Critics and the rest of the world have gotten too negative. We, like you, just want to find new movies and enjoy meaningful stories. If you struggle to separate the movies you love from the Hollywood machine, or can't enjoy the characters you relate to while ignoring the celebrities trying to ruin it, we are here to help! We really, really like movies. Doesn't matter if they're classics or so-bad-they're-good, from blockbusters to hidden gem indie films - we're all about sharing the variety that…
The ending of a movie may be the most important part, because nothing else can completely redeem a movie you hated, or completely ruin something you really enjoyed. We list our top 10 movie endings ever, plus recap the life of the podcast and say our goodbyes in our last episode. It's been an amazing five and a half years, and we really want to thank you for going on this ride with us. We also…
It is truly a Festivus for the rest of us! We bring a pretty extensive airing of grievances as it pertains to movies. We complain about a wide variety of very serious and very petty issues, and have a great time doing it. No target is off limits, as a highlight movies, writers, celebrities, advertising, and even you, the audience. But we didn't have time to touch on everything, so let us know in…
Well it's finally happened, we kept our long-standing promise to finally split up our top 10 adventure movies which were originally lumped in with top 10 action. It's a very exciting time, especially because we intentionally snub some of the most obvious and cliche picks so we can include our personal favorites that deserve more recognition. Tune in and let us know if we missed your favorite…
To accompany our discussion on historical accuracy, enjoy this full-movie bonus episode where we sit down to watch an entire movie together. Sync the audio with your copy of Tombstone at home, or watch the full movie with us on Spotify. In this commentary we watch one of the westerns we both love the most! When we're not enjoying the movie, we get into all this and more: How much of the history is…
This episode we are FINALLY joined by one of our favorite podcasters and Movie Bonerz Awards presenters - Brian Ruppert from the Reviewing History Podcast. We get deep into some of the most accurate and least accurate movies based on a true story. We also discuss historical movies in general - debating to what extent accuracy matters and how the audience and the subjects in the film can be…
Hopefully you don't have Christmas decorations up yet, because we're extending the spooky season just a little bit. Have you ever wondered, if you remove the jokes, how scary that comedy actually is? Are you still traumatized by that "family-friendly" fantasy movie from your youth? We realized there are many very scary movies outside the horror genre, so we've each compiled our top ten most…
A couple months ago that we spun the wheel of random movies and selected 10 on the show. Well we finally watch them all and have a lot of thoughts. What a random mix of films, some very good, some very, very bad. Check out the highlight at the top of our Instagram profile for which movies we picked and where you can watch them, largely for free. We learned how Gene Kelly broke into Hollywood, we…
We're filling the gap in our delayed Random 10 episode with our second of the commentary format episodes - just in time for spooky season! This movie has come up on the show many times in the past, but it's so rich and deep and brilliant that it made complete sense to break down the whole thing scene by scene. Just in time for Halloween, join us as we watch Hereditary and chat all the way through…
Last episode was a movie no one's seen that very few people like, so this episode we're digging into movies everyone should have seen and almost no one dislikes. This trilogy, and the characters and themes within it, is deeply personal to both of us. In this episode we revisit the context of the time Batman Begins came out 20 years ago, and the myriad of ways comic book movies and cinema in…
I told you I'd make Dustin watch this - and boy did it pay off! I know it's probably a bad podcasting idea to cover a movie no one saw and that the director pulled from all distribution channels... HOWEVER I just saw you can stream MEGALOPOLIS on Apple TV+ right now! So get a free trial and check it out because you will want at least some context for this episode. We dig into all the characters…
