This week we finally review the Academy Award winner for Best Picture in 2019. As the most unusual 2020 Oscars are now approaching we wanted to review the most recent winner, which was directed by Bong Joon-ho. This dark comedy, became a world-wide phenomenon and it is likely due to the themes explored. Few films have so perfectly illustrated the ever-widening wealth gap in capitalist countries. T...

The 2018 sequel to Jurassic World takes a wild left turn as it recast's Bryce Dallas Howard's Claire Dearing as a Dinosaur Activist who is trying to rescue the Dinosaurs on Isla Nublar from an erupting volcano that threatens to destroy the island. She is doing this with the help of Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), and the original partner of John Hammond. Directed by J.A. Bayona who's best known for 2007...

Sorry for the late upload for this episode. Our shit was on pause. This week in the spirit of the New Year we review the remake of the 1976 John Carpenter classic that revolves around a police sergeant who's job it has now become to protect a skeleton staff and rag tag group of inmates as they try to survive an attack by a police splinter group on New Years Eve at a Detroit police station. 

Part 2 of our Christmas Double Feature has us reviewing a film written by friend of the show Chris Columbus (lol) and Directed by Joe Dante. This is the wicked Christmas tale about a swarm of little green monsters who wreak havoc on the small town of Kingston Falls. This is also the film that became responsible for the PG-13 rating. Thank you and Happy Holidays to all our listeners.

Our friend Joey S who is a resident Home Alone fan, and Christmas movie lover joins us for Part 1 of our Double Feature where we review the 1990 John Hughes written film, starring Macaulay Culkin, and Directed by Chris Columbus. 

This week we’re watching the Ben Stiller directed dark comedy starring Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick. While not nearly as popular as the rest of Jim Carrey’s 90s output, this movie has become a cult item in recent years and we look forward to diving in.

Ready to watch Ice Cube as James Bond, being directed by Nick Fury, fighting the Green Goblin, and driving cars from the Fast and Furious Franchise in a film directed by the guy who did "Die Another Day"? Darius Stone (Ice Cube) is an ex-Navy Seal who is serving a 20 year prison term. He is busted out of prison with the help of xXx program director Agustus Gibbens (Sam Jackson) who recruits him to...

We wanted to do something different for Halloween this year. This episode came out of a loose discussion with a friend and listener of the show about Friday The 13th Part VII: Jason Takes Manhattan. It evolved into a discussion about how 1989 was the year that Friday The 13th 8, Nightmare on Elm St. 5, and Halloween 5 which were all released in the same year were the awful sequels in each franchis...

BONUS EPISODE for October! What do Angel and an infamous serial killer have in common? They are both fans of The Exorcist III. This supernatural police procedural is a direct follow up to 1973's The Exorcist and actually ignores Exorcist II: The Heretic. We pick up 15 years later and follow Lt. Kinderman from the original film as he tries to solve the case of the Gemini Killer, a fictional Zodiac-...

This week we review a listener request. The 2020 direct to Netflix film that follows a young man who is a video game streamer experiencing the Zombie apocalypse in Korea while being required to self-isolate until he is potentially rescued. 

We return to the MCU to both prove Angel doesn't hate the MCU and to revisit 2014's Captain America sequel. This movie was part of a wave of post Avengers (2012) sequels and may be the best of them. a modern movie that is also a throwback to 70s espionage films, we movie follow Captain America uncovering a splinter group within S.H.I.E.L.D. with the help of Black Widow and Falcon. Join us for this...

This 5th film in the Paranormal Activity franchise went in the most interesting direction an established horror franchise has ever gone to. We ditch the suburbs for a Chicano neighborhood in Oxnard, CA where Jesse Arista and his best friend Hector Estrella use the GoPro camera Jesse got for his High School graduation to chronicle Jesse's possession by a familiar demonic presence.

This week we take a first dive into Italian horror with this 1985 classic directed by Lamberto Bava and produced by the great Dario Argento. This movie revolves around a group of people who have all been given free tickets to the screening of a mysterious horror movie. What they don't realize is that the movie they are watching, and subsequently the theater they are in are about to be overrun by a...

This week we reviewed the 1994 cult film about a teen cheerleader (Denise Richards) who's boyfriend (Paul Walker) is killed and then re-animated as an animatronic T-Rex. Yes that is the plot of this movie. From the director of Mac & Me. ENJOY! (Someone has to)

This week we cover Roman Polanski's 1968 occult horror film that revolves around a young New York woman who has been selected to carry the son of Satan by an insidious coven. 

Following the #OscarsSoWhite backlash that the Academy recieved after snubbing black actors and filmmakers in 2015, we demanded more diversity in film. In 2016, director Barry Jenkins responded by giving us a beautiful, and sobering look at the coming of age of Chiron, a young gay black man from Florida who has to deal with being the target of constant bullying in his hyper-masculine neighborhood,...

It is very rare when we get to review a movie that is so personal to us. This week in the spirit of Pride month we decided to focus on this independent Chicano film that revolves around an aging Cholo coming to terms with his son's homosexuality. There are several layers to this film that makes it personal to us, from the ethnicity of this almost completely non-white cast, to the city and neighbor...

In the 1990s we were apparently ready for a grim comic book about anthropomorphic Turtles who practice martial arts to be adapted to film. Featuring impressive creature design from the legendary Jim Hensen studios, this movie follow our heroes as they team up with Action News reporter April O'Neal and sports themed vigilante Casey Jones to stop the Foot clan and their leader Shredder. Grab a slice...
