What is likely the final installment with Harrison Ford, this is a very good movie. The first 25 minutes being an old school Jones movie was excellent. Everything it needed to be.
This film shouldn't be as good as it is. When a demonic car starts killing people in a small town people think it's just some killer. That isn't the case an no one knows why.
Ever feel like you're being watched? Someone is following you? The entire town hates you? Well, that's the main storyline of this film. Oh yeah, and ghost sex.
We didn't expect to have as much fun with this as we did. Underwater adventures, Atlantis esque utopia, ageless citizens and a flying lion griffin thing.
A low budget horror film that feels like it pivots right from the get go. It's not all bad but certainly not all good.
We needed to find out what all the fuss was about. We're a little late but don't worry. We dig James Wan but this isn't the comedic horror masterpiece it's made out to be.
James Cameron has some crazy spell on moviegoers. They know the first film was mediocre and they knew this was the same. Still made 2 billion dollars. It is pretty though.
Steven Spielberg's biopic about his life growing up in NJ, Arizona and California that set the path for cinemas most famous and revered film maker.
Ship of Fools meets Lord of the Flies in Ruben Ostlund's Oscar-nominated film about the true love shared between a young male model and his diminutive toilet maid. This episode is dedicated to Vera.

In this year's Oscar-nominated biopic, Baz Lurham is Strictly Elvis all the way, with Austin Butler taking care of business as the King. Joey and Scott - self-identified Beatles people - discuss.
Todd Field steps out of the Bedroom and into the arena of power-struggles and public opinion. Joey and Scott mull over the sociopolitical implications of groomers performing accordion solos to artificially depress real-estate values.
Martin McDonagh's Oscar-nominated existential black comedy about destructive relationships and improper use of sheep shears. Joey and Scott discuss the film's impact on Ireland Tourism.
Spoiler Alert! Joey and Scott both loved this Oscar-nomination-sweeping film - Scott cried A LOT - and spend the entirety of this episode gushing over the awesomeness every single aspect of the film.
Tune as Scott expresses his frustration to Joey at not being able to trash what turned out to be a well-made and thoroughly entertaining unworthy Best Picture Oscar-nominee. Better than the original. Fight me.
We go critical all over this adaptation of the iconic anti-war novel, with Scott focusing on Edward Berger's alterations to the source material, and Joey focusing on how beautiful the war looks. (Scott wrote this).
Scott and Joey talk about all of this years 10 best picture nominees and all of the other categories as well.
This year's crop of January films aren't as bad looking as we're used to. Listen in as we watch, get banned from YouTube and talk about this years flicks.
A punk rock band fronted by Pat (Anton Yelchin) witness a murder after a performace in what turns out to be run and attended by all nazis/white supremacists.
For a film that had such a low budget, actual care was taken in all the writting, acting and pacing. Well made and fun.
When a woman gets a house on airbnb and there's already someone living there, things a bit interesting but not in the way you think. A must watch.
We review Jeepers Creepers Reborn but explore and talk about the enire franchise as a whole.
There's a lot of complaints about the new Halloween Ends film. We don't know why. We weren't confused by the title.
Rob Zombie is very hit or miss in his films. This is no exception. What'd you'd expect is a film as close to the 60's show but what you get is too much Zombie flair.
Only so often does a reboot or remake rival and or is better than the original. This is one of those cases. A must watch.
Can Nic Cage do no wrong these days? Whether you like his films or not one usually takes away something special from it. This film is no different. It's everything you want from a Nic Cage movie and more.
Taking place in the 70's a group of porn filmmakers rent a guest house in Texas to shoot their movie. Things get weirder the longer they stay including the owners. This is art house horror, it drags on and you wish for more but not in a good way.
This episode we review The Black Phone. Based on the novel by Joe Hill and directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Doctor Strange) about a serial killer dubbed The Grabber who is terrorizing and killing the town's kids. We really liked this one.
We kick off our return from hiatus with reviewing horror movies all October. This episode we review the film Prey. Is this the best Predator film ever made? Check in and find out.
What a frustrating film Licorice Pizza is. I don't remember my teen years being THIS frustrating. While it's a well-made movie, I feel I need to watch it a couple of more times to truly make sure if I like it or not. As of now that a no.
When Director Kenneth Branagh was growing up he lived in Belfast Ireland. This is a movie that close to his heart as it's mostly a biopic about him and his family. Shot in Black and White (while unnecessary) is a beautiful film and very well made.
If you don't think this film will bring you to tears or have an emotional spark then think again, or you might be dead. In CODA (Child Of Deaf Adult) the story is one of hope and hopelessness. A very good film and a recommended watch.
Will Smith might have just won an Oscar for this role of Richard Williams. Not only was he excellent in the film but the movie was very good too. Will he win? We'll find out on Oscar night!
The once thought unfilmable novel of Frank Herbert's Dune has been made, again. This time it was in the hands of the truly magnificent Denis Villeneuve. One of the best films in this years crop for sure.
West Side Story is a remake no one asked for. With that said, it's well made and most of the time well-acted. Still, no one cares.
While watching Don't Look Up you can't help but laugh at so much. In the same instance you have to step back and think to yourself that this film is probably playing more like reality and when that sets in, oh boy, that feeling sucks big time.
One of the films I'm looking forward to most in this list is Nightmare Alley. A remake of the 1947 film and does a damn good job on its own. Does it have a shot at Best Picture? Not really but worth a watch nonetheless.
Is this Jane Campion's year? Some feel so. The Power Of The Dog is a well-crafted slow burning thriller. Also, elements of love, greed and despair. A very good film.
Pretentious and boring and the fact that the opening credits don't start until the 40 minute mark really drives that point home. Does Scott agree? Listen in and find out.
The Oscar nominations are upon us! Listen in as we discuss all the nominees in all the major categories.
January, where movies go to die. We talk about most of the January films this year. One of which is Morbius. This film never came out in January but got moved to April for Covid reasons. Still expect it to be bad though.
This is a very good sequel to a very good reboot. Another film in the camp of you either loved it or hated it. Let's face it, Michael Myers is a monster and monsters do bad things. It's a movie, deal with it.
I watched this with family and while they hated it, I liked it. This isn't a perfect film by any means but there is enough good stuff in this to warrant a watch.
Probably the best horror/thriller of 2020. It's smart and funny and will definitely make you jump. From up and coming director Jim Cummings, you shouldn't miss this one.
While most people will complain about this movie because they have nothing better to do, this a very good well made horror film. They pull a Jaws by not showing you Candyman for a long time but it still works.
This is a great under appreciated horror/thriller. I for one can't wait until there more sequels to this one. This is in the category of you either loved it or hated it. I'm Ok with telling people they're wrong.
We've jumped out of the 70's and are reviewing newer films like this one. We discuss how we've seen this film 25 years ago and how this rendition is quite bad. There's no reason for this film.
A fun little murder mystery with an all-star cast. Predictable in spots but lots of fun. Peter Sellers (nor anyone else) could get away with his character in this film today.
We're still in the 70's and this week is Tobe Hooper's Eaten Alive. I mention it again during this episode and here now. THERE IS NO WAY TOBE HOOPER DIRECTED POLTERGEIST. Oh and a puke story at the 57 minute.
We went big for 1976 in the remake of King Kong. This film is mediocre at best and the performances as well. Charles Grodin is excellent as the corporate sleeze though.
The critically popular The Omen is this week's we review. While we both agree that the cinematography is excellent, many other aspects of the film are a bit to be desired. Is it bad? No not really. We respect the film and what it took to make it.
