Earth's Mightiest Critics love movies about the movies, so this week we're looking back on Joe Dante's 1993 cult classic, Matinee!

John Goodman stars as Lawrence Woolsey, a B-movie filmmaker who brings his latest crowd-pleaser (a monster movie about a man crossed with an ant, called "Mant") to a small town theater in Florida--during the Cuban Missile Crisis!

Join us for a Mant-tastic round table review, where we'll talk spoilers, nostalgia, and the lost art of in-theater thrills (which may be making a comeback)! We also answer your questions, comments, and SuperChats!
