First up Jake and Sydney talk Robert Pattinson as Batman, Rome, and Ted Lasso.

Then, it's on to this week's Welles Mann redux. First, is the HBO movie "RKO 281" (1999), about Welles' struggle to get his movie "Citizen Kane" made. Then, they give Orson Welles' masterpiece, "Chimes at Midnight" (1965), the old college try. Finally, to round the Orson Welles experience, Jake watches "The Magnificent Ambersons" (1942), for the first time.

Then, it's time for Michael Mann's stunning directorial debut, "Thief" (1981), featuring a powerhouse performance from James Caan as the titular thief who wants to go straight.
