Martin McDonagh's Oscar-nominated existential black comedy about destructive relationships and improper use of sheep shears. Joey and Scott discuss the film's impact on Ireland Tourism.
Spoiler Alert! Joey and Scott both loved this Oscar-nomination-sweeping film - Scott cried A LOT - and spend the entirety of this episode gushing over the awesomeness every single aspect of the film.
Tune as Scott expresses his frustration to Joey at not being able to trash what turned out to be a well-made and thoroughly entertaining unworthy Best Picture Oscar-nominee. Better than the original. Fight me.
We go critical all over this adaptation of the iconic anti-war novel, with Scott focusing on Edward Berger's alterations to the source material, and Joey focusing on how beautiful the war looks. (Scott wrote this).
Scott and Joey talk about all of this years 10 best picture nominees and all of the other categories as well.
This year's crop of January films aren't as bad looking as we're used to. Listen in as we watch, get banned from YouTube and talk about this years flicks.
A punk rock band fronted by Pat (Anton Yelchin) witness a murder after a performace in what turns out to be run and attended by all nazis/white supremacists.
For a film that had such a low budget, actual care was taken in all the writting, acting and pacing. Well made and fun.
When a woman gets a house on airbnb and there's already someone living there, things get a bit interesting but not in the way you think. A must watch.
We review Jeepers Creepers Reborn but explore and talk about the enire franchise as a whole.
There's a lot of complaints about the new Halloween Ends film. We don't know why. We weren't confused by the title.
Rob Zombie is very hit or miss in his films. This is no exception. What'd you'd expect is a film as close to the 60's show but what you get is too much Zombie flair.
Only so often does a reboot or remake rival and or is better than the original. This is one of those cases. A must watch.
Can Nic Cage do no wrong these days? Whether you like his films or not one usually takes away something special from it. This film is no different. It's everything you want from a Nic Cage movie and more.
Taking place in the 70's a group of porn filmmakers rent a guest house in Texas to shoot their movie. Things get weirder the longer they stay including the owners. This is art house horror, it drags on and you wish for more but not in a good way.
This episode we review The Black Phone. Based on the novel by Joe Hill and directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Doctor Strange) about a serial killer dubbed The Grabber who is terrorizing and killing the town's kids. We really liked this one.
We kick off our return from hiatus with reviewing horror movies all October. This episode we review the film Prey. Is this the best Predator film ever made? Check in and find out.
What a frustrating film Licorice Pizza is. I don't remember my teen years being THIS frustrating. While it's a well-made movie, I feel I need to watch it a couple of more times to truly make sure if I like it or not. As of now that a no.
When Director Kenneth Branagh was growing up he lived in Belfast Ireland. This is a movie that close to his heart as it's mostly a biopic about him and his family. Shot in Black and White (while unnecessary) is a beautiful film and very well made.
If you don't think this film will bring you to tears or have an emotional spark then think again, or you might be dead. In CODA (Child Of Deaf Adult) the story is one of hope and hopelessness. A very good film and a recommended watch.
Will Smith might have just won an Oscar for this role of Richard Williams. Not only was he excellent in the film but the movie was very good too. Will he win? We'll find out on Oscar night!
The once thought unfilmable novel of Frank Herbert's Dune has been made, again. This time it was in the hands of the truly magnificent Denis Villeneuve. One of the best films in this years crop for sure.
West Side Story is a remake no one asked for. With that said, it's well made and most of the time well-acted. Still, no one cares.
While watching Don't Look Up you can’t help but laugh at so much. In the same instance you have to step back and think to yourself that this film is probably playing more like reality and when that sets in, oh boy, that feeling sucks big time.
One of the films I'm looking forward to most in this list is Nightmare Alley. A remake of the 1947 film and does a damn good job on its own. Does it have a shot at Best Picture? Not really but worth a watch nonetheless.
Is this Jane Campion's year? Some feel so. The Power Of The Dog is a well-crafted slow burning thriller. Also, elements of love, greed and despair. A very good film.
Pretentious and boring and the fact that the opening credits don't start until the 40 minute mark really drives that point home. Does Scott agree? Listen in and find out.
The Oscar nominations are upon us! Listen in as we discuss all the nominees in all the major categories.
January, where movies go to die. We talk about most of the January films this year. One of which is Morbius. This film never came out in January but got moved to April for Covid reasons. Still expect it to be bad though.
This is a very good sequel to a very good reboot. Another film in the camp of you either loved it or hated it. Let's face it, Michael Myers is a monster and monsters do bad things. It's a movie, deal with it.
