What Movie Should We Do Next? This week we're tackling the ol' Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix romp: Signs.   Support the show

What Movie Should We Do Next? This week, we rate Verity.  A huge palate cleanser after Primetime.   Support the show

What Movie Should We Do Next? This week was slow at the movies.  So we're doing "They Live" before Primetime kicks off a month of big stuff.  This one's all about class war.  Support the show

What Movie Should We Do Next? Okay, so someone finally made a Resident Evil movie that actually feels like you’re the one mashing buttons and screaming at the TV. We had to talk about it. Ryan Baron North and James Crosslin are here to drunkenly dissect Zack Cregger’s “Resident Evil” with our infallible scorecard: acting, cinematography, score, plot, and, of course, how many times you’d actually w...

What Movie Should We Do Next? Okay, so who knew a medieval poll tax could hit you right in the liver? Uprising did, and honestly, we were not ready. We kicked things off thinking we’d just do a regular old movie review, but then—bam—we’re knee-deep in the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt, talking wages, labor, and what happens when regular folks finally say, 'nah, fuck this.' Andrew Garfield plays...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We watch Everything Everywhere All at Once with a mix of cynicism and hope, then score the acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability until we land on a very fair 3.5. We follow the movie’s “golden path” from traditionalism to nihilism to absurdism, then argue about whether kindness, empathy, and rebellion are the real antidotes to meaninglessness.  • our...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate Coyote Vs. Acme and end up surprised by how well a Looney Tunes movie can hold a real courtroom thriller structure. We dig into what makes the live action animation blend work, then follow the corporate satire into bigger questions about culture, tech, and why the coyote never stops trying.  • our three-part method and why we watch movies “under the influence”...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We argue about Texas Chainsaw Massacre across the 1974 original and the 2022 sequel, then land on a franchise score that feels brutally fair. We dig into why the first film shaped slasher history while also admitting how loud, awkward, and exhausting it can be to actually sit through.  • mix-up over which Texas Chainsaw version got watched  • opening banter on emo sca...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We bounce from childhood nostalgia and drink experiments into a blunt debate about acupuncture, pseudoscience, and how trust in medicine gets manipulated. Then we tear into a dinosaur time-slip movie by scoring acting, cinematography, music, plot logic, and the deeper relationship themes it almost nails. • hoarding nostalgia objects and the fantasy of future value  •...

What Movie Should We Do Next? Luke returns! We come in hot on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, from dumb jokes and drinks to a real argument about whether this is the best Tom Holland Spider-Man or a messy Disney machine. We land on a 3.5 and then dig into the deeper themes of isolation, self-acceptance, surveillance, and what it means to mourn people who are still alive.  • our three-part review method...

What Movie Should We Do Next? A movie can be dumb and still be fun. Psycho Killer on Hulu manages the rare trick of being dumb and exhausting, and we tried, we really tried, to meet it halfway. Ryan Barron North and James Crosslin kick things off with our three part method: we rate the film out of five, we walk the Golden Path to find the deeper message (if it exists), and then we insert ourselves...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey with a hard-number score, then argue about whether the film finds a real point beyond the hype. We end up in a bigger fight about adaptation, missing gods, sidelined women, and why culture war takes make everyone dumber. • opening banter on pressure, fandom, and why the show relaxes us • quick detour into Vampire the Masquerade...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We put Evil Dead Burn to the test with a five-category scoring system, then argue over whether its violence feels like classic Evil Dead chaos or a clumsy attempt at a message. The conversation spirals into Deadite personalities, practical effects vs CGI, and why “send them to the mirror realm” might be the cleanest relationship advice we accidentally give.  3/5 • qui...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We review Sheep Detective with our three-part method, then use a talking-sheep murder mystery to get weirdly personal about memory, grief, and what we choose to carry. The jokes land, the whiskey shows up, and the “golden path” turns a simple family film into a sharp rant about algorithm-fed reality.  • our mind-altering setup with propranolol and bourbon  • quick plo...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate Supergirl across acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability, then land on why the movie feels like a stack of missed chances instead of a character-driven breakout. We also call out how misogyny poisons the conversation while still insisting the writing has to earn its moral message.  • our three-part review method and what we are taking beforehan...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rewatch The Princess Bride as adults and rate it across acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability, then argue our way to a definitive 4.5 out of 5. Along the way we get into what makes the movie feel so alive, why modern media often feels soulless, and how money and AI can crush the point of making art.  • Our three-part method for reviewing a movie w...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We start with a raw riff on public hypocrisy and private repression, then pivot into a full Masters of the Universe review that lands at a definitive 2.5 out of 5. We argue about what camp is supposed to do, why the soundtrack either rules or derails the tone, and how “hope core” hero stories can still matter even when the plot is paper thin.  • Cold open on politics,...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We watch Netflix’s Ladies First and give it our locked-in star ratings before we get honest about what the movie tries to say about feminism. We talk through why the gender swap premise feels shallow, why the lesson comes too easy, and what a smarter version of the story could have been.  • quick intro and why Ladies First is trending on Netflix  • what everyone’s dri...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We review Obsession (2026) while drunk and caffeinated, score it category by category, and admit it left us disturbed long after the credits. We use the movie to talk plainly about consent, the “nice guy” villain, and the damage we cause when we manufacture a reality that erases someone else’s autonomy.  • Quick detour into Celebrity Ghost Stories skepticism  • Our th...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We’re running on fumes, so we caffeinate and pour a drink while we take a hard look at We Bury the Dead. We land on a 3/5, praise the acting and visuals, then dig into the grief metaphor that nearly sticks the landing before the ending sends us into a rant spiral.  • our quick spoiler synopsis and the three-part review format  • Daisy Ridley’s performance and why the...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We get a little drunk, a little high, and put Mortal Kombat 2 on trial with our three-part review system, ending with a final score that’s more forgiving than the plot deserves. We dig into what makes the sequel feel more watchable than the last reboot, then spiral into fandom drama, plot armor, and the only question that matters: what would our fatalities be.  • our...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We rate K-Pop Demon Hunters with our five-point rubric and end up split on what works versus what feels like empty hype. Then we dig into the deeper meaning: consumerism, idol purity culture, and why the fandom energy around this movie makes our skin crawl.  • cold open chaos and why we are missing Luke  • our three-part method: ratings, Golden Path, then inserting ou...

What Movie Should We Do Next? We get drunk and high, rate Whiplash, and argue about why so many people mistake cruelty for genius. We break down how the movie frames abuse as a path to greatness and why the “suffer for your art” mindset still messes up schools, work, and creative life.  • Jackie Chan Adventures nostalgia and voice actor rabbit hole  • Three-part review format and what we’re drinki...
