The hosts congratulate Caelan on signing a contract for a new football podcast set to launch around the start of the NFL season, then focus on movies—especially Adam Wingard’s Onslaught—after its review embargo lifts and its Rotten Tomatoes score lands in the mid-70s, clearing Doug Stanhope’s 70% bet. They describe the film as a fun, ultra-violent but comic-book-tempered grindhouse-style ’80s action throwback, with reviews frequently comparing it to John Carpenter and James Cameron, and they debate criticism that its tight ~90-minute runtime is “too short.” They also call out standout work and moments from Adria Arjona, Eric Wareheim, Drew Starkey, and Reginald VelJohnson (with Die Hard references). The discussion branches into Ridley Scott’s shifting comments on Alien: Romulus, a defense of Prometheus, dislike of Covenant, and a quick tour of Scott’s broader filmography including Blade Runner, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, American Gangster, and The Martian.
