Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny came and flopped. Gabe hated it, John didn't - so we thought we needed to talk about it even if we were very late to the non-party. The comparisons with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull are to be expected, so we thought we would go into those. Clearly, we both belong in a museum.

Continuing with our trend to review movies a few months after they opened, now we'll be talking about Pixar's Elemental (2023). Resisting the urge to criticize a children's film.

Gabe pushed John to watch more John Carpenter. Today: They Live (1988). Let's talk about it!

In 2009, Megan Fox was one of the biggest stars in the world after starring in Transformers (2007) and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009). Amanda Seyfried was also at the top of her game after starring in Mamma Mia! (2008). And, yet, Jennifer's Body flopped in 2009, but has since become a cult classic. Let's talk about it!

Let's talk about The Flash like 3 months after everyone else (John only watched it this weekend). We haven't reviewed a new movie in a while, it seems. Is there superhero fatigue? If they keep making movies like this one, there definitely will be. Oh, and Batman and Supergirl and a whole of bunch of cameos are in it, too. Also deepfakes.

Today, we're talking about George Clooney's The Ides of March, a fantastic political thriller from 2011. The cast, led by Ryan Gosling, is amazing!

We wanted to review something different this week, so Gabe made John watch that weird Power Rangers reunion. Why did we like this as kids?

Hard to believe that Denzel Washington and Tony Scott's "Man on Fire" came out 19 years ago. It was (justifiably) trending on Twitter a couple of weeks ago, so we decided to revisit it.

We're doing a Van Damme double feature today! "Street Fighter" came out in 1994 and, well, it wasn't good. But is it as bad as they say?

Let's review Jean Claude Van Damme's 1988 classic, "Bloodsport". Did it inspire Mortal Kombat? Does it feature Van Damme's best splits? Is Forest Whitaker in it? Let's talk about it.

Well, for some reason, none of us had ever seen Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon". Let's talk about it.

Roland Emmerich directs James Spader and Kurt Russell in this cheesy, incredibly fun sci-fi adventure that just seems like the kind of movie we love to see.
