Is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny worse than Crystal Skull?
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny came and flopped. Gabe hated it, John didn't - so we thought we needed to talk about it even if we were very late to the non-party. The comparisons with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull are to be expected, so we thought we would go into…

John made Gabe watch Elemental (2023)
Continuing with our trend to review movies a few months after they opened, now we'll be talking about Pixar's Elemental (2023). Resisting the urge to criticize a children's film.
-
John Carpenter's They Live (1988) - what else?
Gabe pushed John to watch more John Carpenter. Today: They Live (1988). Let's talk about it!
-
How did Jennifer's Body (2009) become a cult classic?
In 2009, Megan Fox was one of the biggest stars in the world after starring in Transformers (2007) and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009). Amanda Seyfried was also at the top of her game after starring in Mamma Mia! (2008). And, yet, Jennifer's Body flopped in 2009, but has since become a...
-
The Flash was a movie or something + our superhero fatigue
Let's talk about The Flash like 3 months after everyone else (John only watched it this weekend). We haven't reviewed a new movie in a while, it seems. Is there superhero fatigue? If they keep making movies like this one, there definitely will be. Oh, and Batman and Supergirl and a whole of bunch...
-
Remember The Ides of March (2011)?
Today, we're talking about George Clooney's The Ides of March, a fantastic political thriller from 2011. The cast, led by Ryan Gosling, is amazing!
-
"Power Rangers: Once & Always"... dude, I have no idea
We wanted to review something different this week, so Gabe made John watch that weird Power Rangers reunion. Why did we like this as kids?
-
"Man on Fire" (2004) is insanely good
Hard to believe that Denzel Washington and Tony Scott's "Man on Fire" came out 19 years ago. It was (justifiably) trending on Twitter a couple of weeks ago, so we decided to revisit it.
-
Umm... so, about "Street Fighter" (1994)...
We're doing a Van Damme double feature today! "Street Fighter" came out in 1994 and, well, it wasn't good. But is it as bad as they say?
-
We are definitely not split over "Bloodsport" (1988)
Let's review Jean Claude Van Damme's 1988 classic, "Bloodsport". Did it inspire Mortal Kombat? Does it feature Van Damme's best splits? Is Forest Whitaker in it? Let's talk about it.
-
We watched "Enter the Dragon" (1973)!
Well, for some reason, none of us had ever seen Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon". Let's talk about it.
-
"Stargate" (1994) is another fun Roland Emmerich movie
Roland Emmerich directs James Spader and Kurt Russell in this cheesy, incredibly fun sci-fi adventure that just seems like the kind of movie we love to see.
-
Ted Lasso Season 3, Episode 1 "Smells Like Mean Spirit" Review
Let's review the first episode of season 3!
-
Peter Jackson's Braindead/Dead Alive (1992) is gloriously gory
Today, we review one of Peter Jackson's pre-Lord of the Rings films: Brain Dead. The film was released as "Dead Alive" in the U.S., and we're not sure what title we like more, because they're both great and also incredibly accurate.
-
80s horror is rarely as good as "The Fly"
Today, we dive into David Cronenberg's 1986 body horror classic, "The Fly". It was a first watch for both of us, so we can't say we weren't surprised to hear that Jeff Goldblum's voice has been the same for almost 30 years or that Geena Davis was in ANOTHER great movie. Let's talk about it!
-
"Universal Soldier" (1992) is cool as ice
Welcome to our new channel! This week, we'll be reviewing 90's action-packed Jean-Claude Van Damme starrer: Universal Soldier. The great Dolph Lundgren is also in it!
-
We FINALLY got caught up with The Last of Us (Mostly E7 review)
It took Gabe a month to get caught up with The Last of Us, but here we are. Let's review most of the show, but mostly Episode 7: Left Behind. More Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey!
-
The Last of Us Series Premiere Review & Breakdown
This was such a great start for the new series. Let's talk about it!
-
The Menu was Ridiculously Tasty
We loved The Menu, it was so good. Tune in to watch us talk about it.
-
Willow (2022) Episodes 5-8 Review I What was the goal here?
Phew, we're finally done with this. At least, it was great to see Warwick Davis come back.
-
Willow (2022) Episodes 3-4 Review (Disney+ Series)
So, Willow is definitely a show that exists. How can we talk about it without losing our sanity?
-
Violent Night (2022) might just be a new Christmas Classic
We are not afraid to say that we loved Violent Night, so let's talk about it. It's not an 80s movie, but it was more than good enough.
-
Willow (2022) Episodes 1-2 Review (Disney+ Series)
We both love Willow because of its 80s dark fantasy tone, and Disney of course had to use the IP to create something new. Is it worth watching?
-
Is Village of the Damned (1995) underrated?
