 This week on the show we celebrate David Lynch's birthday by taking a non-random angle on Mulholland Drive and the keys to its mystery. If there is such a key. Probably not. Life doesn't make sense.

Plus, we comb the news to explain why we're excited about Suicide Squad and ARRAY.

Double plus, a bonus mystery segment that will be revealed only to listeners. You'll be given instructions during the show. We hope you have all your canned goods prepared.

You should follow the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more on a daily basis.

The world has lost a few heavyweights recently. Luminaries that gave us part of themselves so that we could learn more about who we were. This week on the show, we'll celebrate the work of David Bowie and Alan Rickman while cursing cancer and wishing it dead.

Plus, to lighten the mood, we'll briefly chat about what it was like for me to watch Garfield 2: A Tail of Two Kitties on repeat for 24 hours. Why did I do it? Is my brain still in tact? Domino marshmallow hop lawn pointillism? All these questions answered and more.

We're back. With a vengeance. Just one vengeance, though. Nothing crazy.

In a new year with a (slightly) new show, we're delivering two episodes per week. Our main show will feature our standard, intelligent irreverence while our second show (which we're calling "Vomit Draft") is a screenwriting question supplement so that we can focus on writing every single week.

To kick this new era off, Geoff and I discuss The Hateful Eight's limitations and the possibility that they all stem from one source. Plus, we challenge each other with film-focused hypothetical questions like: what one movie would you show aliens to illustrate the nature of humanity? and If you could choose a movie to build an expanded universe from, which one would it be?

All of our answers are, of course, correct.
