Cade and Kit - Movie Reviewers

Cade and Kit headed into a special Calgary Underground Film Festival episode with Buffet Infinity, the surreal horror-comedy feature from director Simon Glassman that has quickly become one of the most talked-about Canadian indie genre films on the festival circuit. In this CUFF special, they sit down with producer Mike Peterson and actor Ahmed Ahmed to break down the bizarre, hilarious, and unexp...

In this Season 4 drama review, Cade and Kit take on Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale , a film Cade comes into with background from the series and Kit watches fresh. They note right away that the movie lands well with both critics and audiences, with a 91% Tomatometer and a 95% Popcornmeter, and they quickly understand why. Even without having seen the full series, Kit finds it surprisingly easy to...

Cade and Kit continue Season 4 of their Top 25 Films of 2025 with Weapons , diving back into horror—Kit’s favorite genre. The film holds strong ratings with a 93% Tomatometer and 85% Popcornmeter, and both hosts immediately agree it lives up to the hype. At just over two hours, the runtime feels justified, with neither feeling like the film dragged or included unnecessary filler. The story follows...

Cade and Kit step outside their Top 25 list for a Season 4 bonus episode after being invited to a premiere screening of Reminders of Him , a Colleen Hoover adaptation shot in Alberta, Canada. Right away, there’s a sense of pride baked into the experience—familiar locations, local crew members in the audience, and a film that clearly had strong regional support. It also continues the trend of Hoove...

Back into the second block of the Top 25 of 2025, Cade and Kit deliberately go hunting for something shorter after getting burned by too many long runtimes in the first round. They land on One of Them Days , a buddy comedy starring Keke Palmer and SZA , and it ends up being one of the easiest watches of the season so far. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 94% critics / 89% audience , which they find a lit...

Episode four of the Top 25 of 2025 lineup brings Cade and Kit into the sci-fi/fantasy category with the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon . Cade sold the category as something Kit would enjoy, but once she realized it was still very much a kids movie with dragons, she felt a little tricked. Still, with strong audience numbers ( 77% critics / 97% audience on Rotten Tomatoes ), it clear...

Season 4 keeps rolling — and this week, Cade and Kit land on a comedy that actually works for them: Freakier Friday (the sequel). They go in expecting “light, silly, family-safe” and end up pleasantly surprised by how consistently funny it is, mostly because the performances commit hard to the body-swap chaos. They pull the Rotten Tomatoes split right away: 73% critics vs 91% audience , which trac...

Episode three of the Top 25 of 2025 lineup brings Cade and Kit to Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, and the big question is: is this actually the final one? (They’re not convinced.) What is clear is that it’s exactly what you think it is—global catastrophe, three days to save the world, AI gone rogue, and Tom Cruise running at full speed toward the apocalypse. This time the threat is arti...

Season four, episode two keeps the promise of what this “Best of 2025” format is supposed to be: a quick reality check between critics, audience buzz, and what it actually feels like to sit down and watch the thing. Cade and Kit come in already knowing Sinners is getting serious love—97% on the Tomatometer and 96% on the popcorn meter—and the early review scroll backs that up. It’s basically unani...

Season four kicks off with Cade and Kit officially shifting into their “Best of 2025” format: five categories, ranked by box office, Rotten Tomatoes, and audience scores, now using the five-star scale to see where their taste lands against the wider review world. They open with a “let’s start strong” pick — One Battle After Another — partly because it’s already getting major awards attention, but...

In this final installment of our Heated Rivalry mini-series, Cade and Kit wrap up season one by reviewing episodes five and six—and unfortunately, the momentum never quite arrives. After hoping the series would finally deliver on its emotional promise, both hosts felt these episodes doubled down on the same unresolved tension, long conversations, and stalled character development that had already...

In part two of their Heated Rivalry mini-series, Cade and Kit dive into episodes three and four—and immediately feel a shift. Episode three stands out as the strongest installment so far, introducing a side character whose storyline feels emotionally grounded, clearly motivated, and far more cohesive than the main arc. The episode centers on a closeted hockey player and his growing relationship wi...

Cade & Kit are back for a quick, rapid “bandwagon review” before Season 4 kicks off, and they’re diving into the buzz around Heated Rivalry with a short three-episode mini-series. This first drop covers Episodes 1 and 2 , watched on Crave , with both of them coming in mostly blind—no book, no reviews, no spoilers—just vibes and first impressions. Episode one moves fast, covering a big stretch...

