Travis is joined by Brew Boss Shawn to commemorate last Saturday's Rapture by talking about their favorite end of the world movies. Travis outlines the myriad varieties of apocalyptic films, while Shawn goes small with his picks for "Midnight Double Feature." Up this week are The Andromeda Strain (1971) and The Miracle Mile (1988) and not everyone was happy with what they saw. Finally, the return of "Spare Parts" where Travis and Shawn tool around with the various remakes of I Am Legend.

Host Travis "the Mouth" is joined by Mark "Two Fingers" as they go on record about Mafia movies. Travis does time and addresses some old wrongs in the Department of Corrections Department, before discussing a new cast for the un-remakeable, genre-defining classic The Godfather (1972). After the break, a ranking of the most profane movies of all time, and picks for Casino (1995). Finally, the Wild Card brings another 1950s classic, and Mark and Travis have irreconcilable differences.

Travis is joined by Brew Boss Shawn to re-imagine some deep cuts from the psychological thriller genre. First up the guys brainstorm actors who could play a devious roommate or a sleazy boyfriend in Single White Female (1992), then an alliteration-heavy slate for "Midnight Double Feature." In the second half they turn their attention to Julia Roberts and the cast of Sleeping with the Enemy (1991) and wonder if modern technology has made the thriller genre a thing of the past. Finally, the return of the Wild Card segment, with a true classic movie and a handsome leading man who is recast with someone much more sinister.

September has arrived and it's time for football at Cinema Chop Shop! Travis and friend of the podcast Brew Boss Shawn find common ground with their picks for "Midnight Double Feature," then debate which cast member from Teen Wolf could best replace _Tom Cruise in _All The Right Moves (1983). After the break, Travis updates us on #2017MovieMarathon, then takes a stab at recasting Friday Night Lights (2004). Then the debut of a new segment "Spare Parts" where a not-so-recent bad remake is taken to task.

Travis and Mark return at the height of their powers to discuss some of their favorite high school movies. The guys take on the task of picking new actors for all five main roles in The Breakfast Club (1985), then comedies rule the day on "Midnight Double Feature" and Travis falls behind on #2017MovieMarathon. After the break, Travis and Mark talk Clueless (1995) before taking on a sentimental classic for the Wild Card.
