215 - A little extra AI episode because, why not? This film is very squarely ABOUT AI, while at the same time, not being interested in AI at all. But hey, it's got loads of other stuff. Also, Greg's mic wasn't working properly so some slightly poorer audio quality than usual in parts. Ironically, we turned to AI to fix it, with mixed results.

Cop Land (James Mangold, 1997)
162 - We LOVE a vulnerable Stallone, and this might the great man at his most vulnerable - does that make it his best performance? But thats not all, we have a dishevelled Liotta and a moustachioed De Niro. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. Harvey Keitel, Robert Patrick, Cathy Moriarty, Anna Sciorra, Janeane Garofalo, Michael Rapport, Edie Falco, Frank Vincent, Debbie Harry... the list goes on. The cast is STACKED, but does that make it good? Well it certainly doesn't hurt.

You can find more Jerah on his podcast Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood]See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Uncle Buck (John Hughes, 1989)
128 - Yes, we may have under-indexed on John Candy films to-date. But we are rectifying this as of now with 1989's Uncle Buck.
