What happens when two longtime friends assign each other movies they’ve never (or barely) seen?

Filmmaker Chris Cowden returns to the podcast from Bangkok for a nostalgic laugh-fest revisiting POLICE ACADEMY 2 (1985) followed by a surprisingly rich discussion of obsession, romance, and coincidence in WICKER PARK (2004). Along the way, we unpack how time, memory, and mood shape our relationship with movies — and close things out with a timely look at Ryan Coogler's SINNERS, fresh off its historic 16 Oscar nominations.
