In the second part of Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure’s final film discussion, sadness, cruelty, selflessness, and love are pondered. Both a fond farewell to podcasting and an embarrassing supercut occur.

In the first part of Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure’s final film discussion, Ben reminisces with Alexis about Terry Gilliam, gun violence, homelessness, and mental health crises while Robin Williams sees nude cherubs. 

In the penultimate episode of Hyper Strong Miracle Treasure, Alexis teaches Ben about patriotism, advertising, misery, and romance to the tune of Robin Williams playing the saxophone. 

Ben invites Alexis to experience a spiritual awakening. It’s unclear how much of Ben’s reaction is a manic episode, religious epiphany, or Zen clarity. In any case, Steve Buscemi wore a lady’s head as a hat.

Alexis needs Ben to know that LL Cool J’s hat is like a shark’s fin. If this deeply idiotic movie must be watched to get that point across, then so be it. Evil scientists, demon fish, and Sam Jackson abound.

When Alexis and Ben are too lazy to make up a themed battle, they fall back on telling stories and talking about TV. Real-life Blade vampires and the state of Disney intellectual property are considered.

Ben introduces Alexis to the director Alan Smithee in a movie that was edited by a production company more obsessed with cutting than a pack of cenobites. Space demons and Adam Scott are also present. 

Alexis circles around the sun while Ben stares in horror at a mutilated space-time-continuum. Before they’re done they’ll experience all the whales, punks & nuclear wessels that the 1980s have to offer. 

Ben tries to sell Alexis on some elevated-grim-dark hilarity that’s half a reboot of Se7en and half QAnon cautionary tale. Having all his wildest pop-cultural dreams fulfilled leaves Alexis nonplussed. 

Alexis helps Ben rediscover his love of comic book campiness. 90s college music will be appreciated, grown-ass men will be adopted, and a pair over-the-top supervillains will go Zuckerberg.

Ben’s movie is the heckin’ best. Yeah, yeah, yeah! Alexis is less than convinced so he can frig off. Walken contests, a few rounds of Real Name/Fake Name, and silly suit ultra-violence abound.

Alexis advises all monkeyboys to laugh while they can. Can Ben possibly learn to appreciate a character actor extravaganza about a rock-n-roll-brain-surgeon-cowboy-rocket-scientist? Possibly!

Ben conducts a misguided experiment on Alexis that fails spectacularly. Turns out that it’s a bad idea to skip the first 19 episodes of a bewildering television show! Eventually, they give up and discuss Prey instead. 

Alexis has Ben perform intergalactic espionage when a planet full of deeply unpleasant aliens gets invaded by space utopians. WARNING! This is the TV episode First Contact, not the movie of the same name.

Ben tries in vain to prove to Alexis that verbal twists and turns can be just as entertaining as CGI stunts. He fails. Then Ben writes a self-referential meta-summary of his failure as a metaphor for this movie.

Alexis is enraged by Ben’s stubborn refusal to admit that this CGI extravaganza is the greatest film of all time. The Wachowski belief that corporate interference is a blight on all forms of art is psychoanalyzed thoroughly 

Ben has Alexis observe director Mike Flanagan’s audacious use of an X-Men story arc to reconcile modern horror’s most popular author with the genius filmmaker who defiled/perfected The Shining. 

Alexis introduces Ben to an adaptation of a scifi novel that would have been an awesome Star Trek prequel. Except that it had the sheer, unmitigated gall to be a sequel Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey instead. 

Ben tortures Alexis (and himself) with an uninspired patchwork of inexplicably diabolical electronics, the trendiest murder bar on the lower east side, and employment-themed cenobites galore. 

Alexis harasses Ben with Leonard Nimoy’s directorial debut! A film featuring a Klingon muppet dog, a stylish half-cape, and the most fascinating nightlife hotspot ever to appear in the Star Trek universe. 

Oh god! Oh Man! Ben holds an ill-advised séance to summon the ghosts of Kiley Oram and Norman Mailer. They’ll subject Alexis to double flashbacks, toxic masculinity, and Dave Foley’s drag twin!

Alexis subjects Ben and special guest Kiley Oram to a misbegotten trove of shattered dreams used primarily to preserve intellectual property rights! Watch along with us and experience the magic of Mr. Film for yourself!

Alexis and Ben celebrate the end of their first podcasting season the only way they know how! Via navel gazing, criticizing each others lifestyle, and laughing at their own jokes. Like friends do!

Ben bores Alexis with a D&D session masquerading as movie. British actors will be identified, lackluster wizards will be appreciated, and we will ride a fire mare to a demon castle to use a switchblade starfish. 

Alexis helps Ben recall where the MCU began: In Cleveland, Ohio with an anthropomorphic duck. Competition for most realistic Cleveland moment is fierce and mallard sexuality scars us permanently.
