Disney-Pixar are at it again with another animated movie to make us emotional wrecks. But does this one fall more on the CARS/NEMO side than the UP/SOUL side? We're discussing all things LUCA this week, plus some Weekly Recommends!
We've talked about 1979's ALIEN. Then James Cameron added an 'S' and changed everything. We've got 35 years of ALIENS to discuss in a special Throwback edition of MAM. Is it better than ALIEN? Could this series be rebooted? And, as always, what the heck is up with James Cameron? Hit the audio and enjoy.
Lin-Manuel is back with another musical for our summer. Can he repeat the success of Hamilton? Where does In The Heights fit in the cultural zeitgeist? Friend of the show Ellen joins us to review In The Heights and reveal which MAM host had the sniffles during their screening.
Your MAM hosts are of the prime age to have enjoyed Steven Speilberg's HOOK in all its original 1991 glory. But how has it held up after 3 decades? And what's the deal with the youths of today not giving a rip about it? We're throwing it back to all things HOOK in our weekly exclusive VIP Throwback!

Disney is back with another remake/reboot/sequel/prequel/whatever you wanna call it. Is "Cruella" a hit or a miss? We've got all 3 hosts bringing their love for 101 Dalmatians and Glenn Close to the table as we review Cruella for our Movie of the Week.
Less than 2 months post Snyder Cut, Zack is back with another one. Will his "return to form" bring us back to the glory days of 300/Watchmen Snyder, or is it more of the same with his current trends? Go grab a helicopter pilot, some Tiger repellant and your favorite WWE Superstar and get ready for an hour+ of Army of the Dead talk.
We've got another "Netflix Original" on the docket this week for our Movie of the Week talk. Does 'Woman in the Window' live up to expectations? And what's going on with Amy Adams? We're discussing it all with all 3 co-hosts!
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
We've got another "Netflix Original" to discuss this week, except this one comes to us via the "left behind in 2020" pile. Surely "The Mitchells vs. The Machines" is a mess if it was released this way, right? Kent and Brian talk all things animation, Lord & Miller and more for this week's Movie of the Week.

'All the President's Men' seems to be the political newsroom drama to top them all. Before the days of Sorkin, Fincher and Law & Order, the 1976 film broke ground on political espionage and journalism films for the foreseeable future. This week, we're throwing it back to '76 to let you know why 'President's Men' is one of the greatest.
