Episode Description

Hey Whole Damn Family! (edit) This episode turned our own mother against us...she did not like how we portrayed Vin Diesel, titan of the industry. The turn of the Millennium brought us a fun sci-fi monster movie called Pitch Black (2000) and Vin Diesel, without which we would not have such strong Family values, and we wouldn't have the Fast and the Furious movies either, so thank you, universe, for supplying us with those. We paired this one with Dan Trachtenberg's box office success, Predator Badlands (2025). You may not think it, but these movies are both about family. So give it a listen and call your folks to check in. In Pitch Black, we learn some fun behind-the-scenes bits, and in Predator Badlands, we learn there's lots of digital.
