This is it, y'all. The last main-feed Horsecast episode.  We reflect on how we got here by starting at our roots: The unholy trinity of Birdemic, Troll 2, and The Room. As a final note, for anyone who may read these descriptions, thank you all so much for some four years of Horsecast. This has been a wonderfully fun project for the both of us, and we really hope y'all enjoyed it as much as we did. Thank you. Sean & Jackson

Every so often, we watch a movie with so many ideas and themes that we find ourselves more than a little lost about what to say. So uhh... Mystery Train. Its interesting!

This week, we're both filling in a major gap in our film knowledge with The Exorcist! But, nearly 50 years later, does it still hold up? yes.  References: Super Eyepatch Wolf - The Bizarre World of Fake Martial Arts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjbSCEhmjJA Super Eyepatch Wolf - The Bizarre Wold of Fake Psychics, Faith Healers, and Mediums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFyCJU3AFSA  

It's abbreviated RotS because it gives us the brain rots. Delia returns as we talk Revenge of the Sith and dig into what exactly is wrong with us and why we all have a different, equally dumb, favorite prequel.

Sometimes we like to come in with hot takes about how movies are better or worse than the critical consensus. This is not one of those times   References: Folding Ideas -  https://youtu.be/gO4o-gYkr7E  https://youtu.be/GMb7-6eg4Zo    

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Yes. and watch the second Jurassic World film (again), which we definitely know the subtitle of.   Also, GET VACCINATED.

This week, we go head to head with the movie that helped define Jackson Keller, all the while Sean whines about how he doesn't like Nolan. It's the Dark Knight Rises, wherever you get your #podcast goods!

This week, we've brought a guest on to discuss their favorite Star Wars movie... Attack of the Clones? That can't be right... Ah well. Join us and guest Delia as we throw away any remaining dignity.

Our quest to destroy our credibility continues as one of us comes in trying their damnedest to defend this not very (but also VERY good) movie. It shouldn't be hard to guess which one of us that is.

We really must stop asking y'all to pick our movies for us. Though, this one may have been on us no matter the choice......   Worthikids: Palpatine's Journey: https://youtu.be/1sFbLppuhhs

We expected to come in with high praise and hot fury, but instead, we came in with high praise and tepid resignation. Guess which one was which.

Shrek 2 sits in a weird place for us. We both had a grand time watching it, but we can't help but be left a bit.... Mixed on the whole experience. We dig into the highs, the lows, the purposes of referential humor and, of course, CATS.

The Star Wars Ep. I defenders have logged in. Well, kind of. Because it's a bad movie. A very bad movie. And yet, we can't stop acting like it's actually great?   Our Blockbuster reference: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/06/24/biggest-summer-blockbuster-each-year-since-1975/39608473/ Red Letter Media: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxKtZmQgxrI Star Wars Detours trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMVrMP8us6Q

To be clear: We don't think E.T. is a bad movie, just that it's been referenced and iterated on so many times, you can probably safely skip the source without missing much more than a traumatizing alien.

Blockbuster Weeks starts, unsurprisingly, with the first blockbuster. But we can't just talk about Jaws, oh no, we have to dissect the entirety of literature first because our brains are definitely normal and good.   Our Blockbuster reference: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/06/24/biggest-summer-blockbuster-each-year-since-1975/39608473/ 

Independence Day: Resurgence is pointless. It's a waste of money and resources. Don't watch it. Don't listen to this episode. Watch these video essays instead. Action Button Reviews DOOM Hazel - Why Did We Like Elfen Lied (NSFW!!!)  

Oh boy does this one get heavy, y'all. What we thought was a skateboarding documentary ends up being so much more - trauma, rust belts, and the cycle of abuse fill this one. So uhh... content warning for the above, for sure.

Nearly 11 years later, how does The Social Network hold up? As a film? Really well! As a condemnation of Zuck and Facebook? Well.....
