It's our 50th episode! To celebrate, Hollipop and Robi are revisiting one of the greatest films of the 90s, Fair Game, starring Cindy Crawford and William "Billy" Baldwin. Okay, we may have been slinging some sarcasm with that "greatest" bit, but this conversation is definitely top tier TLVcast.

Hollipop and Robi are facing down the John Wick film series, focusing on the latest, John Wick 4. They're joined by returning guest, Willie B, who may or may not think the Wick series is the greatest of all time. We're talking villains, stairs, dogs, stairs, kill counts, and how many car hits is too many car hits? All this and a surprise "proxy" guest for Hollipop, who is not Wick's biggest fan, but does contribute a brilliant explanation as to why she and many others dislike action films. Don't miss it!

This week it's Hollipop's pick, 1982's The Entity, starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver. It's directed by Mr. Iron Eagle himself, Sidney J. Furie.
