55 - 28 Years Later
It's been quite a few years since we last heard from the diseased, dilapidated, and uncivilized ruins of Great Britain. It's also been a long time since a 28 Days Later sequel! (See what I did there? MURICA.) Anyway it's pretty good and we have some thoughts on specific parts of it that you might...
-
54 - How to Train Your Dragon
It's a remake no one really asked for, but Dreamworks has done what Disney can't - make a live action adaptation that people don't hate! It's a miracle! Or at least it's a movie. You get it. Spoiler Free - 1:29 Spoilers - 19:09 Andy's Special Corner - 35:14 News - 57:31

-
47 - The Accountant 2
Ben Affleck and Jon Berthal play brothers in this comedic follow up to 2016's "The Accountant", which was strictly a drama. Not that this a full on comedy, but it's much more of a buddy cop sort of movie. Does it work? Does it not? Does Garrett use the bleep button? Answers to all of these...

-
42 - Captain America: Brave New World
Sam Wilson steps up from Falcon to Captain America, and now he's got his own movie and everything. But is this just another dumb marvel movie, or some sort of smart criticism of power and the corruption of those who wield it? Or maybe a DUMB criticism that's as tone deaf as it is boring? WHO CAN...

The sequel no one asked for to a movie that went under the radar, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera takes the Los Angeles Sheriff "Nick" to Europe for a new heist, new friends, and new enemies. It's a wild ride, but is it good? Andy and Garrett sort out the wheat from the chaff, or something. We're movie...
-
36 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Mufasa, and Kraven the Hunter
It's part two of our Christmas Catch Up, this time with two kids films and one that looks like it used a kids logic to write the script. It's a baffling mix of bad but lovable, bad and unlovable, and incompetently fascinating. Catch up on these three movies with us, plus the news! Sonic the...
-
35 - A Complete Unknown, Nosferatu, and Carry-On
It's part one of our Christmas Catch Up! We're looking at THREE MOVIES on this episode, including the Bob Dylan biopic, the remake of Nosferatu, and the Netflix original Carry-On. Which of these three is the best? Which is the worst? Which makes Garrett cringe the hardest? Listen and find out! A...

34 - Moana 2 with Maria Gomez
Moana is back for another adventure, but this time it's... the same, mostly? We're diving into the newest Disney musical with a princess who isn't a princess and a movie that's actually a limited TV series. Not that those distinctions have mattered to the box office. We're also joined by the...

-
32 - Gladiator II
Strength and honor, friends! We're talking about the legacy sequel, Gladiator II - a movie directed by Ridley Scott to make some money since no one cared about Napoleon. It's a historic epic, but with sharks that historians don't like. If you're interested in the Roman Empire, swordplay, the…
more -
31 - Red One
The $250 MILLION Christmas movie from Dwayne Johnson has hit the big screen, and only time will tell if this becomes a new Christmas classic or ends up on the naughty list for language. Budgets ballooned and behind the scenes drama may have damaged this film's opening weekend, but can it pick up...
-
30 - Heretic
Hugh Grant is continuing his streak of playing villainous roles with his role as Mr. Reed in Heretic, a film that asks a lot of questions about religion, belief, and polygamy. It's a wild ride, and we're digging into the themes the movie brings up, as well as some stellar performances from a…
more -
29 - Here
It's Robert Zemeckis' newest attempt to recapture that magic from Forrest Gump, getting Tom Hanks and Robin Wright back for what is essentially an experimental arthouse film that kind of... works? It's a different movie than you might have expected, but it's got some heart! Enjoy the review!...
-
28 - The Best Christmas Pageant Ever ft. Jessica Delia
It's the newest holiday film out there (until Red One, anyway), and it's directed by Dallas Jenkins who made The Chosen. Adapted from a book from the 70s with a simple story, can you pull something meaningful out to a full length film? We're talking about all that stuff and the Christmas spirit…
more -
27 - Venom: The Last Dance
It's the final hurrah for Eddie Brock and Venom (or is it?) in the third film in the Venom trilogy. There's now new enemies, new friends, and new lore that just might fly in the face of everything you've seen before in this franchise. Why care when you're just having dumb fun, anyway? Garrett and...
-
26 - Smile 2 & Texas Chainsaw Massacre

25 - Saturday Night (Yeah, the whole night)
What did it really take to get Saturday Night Live on the air? Well, probably a whole lot more than you think. From director Jason Reitman comes the story of the first Saturday Night (later known as Saturday Night Live) and how a rebellious crew of anarchists ended up starting an institution....
-
24 - Joker: Folie à Deux
It's the sequel that was hyped, and definitely exists, but did it NEED to exist? Garrett and Andy attempt to put together a reason for this movie to exist in the way it does, and discuss the general hate that it's gotten. The ending in particular is QUITE the spicy conversation point. We're…

It's a HUGE week here on the pod, as we cover three movies! First up, it's The Wild Robot, the newest release from Dreamworks, directed by the same guy as How to Train Your Dragon. It's been absolutely loved by the internet, but the question remains: should it be getting the praise it's getting?...
-
22 - Never Let Go and Killer's Game
Halle Berry is back in the horror genre with Never Let Go, a horror film about a family of 3 who are tethered to a house in the woods. They can venture as far as their ropes will let them, but if they let go, "the Evil" will get them. It's a horror film that's reaching further than jump scares…
more -
21 - Speak No Evil
James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, and Scoot Mcnairy (contender for funnies name) star in this 2024 remake of the 2022 Danish film, "Speak No Evil". It's tension, it's discomfort, and it's fear - all mixed with a good amount of social satire and commentary that might leave you feeling a bit puzzled....
-
20 - Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Tim Burton is back with a sequel 36 years in the making, and we're breaking it down. Is it worth the wait? Is it worth the ticket price? Should you see this? We answer all that and more, plus we're digging into some interesting news like the Minecraft trailer and a fun fact about Scientology.…

19 - AfrAId
Blumhouse continues to pump out one horror/thriller film after another, and this time they're setting their sights firmly on the AI revolution. They're not the first, but given where we are in the timeline... They may be the last. Garrett and Andy dive into the film, the realities, and the...
-
18 - The Crow (2024)
The Crow is in theaters... and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Your only hope is to hunker down, not go see it in the theaters, and wait for it to go onto streaming so you can ignore it there. Look, it's no secret The Crow is not good. But the true depth of what it gets wrong is really...
-
17 - Alien: Romulus
7 movies in, is there anything new to do with the Alien premise? Turns out, both yes and no - depends on whom you ask! We're tackling the filmmaking and decisions made by director Fede Alvarez in Alien: Romulus, discussing the art form of film and the things that people are really mad about on…
more -
16 - Borderlands
Video game movies are normally a miss... But every time, there's just the question of "what if it doesn't suck this time, though?" in the minds of fans. Well, I'm sorry to say, this is Borderlands, and it's directed by Eli Roth. You shouldn't have even asked the question. But boy.. It's kind of…

Sorry we're late to the party, but we are finally talking about Deadpool & Wolverine! All the cameos, the humor, and the history of the X-Men Fox universe, plus some info on Trap and Longlegs.
