Happy Star Wars Day! To celebrate, we took a break from movie talk, and instead, we dedicated an entire episode to Star Wars: The Clone Wars. We also thought we bring in someone who could speak on this series with a little more authority, Dan Kaufman! That’s kind of a big deal, so please show your gratitude by telling all your friends about the show…maybe your friend’s friends…maybe tell them all to sign up for our Patreon. Just an idea.
Enjoy!
Whatever your opinion may be of Michael Bay, he is at least very consistent in the types of movies he makes. Maybe his movies are not really your thing, which is perfectly fine, but when it comes to movies where shit blows up, he is an auteur. So please enjoy a couple of us talking about Bay’s 2 hour+ car chase extravaganza, Ambulance.
Enjoy!
In the past, we have not really enjoyed the movie of Ti West, but with X we were cautiously optimistic. West has always had a great visual style, and can make movies feel like they are from other decades without needing to remind you all the time that it is a period piece. However, his previous outings have left us a little empty. In classic COtR form, we did not all agree about how X turned out.
Enjoy!
Let’s just go ahead and remove any mystery here, we absolutely loved this movie. Everything Everywhere All at Once has been stuck with us since the moment we walked out of the theater, and we are just counting the seconds until we can see it again. If you haven’t seen it yet, please try and do so before you listen to our episode. If you are also someone who believes that movie theaters are nothing more than vessels for comic book movies to be released, please please please go support something that is original and wonderful.
Enjoy!
While our opinions of The Adam Project might vary, we did all unite in our opposition to some of the worst de-aging effects ever. We talk about this a lot, but seriously, it is really terrible looking, and I know that we skipped right over some major plot points just so we could continue to bad mouth this one thing, but that’s just how terrible it was. Anyway, here’s our episode.
Enjoy!
This week is our recap episode of this year’s Academy Awards. Right out of the gate we discuss the infamous moment that has already become Oscar history, and overly memed. After that quick discussion, we actually talk about the goods and bads of the night. Believe it or not, lots of other things did happen and we want to tell you the real reasons the oscars were bad, not just relive that slap over and over. Like seriously, who thought it was a good idea to create fan voted categories? It’s the Oscars, not the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards.
Enjoy!
The “World’s Greatest Detective” is at it again in Matt Reeves latest interpretation of the cowled crusader, The Batman. This movie has already proven to be one of the more successful films in the DC catalog, and it already finds itself on the IMDB Top 250 list, which is no small task. That being said, we managed to disagree about much of this ultra dark film, but don’t worry, it’s all in good fun.
Enjoy!
Sometimes a movie comes along that does something so jaw dropingly stupid that all you can do is keep talking about it even though you hate it. The King’s Man has such a moment in one of the weirdest post credit scenes I can remember. The MCU doesn’t have anything on this series now. We also talk about the rest of this movie, though as you can imagine, we don’t agree about the quality.
Enjoy!
Every week Roy asks people for suggestions, and we finally decided to watch one. We thought it would be a fun movie night to view The Villain together, after all, none of us knew anything about the story, or even what genre is belonged to. We were still confused as we were watching, and found ourselves asking “WHY?!” on more than on occasion.
Now if you want to make us watch your crazy choices, you have to sign up for our Patreon, but never again will we watch The Villain.
Enjoy!
This week we do a quick catch up on a couple of recent films to hit theaters. Both movies are dumb, but “dumb” is a pretty wide spectrum, and these two movies really show how different dumb movies can be. There is usually some petty disagreements on the show, it is kind of part of our charm, but this go round we were pretty much on the same page. It is very unusual and probably won’t happen again.
Enjoy!
Marvel managed to release 4 movies and 5 television shows in 2021, and while were have done shows on a couple of the titles they released, we’ve decided to go ahead and dedicate a whole episode recapping just what all was added to the MCU last year. Yes, there were something things that we loved and some that we didn’t, but even the worst thing they made last year is still better than a lot of what’s out there.
So sit back as we wade out into very familiar waters, as we once again talk Marvel.
Enjoy!
Roy is keeping his annual tradition alive, using Super Bowl Sunday as an opportunity to watch as many the years Oscar nominated films as he can. It is always fun hearing his recap and which of the films “won the day”. And it a rare twist, Roy and his wife disagree on the winner! Now you’ll have to listen to see who chose what!
(It was Kira…sorry Roy)
Enjoy!
We are always a little late to the game when it comes to our “best of” list, but there are a lot of movies we have to wait for in order to properly form our opinions. We try every year to make the show a little more streamlined, keep our opinions a little more concise, try and keep the train on the tracks, and yet here we are, clocking in at just under 3 hours. Why do we even try?
We would love to know what movies topped your lists, and why we shouldn’t have included some of our choices, so please reach out and tell us!
Enjoy!
Pants…that kill people.
I don’t think I need to say much more about this one, but this movie is somehow much more than that premise, and definitely worth a watch.
Enjoy!
This is the last episode from our cabin weekend and we are finishing up the “Cabin Chronicles” with arguably the biggest hit of the weekend, Psycho Goreman. To say that those of us who hadn’t seen it were surprised would be an understatement. We strongly encourage anyone with any interest this film to watch it first, because I am not sure that our outbursts about random parts of this film will properly convey how much fun we had watching it.
Enjoy!
Another weird horror movie can only mean one thing, another episode from our cabin trip. This was actually the last movie we watched that weekend, which is why you may notice that we don’t all make it to the table. The excitement of the weekend made some of us fall asleep almost immediately after we started this gem from the 90’s. We also discover that most movies could be improved by simply adding a little more Billy Zane to the cast. It’s not that difficult.
Enjoy!
Killer robots, frisky 20somethings, …the mall. The 80’s really were a magical time to be alive. This absolute treasure was a blast to watch during our cabin weekend, and if this podcast can convince at least one person to watch it who may have never seen it, than all of this will have really been for something.
KILLER ROBOTS…IN THE MALL!
Enjoy!
Here is another episode from our cabin trip, Ryan’s selection, Cheap Thrills. Most of us had never even heard of this one, and that made the viewing experience all the better. This dark, dark, DARK comedy is not for the faint of heart, but we still had a lot of fun watching…most of it.
Enjoy!
Spider-Man: No Way Home is the biggest movie in years, and the first time that going to the theater felt like it did before the pandemic. It is being universally praised by critics and viewers alike, and hey, we loved it too. This week we are spending more than 90 minutes talking about the same movie that everyone else is talking about, but we don’t care, there’s just that much to unpack. So if you don’t mind a spoiler heavy episode, give us a listen.
Enjoy!
Since Christmas is almost here, we decided to record on two of the more enjoyable entires into the “Christmas movie” genre. The stories may be ones that you know already, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have anything to bring to the table, and Love Hard and 8-Bit Christmas could easily be ones that get added to the annual rotation.
Be safe this holiday season, and we look forward to recording more in 2022…as long as the world is still around.
Enjoy!
