This week, Jordan Morris (Jordan Jesse Go!) returns to the pod for a seminal moment for both our boys -- a 2018 that saw Nic Cage rise from the VOD ashes to enter a new era of cult acclaim, and John Travolta take his biggest swing-and-a-miss yet!

First, there's Panos Cosmatos' Mandy, a trippy bit of horror-fantasy psychedelia in which a logger (Cage) exacts revenge on the drug-fueled doomsday hippies who kill his love (Andrea Riseborough). Cue the neon lights, the screaming, and more Cheddar Goblin than you can swing an oversized chainsaw at!

From there, we earn the respect of all five boroughs of New York City -- count 'em on your fingers if you have to -- for Gotti, directed by one of the guys from Entourage and endlessly hagiographic of its subject, noted mob boss John Gotti (Travolta). It's a goofy, misguided waste of an okay Travolta performance, made even worse by the fact that it feels like someone watched GoodFellas high and decided the movie thought mobsters were really awesome (and great dads!).
