Despite the movie’s title, this Damon-Affleck project is NOT about a particularly violent fart. This week, the Doggett brothers try to hold our gas as we review The Rip , a gritty cop thriller starring wicked-smaht Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. This twisty film has us divided. While a couple of us enjoyed the movie for what it is, the other two are growing tired of movies that treat their audiences...

Neon lights. Daft Punk-shaped expectations. Big franchise pressure. The Doggett brothers dive into Tron: Ares, breaking down whether its style carries the movie, or if there’s real substance underneath all that digital glow. We wonder why Jared Leto’s catchphrase (“It’s Morbin’ time!) isn’t uttered once in this movie. We also discuss performances, plot conveniences, and impactful moments. Oh, and...

Three Avatar movies in … is the magic already fading? The Doggett brothers saddle up our banshees and head back to Pandora for Avatar: Fire and Ash . We talk franchise fatigue, recycled villains, shifting character dynamics, and whether the spectacle is still enough to carry these films. Listen now for a deep dive into the latest James Cameron blockbuster! Avatar: Fire and Ash is a 2025 science fi...

In this teaser, the Doggett brothers review a non-horror Stephen King adaptation about life, love, and ghosts. The Life of Chuck is a drama about an everyman named Chuck Krantz. Through the film, we see the formative moments in Chuck’s life, but they’re told in reverse order, starting with Act Three, which deals with the end of Chuck’s life. We discuss other Stephen King adaptations, why the rever...

Is the latest Knives Out installment a creative whodunit or a trite snooze-fest? This week, the Doggett brothers face off over Wake Up Dead Man . While Daniel Craig reprises his role as the cheeky Southern detective Benoit Blanc, the brothers can’t agree: is this a brilliant evolution of the whodunit or a tired retread of old tropes? From the ensemble cast to the final "big reveal," we discuss whe...

Is it ALIVE, or is Guillermo del Toro’s interpretation of Frankenstein dead on arrival? In this teaser, the Doggett brothers dissect the latest Netflix hit. We struggle to count how many times this book has been made into a movie, discuss whether this new one is a faithful adaptation, and wonder why the Monster has to be so damn sexy. We also talk about performances, set design, music, and why eve...

We’re kicking off 2026 by reviewing a movie that stands for all the things we believe in: Justice. Freedom. Improperly Discarded Nuclear Waste. That’s right, the Doggett brothers are reviewing 2025’s The Toxic Avenger . This re-boot of the cheesy cult classic Troma series has us all feeling some kind of way. It’s corny. It’s self-aware. It’s ridiculous. But is it good? Listen now to find out if th...

We are not the audience for Netflix Christmas movies… and yet, here we are. This week’s teaser takes on A Merry Little Ex-Mas , a Hallmark-adjacent holiday rom-com starring Alicia Silverstone. We discuss Netflix’s ongoing Christmas problem, what works surprisingly well, and why so much of this movie makes us physically cringe. It’s a holiday roast served warm—with a few compliments sprinkled in. A...

The Running Man: A delightful jog or a grueling marathon? This week, we discuss whether the latest Stephen King adaptation deserves its impressive 79% Popcornmeter score. This dystopian action flick has us feeling all sorts of ways, mostly thanks to Glen Powell’s impressive jawline and undeniable charisma. Some of the Doggett brothers think the movie runs strong until things go off the rails at a...

In this teaser, the Doggett brothers get in touch with our inner teenage girls as we review the streaming sensation KPop Demon Hunters. While gushing over the cute Saja Boys and the incessantly catchy songs from this animated feature, we also manage to sneak in some genuine film discussion. We talk about the artistic decisions, voice performances, and story, to mention a few. Tune in to listen to...

A horror movie about football? Put us in, coach! This week, the Doggett brothers tackle HIM , the Monkeypaw-produced chiller that the studio really wants you to think Jordan Peele directed (newsflash: he didn’t). We cheer on the stylish filmmaking, argue about the story choices, and ultimately disagree on whether this one scores … or fumbles on the one-yard line. HIM is a 2025 sports-horror film w...

In this teaser, the Doggett brothers discuss the 2025 horror film Together. Centering around a co-dependent relationship, Together brings a fresh take on body horror, with clear nods to classics like John Carpenter’s The Thing. We discuss everything from performances and story to dialogue and special effects. This simple but effective film has us cringing, laughing, and begging you not to watch th...

