  • 8 Mile
    May 1 2024

    In a very special episode, the Polarized guys and a returning guest visit the world of underground Detroit rap battles but still have a hard time not talking about how great Michael Shannon is. We question the rhythm of the rhymes, evaluate Eminem as an actor, and have a hard time not thinking of Scary Movie 3.

    Apr 16 2024

    We are taking a trip back to a high school in 2006 that is populated by 30 year olds who are all obsessed with John Tucker. We discuss whether the movie holds up almost 20 years later, rave about the soundtrack reminiscent of our own high school years, and question why murder was never really an option.

  • Road House (1989)
    Mar 28 2024

    We are jumping into a cult classic movie that wasn't polarizing enough to warrant a remake. In our discussion of the House of Roads we delve into the sensuality, fits, and mindset of James Dalton (Patrick Swayze), revel in the size of the explosions, and find a strange comparison to True Detective: Night Country.
