The Ultimate Villain Draft

The Ultimate Villain Bracket

The Polar Express

Not all Christmas classics are great. But we think we can fix this one.

No Country For Old Men

Few movies are as stark and haunting as No Country For Old Men.

10 Things I Hate About You

Like Shakespeare? Neither do we. But we love the high school cult classic 10 Things I Hate About You , based off of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.

Whiplash

Whiplash is everything a movie should be: well-shot, brilliantly acted, compelling, unique, and most of all, perfectly written. The ending may leave the viewer wanting from a character growth standpoint, but you can't deny how absolutely pitch perfect it is.

My Cousin Vinny

Seriously. Is Marisa Tomei not the absolute greatest? Nothing more needs to be said.

Gladiator: My First Favorite Movie

What can we say? Gladiator is just a great movie. Is it flawed? Yeah, but who cares?

Good Will Hunting

Few movies have quite the backstory as Good Will Hunting . Written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck because they weren't getting cast in any roles, it launched multiple careers, won Robin Williams his only Oscar, and wedged itself into our minds as one of the most iconic movies of the past 30 years. By no means the best or most popular, who doesn't know the story of the wicked smart janitor that solves the math problem on the whiteboard?

Good Morning Vietnam

It's difficult to beat the comedic stylings of Robin Williams, and Good Morning Vietnam undoubtedly has funny moments. But is it a comedy? Frs. Casey and Tito discuss.

The Prestige

There's something so enticing about magic. How did he do it? The Prestige plays on that fascination to tell a story of ambition and pride that leaves you guessing until the end.

Big is such an underrated classic

If you're a millennial, you probably grew up watching Big and amazed at the dream world he gets to live in. As adults, it's no less fun, but the nostalgia reminds us how hard being an adult is.

Mr. Holland's Opus

Watching Mr. Holland's Opus as a kid was a great experience. Watching it as an adult, that now works at a high school, hits different.

The Never Ending Story

Back in the 80s, kids movies used to be kids movies. There were no jokes for parents, nothing speaking over kids' heads. Great for kids in the 80s, not great for us today. Watching The Never Ending Story, we can't help but admire it for what it was... while recognizing that it didn't age well.

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once!

We're back for another season of reviewing movies! This week, we discuss one of the strangest, most creative, wonderful movies ever made: Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. This movie is not for everyone...

Catholic Take on Barbenheimer

The biggest movie experience in years has been the dual release of Barbie and Oppenheimer. The friars went to watch them on consecutive days and have some thoughts to share.

The Trilogy Draft

Listen as Fr. Tito, Fr. Casey, and guest host T.J. draft their favorite trilogies. Once it's picked, it's gone.

The Ultimate Trilogy (Bracket)

After a season discussing sequels, Fr. Tito and Fr. Casey crown the best trilogy with help of a repeat special guest.

The Godfather II

Is this the greatest sequel ever made? Fr. Tito and Fr. Casey discuss.

Aliens

Few movies are as iconic as the Aliens franchise. But did you know that they were actually really good?

The Last Jedi

The most controversial Star Wars movie? It has to be the Last Jedi . Fr. Tito discuss why we love aspects of this movie but why it ultimately disappoints many.

The Bourne Supremacy

The Bourne series is about as iconic as it comes for action movies. Although we can look back and see flaws today, what it did in its time will never be forgotten.

Batman Returns: The REAL Batman?

There is much debate over who the real Batman is. Michael Keaton makes his claim in Batman and Batman Returns.

Shrek 2: Better than the Original??

There are many who say that Shrek 2 is the best sequel of all time that it's better even than the original. Fr. Tito and Fr. Casey debate.

Top Gun: Maverick. It's EXTRA.

Few movies bring the energy that Top Gun: Maverick do. It's dialed up to an 11 in every way, and we're here for it.

Toy Story 2 is REALLY Good

It shouldn't surprise us that Pixar puts out quality work. But some movies get lost in the shuffle. Toy Story 2 is one of those for us: a movie that we saw as kids and forgot about, only now realizing how good it was.

MIIB: 88 Minutes of meh

The original Men in Black was a blockbuster hit. The (first) sequel not so much.

The Mummy Returns

Return to a blockbuster from the early 2000s that you probably forgot to love: The Mummy Returns .

John Wick: Chapter 2

John Wick changed the landscape of action movies with impeccable choreography and unique cinematography. John Wick: Chapter 2 builds upon that with a deeper backstory into the world of assassins.

Back to the Future II

Look, don't take it too seriously and it's a great movie!
