Episodes

Reacher, Ted Lasso & Lanterns
This week we managed to get completely sidetracked with Television. We were going to redo our Spider-Man episode after some technical difficulties, and just throw out our thoughts quickly on some new seasons/series of steaming shows, but we got so caught up in these ones that it took up our whole...
-
The Odyssey & Masters of the Universe
Two epic struggles this week. The Odyssey has moved from curious backlash attempts to IMAX powerhouse to critical powerhouse... and Masters of the Universe... is now available streaming. Is The Odyssey worth its borderline insane budget? Is Masters of the Universe worth a watch now that more and...
-
Toy Story 5 & Widow's Bay
This week we're looking at Toy Story 5, which obviously is a tricky beast for us and millions like us, who remember going to the original. It turns out that it is perhaps a bit hit-or-miss, for us anyway, but does it live up to the franchise? We're also looking back at Widow's Bay, now that the...
-
Apex Review
This week we're looking at a couple of things that have been out for a bit, but we really wanted to check in with... but, for opposite reasons. We're covering Apex, a surprising film, but really only in that it has such big names and so little hype led to its release. We're also, almost...
-
Best Movies of the Year - 2025
It's that time again, and now that award season is officially over and you've had your shot at learning which films have the nods, awards, and attention, we'll let you know which ones really stand out. We also babble endlessly about the films that don't quite make our lists, and it was a pretty...
-
Sentimental Value Review
As awards season wraps up and we get ready to dive into our Best List, we've got one we need to cover, Sentimental Value. By the director of The Worst Person in the World (my pick that year for Best Film), and starring the same actress, this is a slow, conversational film, so it might not be...
-
2026 Awards Rundown - Critics Choice & Golden Globes
This week we're running through the nominees and winners in the post-CriticsChoice/Golden Globes Awards season, but really we're just walking through the films that were nominated and waxing poetic on how they stack up. Which films deserved to be nominated? Which are worth your time? Which ones,...
-
Thunderbolts & Misson Impossible: Final Reckoning Reviews
This week we have another republish episode and it's a blockbuster blowout. One door closes and another hopes to keep itself open as Thunderbolts tries to convince MCU fans to keep showing up through a dozen or so more films. But, do either of these movies really deliver? We'll give you our...
-
One Battle After Another & Honey Don't Reviews
We're on to a very strange director double play this week as both Anderson and Coen throw us for a loop. One of these films has delusions of grandeur and the other doesn't really seem to believe in itself enough. You'll have to tune in to see which is which.
-
Highest 2 Lowest & The Thursday Murder Club Reviews
It's another streaming week as we see big and... well, medium anyway, releases hitting on streaming more and more. Spike Lee and Denzel Washington aren't names you expect bypass theaters, but that's the world we're in now. Meanwhile, The Thursday Murder Club screams of a streaming release, except...
-
Worst Movies of the Year 2024 - Republish
It's always a good time to look at the worst movies of the year, and if you love lists like we do... well, that's especially true, or something. Due to technical difficulties, we are republishing some episodes... again, so if you've already listened to this episode, listen again! There are some...
-
Nobody 2 & The Pickup Reviews
This week we're looking at Nobody 2, and we have high hopes because we really enjoyed the first one. Is this going to land on the sophomore effort heap, or can a franchise finally keep up the effort? We're also going to check out The Pickup, the Eddie Murphy/Pete Davidson vehicle that screams of...
-
The Phoenician Scheme & Happy Gilmore 2 Reviews
This week we're bouncing things around to bring you a couple of films now (or only) on streaming services. Happy Gilmore 2 might not have been a movie anyone asked for, and there was certainly no sort of need for it at all, but you might find some laughs. The Phoenician Scheme is yet another…
more -
The Fantastic Four: First Steps & The Amateur Reviews
It's finally The Fantastic Four: First Steps and a big push of hope for Marvel, as strange as that may sound. There are several movies coming up that are going to see Marvel mashing together all their heroes into a super Avengers sandwich and the reintroduction of The Fantastic Four is a big test...
-
Superman Review
This week it's the summer film everyone has been waiting for, Superman. It's a bit of a gamble, and a real test for Gunn and DC, but if nothing else, it's got people talking. We'll let you know all the details, but I will spoil things a bit.... because it's not very positive.
-
The Gorge & Conclave Reviews - Republish
This week, as we return to republishing once again, turned out to be quite the surprise, as we look at two movies that could not have less in common. The Gorge, with high-powered stars and a furiously wonky plot, pulled us in to a surprising degree. Perhaps more surprisingly, Conclave, which I...
