That Movie Is Fine

We've had Brat Summer, Hot Girl Summer...and now we have Steven Spielberg Summer! The legendary maestro is back with DISCLOSURE DAY, his first feature film since 2022's THE FABELMANS.  Lauren & Aaron  disclose their thoughts...and -- spoiler alert! -- they don't agree!

Every April, thousands of studio executives, theater owners, tech companies & marketing teams descend upon Las Vegas for the annual CinemaCon for five days of studio presentations, workshops, award ceremonies, and more. For the second year in a row, Lauren was fortunate enough to attend, and she provides the inside scoop and behind the scenes stories of exactly what goes on during the 5-day bo...

New 4K restorations of some John Woo classics have been returning to the big screen, with the first one being the iconic, influential HARD BOILED. Lauren & Aaron revisited it recently, leading to an intense discussion about what "restoration" truly means, along with the overall career of the King of Hong Kong Action Cinema.

2025 was a banner year for movie lovers: Sinners, One Battle After Another, Weapons, Marty Supreme, and much, much more. With the Oscars telecast about one month away, Lauren & Aaron discuss their favorite nominated films of last year, who/what got snubbed, and their favorite 2025 movies and performances that didn't stand a chance of getting a nomination.

Much like they did for their Gateway Horror episode, Lauren & Aaron tackle the holiday movies that enchanted them when they were young...and what "modern classics" they've since added to their annual holiday viewing repertoire. 

The holidays are here once again, which means it's time to talk about DIE HARD...and the Christmas-adjacent GHOSTBUSTERS II, which Lauren only recently saw for the first time!

The iconic score. The iconic lines. The iconic characters. After a recent October rewatch of William Friedkin's adaptation of William Peter Blatty's harrowing novel THE EXORCIST, it seemed like the perfect time to discuss this iconic film. 

Ghostface may ask, "What's your favorite scary movie?", but Lauren & Aaron ask the question, "What was your  first  scary movie?" Get ready for a deep dive into the favorites that scared them as kids...and what scares them now. Plus, some other fun stuff!  

Over 40 years after its initial release, cult horror classic SLEEPAWAY CAMP finally receives the novelization treatment! Aaron & Lauren sat down with the novelization's author BR Flynn to talk about their writing process, the film's enduring legacy, and more.

Thirty years before Taylor Swift, actress Elizabeth Berkley donned fishnets and feathers -- and not much else -- in Paul Verhoeven's SHOWGIRLS. Aaron & Lauren, along with special guest Sam Hurdich, discuss how and why the cult classic has endured for three decades. Recorded live at PHX Fan Fusion 2025. 

In conjunction with the discussion of KPOP DEMON HUNTERS and eventized cinema, Aaron & Lauren timewarp to June 2025, where they discussed the importance of theatrical exhibition and what the moviegoing trends currently look like, in front of a live audience at Phoenix Fan Fusion. 

Netflix's KPOP DEMON HUNTERS is all the rage right now! Special guest Evie Hudson joins Aaron & Lauren to talk about seeing the film as a sing-along during a special two-day-only theatrical event, which leads to a discussion on "eventized cinema." 

One of Aaron's favorite features is TOMBSTONE -- it's also one of the Westerns Lauren can actually stand to watch. So, why don't you give this episode a listen, pardner? You're a daisy if you do!

Let's talk about DICK...TRACY, that is! They're on their way...to discuss a movie that has played a vital role in the lives of both of them for pretty much 3 decades. 

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...a new episode! Lauren & Aaron were lucky enough to catch an early screening of James Gunn's new Superman film. Is it more powerful than a locomotive? Or has it been cursed by Kryptonite? (SPOILERS AHEAD!) 

Lauren & Aaron's 4-part deep dive into the Mission: Impossible franchise comes to end with a discussion on DEAD RECKONING & THE FINAL RECKONING, as well as their final thoughts. Special intro music courtesy Marcus Lim. 

Are Rogue Nation and Fallout two of the best entries in the Mission: Impossible franchise? Listen to find out! Special intro music courtesy Marcus Lim.

Lauren & Aaron's deep dive into the Mission: Impossible franchise continues with the 3rd and 4th installments. Ghost Protocol is Lauren's favorite, but does the 3rd one have the best overall villain? Special intro music courtesy Marcus Lim.

With a special musical intro thanks to Marcus Lim, Lauren & Aaron kick off a special 4-part series on the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise. Up first: De Palma's OG and Woo's nu-metal sequel. 

With Phoenix Fan Fusion 2025 just around the corner, Aaron & Lauren take a look back at their live recording from Fan Fusion 2024 where they not-so-subtly "waxed" poetic about erotic thrillers. 

In anticipation of more panels at Phoenix Fan Fusion 2025 this weekend, here's a throwback to last year's live Fan Fusion recording where Aaron & Lauren discuss the Master of Suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock.

The late Gene Hackman meant a lot to Aaron, so we hope you enjoy Part II of a career retrospective.

After a not-so-brief hiatus, Lauren and Aaron are back, baby, to discuss one of the hottest, horniest movies of the year so far: SINNERS!
