34. The Fly (1986)
https://youtu.be/k1DfpU95Z-0 Cronenberg, Goldblum, and a baboon named Typhoon star in a horror opera that "penetrates beyond the veil of the flesh." In true Cronenberg fashion, this movie is thought-provoking and gross.

28. The IT Crowd (2006-2013)
https://youtu.be/ra31GMHPerI Standard NERDS! @ChrystalT and I discuss the beloved IT Crowd and how much it means to us. I don't think a day goes by where I don't quote a delightfully, stupid line from Roy, Moss, Jen, Richmond, or Reynholm. I came here to drink milk and record podcasts, and I've just finished my milk.

30. Swordfish (2001)
https://youtu.be/DfTQV2hFlWo Travolta vs. Jackman, Wolverine vs. Barbarino, who will win? Swordfish is a ridiculous movie, but hey, it's fun to watch. I think that describes most Joel Silver-produced movies. We delve deep into the elite, cyberworld of Swordfish and ask, what is the obsession with claymores in this movie?

25. The Lawnmower Man (1992)
https://youtu.be/zXQRaG0tLZc Poor Jobe. All he wants to do is read his comics, mow lawns, and hang out with Robochimp. Why does everyone have to pick on Jobe? @KMSigma.SWI and I still hold fond memories of this early CGI mess.