-
The Life of Chuck & The Accountant 2 Reviews
This week is a special episode... sort of, being that we are Bangor, ME residents, and while we didn't love The Life of Chuck, it's a fascinating collaboration-ish with Mike Flanagan taking on a King story. We also take a look at The Accountant 2, the sequel to a film we both rather enjoyed, but…
more -
The Brutalist & More Republish Episode
This week we're catching up more with some republish episodes, and here we're looking at The Brutalist and a couple of others as we were trying to wind up the year.
-
Best Movies of 2024 Plus Mickey 17
This week we're finally nailing down our Best of the Year lists, and despite the fact that we say every year is crazy, this one is really nuts when it comes to our lists... at least if you compare them to a lot of other critics. So much money was dumped into things that were supposed to launch…
more -
Nosferatu Review
We have a few episodes left in our republishing effort and this week we've got Nosferatu. We kick off taking a shot at Eggers and an interview celebrating the box office success of the film, and then let you in on all the reasons it is mostly underwhelming.
-
Wrapping up 2024, we hit a bunch of movies heading into Best of the Year
It's that time again, we have to get on to our yearly lists, but before we dive in there, we thought we better touch on the movies we haven't covered, because we don't want people thinking we just didn't see the films that pop up on other people's lists... or that got nominated for things... or…
more -
Captain America: Brave New World Review
Awards season has wrapped with the Oscars, but before we get to a rundown of noteworthy films we haven't covered next week, and our Best of the Year lists the week after, we have to visit a truly underwhelming Marvel film. Captain America: Brave New World could barely hold our attention, and it...
-
Joker 2, Brothers & My Old Ass Reviews
We continue our insane adventure of republishing/catching up with Joker: Folie a Deux, Brothers, and My Old Ass. It's the strange kick off to the year's film with huge budgets that bombed and a couple of smaller titles that were quite a bit better than expected. The sequel to the massive hit…
more -
The Instigators & Jackpot!
We're continuing our insane republish/catch-up extravaganza with The Instigators & Jackpot!...two movies that, depending on which of us you side with, maybe are at best unnecessary. We also run through some TV this week, because... at the time... there was a lot we wanted to champion and weren't...
-
Deadpool & Wolverine Review
We continue our catch up/republish adventures with Deadpool & Wolverine, as wild and screwy a movie as 2024 could manage. We also take a helluva shot at the Olympics and the insanity of events.
-
Inside Out 2, If, & Axel F Reviews
As we continue with our catch up/republish episodes, we get to Inside Out 2, one of the best of the year, and the impossible to search IF (Imaginary Friends), and finally Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. It made for a strange episode, because Inside Out 2 was almost indescribably good, but somehow…
more -
Furiosa & Hitman Reviews
As we continue to catch up/republish we look at Furiosa and Hitman this week. Two movies that coud hardly be more different, and both a bit disappointing in their own ways. Furiosa, while serviceable and filled with moments of fun, doesn't live up to the expectations set for it, and Hitman just...
-
The Can't Win Awards 24 & The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
This week (?) we're bringing you our Can't Win Awards (again... sort of), and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Massive apologies to our fans as many of our episodes over the last six months have been up and down, seemed to be up but weren't really, and have had all sorts of other problems....
-
The Fall Guy Review
This week we look at The Fall Guy and if there's one overall theme to looking at this one, it's that we were both surprised that it worked out pretty well, despite some goofy moments, AND we were just as much surprised by the extent to which this bears no resemblance to the original show... at…
more -
Roadhouse & Ricky Stanicky Reviews
Two movies that... serve a purpose perhaps, but don't offer much. "Roadhouse" and "Ricky Stanicky" both had more potential, and both can't get out of their own way. Remember, you can also catch the video version of our podcast now on YouTube.
-
Worst Movies of the Year + Damsel & Spaceman Reviews
It's that time again, and as much as it is perhaps unnecessary to rewarn people of the worst movies last year, it's now in a list! Thankfully, we don't need to overly revisit bad movies, which means we can also bring you a couple of recent Netflix releases, Damsel and Spaceman. We'll let you know...
-
Dune Part 2 Review
The second part of the Dune extravaganza actually managed to surprise, though it had some flaws and a strange ending. As much as we liked the first installment, there was a lot that could go wrong. Tune in and find out what we thought about the massive undertaking, why it worked, and why it...
-
The Best of the Year Lists!
This week we are taking on the Best of the Year, but it's also our first episode that we are also doing on video. Things might sound a little strange here and there, and that'll be why. Also, this one got away from us a bit on length, mostly because we had a lot of Honorable Mentions. It was a…
more -
The Mad Dash Episode - Reviews To Round Out The Year
This week we actually just cranked through a lot of films to end the year before next week when we dare to offer you our Best of the Year list. We hit too many to go over, including such winners as Past Lives and Dream Scenario, and ended up with some of our biggest differences ever, which was...
