    With nothing but a blueberry Truly and a dream, we hoot and holler over this week's cursed Lane's Frame, Beyond the Sea (2004) directed AND starring [the actor who played Hopper in A Bug's Life]. We get into that actor's career, the terrible decisions made in this movie, and what makes a bad biopic. Plus: can Ricky say "faggot"?

    Rick's Pick this week is The Devil Wears Prada (VERY 2006) directed by David Frankel. We get into this movie's incredible performances, early 2000s beauty standards, and nightmare assistant jobs. Digressions include grey hair, dick inches, and face blindness. Also, there is a reveal about Ricky that is SO nonsensical and incongruous with everything we know about him that it will shake you to your core. That's all.

    Flop! Lane's regretful Frame this week is Animal House (1978) directed by [this tweet may violate rules against hateful conduct.]. We talk about frat culture, gross-out humor, and hooking up in cars with other people nearby. The gain on Ricky's mic is all fucked up in this episode. Who wants to take bets on how quickly he gets to the Todd episodes of Breaking Bad? I give it 10 days.

    Part Lane's Frame, part blatant bait at listener engagement, part thirst watch: it's Civil War (2024) directed by Alex Garland. 🚨 We spoil the movie right away 🚨 in our discussion of its politics, the intensity of the action, and the sometimes-clumsy dialogue. Plus: movie theatre etiquette, eating on mic, and a lotta cat sounds.

    After the Memories of Murder episode, we spent some time building out Ricky's Letterboxd, an exercise that led to an hour of Ricky saying, "I liked it!" with more and more of a babytalk voice each time. This is a jank ass episode with mic issues and minimal editing so you've been warned.
