On this episode, the boys sit down to speak with writer/director Pavan Moondi (@pavanmoomdi) to discuss his new movie "Middle Life" (@middlelifefilm) starring Peter Dremanis (@peter_dreams) and Leah Fay Goldstein (@leah_fay) of 'July Talk', what it means to make a 'Canadian film', making movies in Los Angeles, the lost art of entertainment for entertainment's sake, and lots LOTS more. The boys really get into the weeds of filmmaking on this one, plus Jonah had the pleasure of working on "Middle Life" with Pavan, so this is a must-listen!

On this episode, the boys play catch-up on the movies they've seen but haven't pod'ed about in the first half of 2026 by playing the "describe this movie in one word game", which is a really complex game where, you guessed it, they describe a movie they've seen using only one word!

Films discussed:

The Drama, Ready or Not: Here I Come, Mother Mary, Lorne, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Peaky Blinders, The Devil Wears Prada 2
