A film podcast exploring the best and worst under-the-radar movies released in the past 18 months. We focus on those movies that might have fallen through the cracks. Not the major blockbusters or the billion dollar grossers, but the quality cinema swimming just beneath the surface. And when we aren’t reviewing those under-the-radar movies, we find fun topics in the film industry to discuss.

This week, Sam and Ian return to prison, well, the prison drama. We’ve discussed prison films before with a Vault review of 1974’s The Longest Yard and its remake, but this week is a bit harder. The Shawshank Redemption , Escape from Alcatraz , Sing Sing , Chicago , and Dead Man Walking have all shaped our outsider perspective on the inside. But the harsh reality is more than Rita Hayworth…

Why are movie stars earning $20 million upfront while some actors work for union minimums? And why does a movie's box office total tell only a fraction of the story? Check us out on...

Relationships are messy, and this week, we profile a chaotic, modern farce that puts the ‘screw’ into screwball—a movie that finds absurdist comedy in the hypocrisies, jealousies, and self-deceptions of ethical non monogamy complete with plenty of hanging hog. It’s a satire of modern love with old school comedy techniques. It’s Michael Angelo Covino’s Splitsville . Check us out on... Twitter @…

A guy who directed one of the greatest coming-of-age films ever made, one of the greatest romantic comedies ever made, one of the greatest mockumentaries ever made, one of the greatest courtroom dramas ever made, and one of the greatest psychological thrillers ever made. And he never won an Academy…
Live, die, repeat. According to Decider ’s John Serba, “It’s 2054, and human cloning is a thing now. Not a legal thing, mind you, and that’s why icky politicians are doing the offshore-account thing and hauling their human-generating 3D printers into outer space to colonize other planets since—big shocker here—Earth is increasingly uninhabitable.” They say cats have nine lives, but Robert…
