Episode 463 - Let The Right One In

2026/10/21

This week, we continue with our scary movie month with a more modern classic that might have flown under some people's radars. This film is a vampire movie at its core, but the atmosphere is the real standout. There might not be a better film that depicts a snowy, freezing environment. Let The Right One In (2008), directed by Tomas Alfredson.

Episode 462 - The Evil Dead

2026/10/13

This week, we continue with our scary movie month with a classic we've referenced more times than we can count. Kick starting the careers of Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, and even Joel Coen, this film is scrappy as hell, overly violent, intentially and unintentionally hilarious, and worthy of all the praise its received over the years. The Evil Dead (1981), directed by Sam Raimi.

Episode 461 - Resident Evil

2026/10/06

This week, it's the best month of the year - October! You know that means it's time for scary movies. We are lucky enough to have a good reason to head to the theater with Zach Cregger's new film Resident Evil. Will Zach go three-for-three with his horror run? Spoilers - Yes, yes he will. Resident Evil (2026), directed by Zach Cregger.

Episode 460 - Top 5 Bottom 3, Part 3

2026/09/29

This week, we look back on the last 4 years, which is the period of time since the last Top 5 Bottom 3 episode! Since last time, we've watched movies 50-4 on the imdb top 250, plus 100+ bonus movies. In this episode (Part 3), we discuss bonus categories!

Episode 459 - Top 5 Bottom 3, Part 2

2026/09/22

Episode 458 - Top 5 Bottom 3, Movies 50-4

2026/09/15

Episode 457 - Miller's Crossing

2026/09/02

This week, we continue with our Coen Brothers kick. Their third film moves from the dark noir of Blood Simple and the Looney Tunes style live-action comedy of Raising Arisona to something in between. This film is the first of the Coen's career that melds genres in a way that few others can. Miller's Crossing (1990), directed by the Coen Brothers.

Episode 456 - Raising Arizona

2026/08/26

This week, we continue with our Coen Brothers kick. Their second film moves from the dark noir of Blood Simple to a Looney Tunes style live-action comedy. Some critics originally criticized this films over-the-top nature, but if you can get past the non-realism and complete genre change from the brothers, this is one hilarious ride. Also one of Nic Cages best, most reined in performance. Raising Arizona (1987), directed by the Coen Brothers.

Episode 455 - Spider-Man: Brand New Day

2026/08/18

This week, we're back in the theaters to see what is currently on track to be one of the biggest movies ever made. Breaking the previous opening weekend record, the 4th Tom Holland Spiderman (and 38th MCU film) spends time on practical effects and characters people have grown to love. Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026), directed by the Destin Daniel Cretton.

Episode 454 - Blood Simple

2026/08/13

This week, we are doing the Coen Brothers! We are starting at the very beginning and going through their filmography until we hit the films we've seen. We start with their debut film, which has actor Francis McDormand's first role, as well as Barry Sonnenfeld's first time behind the camera. Blood SImple (1984), directed by the Coen Brothers.

Episode 453 - O Brother, Where Art Thou?

2026/08/04

This week, we keep the Odyssey kick going with a more loose adaptation (if you can even call that). This film holds up, carried by beautiful cinematography, hilarious characters, and of course the sound track. O Brother, Where Art Thou (2000), directed by the Coen Brothers.

Episode 452 - The Odyssey

2026/07/29

This week, we watch what is certain to be the movie of the year, already on its way to a billion dollars at the box office only after a couple weeks. We would be surprised if this film didn't run away with everything at the awards season as well. Go now to see it in the theaters, if you can find tickets. The Odyssey (2026), directed by Christopher Nolan.

Episode 451 - The Sheep Detectives

2026/07/21

This week, we wanted to take a break from all of the serious movies we've been watching recently, and looked to a tale of intelligent sheep. This could be classified as a kids movie, but it might also be for those looking for a light watch. The Sheep Detectives (2025), directed by Kyle Balda.

Episode 450 - The Raid: Redemption

2026/07/14

This week, we dip into our picks for which movies "should be in the Top 250" movies. This movie is non-stop action, and contains some of the most impressive fight choreography we've ever seen. The Raid: Redemption (2011), directed by Gareth Evens.

Episode 449 - #62 - The Dark Knight Rises

2026/07/08

This week, we finish off Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. We found the plot and dialogue to be equally clunky and confusing but without any real standout performances or action sequences. Additionaly, this is some of the worst action editing we've seen. The Dark Knight Rises (2012).
