It's the back-to-back Lily Tomlin extravaganza!

Does this Dolly Parton movie debut have enough power (of women) to get a recommendatio...

For our season finale, we conclude 1980 with the buddy comedy Stir Crazy!

We'll briefly go over the history of the franchise and talk about all of the delightful elements...

Robert Redford's directorial debut didn't reach #1 at the box office, although it garnered six Oscar nominations, of which it won four, including Best Picture and Best Director.

Drop and give us twenty, because we're headed to boot camp with Goldie Hawn in this week's film, Private Benjamin. Hawn's comedic talents shine in her role as the fish out of water who is tricked into joining the Army by an unscrupulous recruiter. Will she learn to adapt to her new environment and overcome, or will she return to her old dream of landing a husband and settling down as a housewife?...

The great Walter Matthau's talents are utterly wasted in this comedy spy thriller that lacks comedy, thrills, and come to think of it doesn't really have much spying in it either.

The gang is back together in the sequel to the 1977 classic that put the Pontiac Trans Am and Coors Banquet beer on the map. Were they able to recapture the same magic they made in the first film? Not so much. This one was so rough we had to recruit a new co-host to help us out. Join us in welcoming a new member to the crew as we take a look at Smokey and the Bandit II

It’s the long anticipated team up that fans have been waiting for! Not only does Hugh Jackman make his return as the iconic X Man, but Ryan Reynolds is catapulted into the Disney MCU in a film as unapologetically vulgar as it is brutally violent. Does Deadpool and Wolverine do justice to the beloved characters, and does it pay proper homage to the 20th Century Fox saga? Check out our Drewview to f...

Brian De Palma has directed some of the most legendary films of the 20th century - including Carrie, Scarface, and The Untouchables. This psychological thriller starring Michael Caine is a direct homage to Alfred Hitchcock…so why is Dressed to Kill even more controversial now than it was upon release? Listen to our discussion to find out!

Well this one was a doozy! But fun nonetheless! Join us as we jump into one of the most ambitious projects that Walt ever did! The one and only Fantasia!

Ah, nothing like a good ol’ summer camp. Like our previous episode, Little Darlings (where Drew couldn’t find the damn mic), we find ourselves yet again at a loving camp. The smell of nature, the wonderful lake, the murderous psycho going around killing the counselors. Yessir! This is where it alllll started! So join us as we jump into Camp Crystal lake!
