We remember amazing performances by Tom Cruise, Tom Skerritt, Tim Robbins, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards, Kelly McGillis, and Michael Ironside. We remember Kenny Loggins and Berlin propelling the soundtrack to 9 million copies sold. But many people forget this movie had flaws the size of a Tomcat. Find out if it stands the test of time, and learn way too much about our sex lives in the process.

Game of Thrones' Season 7 premiere united our favorite characters and brought some lesser-knowns to the spotlight. We got one last chance to hate Walder Frey, one fresh chance to cringe at Ed Sheeran, and we learned to cheer for Euron Greyjoy (and his two good hands). Listen to this quick-take Instacast and prepare for Tuesday Game of Thrones Deep Dive. Also, holy crap, white walker giants.

The "Taboo" finale was mostly well received by the twitter audience, however, it also triggered strong feelings from citizens of Shat Nation: anger over Zilpha's death, frustration over plot holes, curiosity about James Delaney's mental state, and hope for a "Taboo" season 2 and beyond. Roger, Gene & Big D attempt to answer:  Why did the kill off the most interesting character (Zilpha)? Did the character of James Delaney ever truly learn anything? Was this show ever truly about mysticism? Will the League of the Damned traverse across America "Oregon Trail-Style" in Season 2? The final River Rants of the Taboo FX season is here! Plus, it's a bonus edition with 13 action-and-expletive-packed letters to savor. So strap on your life jacket & hop aboard the Shat Sailboat as we take one final trip down the river and off to sea.

The only way our Taboo listener mail would be better is if Coop delivered them to our doorstep, himself! In this week's edition of 'River Rants' the fans look back on Episode 5 and ask such questions as: - Who was that long haired individual outside Delaneys window? - Is Sir Stuart Strange a serial pederast? - Will Thorne turn out to be an ally of James? - What would a montage of Tom Hardy grunting look like? Big D & Rog also tackle topics like Chekov's Gunpowder, story similarities to Flashman, and how far up the incest hierarchy you can go before it gets too weird.  So climb aboard, sit down, and hold on tight as we "head on down the river".
