Raised By Video

In this week’s Patron-only episode, we review a modern take on the Ray Bradbury classic about the dangers of censorship. Someone should probably censor us once in a while, because our tangents in this one might get us canceled. We come up with a highly offensive new name for Michael B. Jordan, argue about marshmallow toasting techniques, and explain how this movie ties into the Batman extended uni...

Does this legacy sequel live up to the joke-packed Naked Gun movies of the 80s and 90s, or is it a pale imitation? In this week’s free episode, the Doggett brothers discuss the performances, the jokes, and why spoof comedies are so hard to get right. Much like the movie itself, this episode is packed with jokes, tangents, and way too many chilidogs. The Naked Gun is a 2025 action comedy film direc...

A live-action Aladdin remake directed by Guy Ritchie!? Let’s hope it slaps as hard as Will Smith does! As the Doggett brothers delve into this Disney remake, we share what our three wishes would be, compare this movie to the much-beloved original, and make all the lamp-rubbing jokes you could ever want. Plus, we answer the hard-hitting questions you’ve come to expect from us: Does Smith make the G...

Does this fresh take on Superman suck? Does it not suck? Will it turn around D.C.'s thus-far disastrous attempts at crafting a Marvel-esque cinematic universe? The Doggett brothers tackle these questions and more in this episode. We also dissect the film, covering its highs (great effects, fresh story beats), lows (paper-thin logic, some classic comic book contrivances), and everything in between....

In this week’s teaser, we review a zany, fast-paced Indiana Jones ripoff starring Jim from The Office . This film is a direct-to-streaming Apple TV product directed by Guy Ritchie. Yes, you read that right. The Guy Ritchie. Naturally, we see how many references to his other (better) movies we can jam into this episode. Plus, we break out our amazingly accurate and not-at-all-grating British accent...

From “gritty action thriller” to “wait, is this a comedy?” It’s hard not to compare a sequel to its predecessor, but we try our best as we discuss The Accountant 2 in this week’s episode. From Ben Affleck’s confusing character shift and the convoluted plot, to the poor writing and more John Bernthall than some of us can handle, there’s a lot to say about this film. Luckily, the mess gives us plent...

What do you get when you combine the director of Rain Man , the writer of Goodfellas , and Robert De Niro in a dual role as opposing mobsters? You’ll have to listen to this teaser to find out. ;) De Niro vs. De Niro, mobster clichés galore, and a by-the-books mob story. As always, we fill in the gaps with jokes, tangents, and our own terrible mob impressions. This fast-moving episode is chock-full...

Tune into this episode to find out why only GUYS can bust a nut, er, ghost, why our brother Stew fled the country for Germany, why the Devil is banned from the Motherland, how to eat a fartcicle, and why ceramic hands that channel spirits are watery… We didn’t have high expectations for a movie made by YouTubers, but this one was a pleasant surprise. They seem to know what they’re doing with scrip...

What would you get if you asked ChatGPT to write you a script combining Die Hard , White House Down , and Air Force One ? G20 . Wow. Where to start? This movie is a mess. But the messier the movie, the funner the review. And we have a blast tearing apart this made-for-TV Olympus Has Fallen. Viola Davis’s talents are wasted as she plays an ex-military President who gets stuck in a hostage situation...

What looks more like a radiation victim than a wolfman? The “creatures” in the 2025 Wolf Man reboot. This reimagining of the classic Universal Monster is a swing and a miss, according to the only people that matter — us. It’s more of a slow-burn body horror transformation movie than a creature feature. Unfortunately, the plot is sluggish, the characters are threadbare, and there are too many plot...

In this Patron-exclusive episode (thanks, Gary!), we review Jordan Peele’s noir-western alien horror film Nope. As we huddle under an umbrella protecting us from a downpour of blood and metal objects, we discuss everything from performances and special effects to character development and possible plot holes. While not a perfect film by any means, we all come with positive things to say about this...

What happens when David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen reunite for a body horror movie about organ-removal performance art? Unfortunately, not much. As huge fans of A History of Violence and Eastern Promises , we were excited to see Mortensen and Cronenberg together again, but our excitement didn’t last through the slow and muddled mess that is Crimes of the Future . Luckily, we make performance a...

In this teaser clip, we’re down one brother but up a whole lot of laughs as we discuss Heretic. This intimately claustrophobic horror film ramps up the tension in creative ways. Hugh Grant propels the plot by being sinister, hilarious, and somehow still very likable. The two leads also kill it (literally). In between jokes, we ask the big questions: What does the ending mean? What does the butterf...

