I have many, maaaany complaints about KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL, but at least I can sorta occasionally recognize Spielberg in there somewhere. DIAL OF DESTINY has none of the flair or breathless pacing of Spielberg even at his worst. It's pretend fun. It's a pretend movie.

The new #FantasticFour movie feels like they listened to Jason complain about the ethical dilemma from Infinity War. Jason couldn’t fathom that they wouldn’t sacrifice Vision. Fantastic Four presents a much more interesting dilemma.

Jason’s next “Jason’s Choice” will be Predestination (2014)! What are your thoughts on this small sci fi thriller? Jason said it’s “the tightest time travel movie I've ever seen.”

Desert of the Reel Podcast Without a doubt the tightest time travel movie we've seen. It doesn't do too much. Doesn't distract you with glitz and flash to cover plot holes. It's a good story that stands on its own, deftly told by actors that genuinely care about the movie.

Other movie podcasts, do you find more success and positive feedback from sticking to one specific series/franchise/etc at a time, or from covering a different movie/topic every week?

One of us is moving houses! And the other host is someplace sunny playing pickle ball But we’ll try to get the episode up as soon as possible! Predestination (2014) a lot of fun time travel and paradox talk

Predestination (2014) We talk time travel paradoxes and how we, as critical thinkers, must be aware of paradoxes happening around us. We dabble with the trolley problem. Ask questions like, Do people need something to strive for in life? Is it easier to hate than to love?

I started out doing my podcast solo, and having guests has really taken me out of my comfort zone, but it has also led to some great conversations and insights that I would not have come up with on my own. Here's just a sample from the latest episode!

Does Dead Man’s Chest deserve to be in the “best sequel” conversation? It seems like it is a lot of fan’s favorite these days. What do you think? Will Jason like it? Where does it stand in your Pirates rankings?

Desert of the Reel Podcast I like it, and there are giant swaths of it that put 99% of all summer sequels to shame, but the world would be markedly improved if we hadn't exhausted ourselves with PIRATES movies.
