Episodes

Episode 58 - 101 Dalmatians (1998) 05.06.2019 41:38

We ask the question: Do we really need these Live Action remakes of Disney classics? And look to one of the earliest concepts for an answer.

Episode 57 - Godzilla (2014) 29.05.2019 39:40

Hollywood's second attempt at Godzilla is a worthy disaster film unlike the disaster of a film their first attempt was.

Episode 56 - Game of Thrones Finale 22.05.2019 1:12:49

Like many of you, we were not the biggest fans of the final season of Game of Thrones. We decided to make a special episode to give our thoughts on the show and why we are so let down. Commiserate with us.

Episode 55 - The Duchess 15.05.2019 39:28

This historical drama is an interesting take on an important figure but clearly isn't for everyone.

Episode 54 - Rush Hour 07.05.2019 40:06

Rush Hour marked Jackie Chan's first major crossover into Hollywood and with the help of the energetic Chris Tucker, it was big a hit. Does it hold up?

Episode 53 - Avengers: Age of Ultron 30.04.2019 49:58

In celebration of Avengers: Endgame, we decided to take a look back at Age of Ultron and figure out why it clocked a 75% on Rotten Tomatoes. Or maybe it's just an excuse for us to watch a fun movie.

Episode 52 - Romeo + Juliet 23.04.2019 37:58

Baz Lurhmann's take on Romeo and Juliet is an interesting one if you're already a fan of the source material, otherwise, it just feels like Shakespeare with a racing stripe.

Episode 51 - Lucky Number Slevin 16.04.2019 41:59

While Lucky Number Slevin has a strong cast with a quick wit to gallop through its runtime, it is ultimately hobbled by its weak script.

Episode 50 - D-War 09.04.2019 50:27

When a movie is so bad it's good, its flaws become its strengths. D-War just happens to be one of the best examples of that.

Episode 49 - Hanna 02.04.2019 43:41

Hanna is an ambitiously flawed fairy tale, but compelling none the less.

Episode 48 - Primer 26.03.2019 41:42

A movie about time travel, friendship, and the power of filming on a $7000 budget.

Episode 47 - The Protector 19.03.2019 47:08

This martial arts film has a lot of problems, but fighting is not one of them.

Episode 46 - Caddyshack 14.03.2019 44:21

Does this cult classic stand the test of time or end up in the weeds?

Episode 45 - The Last Boy Scout 05.03.2019 45:55

You would think with the names that worked on this film, and the time at which they worked on it, this would have been one of the greatest action films ever made.

Episode 44 - Free Willy 26.02.2019 45:44

For a movie that was referenced in almost every piece of pop culture in 1993, it certainly is forgettable today. This episode turns into a physics problem.

Episode 43 - Rocky IV 19.02.2019 42:17

Rocky IV maybe the worst and greatest sports film of all time, and it sure is entertaining.

Episode 42 - The Ghost and the Darkness 13.02.2019 42:10

A movie involving two Lions, two actors, two scripts, and two tones.

Episode 41 - Glass 06.02.2019 47:07

I hate that I am about to say this but the two of us are Split when it comes to Glass, but our friendship remains...Unbreakable.

Episode 40 - The Proposal 30.01.2019 34:06

A strong pairing of Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds manage standout in a run of the mill Rom Com.

Episode 39 - Conan the Destroyer 30.01.2019 45:17

While Conan the Barbarian is a cult classic, Conan the Destroyer, like its final monster, is an abomination.

Episode 38 - The Mummy (1999) 20.01.2019 43:50

A knockoff version of Raiders of the Lost Ark, or an underrated guilty pleasure? Why the poor reviews?

Episode 37 - Vice 05.01.2019 50:16

Join us for a very special face to face episode to close out our 2018 slate of movies! We discuss the newly released Vice and hope that we don't get shot in the face for our troubles.

Episode 36 - Die Hard 2 25.12.2018 44:43

The sequel to one of the greatest action and Christmas movies of all time shows exactly why it is just a sequel.

Episode 35 - Stargate 25.12.2018 45:35

Is the movie as good as the Sci-Fi series it spawned?

Episode 34 - Talladega Nights 03.12.2018 38:28

In anticipation of Adam McKay's new film, Vice, we went back and reviewed his second film, Talladega Nights. Does it hold up? One of us thinks so...