In this special bridge episode between Season 3 and our upcoming Season 4, we are diving deep into Guillermo del Toro’s highly anticipated Frankenstein . While the classic creature feature is a genre that usually divides us—with Kit loving the monsters and Cade being a tougher buy-in—del Toro’s $120 million reimagining on Netflix left us both floored. We break down the film's unique three-part...

They wrap Season 3 by looking back at Cade’s picks and how those films shaped the overall Stories That Stick experiment. Cade’s list clocked in at just under 20 hours of runtime, noticeably shorter than Kit’s, which already hinted at the difference in how they choose movies. Cade gravitates toward clearer narratives and emotional resolution, while Kit tends to favor films that linger, challenge, o...

As Season 3 of Stories That Stick nears its end, Cade and Kit take time to reflect on Kit’s movie picks and how those films shaped the season, their ongoing debates, and their evolving perspectives as movie critics. This episode looks back on the movies that mattered most to Kit, how they landed with Cade, and what the process revealed about taste, storytelling, and why certain films stay with us...

Kit and Cade close out their “favorite movie” picks before the Season 3 recap, with Cade bringing his all-time comfort pick: Patch Adams, starring Robin Williams. Cade frames it as the ultimate “chicken noodle soup for the soul” movie—funny, emotional, a little scary in places, and anchored by a big-hearted message about caring for people. Kit goes in excited (Robin Williams + feel-good premise),...

In this episode of Season Three: Stories That Stick, Cade and Kit move into the final stretch before their full-season recap by sharing one of Kit’s most personal picks: Life of Pi, her all-time favorite film. With the season focused on the movies that shaped how they see cinema, this episode becomes less about agreement and more about perspective—why certain stories stay with us, and why others d...

Season 3 – Stories That Stick rolls on with our True Stories theme, and this time it’s Cade’s pick: I, Tonya — the wild, stylized retelling of the Tonya Harding / Nancy Kerrigan saga that took over the ‘90s. Cade talks about remembering the real media frenzy as a kid, watching figure skating with his family, and how surreal it is to see that chaos re-framed through this movie’s “based on a true li...

Stories That Stick continues with the start of our True Stories theme, and this week Kit brings Moneyball — the real-life story of Billy Beane and the Oakland A’s as they attempt to rebuild a failing team using analytics instead of tradition. Kit chose this film because it perfectly reflects his own love for logic, metrics, and decision-making rooted in data rather than emotion. The movie follows...

Cade chose The Time Traveler’s Wife , a time-travel film built not on machines, portals, or sci-fi tech, but on a genetic disorder that causes Henry to involuntarily jump through time. The movie ties the mechanics of time travel directly to the emotional core of a love story—one where unpredictability, danger, and absence shape every part of the relationship. Kit and Cade talk through how the film...

In this episode, Cade and Kit continue Season 3 with a brand-new theme: Time Travel. Kit brings The Adjustment Bureau , a sci-fi romance starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt that blends secret organizations, alternate paths, and the tension between fate and free will. The two break down why this movie stands out in the time-travel genre, how it uses space instead of timeline jumps, and why the love...

In this week’s episode, Cade brings one of the most iconic rags-to-riches films of the 2000s: The Pursuit of Happyness —spelled with a “y,” much to the main character’s ongoing frustration. Based on the true story of Chris Gardner, the film follows a single father trying to break into the world of stockbroking through an unpaid internship while everything in his life is falling apart. Cade shares...

Julia Roberts steps into the high heels—and higher stakes—of Erin Brockovich , a single mom with no legal training and every reason to quit, who refuses to. After losing a car-accident case, Erin bullies her way into a filing job at a small law office and stumbles across medical records buried in a real-estate file. That curiosity leads to a quiet California town whose water supply has been poison...

Some survival stories drop you in the wilderness. Others trap you in a trunk. The Call takes a confined space and turns it into a masterclass in pressure and problem-solving. Halle Berry stars as Jordan, a 911 operator whose first big call went horribly wrong—and who’s forced to face her trauma when a second girl is abducted. The clock is ticking, the call is live, and survival depends on two stra...
