Kids are dumb, we know this. How are we to know that our favourite childhood movies are really that good at all? This week we list the ones we've rewatched and confirm that they actually do hold up as good movies today. Maybe you'll agree, or maybe you'll have a few "new" oldies to add to your watch list.
It was 1982 when Steven Spielberg introduced us to the lovable extra-terrestrial ET, and set our hearts aglow, much like the titular character's own chest cavity... and Nathan had never seen it! Until now. Join us as we break down this classic through the eyes of a first time watcher, and a seasoned veteran. Something is happening. Something is definitely happening...
We eat lightning and crap thunder this week as we dive into the 1976 best picture winner, Rocky. Adam has never seen Rocky, Nathan has, it's a simple as that. Join us as we discuss the film that started the franchise.
We get Romantic this week looking at some of our favourite romance films along with others that don't quite hit the mark. And of course Star Wars is mentioned. Apologizes for the sound quality we have our best people working on it.
G'day, mate. We throw another shrimp on the barbie and review what is possibly the greatest comedy of the 90's, Dumb and Dumber, as well as it's 20-year-later sequel Dumb and Dumber To. Does it live up to the original, or is it just a crossbreed of bulldog and a shih-tzu?
This week we do a deep dive into how we rate films. Is Ant-Man and the Wasp a better film than The Lion King? What does Multiplicity have to do with comedy? How does Avatar stack up against The Phantom Menace? Join us as we come to no conclusions and resolve absolutely nothing.
We go down our top ten movies of the last decade and of course get a little sidetracked along the way. Does Ant-Man make it onto Adam's list? Can Nathan complete a full sentence? What is that smell? Tune in to fine out.
Because we are so generous we are giving out our recommendations to other movie podcasts to listen to. Kinda sounds counter-intuitive to what a new podcast trying to generate a listenership should do, doesn't it? We talk: James Bonding, Art of the Score, I Was There Too, Chewin' It With Kevin and Steve, Film Sack, Ten Minute Podcast, The Rewatchables, Armchair Expert, Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast, Life is Short with Justin Long, GLOP Culture, The Dis Dudes, and Film Junk. We also...
We discuss many different movies that involve time travel, their inherent paradoxes, and (as always) Rachel McAdams. But if you're from the future, you already knew that.
To close out 2019 Adam and Nathan conclude their deep dive into Disney Animation of the 1990's with Mulan and Tarzan. Ring in the New Year as we rank the ten Disney features released in the 90's. Thanks for joining us on this 13 hour long discussion of Disney's second golden age. Line of Sight will return in 2020.
I know many of you may not be familiar with this "Star War" thing, but we saw the latest one and want to let you know what we thought. Someone had to do it. You're welcome, internet.
As the release of The Rise of Skywalker is fast approaching we discuss where we are in the "Skywalker Saga" and all the things that are wrong with The Last Jedi. Nathan hates it and Adam tries his best to defend it's merits, as few as there are.
After recording our Christmas episode we continued talking about songs that support the "eeriness" of Christmas, or just songs we love in general.

In our catch-up for December we discuss Disney+, The Muppets, The Family Stone, some other favourite Christmas movies, and debate just what is a Christmas movie to us.
This week Adam and Nathan continue their dive into the mid 90s of Disney animation.
These are some of our favourite movies that may not be as well known, or don't get the love that they truly deserve. We hope you pick up a few new favourites of your own from this list.

Continuing our discussion of Disney Animation through the eras, we begin our journey through the 90's, a time period that is often thought of as the golden age of Disney. We talk about the first of the "Big Four" The Little Mermaid, and then 1990's The Rescuers Down Under. This era is so big we will be covering it over multiple episodes, so stayed tuned for more.
The guys debate Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Is it really as bad as people make it out to be? Nathan doesn't think so, but Adam begs to differ. No matter the outcome, the best thing about this fight is that everyone wins!
We take it upon ourselves to "briefly" review Disney Animation Studios' ups and downs from 2000 to 2019. And we thought we wouldn't have enough to talk about...
In our very first episode we cover one of our most beloved movies of all time (Independence Day), and it's sub-par sequel (Independence Day: Resurgence). Apologies for the poor sound quality, these will get better.
