Jeff and Lisa share a love of caper films. Does Ocean's Thirteen live up to their expectations? The Great Train Robbery certainly does; filled with great performances and old fashioned caper techniques. Other great caper films include The Sting and House of Games. Wait! Those are con films. Lisa discusses Dreamgirls, Jennifer Hudson and the amazing Eddie, while Jeff admits to watching the Great Train Robbery multiple times just to hear the great Goldsmith score.

Waitress and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore make Jeff and Lisa hungry for more well written, character driven films about... gasp... women. The men are great too, so don't be afraid! Jeff and Lisa also feel the term chick flick is utterly stupid and is making it more difficult for films like Waitress to get studio backing. Skip all the sequels this summer and catch the sweet treat of Waitress. Dying to see two elderly gentlemen, one who might be Elvis, battle ancient Egyptian evil in Texas? Jeff says check out Bubba Ho-tep.

Two by William Friedkin. Jeff was sure Friedkin was back in 1970's form until the last half-hour of Bug. However, Lisa manages to excite him even further about the gritty originality of Bug which garners her a high-five from her friend. They love The Exorcist, but not Friedkin's temperamental behavior towards the actors and original composer. Is Friedkin's Twilight Zone episode an homage to Lathe Of Heaven? Jeff salivates over release of Larry Sanders show on DVD and talks about the Lost season finale. Lisa is big on Medium and Rush's Snakes and Arrows.
