Jake recommended The Running Man (2025), so Taylor returned the favor with Big Shark (2023), written, directed by, and starring the “acclaimed” Tommy Wiseau. Fair trade? We discuss both films in this week’s movie recommendation swap.
Plus, Jake shares his thoughts after seeing Primetime in theaters, we talk about season one of Lanterns, and Taylor finally finds a way to enjoy The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

#169 - Terminal USA and Ren Faire
#ResidentEvil #AvengersEndgame #Marvel #RenFaire #TerminalUSA #MoviePodcast #Podcast #HorrorMovies
This week on Up Your Alley...
Jake saw the new Resident Evil, while Taylor went to Avengers: Endgame Encore to find out whether Marvel's "required viewing" claim actually holds up.
This week's recs:
Ren Faire — Lance Oppenheim's documentary series about the succession battle at the Texas Renaissance Festival. A strange, funny, and surprisingly dramatic look at larger-than-life personalities.
Terminal USA — the 1994 indie cult film from Jon Moritsugu that's as chaotic and transgressive now as it was thirty years ago.