This week, we’re diving into Shane Black’s newest entry in the action-comedy canon: Play Dirty . Mark Wahlberg leads a stacked cast in a revenge-fueled adventure that checks all the Shane Black boxes—snappy dialogue, flashy action, and morally questionable heroes. But does it bring anything new to the table? We don’t all agree. We discuss characters, action sequences, stunts, and much more. But th...

“Visually … It's one of the craziest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s bizarre and all over the place.” -Stewart In this teaser, we discuss a film that has been hailed by some as wholly original and panned by others as utter garbage. With the same writer (Alex Garland) and the same director (Danny Boyle) from 28 Days Later teaming back up, we were cautiously optimistic about this one. Was our optimism w...

As the credits rolled on this movie, we were left with one question: How much did they pay Clive Owen to be in this dumpster fire? Cleaner is a shameless Die Hard knock-off full of baffling character choices, tonal whiplash, and a plot that only makes sense if you watch the movie half asleep. In other words, it was a blast to review. We have a lot of fun picking this one apart, so give it a listen...

Is The Monkey the best Stephen King adaptation yet, or does it slip on its own banana peel? Three Doggett brothers have a barrel of laughs as we discuss Osgood Perkins’s horror-comedy follow-up to Longlegs . We unpack the wild plot, debate the funniest kills, and quote some of the movie’s most hilarious lines. Plus, we compare it to the short story and consider whether this is an instance where ve...

Is The Order the best 2024 crime thriller you’ve never heard of? This based-on-a-true-story film flew under the radar for us until it hit streaming platforms, and it’s such a shame it didn’t get more publicity. Jude Law’s performance blows us away in this simple yet impactful cops-and-robbers film set in 1980s Pacific Northwest. Law plays an FBI agent, while Nicholas Hoult plays a domestic terrori...

A music mogul, a kidnapping, and a moral conundrum, all with a Spike Lee twist. As the Doggett Brothers review the latest Spike Lee joint, our wildly differing opinions make for one of the most contentious episodes yet. Whereas some of us enjoyed the risks Spike took with this remake of the 1963 Kurosawa film High & Low , others found it to be one of Spike’s weakest films to date. But there’s...

In this week’s teaser, we discuss Sinners , the genre-bending horror/musical/character study that gave the masses hope for new original movies that are … good!? But do the Doggett brothers agree with the unwashed masses? Listen to find out as we review this Hollywood horror hit. We talk a bit about Michael B. Jordan’s performance(s), discuss why this movie is so unique (and successful), and touch...

In The Smashing Machine , Dwayne Johnson does something truly shocking—he disappears into a role. Whether it’s a completely successful disappearance is up for debate … The Doggett brothers talk about The Rock’s most human performance yet, Emily Blunt being (as always) the best thing on screen, and whether this movie successfully dodges biopic clichés or barrels right through them. Plus, we debate...

This week’s patron-only episode features arguments, pirate jokes, and mild outrage about the lack of shirtless Josh Hartnett scenes. In Fight or Flight , Hartnett plays a badass ex-government agent on a plane full of assassins who all want him dead. It’s supposed to be an over-the-top action-comedy full of crowd-pleasing violence and ridiculous fight scenes. But is it fun or just exhausting? We ta...

On this week’s free episode, the Doggett brothers review the divisive new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, One Battle After Another . At its heart, this is a father-daughter movie about an aging revolutionary trying to save his daughter from a maniacal military officer. But as with every PTA film, that description doesn’t even scratch the surface. We dig into the gritty cinematography, the insane perfo...

Get ready for a plethora of out-of-context Nic Cage clips as we unbury one of the most entertainingly absurd adventure movies ever made: National Treasure . Nicolas Cage plays an obsessed historian risking everything to search for a fabled treasure that may or may not be real in this star-studded film. Does this heist film hold up twenty-one years later, or is it a treasure that should have stayed...

In this week’s free episode on Raised By Video, we discuss the horror-movie hit of 2025: Weapons. When 17 children run out of their homes one night at the same time, it sends a small community into turmoil. As the mystery unfolds, a disparate cast of characters comes together for an explosive climax. In addition to jokes and Whitest Kids You Know references, we discuss the excellent camera choices...