“Wait, this movie was directed by Mel Gibson?” The un-canceled Hollywood titan who brought us Braveheart and Apocalypto is back with what can generously be described as a movie. Even a bald Mark Wahlberg portraying the unhinged villain doesn’t provide enough entertainment value to save this plane-wreck. The concept — three people on a small plane in conflict with each other — is solid. But the exe...

It’s Kraven time! In this teaser, we delve into Sony’s Spider-Man villain-verse with what is hopefully the last film of its kind — Kraven the Hunter . As big fans of the Spider-Man comic books and 90s TV show, we feel especially capable of tearing this film apart in all its CG-vomit glory. From the strange dialogue and awkward acting, to the silly action sequences and the janky visual effects, the...

Five Oscars, one stripper, and three Doggett brothers with zero self-control (and Daniel). Anora , the 2024 Oscar darling about a stripper who marries an oligarch’s son, is a film like no other. It shifts seamlessly from drama to comedy, features standout performances, and subverts expectations in ways that make for a hilarious and touching storyline. (Plus, we’ve all proposed to a stripper at one...

Set phasers to pants-pissing hilarity. In this week’s teaser, we’re boldly going where this podcast has never gone before — into the Black Mirror. For the first time ever, we’re reviewing episodes, not movies, with a double-feature dive into Black Mirror’s USS Callister and its sequel Into Infinity . Both are love letters (and roast sessions) to Star Trek, and since all four of us grew up on the o...

Take off your shoes, remove your belt, and prepare to be violated by the TSA. In this week’s free episode, we review Carry-On, an airport-based thriller with all those things we like to see in these kinds of movies: tension, twists, and Jason Bateman. This Die Hard clone gets mixed reviews from the Doggett brothers, but we all agree that a crying baby on an airplane is enough to drive anyone to te...

We watched Netflix set fire to $320 million so you don’t have to. The Electric State , a Russo brothers alternate-history sci-fi, is one of the most expensive films ever made. Unfortunately, it has little to show for it aside from a few good performances and some well-crafted CGI. As far as plot, story, and character development goes, we all agree — and so does most of the internet — this is a ste...

This week’s free episode features all the insanity you’ve come to expect from the Doggett brothers. While reviewing a Netflix original near-future sci-fi film set in Britain, we strike an impossible balance between ridiculous tangents and genuine film discussion (or so we hope, anyway). There are Alex Jones impressions, deliberation about what the Brits mean when they say “Takin’ a piss,” and a de...

In this week’s Patron-only teaser, we ask ourselves, “Did Mookie do the right thing?” Spike Lee’s powerful 1989 film has us grappling with big issues and cracking jokes to keep things light — because we’re incapable of being serious for more than five minutes at a time. Not only is this movie an exploration of racism, police brutality, and rebellion, it’s also packed full of amazing actors who del...

It’s Pooh Time! Everyone’s (least) favorite killer bear is back, and this time the body count is rising. In this week’s sh*tshow, the Doggett brothers dissect a movie so ridiculous and baffling that the phrase “What the hell was that about?” comes up multiple times. This sequel improves on its predecessor, but not enough to be taken seriously, even as a tongue-in-cheek slash-fest. From characters...

In this teaser, the Doggett brothers do the impossible. We make the assassination of Civil Rights proponent and Black Panther leader Fred Hampton funny. Okay, maybe not funny exactly, but at least not insanely depressing. How do we do it? By pretending this movie is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, seeing how many Jesse Plemons references we can make, and raging against the machine. All in a...

What happens when a simple but effective low-budget film outsmarts most major studio releases? You get Strange Darling. On this week’s free episode, we take a look at JT Mollner’s 2023 cat-and-mouse thriller (with a twist). Starring Kyle Gallner and featuring first-time cinematographer Giovanni Ribisi (yes, that one), this told-out-of-sequence film provokes equal parts jokes and genuine film discu...

Praise the Lord for this Raised By Video teaser! This week, the Doggett brothers find religion while reviewing Jeymes Samuel’s The Book of Clarence . This unique take on a story that has been told for thousands of years features plenty of highs and a few lows. But one thing that all the brothers can agree on is that the performances in this movie are (mostly) fantastic. We’re nothing if not blasph...
