Working Title Special 02 - "SLC Punk!"

We're back from our short hiatus with the highly anticipated follow up to our special episode where we watch SLC Punk! As reviewers with varying degrees of SLC, and varying degrees of Punk, we bring our uniquely qualified insight to this film.

Jun 17, 2025•1 hr 13 min

The Imitation Game or: The Turning Test

#201--The Imitation Game (2014). Thanks for joining us this week where we forget about reviewing this film and instead go on long tangents about the real life story upon which it was based. But we did manage to "crack the code" on what situations Keira Knightley is permitted to be hot.

Jul 04, 2023•1 hr 35 min•Ep. 50

Scent of a Woman or: A Rampage of Fine Dining

#202--Scent of a Woman (1992). HOOAH-lcome everybody to another episode after a long hiatus. This week we dive into HOOAH-L Pacino's Oscar winning performance as a crotchety old war vet who HOOs and AHs his way through wildly inappropriate adventures with his reluctant caretaker.

Jun 02, 2023•1 hr 11 min•Ep. 49

The Exorcist or: The Devil is in the Details

Sep 17, 2022•1 hr 28 min•Ep. 47

The Best Years of Our Lives or: Jerkin' Sodas

#205--The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). This week we review the movie that beat out our previous movie at the Oscars (which isn't saying much). This film is about veterans, starring veterans, made by veterans, and now reviewed by veterans. If you're watching along and made it through this 3 hour-long ordeal of a movie, we thank you for your service!

Jul 19, 2022•1 hr 27 min•Ep. 46

Brief Encounter or: How to Train Your Mistress

#206--Brief Encounter (1945). This week we discuss relationships. Specifically railroad-based forbidden romances between less than stellar people, played by less than stellar people. But does it all amount to a less than stellar film?

Jun 12, 2022•49 min•Ep. 45

The Iron Giant or: Am I a Gun?

#207--The Iron Giant (1999). This week we take a detour back into the world of animation, and to the world of Brad Bird. Find out if this film is a giant of Vin Diesel proportions; or if we nuke it down to the bottom of our lists.

May 31, 2022•1 hr 24 min•Ep. 44

Out of the Past or: Smoking and the Bandit

#208--Out of the Past (1947). This week we're back in black and white as we return to Film Noir. It's also been a while since we hit on some really heavy hot button topics like taxes, tobacco use, and vaccinations so watch along!

May 06, 2022•1 hr 25 min•Ep. 43

La La Land or: Hollywood Wet Dream

#209--La La Land (2016). Strap in for another long one this week as we not only pretend to be movie reviewers; but also trained musicians. Did this Academy Award powerhouse tap dance its way into our hearts? Or fade away from relevance like a certain genre of music...

Apr 29, 2022•1 hr 39 min•Ep. 42

The Bourne Ultimatum or: Shaky-Cam Shit-Show

#210--The Bourne Ultimatum (2007). This week we tackle what was once the capstone of the renowned trilogy. It was truly the beginning of the end in more ways than one. Some might even say in more "Extreme Ways."

Apr 10, 2022•1 hr 40 min•Ep. 41

12 Monkeys or: Time Phone

#211--12 Monkeys (1995). On this episode we discuss all the contemporary topics that have affected modern society including: pandemics, airport security, and the pervasive nature of homelessness among time travelers.

Mar 08, 2022•1 hr 34 min•Ep. 40

Young Frankenstein or: High Brow Low Brow

#212--Young Frankenstein (1974). This week we raise an old Mel Brooks classic from the dead, and try to piece together a coherent review. Also Shane talks about hair again.

Feb 10, 2022•1 hr 5 min•Ep. 39

Zootopia or: Crash for Kids

#213--Zootopia (2016). This week we tackle hard hitting, and controversial social issues; and what better medium to do so than through children's animation!

Jan 24, 2022•1 hr 43 min•Ep. 38

The Avengers or: The League of Extraordinary Convenience

#214--The Avengers (2012). This week your favorite reviewers assemble to review our first foray into the MCU. Was it a coincidence that this dropped the same year the world was supposed to end? In any case, sit back and enjoy the analysis of the film that one of us critics lovingly refer to as "Diarrhea Christmas Lights!"

Dec 25, 2021•1 hr 35 min•Ep. 37

Blade Runner 2049 or: Her with Guns

#215--Blade Runner 2049 (2017). This week we find out if this movie sets a new baseline. Will it rise to the top? Or will it fall to the depths to be locked away? [cells] Which box will we put it in? [cells] How does this sequel compare to the original? [interlinked] Will we agree on where to rank this film? [interlinked] Join us [interlinked] and hold on to your brain cells [cells].

Nov 24, 2021•1 hr 30 min•Ep. 36

Jaws or: Small Boat, Big Fish

#216--Jaws (1975). This week we go fishing to find out if this movie is a catch. Is this big fish a bigger fish than Big Fish? Tune in to find out, but don't be sharked when we rank this movie ourselves!

Oct 20, 2021•1 hr 14 min•Ep. 35

JFK or: Hanlon's Razor

#217--JFK (1991). This week we set out to answer the age old question of: Did Gary Oldman kill Kennedy? We'll dig deep into the realm of conspiracies, and probably uncover some scary stuff.

Oct 14, 2021•1 hr 25 min•Ep. 34

Sep 19, 2021•1 hr 7 min•Ep. 33

Anatomy of a Murder or: An Attractive Jiggle

#219--Anatomy of a Murder (1959). Welcome to Working Title where we four intrepid, handsome, intelligent, and legally unqualified reviewers judge this film and litigate about controversial topics like: "Are lawyer's actually snakes?"

Sep 02, 2021•1 hr 26 min•Ep. 32

Rain Man or: We're Not in K-Mart Anymore

#220--Rain Man (1988). This "week" we are dealt a hand of proverbial Blackjack as we delve into a movie that is objectively not as good as Blood Diamond, but definitely better than Kind Hearts and Coronets.

Aug 20, 2021•1 hr 10 min•Ep. 31

The Sound of Music or: Karate Nuns

#221--The Sound of Music (1965). We have once again gathered our Musical experts to answer your burning Musical questions such as: "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" and "Who sunk the Lusitania?" To our one listener from Austria, this one's for you!
