Rookie Movie Reviews

Returning in full force with a sequel to a movie neither of us have ever seen.

The newest entry into the conjuring-verse was.... ok! Not bad. Not great. I dunno. What did you expect?

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. Listen to us chat about Saving Private Ryan in a TAKE 2 fashion. Because even though we've been doing this for a year we still make mistakes. Everybody has those days.

A lot of the movies left on the list are long or challenging in some way, but we're not sure if it will top The Pianist

HBO Max let us get a small screen experience of this new Monster MASH. For better or worse we gave it a watch, now listen to our thoughts

Trying to make sense of a 54 minute morality tale from the 20's is weird. The movie is weird.

We watched the first 3 Star Wars! Hear our HOT TAKES.

Christopher Nolan's follow up to the classic 'Dark Knight'. I guess you could argue this one is more ambitious, but the bigger they are the harder they fall. This movie uh.... sucks!

Jenny and Dan take on the intense South Korean thriller, Oldboy! As entertaining as it is stomach churning. Let us know your thoughts!

This movie is super sad, listen to us being awkward and not doing it justice .

Amelie? That's a french ass name! Lil' croissant! Little cheese on my croissant!

In this episode we are covering Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2. It is another nostalgia trip of an episode as we shoot the breeze about some childhood classics

Remember the hype around this movie when trailers came out? Here's our take on controversial flick from 2019 that ended up not being controversial at all! Todd Philip's (The Hangover) supervillain movie! How'd this get put in the top 100? What is with people?

Diving in to Charlie Chaplin's catalogue with Modern Times! The tramp is runnin around New York? Or Chicago? With wrenches and a can do attitude/

We chat about Toy Story! It's a good time. This is a quick one, not too much tosay

Jenny and Dan burn through the 3 Lord of the Rings movies. Theatrical cuts, get off our back!

Sorry for skipping last week. We got a kitten! And so we took a little break to play with him. This week we talk about the matrix and drink a bottle of wine! Wow!

Just in time to have missed spooky season, we watched all seven(!) Conjuring Universe films. From crying ghost women to demon conduit dolls, listen to our gab sesh on the Conjuring movies!

Oh come on, you've seen it

David Fincher directed this supremely dark and edgy detective thriller in 1995. One year off the best year ever.

The final Tarantino entry on this list! Django is a tribute to spaghetti westerns and that energy seems to flow all the way through. It was fun to give it a watch, hear more details inside!

Wow what a flick! A Nazi Romp. A roll in the burning hay. Seriously good move and we chit chat about what's up.

Tarantino's sophomore effort. Pretty sure everyone and their mother has seen this m0ovie twice

Dan and Jenny discuss this Miyazaki classic. Chihiro and her parents are trapped in the spirit world. Can this young girl do what it takes to save them all?

I think we've referenced this movie as a gold standard of characterization and the other day we were sitting there and realized it never found it's way from my hard drive to the internet.So here's The Lives of Others! It's early, and we are still sorting out the swing of things, but we hope you like it!

Talking about the classic caper, The Usual Suspects! Spoilers abound, beware!

Capping off Hitchcock's presence on the list with Vertigo, a story about a guy whose got acrophobia, see?! He's afraid of heights, see?!

3 of 4 Hitchcock classics down. This one follows the thriller adventure of Roger Thornhill as he tries to prove his innocence. Listen to us gab about it!

Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic PSYCHO. Find out what this nerdy couple has to say about it.

Hitchcock's tight thriller, an hour and a half bottle episode. It's a super intriguing mystery propped up by a total asshole guy.

We talk about this absolute masterpiece from 1991

6 Kubrick's down, let's talk about our likes, dislikes, themes, universally good stuff and universally bad stuff!

We are back on track this week with our Kubrick marathon. This week we watched 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was weird!

We're taking a Kubrick break to focus on lighthearted things in a dark world. Consider donating to a local POC organization & stay safe. We're chatting about Disney movies this week

There is also a hell of a subtitle on there of course, but we could not fit it on the title sheet. Sorry about the sound of wind coming in so often, we had a fan running. Some fun background here is that I'm pretty sure we finished this one so quickly because we had the AC off and it was a race against time.

We review this Stanley Kubrick classic. Staring Kirk Duglas as Colonel Dax. In this perilous tale in what it means to be a soldier and more than that, man. In this episode you can hear us talk about our cat (wow!)

Starting the first of SIX Kubrick movies. It was fun diving in to such a well known movie, one that is directed by a widely agreed upon 'master director'. Listen to our takes here!

In this episode we talk about that classic 80's hit Back to the Future.

Taking a look at the classic directed by Frank Darabont. Putting a trigger warning at the start here for sexual assault, it's a heavy movie with dark themes.That being said, it's near the top of the list as far as IMDB ratings go, let's break it down!

We review the Avengers:Endgame movie. We may also get in a fight?? Who knows!

A long movie gets a fittingly long episode talking about it! The culmination of the MCU begins here where the stakes get higher and we get hyper.

Have you seen inception yet? Have you seen it 8 times? Come with us to feel like you have seen it 9 times on this podcast adventure

Listen to the uncut Raiders of the Lost Ark streak of takes. High adventure and rootin' tootin' sexism in both of our first exposures to the adventure classic.
