What Joey felt was a solid good film in the Alien franchise, Scott did not. For any mistakes it may have, it's better than anything Alien based in a while.

A film that tries too hard to be edgy and cool along with high velocity action scenes. Nearly everything in this movie doesn't work. Dexter and Leonidas can't save this one.

This is our prediction episode. Scott and Joey go over every category and pick their winners. We'll see who wins the following week!

An excellent film that we're happy to see the recognition it deserves. Films like this were able to get nominated because voters didn't buy the Wicked or Avatar hype.

The inevitable Best Picture winner in my opinion. Scott thinks so too. One of Paul Thomas Anderson's best, if not his best film to date.

The only true blue popcorn film on the list. A surprise that it's nominated for Best Picture but after watching you see why. A fun and thrilling film from beginning to end.

Loosely based or more accurately inspired by the real Mary Reisman, Marty Supreme is another excellent film by Josh Safdie. He's capable of getting just about any performance he needs from just about anyone.

The story of William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes after the loss of their son due to the black plague. Another extremely well made movie. I expect Jesse Buckley to walk away with the little golden man.

Deeply depressing and sad film. Tells the story of logger through his life and all the happiness (not much) sadness, trauma and heartache along the way. Scott cried, Joey didn't.

A remake of the 2003 South Korean film Save The Green Planet! Lots to praise here but will it win best picture or any other nominations? Realistically not.

A very well made movie. A little too much hype though. Better films could have been nominated for Best Picture in its spot.

Sinners broke the record of 14 oscar nominations with 16 this year. Joey doesn't feel it's best picture material even though he enjoyed it quite a bit. Scott feels it is. We both agree it's great though.

Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is as beautiful as it is a masterpiece. There isn't much wrong with this film but will it win Best Picture? We don't think so. If Guillermo hadn't won already for Shape Of Water it might have.

We talk about all the Oscar nominated films for 2025. What will win, what will not. Who's right?

Brian Yuzna's 80's horror classic wasn't released in America for nearly 3 years. I can see why people were afraid of this film as it's one of the best body horror movies to come out in that time period. It's not perfect but you should still check it out.

Pretending to be a comic book wrapped in a sci-fi action film in one of the worst renditions around. The action scenes are formulaic and so bad it feels like a workprint. The story is thin and the concept is frustrating.

Directed by Russ Meyer and written by Roger Ebert, a film about making it in the 70's as a rock band and all that goes with it. It's tastes like the 60's so much I was looking for Austin Powers the whole time.

Loosely based on the Stephen King short story is highly inaccurate. Director's cut is a better movie but still only average.

Part 70's exploitation, part vigilante, part female prison, part court drama, part karate but ALL ALLEY CAT! Not a great film by any means but damn does it hit all the "so bad it’s good" vibes.

A Giallo esque style film. Nothing really horrifying from this movie at all. Except, except for the animal cruelty. If that bothers you, stay far away.

When your producer says that you have create control of the film except that it has to involve a castle AND a freak, you do it! Stuart Gordon's Castle Freak is better than you expect.

When a serial killer (JCVD) keeps killing "Bad Mothers" a secret agency decides to create a replica of him to track him down. Surprisingly not the worst JCVD movie out there. Just saying.

When you think Exploitation, you think films like this. Terrible acting, terribly filmed and quite honestly a plot that doesn't try too hard and it shows. Needless to say, you still kinda dig it.

While a very low budget film, it has its moments and delivers on exactly what it is. What can be considered a character study, it's not always enjoyable but that's not really the point.

Troma only distributed this film when it came out. Do yourself a favor and watch the uncut version that's now on DVD and Bluray. Not amazing but better than you're expecting.

While not up to the standard of many horror slasher films from the 80s, it does have a couple of good kills. Not a must see but probably not the worst Friday night you'll ever have.

A little unknown Dark Comedy gem released during the dog days of Summer in 1992. If you've never seen it, check it out. It's even produced by Mel Brooks.

While many sequels and a reboot has spawned, the best film is still the first one. Scott and Joey review this 90's classic.

Doomed from the beginning, Dr Moreau is exactly what you don't want to get out of hand on set. From hard to work with actors and even mother nature.

The last film made by Cannon and man, does it sure feel like it. Movie studios don't fail Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris fails movie studios.

Back in 1994, they tried to make a Fantastic Four movie. This is the product of that. It was never released, for good reason.

A remake of the 1945 film Dead Of Night. Told in anthology style. Mediocre at best. Much better horror movies in the 80s.

There really is nowhere to begin with this. How bad it truly is, on every level. Does it even fill that bad movie void?

While Scott picked the right film to win Best Picture, Joey ran away with the win for the most correct answers! We also spin the wheel for a new film to review!

Scott and Joey go over all the nominations and make their prediction ahead of the 2025 Academy Awards! Who will win? Who gets bragging rights?

A very young Dylan makes it into the Folk scene and quickly becomes famous. He's not able to handle it all too well as it ruins his relationships and nearly his music career. Well made.

When Laszlo (Brody) comes to America alone to restart his life, nothing is easy. You see why he turns to alcohol and drugs. Why he's talented but throwing it away. No one ever seems to be what they say they are.

Surprisingly well made and gripping film. The score alone should win an Oscar as it keeps this movie moving. While the film is good, with the score it's a much better movie.

Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Nickel Boys tells the story of two boys growing up in a reform school in Florida.

Another film that starts one way and pivots into something else. It's works so well that we thought we'd go in hating this film and came out enjoying it quite a bit.

Another musical in this year's Oscar list. Was Hollywood tricked into nominating this? We think so. So, so BAD.

This could possibly be Joey's favorite film from 2024. It's a huge achievement that it was even nominated for best picture given how the movie starts and how it ends.

What's not to love about this sequel that may actually be better than the first film? Scott's not one for Sci-Fi and even he enjoyed it.

Wicked is reviewed this week. Only part 1 and quite long. Enjoyable? Yes. Are musicals for us? No.

We talk about all the Oscar nominated films for 2024. What will win, what will not. Who's right?

Up this week is the film Beau Is Afraid. It's an odyssey esque style film where reality from fiction isn't always easy to spot. Or is it?

We review Phantasm III because, why not? Actually, we didn't have any reviews from 1994 and this was the least crappy film. Seriously.

If there's one thing you never do, that's give sexy nanny bots naughty parts. Nothing good comes of it, ever.

This week we review the excellent Ari Aster film Hereditary. It does everything right and keeps you glued.

While Scott was disappointed by the film Joey enjoyed it quite a bit. How do the boys square off against eachother about Longlegs? Find Out.