More John Carpenter cause Gabe won't shut up about him. This one is not one of his best, but it's actually pretty good.
-
We unfortunately had to sit through Black Adam
Sigh... this is why we usually stay in 80s. For some reason, we decided to watch Dwayne Johnson's latest overpriced popcorn film: Black Adam. Whatever, let's just get this done.
-
Halloween Ends, New York Ninja & The Raid: Our Weird Movie Marathon
We met in person last Friday and decided to watch... movies. This was one weird movie marathon, where we jumped around genres, ate tons of snacks, and felt completely differently about each of them. Join us on this weird review/recap.
-
You like Vanilla Sky, but you might like Abre los Ojos (Open your Eyes) better
Do you remember Vanilla Sky (2001)? That film was actually a remake of a 1997 Spanish film called Abre los Ojos (Open your Eyes). Let's review it!
-
Don't Worry Darling is definitely not similar to any other movies
We decided to watch a new movie this time. It's one that most people are talking about more thanks to its behind the scenes drama, so it's kind of fun. Florence Pugh and Chris Pine are both great in it... but everything else, well... is not very good.
-
Watching First Blood (1982) for the first time (at least for one of us)
Gabe had (inexplicably) never seen First Blood (1982), even though he'd seen some of the sequels. Let's talk about this film that holds up better than most.
-
John Carpenter's The Fog is the best of the 70s, but in the 80s
Gabe has been trying to catch up on John Carpenter films, so we watched "The Fog" this week. It's a horror cult classic, so what did we think of it?
-
Days of Thunder came out in 1990 but it's pure 80s AWESOMENESS
Do you like Top Gun? Do you like Randy Quaid? Go no further than Days of Thunder, a film that is inexplicably not talked about as much. Tony Scott directed it, Tom Cruise is in it - let's go!
-
WESTWORLD Season 4 Spoiler Review & Discussion
We loved the fourth season of Westworld. People said it was a return to form, but was the show ever actually bad? Let's talk about it.
-
The Dark Fantasy of Willow (1988)
Today, we'll be talking about Willow, another 80s jewel produced and co-written by George Lucas.
-
Westworld - Season 4, Episodes 1 and 2 "The Auguries", "Well Enough Alone" Review
One of our favorite shows is back for another trippy chapter of AI insanity. It's Westworld time!
-
Let's talk about Stranger Things Season 4, Vol. 2
We're back to talk even more Stranger Things. We thought about reviewing more 80s and 90s movies, but there's just so much on this new season that we just needed to go over it.
-
Is Stranger Things Season 4 (Vol. 1) the best season yet?
We're back! And since it took us so long to come back for Season 3, we decided to change our name to Cynispection - why not, right?
-
Road House (1989) is our favorite kind of 80s film
Today, we'll be talking about Patrick Swayze's 1989 fighting classic: "Road House". Gabe did not think he'd like this one so much.
-
A Sam Raimi Western? Yes, The Quick and the Dead is great
When we talk about Sam Raimi, we're always thinking about films like "Spider-Man", "Evil Dead", and, most recently, "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness". Well, he also made a western back in the 90s, and it's so great. Let's talk about it.
-
John Woo's Hard Boiled is beautifully over the top
We apparently did not get enough of our John Woo fix when we reviewed "Broken Arrow", so we're bringing our friend Lo to discuss one of Woo's earlier movies: "Hard Boiled", starring two greats: Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung.
-
Halo - Season 1, Episode 6 "Solace" Review

We took a week off, but we're catching up.
-
Let's talk about The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Of course we'll talk about "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent", because Nic Cage and because it's sort of fun.
-
Broken Arrow was always great, and it holds up
We're back reviewing movies you probably forgot about, but you really shouldn't. This time around: John Woo's great 1996 action film: "Broken Arrow".
-
Ambulance is the right kind of BAYHEM
We really love 90s Michael Bay on this show, so we're happy to see him back on track.
-
Halo - Season 1, Episode 3 "Emergence" Review
Still watching "Halo", still liking "Halo".
-
Halo - Season 1, Episode 2 "Unbound" Review
The second episode of Halo was pretty great, so let's talk about it.
-
Let's talk about whatever Morbius was
Morbius came out last week and it did pretty well at the box office.... but what the hell is this? Is it even a "movie"?
-
Tomorrowland (2015) Movie Revisited I Does it hold up?
Let's go back to 2015, where a very original and aspirational film called "Tomorrowland" failed to impress at the box office. But we have some thoughts about it.
-
Halo - Season 1, Episode 1 "Contact" Review
A new series based on one of our favorite videogames is out. Let's review the first episode.
-
Does Blade (1998) hold up?
Wesley Snipes. Stephen Dorff. Leather. Techno. "Blade" (1998) is not forgotten. Let's talk about it.
