The Movie Council

We are still going through films from this past year trying to find the best of the best. This week we are focusing on some comedy movies. We take a look at 3 that are highly regarded and give our opinions on Kneecap, Snack Shack and My Old Ass. We give a ton of spoilers, so make sure you check them out before listening to us ramble on about them. As usual, we had a blast talking about them. Enjoy...

We have once again dusted off our actor spotlight and are shining it on one of the greatest actors of our generation, Denzel Washington. We cover a lot of his career, but focus on 4 films. We dig into The Equalizer, Out of Time, Flight and Philadelphia. He is truly one of the best, so there is a lot to talk about and we have a great time doing it. Happy Birthday, Denzel. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas. We are back this week and we're talking about some Christmas movies. First we review It's A Wonderful Life because, amazingly, none of us had ever seen it. Then we each list our top 5 favorite Christmas movies of all time. It's a great episode. Enjoy!

We combined 2 of our favorite things. An actor spotlight and a pick-a-movie week. We each picked a Mark Ruffalo movie for someone to watch and took a deep dive into each one.

After a little Oscar talk, we bring you reviews of All Of Us Strangers, Poor Things and Bottoms. It's another great episode and even though there are only 2 Council members there is just as much amazing movie talk. Enjoy!
