Recommend or Refute | World of Tomorrow (2015), Boys Go to Jupiter (2024), The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026)

Dixon's back to discuss the Don Hertzfeldt animated short World of Tomorrow (2015), John breaks down the animated feature film Boys Go to Jupiter (2024), and Ryan recounts his experience watching The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) with his family.

The Tragedy of Man (2011)

Join the Afterthoughts crew as we take a trippy, philosophical, animated journey through time from Adam and Eve to space robots and back again.  Marcell Jankovics' ambitious epic twenty-three years in the making tells the story of man's doomed, repeated attempts to attain meaning and immortality in the face of Lucifer's cunning sabotage.  I bet you've never seen anything quite like this.

Recommend and/or Refute | A Shot In The Dark (1964), Constantine (2005), One, Two, Three (1961), and Playtime (1967)

Dixon is still abroad, so in this session Ryan and John attempt to keep things on the rails with a standard Recommend or Refute episode. The only problem is Ryan has a penchant for breaking rules and John is a chronic enabler. Guess we'll see what happens as they each navigate bringing two titles to the table.

This Episode is Not About Shrek!

Look, I know what the episode title says. Dixon's out of town, John and Ryan are off the rails. This is some serious bullshit and we're gonna have to thank you extra for putting up with it, but none of it has anything to do with the pre-9/11 animated film that has been memed into oblivion --so don't even ask! If you really want to know what it's about, I can tell you... lean in close... closer... okay that's close enough. ...This episode is about an hour and a half of nothing related to shrek.

Recommend or Refute | Don't Look Now (1973), Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025), Coyote Ugly (2000) & Miami Vice (1984)

On this episode of Recommend or Refute, Dixon continues with his Italy-on-the-mind movie watching recs, Ryan takes the bullet for all of us and talks about the latest Avatar, and John brings two different mainstream touchstones from bygone eras.
