Straight Dude Date Night

Today the dudes have just watched the newest Wes Anderson film, Asteroid City. This movie spurred a lot of feelings from the two of us that include things like the meaning of life, grief, religion. A bunch of really tough ideas so get ready for a wild review, perhaps just as wild as the movie itself.

Today the dudes took a date to see the newest Pixar movie, Elemental. With it projecting to be a flop despite a 3-day weekend, is the movie worth checking out or is it another iteration of failed movies from Pixar? We're discussing everything about it today and we have a lot to say! Follow us on TikTok: @straightdudedatenight Follow us on Instagram: @straightdudedatenight Follow us on Twitter:...

Today the dudes have done it, they've seen a brand new movie with a metal monkey in it! An easy movie of the year right there! But does it live up to the hype? Does the monkey get any screen time?

Today the dudes have gone into a whole new world. They've gone deep into the multiverse of spiders, the spiderverse so to speak.

Here it is! It's a notorious live action Disney remake! We brought in the little mermaid expert and absorbed the entirety of this new underwater film. Straight up, this is quite a divisive episode. There is so much to talk about here from new songs, scenes that were cut, scenes that should've been cut, was anyone even thinking about who would be good cast choices, different options for all...

Today we present to you another iteration of Certified Banana! This time we review one of Ricky's favorite movies, which just so happened to be another Leonardo DiCaprio film, guess he is pretty good, huh? We explore today the overwhelming unhinged nature of this entire film, the insane stories behind its creations, the alternate universes we envision for ourselves, and how much it would cost...

Today we present to you a new type of episode called the Certified Banana. In these, we pick a movie one of us loves that the other has not seen (or hasn't seen in a while). To start it off, we are going back to a Christopher Nolan classic, Inception. We discuss our pressing theories about the movie, our nitpicky gripes, and how well the movie holds up over time. Join us as we dive into the dr...

The Guardians are back baby, and this time, it's Grootin' time!

It's a lot, but we unpack it all! Join us for our totally professional and relevant concerns and thou...

It's history time so get your textbooks out and get ready to take some notes! Today we discuss the new period drama, Chevalier, starring Kelvin Harrison Jr. Based on a true individual, but with very limited knowledge of the actual circumstances of the man's life, resulted in a somewhat odd take. Today, we'll take you on a deep dive through the French Revolution, what parts of this movi...

Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman, Viola Davis, Chris Tucker, MICHAEL JORDAN! We've reviewed a few movies with star-filled casts that have fallen short or underutilized the amazing talent at their disposal. This week we watched Air, which has a star-filled cast! With an interesting idea at its core, can this movie utilize their talent well? Can this provide a cohesive story even if the vi...

The biggest blockbuster of the Spring is here folks! Starring Awkwafina as not the main character but kind of the main character and Ben Schwartz as not the main villain but kind of the main villain, Renfield is here! And it was such a conflicting film for the boys we had to bring the expert in yet again to weigh in on questions like do any of us actually enjoy Nicolas Cage as an actor and is this...

Guys! He's so cool! You just don't get it... today we saw what is likely the most talked about movie of this past year, Super Mario Bros. As it hits a difficult trend of having a star-studded cast and carries a heavy legacy on its shoulders, is it a movie that does such a historic IP justice? Or does it fail to get the coveted 1-up? Join us as we talk about it all today! Follow us on TikTo...

No one knows what to expect from this one. It's the kind of movie that has some great source material to pull from but everytime it has been attempted, it has fallen flat on its face. Can this one break the mold? Is it actually fun? Is it a good story? Is it worth seeing at all? The dudes take the time to review the brand new Dungeons and Dragons movie (and use this as an excuse to nerd out fo...

It's finally here. We prepped for it, we've made it known we are big fans of this franchise. It's time to assess, is the 4th installment worth it, or is it past it's prime?

3 movies all jammed in to one episode? Now that's a good time! In preparation for next week's episode, we decided to catch Ricky up on a series that truly has redefined the action genre over the past several years, John Wick. We binged all 3 movies to bring Ricky up to speed and enlighten him on what he has been missing out on. We even called in the expert, Colton Wood, to help us with rev...

You'd think a movie about dinosaurs would be an easy success right? Turns out, that's not the case. Today, we review the new sci-fi movie, 65, starring Adam Driver, and brought to you by the writers of "A Quiet Place". A reminder that that movie had no dialogue and that all other movies require dialogue, which 65 seemed to forget to write in. Follow us on TikTok: @straightdudedatenight Follow us o...

It's fighting time, folks. Look, today we aren't really on the same page. We have the same review of Creed 3, but for different reasons. Mainly cause we have not both seen every Rocky/Creed movie, but the different perspectives create quite an interesting dialogue today about this boxing movie. It's time for the main event and we hope you enjoy! Follow us on TikTok: @straightdudedatenight Follow u...

Look, we all complain that Hollywood doesn't put out anything original anymore, right? But sometimes, they release an original idea, but we all collectively think, do we want this? Cocaine Bear is one such phenomenon. Who asked for this movie? Why are we all going to see it? Is this the beginning of a franchise? These are all great questions that we ponder in today's episode! Follow us on TikTok:...

Today's episode may as well be called the State of the Marvel. Do we discuss the cinematography or acting of the film like usual? Not really. Today is about assessing whether the movie was generally good at all, and if it requires a ton of thought to keep your audience engaged, that doesn't seem like a good movie. But maybe this one circumvented that issue! Maybe... Follow us on Instagram: @straig...

Knock, knock. Who's there? The end of the world! Didn't you know? Today, the dude are finally reunited in real-time to enjoy the newest M. Night Shyamalan movie, Knock At The Cabin. We take a closer look at the mind-bending moments of the film, analyze the evolving acting styles of Dave Bautista, and discuss all the terrible movies Ricky has been watching since he has become a father. You won't wa...

Yes, we know, this movie came out a while ago (September I think), but it's still being promoted as a streaming option, so it's still relevant, okay? Your regularly scheduled programming will come back soon, so until then, please enjoy this backlog episode as you are given the explanation for why we are super fans of John Boyega now in the Straight Dude canon. Enjoy! Follow us on Instagram: @strai...

Gonna be honest, things are a little off the rails without Ricky, but you know what? When David runs things, we get to have a self-gratifying episode. Yes, I love Dungeons and Dragons and lo and behold, a Dungeons and Dragons based show just came out. You know I'm gonna talk about it, and my fellow D&D lover is going to join me to dive into this brand new epic adventure! Follow us on Instagram...

Who doesn't love Christian Bale? That's the reason we checked out this movie! Today we review a crime drama based on a novel based on the idea of Edgar Allen Poe, the poet. Does that make sense? I promise it will later. Join us and our local Christian Bale expert for a dive in to this new Netflix movie and assess if the eye really is pale at all. Follow us on Instagram: @straightdudedatenight Foll...

Did you see that cool dance on tiktok? It's like kind of robotic I think, and it's based on this movie? I think that's right... Today we discuss the new "horror" film M3gan, which is turning out to be a surprise success of a January released movie. But why is it performing well? Is it worth the hype? Is it just because of the funny dance? Today, we are gonna figure it out! Follow us on Twitter: @D...

Ladies and gentlemen, this one is wild. Today we discuss the absolute maddening party we experienced for 3 hours that is the new film, Babylon. We examine enthralling music, chaotic scene structures, and the intense acting examples shown by the leading characters. Was this a good movie? There's a lot of debate! But today, we dive into the party! Hope you enjoy!
