Ryan's not with us for this episode (he's still alive as far as we know), so John and Dixon are doing our first ever Recommend AND Refute episode, in which they both bring one movie to recommend and one to refute. Can you guess which is which? Dixon discusses Emerald Fennell's new romance Wuthering Heights (2026) and Michael Winterbottom's hangout comedy The Trip to Italy (2014) while John dissects the conflicted VH1 biopic Man in the Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story (2004) and Baz Luhrmann's EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2026).
