Ranking the Indiana Jones Franchise
Aside from the Barbenheimer phenomenon, the summer movie season has been a little odd, with many high-profile franchise entertainments underperforming. Included in that was Indiana Jones and the Dial of the Destiny, which hasn't exactly lit the box office on fire. But, it gave Collin and Nick a...

Dead by Dawn: Slicing Through the ’Evil Dead’ Franchise
Few movies have had more of an impact on a genre than The Evil Dead on horror. From unwittingly unleashing a grave evil on the world by reading an unholy text, to the horror happening in an all-too-remote location, the Evil Dead's fingerprints are all over the place. On this episode of the…

Ranking the Rocky Franchise
"If I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!" Words to live by. You'd be hard-pressed to find a film franchise more in-grained in American popular culture than Rocky. From the rugged neo-realism of the original classic, to the America-fuck-yeah hilarity of Rocky IV, all the way...
-
Ranking M. Night Shyamalan’s Filmography
You can accuse M. Night Shyamalan of being many things, but he's certainly never boring. On the heels of his latest film, Knock at the Cabin, coming to theaters, Spencer and Nick decided to come together and rank his ENTIRE filmography. What are their favorites? Is M. Night actually…

The Slap, ’CODA’, and All Things Oscars Night

Sundance 2022 Megapod!

West Side Stories, ‘Red Rocket‘, and ‘The Power of the Dog‘
Remake cynicism begone, Steven Spielberg's retelling of West Side Story is pretty damn good. The titan filmmaker managed to inject some classic Spielberg Magic™ into the musical that we've been missing in film for some time, which often helps the film overcome some of its plot and character…

No One Will Remember 'Reminiscence', Everyone Will Remember 'Annette', and 'Prisoners' Has Very Funny Character Names

-
'Snake Eyes' Is Bland, 'Old' Is Weird, and 'Twilight' Is Twilight

'Army of the Dead', 'Blast Beat', and 'Alice in Wonderland' (1951)

'Spiral' and 'The Woman in the Window' Are Very Bad but at Least 'Dawn of the Dead' (2004) Is Decent
Spiral led a crowded(!) weekend at theaters, but despite Chris Rock's best efforts, the film isn't anywhere close to a good entrant in the Saw franchise. Similarly, Netflix's The Woman in the Window is a big ol' turkey. But at least our lord and savior Zack Snyder is here to save the day. On this...
