Time Sensitive

From the Oscar-winning romantic comedy writer, director, and producer James L. Brooks, meet Ella McCay , a film The Guardian called, “...a mess—a clunky collection of incoherent characters and confounding plot that seem to defy basic story logic at every turn.” Perhaps the film is not as good as it gets? You be the judge! Check us out on... Twitter @ TSMoviePod Facebook: Time Sensitive Instagram:...

You are joining us for our annual celebration of cinema history, specifically those movies celebrating a milestone release anniversary in 2026. It’s a birthday of sorts. We call it a “Filmversary,” and this episode is an ode to those films that have stood the test of time 5, 10, 20, 50, and even 100 years after their original release due to box office success, cultural significance, and/or Oscar g...

This week, two gaijin (outsiders) explore the Japanese family-for-hire industry with a review of Rental Family , co-written and directed by Hikari. Check us out on... Twitter @ TSMoviePod Facebook: Time Sensitive Instagram: @ timesensitivepodcast Grab some Merch at TeePublic Big Heads Media 

This week, we explore “Citizen Kane.” Not the Orson Welles classic, but the story of sovereign citizens Jerry and Joe Kane, a father and son who perpetrated unspeakable acts of violence in furtherance of their extremist ideology. SlashFilm even named it “The Most Underrated Movie Of 2025.” It’s Christian Swegal's Sovereign. Check us out on... Twitter @ TSMoviePod Facebook: Time Sensitive Instagram...

This week, we explore a modern paranoid thriller in which Riz Ahmed and Lily James use old-school tech for the hearing impaired to engage in corporate espionage. Look out Big Pharma, it’s David Mackenzie’s Relay . Check us out on... Twitter @ TSMoviePod Facebook: Time Sensitive Instagram: @ timesensitivepodcast Grab some Merch at TeePublic Big Heads Media 

If you’re looking for a bleakly comedic look at modern dating—a situationship with a side of some light BDSM and the cabin-in-the-woods trope, this episode is for you. It is love or lunacy? It’s Sophie Brooks’s Oh, Hi! Check us out on... Twitter @ TSMoviePod Facebook: Time Sensitive Instagram: @ timesensitivepodcast Grab some Merch at TeePublic Big Heads Media 

 “At the end of the Cold War, global powers reached the consensus that the world would be better off with fewer nuclear weapons. That era is now over.” It’s gripping cinema. It also feels like Obama fan fiction, and it ignores the basic tenants of nuclear strategy. It’s Kathryn Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite . Check us out on...

It’s the Golden Globe nominated Time Sensitive. We’ve got a great show for you this week. We are back for Season 8 with what Variety calls, “An ingeniously squirmy and borderline inappropriate ‘bromance.’” We’re talking codependence, grief, and discomfort that can point the way to deeper truths. It’s a Fight Club meetcute. It’s It Takes Two meets Dear Evan Hansen . Is it cruel, or is it kinky? Eit...

We're back baby! Season 8 begins on February 13th Check us out on... Twitter @ TSMoviePod Facebook: Time Sensitive Instagram: @ timesensitivepodcast Grab some Merch at TeePublic Big Heads Media

This is our final film review of Season 7, and we decided to go out with a bang: a bizarre labor of love that provokes as much confusion as it does admiration. A film fifty years in the making, equal parts science fiction, political allegory, and personal manifesto from one of the greatest living directors. It’s proof that some people still haven’t processed 9/11, and quite possibly the only place...

This week, we profile—to borrow the headline from The New York Times —”A sly ode to the last band you’d give the biopic treatment.” Self-proclaimed as “a new experimental biopic-doc hybrid,” it’s designed to glorify Stockton—the Cleveland of California, deliberately alienate potential fans, commemorate the revolutionary act of singing out of tune, and both introduce and simultaneously immortalize...

It’s that time of year again! Throughout the entire month of October, Time Sensitive has been devoted to blood, guts, and the BEST classic and under-the-radar horror films, and this week, we bring the 2025 edition of the Festival to a close with a dark ornithological fairytale. That’s right, this episode is going to the birds. Literally. It’s Tilman Zinger’s Cuckoo . Check us out on... Twitter @ T...

This week’s episode is not a profile of a traditional horror film, per se, but one which utilizes a conventional horror trope in a new way. If you could switch bodies with someone, would you do it? Maybe Greg Jardin’s It’s What’s Inside can make you change your mind? Check us out on...

It’s that time of year again! Throughout the entire month of October, Time Sensitive will be devoted to blood, guts, and the BEST classic and under-the-radar horror films. We won’t be profiling a single film in this episode. We won’t be profiling two films in this episode. We will be profiling and comparing all three films of the 28 Days Later franchise, which span over two decades, and will conti...

“Enduring night. A spectre of death. He spreads his shadow, and he’s coming.” An intertitle from a 1922 film reads: “Nosferatu. Does this word not sound like the deathbird calling your name at midnight? Beware you never say it—for then the pictures of life will fade to shadows, haunting dreams will climb forth from your heart and feed on your blood.” This week, we continue our seventh annual Freak...

It’s that time of year again! Throughout the entire month of October, Time Sensitive will be devoted to blood, guts, and the BEST classic and under-the-radar horror films. This week, we kick off our seventh annual Freaky Film Festival with a ghost story, a whodunnit, a jump-scare freakout, a twisty slow-burn psychothriller, and a revenge saga all wrapped into one taut little horror film. It incorp...

Oh, yeah, eh? It’s-a movie time! From the canals of Venice to the shores of Lake Ontario, Sam and Ian will tell you exactly what you need to know from the 2025 Venice and Toronto International Film Festivals, and how they are shaping the 2026 Oscar race.

Every time Sam and Ian review an under-the-radar movie on this show, we read the distributor’s own stylized plot description—likely drafted by a team of marketing professionals—before providing our own. And oftentimes, the PR language from the studio fails to accurately describe the movie, leading us to believe we watched something totally different. This week, we decided to really play that up in...

This week, we are excited to host our annual Comic Timing episode, where we give the full Time Sensitive treatment to a standout comedy special from the last year.

Today, we’re rewinding the tape to Munich, 1972, on the 53rd anniversary of “the decisive moment that forever changed media coverage and continues to impact live news today.” It’s a story of sport turned spectacle, where broadcasters became first responders and one billion people watched history unfold live. Grab your headsets and roll camera. It’s the day terror went live. It’s Tim Fehlbaum’s 94-...

This week, Nicolas Cage is The Surfer . But don’t let that fool you. He’s still unhinged, bloody, tense, gun-wielding, manic, fabulously bonkers, and gayly attacking locals with tire irons, rats, and assorted signage. He’s a weirdo losing his shit. Shock! It’s Lorcan Finnigan’s The Surfer . Check us out on... Twitter @ TSMoviePod Facebook: Time Sensitive Instagram: @ timesensitivepodcast Grab some...
