The year is 2044. You arrive with your family to the largest building you’ve ever seen. Spotlights told you the direction you were headed but told you nothing about what to expect.

Orange neon lights outline a marquee that yells in all caps the names of movies, the smell of popcorn fills your nostrils, and blaring from the arcade on the side of the room is the sound of 8bit music. You have been transported to this decade's greatest attraction - Cinema44!

Comic Books at the Bar
Sometimes you hear or see something out of the ordinary that you need to stop whatever you’re doing and talk to someone about it. A nun killing it at a poker table, the deleted scene from Free Willy where the whale actually landed on that kid, or you see a grown man sitting in a bar, alone…

The Grand Budapest Hotel
In the snow globe of an Argentinian grandmother, inside a house on a mountain, in a room with a door marked, “No girls allowed,” two podcasters shout obscenities into microphones that are, themselves, snow globes belonging to an Argentinian grandmother. Inside those snow globes, two identical...

Knives Out
How long has it been since an original screenplay was written and then put into production? After Knives Out, we’d have to say that it doesn’t happen often enough. This movie was a breath of fresh air in a world full of Comic Book movies and sequels. The original character of Benoit Blanc, as...

Bullet Train

Black Adam
Did you ever have that friend that seemed better than you in every way? Everything they touch turns to gold and everything you do is just, ok. The DC movie universe is the friend that just can’t seem to live up to the success of their more attractive and successful friend, Marvel. Black Adam is…

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Do you want to spend two hours listening to Iron Man call Batman gay? What if this is set in a universe where Batman was actually gay and Iron Man was a petty thief pretending to be an actor, pretending to be a detective? No matter how you answered that question, you’ll agree with one of us as we...
-
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
Considered one of the best Batman movies of all time, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm certainly does warrant another watch. In this episode we discuss some of the things that make the movie such a masterpiece and both of us try to answer the question, “Is it really that good?” We also give a shout…

Moon Knight - Part 2
The Moon Knight series has wrapped up its first season and it’s time for the review. It is fair to say that Billy isn’t usually emotional when it comes to reviews but listen this week to hear him lose his freaking mind. Speaking of losing minds, just how crazy is Mark and are we all just in a...

Peacemaker

Morbius
It’s another superhero movie! Morbius is out and we’ve seen it. We have a conversation about how the movie is trying to stand out from the MCU while still building an extended universe of its own. For some reason, we can’t help but get trapped into a little bit of Spider-Man talk. If you enjoy…

Spider-Man: No Way Home
This week, we discuss the latest in the Spider-Man universe - Spider-Man: No Way Home. We’re pretty sure that the only Spider-Man that we don’t mention here is Spider-Pig from the Simpsons. We talk Holland (not the country), we talk Garfield (not the cat), and we talk Mcguire (not the baseball...

ABOUT THIS SHOW
The year is 2044. You arrive with your family to the largest building you’ve ever seen. Spotlights told you the direction you were headed but told you nothing about what to expect. Now, stepping through the doors, your senses are overwhelmed. Orange neon lights outline a marquee that yells in all caps the names of movies, the smell of popcorn fills your nostrils, and blaring from the arcade on the side of the room is the sound of 8bit music. You have been transported to this decade's greatest attraction - Cinema44!
