Look at us, listeners. It’s all for you. To celebrate Briggs’ birthday, as well as the 50th anniversary of the first Omen, but not The First Omen, the boys watched the first 3 movies about good ol Damien Thorn!MOVIES DISCUSSED:THE OMEN (1976)DAMIEN: THE OMEN II (1978)THE FINAL CONFLICT (1981)

It’s time to pay a visit to the MCU’s littlest Florida Man! Antman’s movies are overall pretty funny but also split the difference between being utterly disposable and also bearing the weight of future MCU movies.

Two young men from Minnesota set out with a simple dream, a dream of making mildly surreal genre pastiches with character actors and beautiful cinematography, and I'm talkin' about the Coen Brothers here, and their first 3 movies shot by the iconic Barry Sonnenfeld. Blood Simple (1984)Raising Arizona (1987)Miller's Crossing (1990)

The boys cut loose and dive in to the first three seasons of SMILING FRIENDS, the Bible of Triptych. We also dive into the history of the Newgrounds and Adult Swim animators that made our childhoods so wonderfully weird. EDIT: We made this prior to learning that Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel decided to end the Smiling Friends after season 3. This is a hard day for all of us.
