It’s finally here! A brand new Halloween film … and more importantly – a brand new John Carpenter score!

Jacob & Chris call on resident Paul Thomas Anderson expert, Peterson Hill, to dive deep into his latest film, Phantom Thread.

PLUS! Find out what beer pairs exceptionally well with Phantom Thread and how this film is exactly like The Lego Batman Movie.
Jacob and Chris take a journey into the hidden heart of Africa and climb the vibranium mountain to review Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther. Find out if the newest entry in the MCU holds up to the hype and discover what role Chris thinks the superhero film plays in today’s cinematic landscape. *PLUS* we’ve got a delicious beer pairing and some oddly connected Really Rad Recommendations.
