This episode will be a little light in the notes area\\u2014the first segment has been jettisoned for a longer discussion of Arrival, and the Screeners are doing their best to not tell you anything specific about the movie. The only thing we can reveal here is that Josh has a background in linguistics...and if you think it makes no sense to mention that here, then good; we\\u2019ve done our job. Come back for the spoilers section later; you won\\u2019t be disappointed. Then again, you might be very disappointed. We\\u2019re not in the business of guarantees.

There\\u2019s still a final segment, though:  In a totally unexpected bit of thematic consistency, this episode\\u2019s Top 3 is \\u201cGo in blind\\u201d, or movies where the best experience hinges on the viewer not knowing anything about the plot when they start watching. There are some good ones in here, but by naming them, we\\u2019ve probably ruined them. Oh well; you\\u2019ve probably already seen them anyway.

OK, that about does it. See? Short. As always, join the discussion over on Facebook (especially after listening to the spoilers section\\u2026), and we\\u2019ll see you next time for reviews of Fantastical Beasts and Where to Find Them and Disney\\u2019s Moana.

Ed. note: Assuming Chad left them in the final cut, credit for the parody movie titles goes to Neil. He threatened litigation if I didn\\u2019t give proper attribution.
