For September 22nd, 2015, Mike, Red and Scott meet in the Nostromo Lounge and discuss the recent news of PACIFIC RIM 2 getting delayed indefinitely, an instantly forgotten (and admirably flawed) summer box office flop called TOMORROWLAND, Red channels the stern word of God and commands everyone to read the graphic novel PREACHER by Garth Ennis &amp; Steve Dillon, Scott drones about the constantly rumoured AKIRA live action remake and what an appropriate course of action the American adaptation might take, we look at the touching 1969 British drama KESfrom Ken Loach, and much, much more before our featured review of Johnny Depp&#39;s latest accent-ridden, prosthetic experiment BLACK MASS from director Scott Cooper.

For January 5th, 2016, Rob, Mike, Red and Scott meet in the Nostromo Lounge and discuss the Valiant Comics title X-O MANOWAR (which sounds totally bananas), the general typecasting of Melissa McCarthy and her latest Paul Feig collaboration SPY, we spend entirely too much time discussing whatever the hell &#34;MathRock&#34; is, Mike and Red check out GUY ON A BUFFALO while majestically chasing bears across the Oregon foothills, and much, much more before our stock market-crashing review of THE BIG SHORT from writer/director Adam McKay.

For January 11th, 2016, Mike, Red and Scott welcome THE INTERVIEW star Diana Bang into our makeshift shelter of branches and pine needles as we discuss the gritty British action film &#39;71 which is basically BLACK HAWK DOWN in Belfast, how depressing life would be as an indestructible superhero like ONE PUNCH MAN, Diana has some potential issues with SICARIO and Emily Blunt&#39;s FBI agent character, we look at the anger inducing Netflix Original crime series MAKING A MURDERER, Red reassures Scott that MEN WITH BROOMS is significantly more enjoyable than he gives it credit for, and much, muchmore before our featured review of the relentlessly beautiful (and extremely sobering) survival picture THE REVENANT from acclaimed writer/director AlejandroG.

For February 1st, 2016, MikeG, Red and Scott meet in the Nostromo Lounge and discuss a somewhat bored looking Mulder &amp; Scully making their return to British Columbia with THE X-FILES Season 10 revival series, William Friedkin&#39;s classic 80&#39;s action cut TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA, the cost of James Caan&#39;s slacks in THIEF, the internet absolutely flips out after learning that Joseph Fiennes has been cast as Michael Jackson in a SKY TV movie, we bust open some of our favourite theories about Rey&#39;s family lineage and the dangers of fan service in the upcoming STAR WARS sequels, and much, much more before we set Birnam Wood aflame with our featured review of MACBETH from director Justin Kurzel.

For February 16, 2016, Mike, Red and Scott meet in the Nostromo Lounge and discuss some theories behind the cryptic gold coins in JOHN WICK and whether or not the film takes place in an alternate universe, we attack, defend, flirt and make pancakes for enemies in the irresistibly charming old school role-playing game UNDERTALE for PC, the debut trailer for JASON BOURNE drops a suckerpunch to the head as a potential Bourne Marathon podcast begins to take shape, the internet rejoices as Elizabeth Banks is cast as the fearsome villain Rita Repulsa in the new POWER RANGERS reboot, Mike hacks his way through a forest of bamboo to catch KUNG FU PANDA 3 hiding deep in the doldrums of January, Scott gets lost in the haunted house up at CRIMSON PEAK and doesn&#39;t come away with much more than a mediocre sink-bash to the face, we get a fleeting glimpse of Krang&#39;s eyeball and sweet looking robot suit in the new TMNT: OUT OF THE SHADOWS Superbowl spot, and much, much more before we all get mixed up with Communist screenwriters in our prestige picture review of HAIL,CAESAR! from writer/directors Joel &amp; Ethan Coen.
