Making Christmas, Making Christmas, its so fine!! Its the one time of the year we get to talk about Christmas movies and we are taking full advantage of that! So start us off on the right foot, we are joining the Pumpkin King and his quest to find the meaning of Christmas. But one has to ask...is Nightmare Before Christmas more of a Halloween movie or Christmas Movie?  We also discussed - Is &quot...

Week 4 of Nostalgic November! Sadly, we have reached the end of Nostalgic November but we had a blast revisiting some old and fun movies. Again, thank you to all of our followers who provided suggestions! Luckily- we are saved the best for last because we had the chance to discuss the 1996 blockbuster, Twister.  Disaster movies are always hit or miss- they are either really really bad or really re...

Week 3 of Nostalgic November!!! Week 1 and 2 were fun, family friendly movies. And dont get us wrong, we really did enjoy those movies, but is there anything more nostalgic than Arnold Schwarzenegger(yes I googled that) kicking a lot of ass and delivering some classic one-liners?  This movie was a blast to talk about and we thank our followers on Instagram from the bottom of our hearts for suggest...

We are really living for Nostalgic November right now and cannot express how excited we were to talk talk about Matilda.  Everything from the music to the characters, this movie is a nostalgic juggernaut. It is hard to not look back at this movie and not completely love it.  We discussed so many things:  - On a scale 1-10, how guilty does this movie make you feel for not reading more books?  - Wha...

Welcome to the start of Nostalgic November!!! Yes, we are sad to see Spooky Season end, but we are extremely excited to start Nostalgic November, revisiting all of the movies that give us but more importantly YOU, all those nostalgia feels.  Per multiple user suggestions, this week we are revisiting 2003's Lizzie McGuire movie and let us tell you, this was an absolute blast to talk about. We...

Our last episode before the end of the spooky season! And we are making sure to go out with a banger.  The Shining has it all: blood, suspense, creepy kids, ghosts, a crazy murderous father, some guy dressed in a dog suit doing unspeakable things. People have spent their career's analyzing the meaning of The Shining. Well- we didn't. We love it, but instead we talked about:  - would you...

Happy Spooky Season!  Okay, maybe My Best Friend's Wedding isn't the scariest movie (but hey, Love is still very terrifying), this time we are officially embracing the Halloween season with one of our favorite horror movies of the 21st century.  We get it, with 7 sequels and counting, its easy to forget that Saw one is a masterclass in horror and suspense. But we are here to remind you!...

We are back! After a short break, we have returned to provide weekly episodes on the movies we all enjoy and love! What a better way to start October with the scariest thing of all time, romance and love! Yes, we have started off spooky October by discussing one of our favorite rom coms, My Best Friend's Wedding. Charming, fun but above all else...complete messed up! In this episode we talked...

The Shawshank Redemption is one of those movies that will forever be known as the people's champ. It won zero Academy Awards in 1994 (thanks a lot Forrest Gump) but holds the number 1 spot on the IMDB.com Top 250 movies of all time. What is it about The Shawshank Redemption that makes it so damn good? Well, we tried our best to break it down! Some things we talked about:  - Does The Shawshank...

1999 was easily one of the best movie years of all time. The Matrix, Fight Club, The Iron Giant, Office Space are just SOME of the movies that were released that year.  But in our humble opinion, Galaxy Quest was easily one of the most underrated movies of that year. Billed and promoted as a Star Trek satire, Galaxy Quest was so much more than that. Impeccable writing, brilliant performances from...

Name a movie that better captures the essence of the 80s better than Rocky IV, we'll wait.  Huge action star? Check Intimidating and iconic villain? Check Muscles? Check Montages? Check Synth/Rock soundtrack? Check Premise relevant to the era? Check A robot? Check Rocky IV checks off all the boxes and sure, it may be a cheesy but its wildly entertaining film that we believe provides a deeper...

All aboard the nostalgia train!  It feels like this movie is on t.v. at least once a week! And for damn good reason! This movie is the epitome of a "fun" movie and its hard to not have a good time while watching it. We discussed:  - Mummies, do they get a bad "wrap"? Cooler than vampires, werewolves? - Indiana Jones or Rick O'Connell, who would you prefer to escort you in...

Bring out your box of tissues because its time to talk about Up . Pixar is renowned for creating some of the most iconic and original movies to date. Up is no exception to this. A fantastic script with charming characters and probably the saddest first 10 minutes of film ever,  Up   should be considered one of the best (if not  the best) in the Pixar filmography. We discussed:  - Pixar perfection,...

15 years ago, Christopher Nolan rebooted the Batman franchise in a way no one has ever seen before. Batman Begins would change not only the comic book world, but the cinema world. But it seems that many people tend to forget about Batman Begins...it falls in the shadows largely because The Dark Knight became a cinematic masterpiece (and deservedly so). But don't worry! We are here to remind y...

Hear Ye Hear Ye! Is there a human being on this planet who doesn't enjoy 10 Things I Hate About You? Yes, even the cinephile snobs have to admit, this is a pretty damn enjoyable movie. Billy Shakespeare provides the perfect template for a teenage rom com and you know what? This movie is damn near perfect. (keyword is near). We discussed this and so much more:  - Is this the movie the world fe...

Super 8- a movie where a misunderstood alien doesn't want to cause trouble and just wants to go home...this plot sounds vaguely familiar... Despite the obvious Spielberg inspiration, we love Super 8! Join us and special guest Nate from @allthingsreviewed we attempt to break down one of the more underrated movies of 2011, maybe even the 2010s!   - Super 8, Stranger Things or Loser's Club-...

Is there anything about Drive that ISN'T cool? From the cinematography to the synth pop soundtrack, Drive was a game changer in the film world. In this episode, we talk about:  - One of the best movie soundtracks ever?  - Could anyone else have done this movie besides Nicolas Winding Refn - Driver vs Baby vs Dominic Toretto- who are you choosing as your getaway driver?  - Top movies based in...

In this episode, we got the golden ticket and we are entering a world of pure imagination! Is there a person in the world who hasn't seen this iconic movie? In this episode we discuss:  - Which child met the worst demise?  - Is Wonka is the equivalent to Jigsaw from Saw? - was Grandpa Joe the true villain of the movie?  - Who would be richer in 2020, Willy Wonka or Jeff Bezos?  - Gene Wilder,...

Before the MCU, before the DCEU, before any "U's" there was a brief period where super hero movies were being cranked out with only one purpose...to make a whole bunch of money.  Sam Raimi's Spider-Man was the first certified super hero blockbuster and it can be described as the catalyst that started it all. In this episode we talk about:  - the most iconic movie kiss, in a com...

Hook is the ultimate nostalgia bomb and it seems like everyone has a fond memory attached to the movie. Whether its Julia Roberts as an awkward Tinkebell, Rufio being a complete badass or just yelling bangarang, but is Hook as good as you remember? Don't worry, we break it down and ask the hard hitting questions like:  - Rufio the best thing about this movie? Was it a mistake to kill him off?...

1998 strangely brought us 2 movies about an asteroid hurling towards Earth threatening to destroy mankind. There is a lot to say about Michael Bay's Armageddon - is it the best disaster movie of all time (excluding the Titanic) - Deep Impact vs Armageddon vs the Core, which takes the Disaster Movie cake? - why does Michael Bay like to make the world's longest movies? - is "I Don&apo...
