Max & Dave go on a big bald bizarre journey into the world of BUGONIA, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, directed by the always surprising Yorgos Lanthimos. And since its Halloween, Max dives into the data on Horror at the box office this year, how it compares to the last few years, and where he thinks the genre is headed.

Something is Rotten in the state of Tomatoes. Max & Dave have an emergency mini-pod about AFTER THE HUNT, RottenTomatoes.com, and why quantifying a movie into a score can suck.

Max & Dave Talk about BLACK PHONE 2, GOOD FORTUNE, SMASHING MACHINE, BONE LAKE, the fall box office, plus TRON: ARES tanks! What is Tracking? And why going to the Movie Theater is just plain better!

Max & Dave dive deep into ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, give a quick, (mostly) accurate history of Paul Thomas Anderson, ask if Leonardo DiCaprio is overpaid and debate if his latest film should even be considered political. Plus the state of the business, Christopher Nolan, and what makes Max grumpy.
