Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 2 (part 1)

We thought it would take a little longer for Sean to get through the second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but we were pleasantly mistaken. So this week we are talking about the first half of season 2, but don’t worry, you’ll get the second part in the next week or two. That should give you plenty of time to go to Hulu and watch them all.

Enjoy!

No One Will Save You & Talk to Me

The weather is getting cooler, which means it is time to start talking about horror movies. We know that horror is good any time of year, but it just seems a little better when it isn’t 90º outside. This we are talking about a pair of movies that now available to stream, No One Will Save You and Talk to Me. We didn’t plan it, but these two movie pair unbelievably well together. For the most part, we really like both of these, so if you want to watch before you listen, please do so, because we will be spoiling them.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 1

For 75% of us, Buffy the Vampire Slayer genre defining television. Sean was the one holdout…until now. Our plan is to record an episode recapping each season as Sean makes his way through, and just get his general thoughts, while also talking about some of our favorite moments and episodes. So in that spirit, this week we are discussing season 1.

Ranking the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Films

This week we are breaking down our collective ranking of all the films in the TMNT universe. The debate was lively, as we discuss which holds more weight, quality or nostalgia. There isn’t a right answer, but the conversation is still a blast to have.

Theater Etiquette (replay)

Sorry about no new episode this week, but instead here is something that we feel is still very important. It seems as though people’s behavior in theaters is getting worse and worse, and so here is our episode from years ago all about “theater etiquette”.

Enjoy!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

The movie industry is a great state of change. Superhero movies are failing left and right, while Barbie and Mario and laughing all the way to the bank. Disney/Pixar movies are being released to tepid reviews, while other studios push animation in exciting directions, first with Across the Spiderverse, and now with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. So sit back as we kind of talk about turtles, while also talking about Oppenheimer again and more Zelda talk.

Director Spotlight: Richard Donner

This is an episode that we recorded awhile back, but are just now releasing on the regular feed, our director spotlight on Richard Donner. Was everything he created gold? Absolutely now, but he helmed some of the most influential pictures for a generation of moviegoers. So this week, sit back for awhile and listen to us talk about the highs and lows of Richard Donner.

Enjoy!

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part I

Let’s keep it simple, this movie is pretty great. If you haven’t seen it, go watch it before it’s out of theaters, then listen to our episode. If you have seen it, go see it again to help bolster its box office numbers, then listen to our episode. If for some reason you don’t want to see it, you can just listen to our episode.

Enjoy!

The Frighteners

This week we are discussing the horror/comedy from 1996, The Frighteners. Though there is enough from that movie to fill an episode, we also talk about a lot of the other movies we’ve been watching lately. And like most things we watch, some of them are good, and some a really really bad.

Enjoy!

The Flash

Ezra Miller is a garbage person. We won’t everyone to know that even if The Flash was a good movie, it would still be kind of awful because of how terrible Miller has been IRL. That said, The Flash didn’t really impress anyone here at COtR, with the range being somewhere between “meh” and “the worst comic book movie ever”. Definitely an entertaining episode.

Enjoy!

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Like most movie nerds, Indiana Jones is a character and franchise that means a lot to us. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny may not live up to some of the originals, but was it enough that we didn’t leave the theater feeling angry?

You know what to do.

Enjoy!

Asteroid City

This week we are discussing the latest film from Wes Anderson, Asteroid City. As is the case with most of Anderson’s films, if you like his style, you will probably like this one, and if you don’t, you won’t. We happen to like what he does, but we know that he isn’t for everyone. That said, please feel free to listen to find out where this particular film compares to his other work.

Enjoy!

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

This week we are talking about the the animated masterpiece, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. There is no reason us to play coy, we all loved this movie, and we spend most of the episode just talking about the parts that we loved. It is every bit as wonderful as we hoped it would be.

Enjoy!

Evil Dead Rise

This week we are talking about the new sequel to a rebooted franchise, Evil Dead Rise. We were all a little let dead by the first one, but we were holding out hope that the new would could surprise us a little. Ther’re a lots of opinions, both high and low, but you’ll just have to listen to see where we came down on the movie as a whole.

Enjoy!

Fast X

Roy was right, the names in this franchise are out of control, and someone really needs to step in a do something. That said, this week we are talking about Fast X, the tenth film in this massive “street racing” franchise (eleventh if you count Hobbs & Shaw). Is it a perfect movie? No. Is it a good movie? …Maybe? We aren’t really sure, but we were happy to spend an hour trying to figure it out.

Enjoy!