-
Oppenheimer, May December, American Fiction & More
As we run headlong toward our Best of the Year list, and the Can't Win Awards, we're trying like hell to get through as many films as possible... and it only works so well. This week we finally get to Oppenheimer, which hit us pretty much as we expected... tune into to find out what that means....
-
Killers of the Flower Moon Review - Plus Award Drama & TV "Special Note"
This week we finally look at Killers of the Flower Moon as we head into our wrap up of as many movies we didn't get to as possible before our Best of the Year list and our "Can't Win" Awards. Killers didn't really impress us, as is perhaps the case with several of the biggest titles this year…
more -
Critics Choice Awards Winners Plus The Holdovers & Saltburn
The Critics Choice Awards happened and it was a great show once again. This week we look over the winners and let you know how we feel about them (and sometimes what I actually voted for), and we review (though rather quickly) The Holdovers and Saltburn. The Holdovers got Paul Giamatti the win…
more -
Critics’ Choice Awards Noms & Leave the World Behind Review
You may be expecting our usual, end of year shotgun blast of reviews where we try to hit as many movies as possible each episode, but because this year threw off our ability to get a couple of episodes out - even as we prepare to add video to the mix - we've decided to run through some of the…
more -
Poor Things Review
In a wildly rare move... sort of, we are only covering one film this week, Poor Things. As usual for the pre-award rush, we've been hyping the fact that we would need to share several movies per episode, but this week... accidentally, we are laser-focused on Yorgos Lanthimos' latest, and this…
more -
The Marvels & The Killer Reviews
This week we are really gearing up for awards season, which seems crazy. Before we get too close to four or five films a week territory, we have a couple of big titles to tackle, and neither of them impressed us much. The Marvels is getting a wild world of pro and con commentary, but where does…
more -
Five Nights at Freddy’s Review And More
This week we are taking a look at what turns out to be a truly special movie, Five Nights at Freddy's, at least in terms of messing with our ratings. We're also covering a couple of other films, including Totally Killer. As much as it may seem absolutely crazy, because we are very serious film...
-
A Haunting in Venice Review
We're avoiding a lot of Halloween this week, but there's still "Haunting" in the title. While horror, or at least horror-ish, titles are moving around the box office rankings, we're looking at A Haunting in Venice, the third effort of a semi-vanity project.... just like in our last show. Is this...
-
Equalizer 3 Review and more
This week, as we move from stellar box office, to the curious case of a winning holiday weekend... to the box office black hole, we're looking at the third installment in the increasingly curious Equalizer franchise. This one is a vanity project that won't die, and while the first one was... fair...
-
Barbie Review
The shocking blockbuster that is Barbie has taken the year's box office by storm, and it is at the center of intense debate and... unusual awards talk. So where does the film land when not merely analyzing the feminist debate within, and how does the film showcase Margot Robbie, Greta Gerwig, and...
-
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Review Part One Review
The Impossible team is at it again, sort of, and this time they find themselves up against a whole new kind of enemy. The cultural boogeyman of the decade is AI and there's no reason our Impossible heroes shouldn't jump on the bandwagon. It's no secret that Cruise uses the franchise to... work…
more -
Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny Review and More
After a bit of a break we are running full steam into massive, tentpole season, although many of them don't seem to be doing quite as well as we might hope. There was a time that Indiana Jones might have made twice as many movies and the all would have killed, but we aren't exactly in those…
more -
Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse Review
As we start to hit the big-money releases, we're going to look at the new, animated Spider-Man effort. The first one smashed into the cultural awareness in a way we haven't seen in a while, and there are high hopes for this one, but will it live up to the fascination? With the potential to become...
-
Sisu Review & More
As we approach some really big titles hitting theaters, we're taking on Sisu and looking at some other titles that may easily get overlooked. The box office ahead looks to be dominated by a few titles, but the numbers aren't quite reaching expectations and we're going to continue to try to…
more -
Fast X Review
As we move into the summer, and some truly big releases, Fast X hits the scene and the potential puns abound. Is this one the charm? Do the high revving thrills and surefire excitement have surprises in store? Is this worth watching at all? Even if you haven't seen any of the others? We will…
more -
Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3
It's time for more Marvel adventure, but Guardians of the Galaxy isn't quite the same beast after two previous movies and appearances in several other features. This one may focus on a character, giving us our villain, but it seems not to focus on anything. We'll let you know if you need to get...
