This week’s big money movie is what you get when a political thriller is entirely populated (dogulated?) with dogs in suits. Which adds more to this film genre: Dog heads on people bodies, or cute doggies in even cuter doggy suits? What’s a better actor name dog pun: Kevin Spaniel or Robert Doggy Jr.? These issues and more are still being hotly debated.
We’re all caught up with the posters! This episode saw many ideas blossom before deciding on the final, action-packed cyber adventure. What are some old memes you know? We probably talked about them. Yikes—yes—but oh man did we fixate on only like three things that I’m not even sure qualify as memes.

Another beaut. This movie was conceived as a dark envisioning of a more innocent video game title, to be directed by Nolan. This movie stars some of Nolan’s friends, Leo Dicaprio and Michael Caine.

Wow, it finally happened. We posted the first episode of Big Money three weeks ago, and now the poster is here. I think this captures the essence of Batmen, mainly the part where there’s a bunch of Keanu Reeves and people in batsuits duking it out. And the rawness of sad Batman’s bottomless sorrow that I think Keanu would capture well onscreen.
GHOST PARTY!
