The Screen Companion

Action flicks can be measured by the speed of bullets, fists, and feet. But how about cars? Spectacular, supersonic car chases on busy metro streets may be unreasonable, but not when they're on a track. Racecars are meant to zoom and increase the adrenaline with every gear shift. Between Le Mans and Rush, we celebrate the cars and the drivers. Guests: Max & Jon. 

To usher in Season Four, the Host waxes commentary on obsolete home media: LaserDisc! Does he have some good points, or is he full of crap? If talking about a dead format isn't appealing, there are also short reviews on Nell and Philadelphia—both '90s dramas and, coincidentally, feature courtroom scenes (though Nell spends very little time before a judge).

A review within a few weeks of a film coming out?! Yup, that's how much the Host loves the Mission: Impossible franchise. In this episode, we do a minor spoiler discussion of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Part One. Hopefully, if you were on the fence, this'll convince you to see it before it leaves theaters. Keep an eye out for a spoiler filled recommendation for when (if) Part Two comes out. Guests: Andrew & Jon.

Possibly the last word on the subject of musicals on TSC, let's make Stacey—an everyman who shrugs at musicals—go through a song and dance number filled aneurysm with Singin' in the Rain and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. One's old. One's new. Which movie did he like more? (The answer may surprise you!) Guests: Andrea, Jon & Stacey.
