Moonlight tells a story of a young boy through manhood. Through all of this you see the troubles and tribulations of what he's going through living in a rough neighborhood of Miami and also trying to survive without anyone knowing he's gay.
When two brothers decide to leave their 3 year old sister behind to fend for herself, young Saroo gets lost and adopted by wealthy Australian white people. As an adult he tries to find his family and still doesn't care about his sister when he does.
SPOILER ALERT! It's VERY hard to review this film without giving something away. Just be warned that if you haven't seen this movie yet you may want to skip this episode until you do. Great film by the way although very depressing.
August Wilson's compelling stage play brought to life on the big screen by none other than Denzel Washington himself. Beautifully acted and well directed. "There's no law that says I have to like you"
La La Land is one of those films that everyone thinks they have to like and that's just not true. You don't have to like this, you don't have to feel it should win Best Picture and you definitely don't have to tell other people to see it either.
Mel is back! The ultra real and quite disturbing WWII film delivers on all fronts that an Oscar nominated film should be. Does Mel get Suicide Squad II because of this? Joey thinks so.
While although the film is based on true events (a stickler for Joey and a little nitpicky) the message is as powerful had it said based on a true story. One of the best acted films this year and more than deserves the best picture nomination.
Arrival is this week's Oscar film on tap. With a compelling story and a solid conclusion it's one of our favorites so far.
We review the first of nine Best Picture films this year in Hell Or High Water. Listen in as Joey and Scott talk about everything from the writing to the cinematography and why it's important.
The Oscar nominations are in! Listen as Joey and Scott talk about them along with the Razzie noms as well.
Death Wish not being a stranger to the show as we reviewed it back in episode 171 brings us back into the Death Wish series with part 3! Both Joey and Scott feel this is the best/worst film in the series makes for a fun review. Don't miss it.
When a director (Ron Howard) has a hit in the film Cocoon and doesn't know what to do next and an overhyped Director/writer (George Lucas) that's famous for only one thing get together, you get Willow! A total clunker.
We get the Yule Log burnin', talk about Christmas movies like A Christmas Horror Story, National Lampoon's Christmas vacation, A Christmas Carol (2009), The Polar Express, How The Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) etc, etc
Ahhhh, the beloved January films episode is back! We talk about and watch all the trailers for all the films being released in January 2017. This January is going to be a doozy for bad films believe you me.
The second installment of this Halloween episode involves The Greasy Strangler, The Prince Of Darkness and more.
We haven't had a Halloween episode in a long time so we decided to bring it back for October. We mainly talk about films we've never seen before such as Pontypool, Krampus and more.
Kinda kicking off the Halloween vibe, the film Legend is on tap this week. We review Tony Scott's director's cut which is worlds better than the theatrical release. Yeah it has its problems, but overall solid.
Dolph Lundgren was a hot commodity back in the 80s. So much that they decided to make a horrible movie based on the He-Man toy line. A golden opportunity wasted as the low budget killed this film before it even started.
After watching The Borrower the only obvious movie challenge this week is The Garbage Pail Kids Movie. When a couple is watching the movie in the movie The Borrower, it's a no brainer.
When an alien is banished to Earth for all its wrong doings, it goes on a murderous rampage "borrowing" the heads of its victims. Include a serial killer subplot with detective Rae Dawn Chong and you have one hell of a bad but kinda fun movie.
Kirk Cameron has never been liked on our show. Although this 80s body swap comedy brings Joey back to his younger years a bit. Scott's not on board even for the lovable Dudley Moore's performance.
Watermelon Man turned out to be a better film than expected. Still with a message that unfortunately still resonates to this very day. A recommended viewing.
Soul Man is Joey's challenge to Scott this week. Although we deem the film very tame for all the controversy it received back in the 80's there still is the fact that it's C. Thomas Howell in black face.
The Pass is the last film we're reviewing for our audience choice month. It's a good thing too because much like the title of the film, it's exactly what we should have done instead of reviewing it.
Night of the Comet is the third film in our audience choice requests. Fortunately this is a film we really didn't mind doing, grew up with and actually like. All too easy.
B.C. Rock and Thankskilling are the first films to be reviewed in our audience choice month! There's a reason the films we review need to be a theatrical release. These are two prime examples.
Religion and God being no stranger to MST we look at God's Not Dead strictly for its cinematic mishaps and not so much its message or religious belief. With Newsboys and Duck Dynasty involved it's hard but we pretty much do it.
When God tells you to do something you don't question it, you just do it. Especially when approached by Richard Lynch with a side vagina wanting to bear your children.
Robert Downey Jr. once said that he enjoys the classics but sometimes he just likes to sit back and watch C.H.U.D. Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. We're with you Robert, we're with you.
Could I pass up the connection of mad scientist from Re-Animator? Hell no! When Jeffery's fiance accidentally gets killed by a remote control lawn mower, he goes on the prowl for female body parts. Hilarity ensues.
