Dec 01, 2023•1 hr 9 min•Transcript available on Metacast Martin McDonagh, director of Banshees of Inisherin, made his directorial feature debut with this dark comedy.

Dec 01, 2023•23 min•Transcript available on Metacast Napoleon is a movie that can’t decide on which story it wants to tell.

Nov 29, 2023•1 hr 14 min•Transcript available on Metacast Martin Scorsese is back at the ripe old age of 80 to spin another one of his gangster tales. Set in 1920s Oklahoma, Killers of the Flower Moon depicts the injustices suffered by the indigenous poeples of America through the lens of one family's maniacal and murderous attempts to steal their rights to oil found on their land. It's incredibly well acted and is at times gorgeous to look at, even though its action might unsettle you at times. So... it's a Scorsese movie. You probably already know if...
