'd probably be shouting "go see it!" from the rooftops if we didn't already have noise complaints from yelling at each other on every episode. We probably wouldn't survive the silent apocalypse because we'd be too busy nitpicking every little detail... unless this is one of those rare episodes when Matt and Shahir are in complete agreement!? Also, stick around till the very end to hear a surprise guest cameo from one of our smallest fans!

In Russia, movies review you! This deep dive into Armando Iannucci's "The Death of Stalin" ends up being a closer look Matt and Shahir's respective comedy preferences and tests the limits of their endurance when it comes to real-world horrors. Adapted from the graphic novel by Fabien Nury, this slapstick slice of Russian history has us trawling Wikipedia as we try to figure out fact from fiction.

We're off the leash and out of the cage to discuss the latest whimsical tale of canine angst from director Wes Anderson.
