It is that time of year again, a season when we inevitably spend way too much time engaging in discussions about all the movies we loved from the year before. This year, however, we kind of felt like there weren’t as many standout moments or experiences to love, perhaps just a handful of things to like. Even with that sentiment in mind, we still had an absolute blast getting extra long-winded in our conversations and reflections.
Enjoy!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Here is our episode on the new romantic comedy/slasher horror film, Heart Eyes. What can we say, we love “love” here at COtR, and we wanted to celebrate with something that fit the theme.
Enjoy!
This week we are talking about the new comedy/thriller, Companion. Just in case you don’t know what this movie is about, but still want to see it, we will not talk about any of the plot points in this post. But we did largely enjoy this movie, even if we don’t care for all or one of the actors, and their very punchable face.
Enjoy!
This week is a catchup episode. It has been awhile since we talked about things that are newish, so we are just covering as much as we can in an hour or so. Some things we liked, others not as much. As a little treat for you, we largely agreed this time, which is rare. So at least you don’t have to hear us bicker too much.
Enjoy!
It Is good thing we recorded all these episodes when we were the cabin, that way we have stuff to post when we are all trapped in our houses because of the snow. Hey, speaking of being trapped in a house, this week we are discussing the 2021 thriller, See For Me. It really feels like the perfect time of year to watch this kind of movie, and at a cool 93 minutes, you will still have plenty of time to do whatever else you do when the weather is bad.
Enjoy!
Yes, it is that time of year again, where we watch a bunch of Hallmark and Hallmark adjacent Christmas movies, and ramble on about the implausibility each of them. Are they all good? No. Are some of them good? Depends on who you ask. Are some of them really terrible? Well, that also depends on which of us you ask, but yes, some of them are terrible. A don’t worry, we definitely watched Hot Frosty.
Enjoy!
This week is another episode from our trip to the woods, Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. This movie, and the series off which is was based, has a lot of memories for a couple of us, so this episode not only talks about the movie, but what it means to us, and how it shaped much of our humor.
Enjoy!
This week we are talking about the third entry in the Venom franchise, Venom: The Last Dance. Is Venom in this movie? Yes. Is there Dancing in the movie? Also yes. Is this the last one of these we will have to watch? For the love of god, we certainly hope so. So sit back and relax as we talk about why this movie is not very good.
Enjoy!
Here is another episode from our cabin trip. This week we are discussing one of Ryan’s favorite entries in what he believe is one of the stronger horror franchises, Child’s Play 2. And in case you’re wondering, this movie was infinitely better than White Chicks.
Enjoy!
Another movie from this year’s Cabin Chronicles. This time we are watching VHYes. It is hard to describe what this movie is, maybe a little bit Kentucky Fried Movie, but maybe also a little horror. Maybe it’s not very good, but maybe it is actually okay. It is hard to put your finger on this one, so maybe it is worth watching, just so you can see, but maybe it’s not.
Enjoy!
This year we kicked off our cabin trip with the oft talked about, but never seen movie, White Chicks. It was exactly as bad as we feared it would be, but a deal is a deal, and since someone left us money on the nightstand, we were obligated to watch this comedy? Horror? Science Fiction? It is really hard to tell what kind of genre this fits into, since it is every bit as disturbing and upsetting as say a Requiem for a Dream, and it shares a same star. Neat.
Enjoy!
This week we are talking about two film that help close out the summer of 24, Trap and Alien: Romulus. Many people will say that the best days of M. Night Shyamalan and the Aliens franchise are long in the past, but maybe, just maybe, these two movies can prove those people wrong. Or maybe they are both trash, and we should just live in the past, at least as far as movies go.
Enjoy!
This week we are talking about a movies that seemed like had been in development for the last 25 years, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Tim Burton has been a very divisive director on this podcast in the past, but maybe this return to a class idea would inspire greatness in the once unique director. Or maybe we hated it. Or maybe it was fine. So many ways this could go.
Enjoy!
It is our 420th episode, so instead of talking about movies, here is a whole episode where we try twenty varieties of Reese’s candies. There are some real surprises here. We all knew that certain ones would do well, but our top choices are not unanimous. Plus, there are some real trash candies out there, so we did that research so you don’t have to.
Enjoy!
Look…this movie is insanely popular, and will end up making more money than most of the movies in the MCU. That said, we have some differing opinions on Deadpool & Wolverine. We all went into this movie with varying degrees of excitement, and there were most certainly some concerns with how delicately they would address Logan, but we at least all agree it was better than Deadpool 2. So that’s something.
Enjoy!
Full disclosure, the Beverly Hills Cop franchise does not carry the same weight that many of the other franchises do from this era of film, so when Netflix announced that they were making a fourth installment after a 30 year break, we were not exactly over the moon. We went into Axel F with pretty modest expectations, so we thought surely that could at least meet them. Netflix doesn’t have a great track record in the past, but could this be the one to finally feel like an actual movie, instead of a straight to streaming release? We reveal our feelings pretty quickly this week, so just give it a listen.
Enjoy!
This week we are talking about Neon Studio’s new hit horror film, Longlegs. In general, horror fans seem to love this movie, but does that me that we did? I think you know, we rarely all agree with each other, and this movie is no different. So if you liked Longlegs, then you will agree with something we say, and if it wasn’t for you, we still have you covered. We aim to please at COTR.
Enjoy!
Ti West was always going to have a tough time living up to the hype after giving us two of the best horror films in recent memory with X and Pearl. Maxxxine looked like it had the chance to exceed all expectations, but could it stick the landing, or did Ti West do what Ti West does, and focus on style over substance? Obviously we will give you our take, but that doesn’t mean it’s correct.
Enjoy!
This week we are talking about the thoroughly mediocre horror film, The Watchers. We didn’t want you to go into this one not knowing if we liked it or not. While there are some okay parts, there are not enough to justify this being a feature length horror film. Just know going into this episode that we are going to be making fun of a lot of it.
Enjoy!
This week we are talking about the low budget, deconstructed, slasher flick, In a Violent Nature. Our opinions are not perfectly aligned, but we can all agree on one thing…this movie has one of the most creative kills on 2024. So if you like horror, you should check it out, but if you want to stare, mouth agape, at one of the most excessively violent scenes of late, then you should also check out this movie. Either way, you should listen to our episode.
Enjoy!
