37. Mr. Robot (2015-2019)
Hello friend. Martin Thomas, from Double Toasted, and I talk Mr. Robot. A strange show for strange times. Come down the rabbit hole with us.
34. The Fly (1986)
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.

I've never built a rig specifically to play games, chased down the perfect graphics card, or cared about refresh rates. I don't even play games on a…
30. Swordfish (2001)
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?
29. Independence Day (1996)
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our…
