We can't be the only people who has wondered what a modern-day recasting of "Forrest Gump" would look like, right?

Join us as we all bring some ideas to the table and we ultimately pick the actors who will step into those i...

Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve made a bold choice today. Instead of going to work, doing chores, attending school, or paying bills — you chose us.

No responsibilities. No guilt. No Cameron whispering “I’m dying.” We’re ea...

"This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time." Welcome to Thursday, our new release day and we have a doosie for you.  Fight Club is one of those movies that defined the late 90s/early 00s. It was edgy, poetic, intense and the twist was one of the greatest in film history.  But 25 years later, we've all grown up and we're wondering if this movie is as good as we remember.  We dive REALL...

It’s time to enter the world of the Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show. It’s a strange world where judges look like they are made out of ham, Starbucks are often across the street from each other, and the Mayflower landed in Philadelphia, piloted by Christopher Columbus. But most importantly, it’s a world where god loves a terrier, even though they are eaten in some countries. The stage is set for the...

Today's new episode is going to prove without a doubt that 'My Cousin Vinny' is still an enjoyable movie. The evidence in this episode is going to show that Marissa Tomei deserved her supporting actress award win and that Joe Pesci inspired a whole new generation of attorneys with his modern day take of a lawyer in a crusty, old, southern boomer world. You will hear the testimony’s of 3 passionate...
