Who Won the Week?! Round 4
It’s that time again, time to subjectively rate three dissimilar shows (The Leftovers, Better Call Saul, and Fargo) for no damned good reason other than that they all have the misfortune to share the same space/time coordinates. This week was even harder to call than normal, and for Jim it came down to an artful final shot, and for A.Ron the combination of a powerful, repulsive villain and an appealing buddy cop team carried the day. With a week this good, there are no losers, only winners. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Handmaid’s Tale, Dear White People, American Gods
A.Ron and Cecily give their thoughts on what we’ve been watching the past week. Dear White People on Netflix offers an look inside race relations from the perspectives of black students attending an Ivy League college, The Handmaid’s Tale (00:24:12) offers a horrifying look into a culture where women have no rights to their own minds and bodies, while American Gods (00:47:42) is bewilderingly cool and awesome to look at, and probably a lot more, but we’ll have to get back on you on that one.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
We've seen Marvel's latest installment in the never ending onslaught of comic book movies, Gaurdians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and we think it's pretty great. Some debate can be had about whether it's as "good" as the first one, how much of the first's success was due to the surprise delight factor, etc. But at the end of the day it's a really, really good comic book movie, it's fun, it's colorful, it's imaginative, it has the necessary emotional weight to make you connect to the characters and plot, it's impeccably cast with tons of surprise guest spots, and, perhaps most importantly, it's funny as hell. Please enjoy our spoiler-free review of the movie, and discussion of the latest trailers and upcoming movies for free!

The Fate of the Furious (2017)
Jim and A.Ron loved the hell out of The Fate of the Furious, the eight installment in the Fast and Furious franchise. Great characters, great dialog, great action set pieces, fairly plausible and coherent plot (as far as these things go), and some just hilarious, Three Stooges type slapstick action comedy courtesy The Rock and Jason Statham. You either love these movies or have long since outgrown them, but for the people who can tune in to these kinds of demented frequencies, it's top notch entertainment. The best F&F in years, maybe ever. This podcast is an abridged version of the full, spoiler-filled discussion available only to our club members.
