Episode 297: Oscar Talk: Green Book (2018)
Green Book is one of the front runners for Best Picture and there's no question about it. Who knew Peter Farrelly could direct something this good?

Episode 296: Oscar Talk: Roma (2018)
Roma is a beautiful movie. Even the sound is beautiful. To feel this immersed in a drama is pretty astounding. Overall we liked it but maybe not Best Picture.
Feb 13, 2019•50 min
Episode 295: Oscar Talk: Vice (2018)
Vice, while being a very good film, we didn't love it as much as The Big Short. Christian bale for best actor but no Best Picture this time around.

Episode 294: Oscar Talk: The Favourite (2018)
The Favourite is probably a front runner due to it being a period piece but it hits all the right notes too. Can it win Best Picture though?

Episode 293: Oscar Talk: BlacKkKlansman (2018)
Spike Lee has outdone himself this time around. Based on the NY Times best seller, it stands out amongst other films nominated this year. A really great film truly deserving of the award Best Picture.
Jan 24, 2019•38 min
Episode 292: Oscar Talk: Black Panther (2018)
Black Panther was the second biggest film in 2018 and deservedly so, it's a good comic book film. Unfortunately there isn't anything that stands out against many other comic book films to get a best picture nomination.
Jan 24, 2019•39 min
Episode 291: Oscar Talk: Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
Our second review in the Best Picture category tells the story of the band Queen and to a lesser extent Freddy Mercury. Rami nails it even though he doesn't look very much like the famous front-man.
Jan 20, 2019•39 min
Episode 290: Oscar Talk: A Star Is Born (2018)
The first of the 8 Best Picture nominees this year. We review A Star Is Born. While not only a good film it's definitely the best rendition. Will it take top honors? We'll have to wait and see.

Episode 289: January Movies (2019)
Scott and Joey watch and speculate all the trailers for the January releases for 2019. Escape Room, A Dogs Way Home, Replicas, The Upside, Glass, Serenity, The Boy Who Would Be King.

Episode 288: Spacehunter (1983)
In Spacehunter Michael Ironside could be the most underutilized villain of the 80's. He's barely on screen, the contraption he's in doesn't make me think he should be in charge or unbeatable in any way. Still kinda liked it though.
Dec 20, 2018•1 hr 29 min
Episode 287: Timerider (1982)
Every mom and pop video store in the 80's had this poster hanging. So what happens when you want to make a time travel film but have no budget? Yeah, you make it in the past before technology and the age of electricity.

Episode 286: My Science Project (1985)
A childhood favorite and a little know Disney film that had to compete in the summer against films like The Goonies, Back To The Future and Teen Wolf. Fisher Stevens and Dennis Hopper are saving graces. Whatta Rush!
Dec 06, 2018•1 hr 55 min
Episode 285: Legion (2010)
When God's had enough of the human race because we suck, he wants to start over. Michael the archangel decides to go against God's will because we're entitled little bitches who deserve to continue screwing stuff up. Way to go dude!

Episode 284: Mimic (1997)
Guillermo Del Toro had a different vision and had to fight every inch of the way and the movie still sucked. A true testament to how good a director he really is when he's given artistic freedom he doesn't make movies like Mimic.

Episode 283: The Nest (1988)
When scientifically modified cockroaches take over the town, things go sour fast. The mayor's daughter comes back to town to screw everything up. The sheriff doesn't know what he's doing and the local exterminator has all the brains.

Episode 282: Slugs (1988)
When people start turning up dead in a small quite town, things get suspicious. The health inspector is thought to be crazy for his suggestion of killer slugs. I'm sure the book is better.

Episode 281: Puppetmaster (1989)
While not really original it does have its moments. It's a bad film but one would argue that it isn't a horrible film. Listen in as Scott and Joey talk about this movie and like usual go off on some tangents and talk about others too.
Sep 13, 2018•1 hr 42 min
Episode 280: Meet The feebles (1989)
Meet The Feebles is a film like you've never seen. Forget Happytime Murders or Avenue Q. As you may hear from people in the know, Peter Jackson did it first. It's the Muppets on crack, meth and heroin. Is it good? Kinda. Is it worth the watch? Yep.

Episode 279: Brain Damage (1988)
Brain Damage is a simple story about a boy and his parasite. Brian wakes up to find Elmer (essentially his pusher) who is going to make him feel great and worry free. The trade off? Brian needs to feed Elmer human brains so he can have Elmer's "juice".

Episode 278: Quick Change (1990)
Scott wasn't thrilled with my challenge of Quick Change as reviewing good films aren't very interesting. This is especially true this episode as we trail off many times talking about many other things not named Quick Change.
Aug 02, 2018•1 hr 39 min
Episode 277: Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)
A prequel to the first film but explains a bit more on the story line between Katie and her sister Kristi when they were kids. Plenty of jump scares to be had and the husband to no ones surprise is a total dick.
Jul 26, 2018•1 hr 46 min
Episode 276: My Little Eye (2002)
My Little Eye involves a group of five 20 somethings that are living in a house under the watchful eye of big brother. The kick? If they can live together for 6 months and everyone stays on the premises they win $1,000,000.
Jul 19, 2018•1 hr 15 min
Episode 275: Unfriended (2014)
Deja vu anyone? Scott and Joey review the underrated film Unfriended. The one screen film keeps you interested and has good storytelling. It's paced perfectly and you have a genuine creepiness factor to the film.
Jul 12, 2018•47 min
Episode 274: Shoot the Sh't Episode
After such a long hiatus Scott and Joey are just shootin' the sh't and talking about everything from life in Texas for Scott to Joey's recent vacation trip to Rhose Island. More of relaxed episode.

Episode 272: The 90th Oscars LIVE (2018)
The 90th Oscars are upon us! Listen is as Scott and Joey (with Joey's wife Mer for a short time) watch the Oscars LIVE. The ballots are filled, the winners are announced, Scott is tired as hell and the show is still 4 hours long.
Mar 04, 2018•3 hr 52 min
Episode 271: Oscar Talk: The Post (2017)
The Post inspires on many levels given the economic and political landscape we are all traversing these days. It really brings back a time when being held accountable still meant something. A must see.
Feb 23, 2018•2 hr 6 min
Episode 270: Oscar Talk: Phantom Thread (2017)
Phantom Thread although cinematically and verbally are at the top of its game there was a bit to be desired with this one. Paul Thomas Anderson delivers for the art house crowd but that's it.
Feb 22, 2018•58 min
Episode 269: Oscar Talk: Lady Bird (2017)
Unfortunately for Lady Bird it comes off as a pretentious piece of film making. Although performances are very good it literally brings nothing new to the table with characters you rarely care about. It may win Picture but wouldn't deserve it.
Feb 16, 2018•1 hr 5 min
Episode 268: Oscar Talk: Call Me By Your Name (2017)
Call Me By Your name takes place in Northern Italy during the Summer of 1983. All around great performances and Acting but Joey felt the film took too long to get around to things. While neither of us disliked the film it didn't move us either.
