On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz sit-down in Toronto with CRIME 101 Writer and Director Bart Layton to discuss his new crime thriller. Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, the film weaves the tale of an elusive jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads. Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices–and the realisation that there can be no turning back. Crime 101 is now playing in theatres. Watch and listen to The Movie Podcast now on all podcast platforms, YouTube, and TheMoviePodcast.ca.

Zemeckis) Starring: Bob Hoskins (3x People's Sexiest Man Alive), Christopher Lloyd, and Joanna Cassidy. This blend of hand drawn animation, Warner & Disney characters, and work in volumes was a trailblazing piece of filmmaking 30 + years ago, but how does that hold up against the master works of today (Jason X, Morbius), and does it really hold up at all?

Our Hard to Kill 1990 Review kicks off with a simple truth: the late 80s and early 90s were the golden age of action heroes. Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Willis ruled the world… and then along came a man with a ponytail, a whisper voice and an absolute obsession with breaking forearms.This week Whitey, Dan and Will the Worky step back into the dojo to tackle Steven Seagal's second ever film, Hard to Kill (1990). A movie that, at the time, felt like the arrival of the next unstoppable action icon… and now feels like a fever dream involving aikido, silk shirts and extremely uncomfortable sex scenes.Seagal plays Mason Storm, a cop who uncovers political corruption and is immediately shot, along with his wife, in what might be the least secure safe house ever filmed. Storm survives after being pumped full of shotgun pellets and spending seven years in a coma. Yes, seven years. And apparently, all it takes to recover is a massage, a training montage and a nurse who instantly falls in love with him.From there, the movie becomes a revenge story, but also, somehow, a romance, a conspiracy thriller, a martial arts film, and a weird Seagal self-fantasy all rolled into one.The boys dive deep into: • The unbelievable hospital security • The most aggressive love scene ever filmed • Mason Storm's questionable medical recovery • The ponytail era of action cinema • And why nobody recognises the villain's voice despite him repeating the same catchphrase constantly There are discussions about video store culture, the 1990 action boom, and how Seagal briefly convinced the world he belonged alongside the legends.But time has not been kind to Hard to Kill. Watching it today reveals something different. Schwarzenegger knew he was in on the joke. Bruce Willis had charm. Seagal genuinely believes he is the most dangerous man alive… and that may be the biggest reason this film is unintentionally hilarious.Still, there are broken bones, exploding pool cues, corrupt cops and more arm snapping than a chiropractor convention.And honestly… that's why we kind of love talking about it.JOIN THE CONVERSATION Is Seagal the strangest action star of all time? Does Hard to Kill accidentally become a comedy? And is this the most confident bad movie ever made?Leave a review, share the episode and send it to a mate who still thinks Seagal could win a real fight.#BornToWatch #HardToKill #StevenSeagal #90sAction #ActionMovies #MoviePodcast #CultMovies #BadMoviesGoodTimes #VideoStoreEra #FilmReview

In this episode of ClassHorrorCast, we dive deep into Together (2025) - one of the most unsettling relationship horror films of the year.From its visceral practical effects and shocking moments of gore to its suffocating atmosphere and uncomfortable intimacy, we break down the scenes that hit hardest and why they work.This is a full spoiler discussion. But beyond the body horror, Together asks a more disturbing question: what does it really mean to spend your life with someone?At what point does partnership become possession? When does “us” begin to erase “me”? We explore the film's central themes of identity, co-dependence, emotional fusion, and the fear of losing yourself inside a relationship.Is this a love story twisted into horror or was it always horror to begin with?We also dig into behind-the-scenes trivia, the creative choices behind the film's effects, and whether Together ultimately succeeds in what it sets out to do.Join us as we unpack one of 2025's most uncomfortable cinematic experiences.For more content - CLICK HEREBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/class-horror-cast--4295531/support.

Daniel and Shahbaz review Emerald Fennell's “WUTHERING HEIGHTS", loosely inspired by Emily Brontë's 1847 novel. The film is a bold and original imagining of one of the greatest love stories of all time and stars Margot Robbie as Cathy and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, whose forbidden passion for one another turns from romantic to intoxicating in an epic tale of lust, love and madness.

This week, the boys jump aboard the Andrea Gail for The Perfect Storm 2000 Review, the Wolfgang Petersen disaster epic that tried to answer one simple question:What if Mother Nature just decided you were finished?It's a Monday night. You've done your research.You head down past Burleigh, just west of Palm Beach. Three chairs are waiting. Gow's checking stats, Damo's preparing the Snorbs Report, and Whitey's tweaking the levels.Game time.Based on the true story of a sword-fishing crew who sailed directly into a once-in-a-lifetime weather system, the film brings together an all-star cast, George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, John C. Reilly, Diane Lane and a collection of "hey-that-guy!" actors, but the real star might just be the ocean itself.Whitey is deep in his Clooney phase and openly declares him possibly "the most handsome man we've ever reviewed," while Gow and Damo debate whether the movie actually needs characters at all once the waves hit 100 feet. Because this is Born to Watch, the conversation doesn't stay serious for long.We cover:The legendary boat-on-the-wave shotWhy every sea captain is basically Captain AhabThe world's worst job (professional fisherman easily makes the grand final)Mark Wahlberg's historically patchy beardThe glow-stick responsibilities aboard a fishing vesselWhether the crew should've just sailed to Portugal insteadThe boys also dig into the film's strange structure. Half character drama, half disaster movie, half weather documentary, and somehow still compelling once the storm begins. Even critics admitted the storytelling problems stop mattering once the chaos kicks in. There's praise for the James Horner score, debate about the true events versus movie invention, and an unexpected emotional reaction to the funeral scenes. Plus:The 2000 Movie Lottery (Remember the Titans vs Bring It On vs The Cell)Box office success vs critic ratingsThe Snores Report returnsMichael Ironside is officially considered for Born to Watch RoyaltyAnd of course, the most important question of all:If you knew the storm was coming… would you still turn the boat around for the payday?Because sometimes the scariest part of a disaster movie isn't the wave, it's the decision that leads to it.JOIN THE CREWIf you enjoyed the episode, don't just listen, become part of the Born to Watch community. Leave a rating on Spotify or Apple, drop a YouTube comment, and tell us:Did Billy Tyne make the right call… or did he doom the Andrea Gail?#BornToWatch #ThePerfectStorm #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #GeorgeClooney #MarkWahlberg #DisasterMovies #2000sMovies #TrueStoryMovies #MovieNostalgia

Send us a textOn this episode of Movies Worth Seeing, we take on One Battle After Another — and fair warning, this one did not survive the review.We went in open-minded, ready to meet the film where it was… but what we got was a bloated, self-serious experience that mistakes noise for meaning and ambition for depth. Instead of tension, momentum, or emotional payoff, the film delivers repetition, confusion, and a whole lot of wheel-spinning.In this episode, we break down:Why the movie feels exhausting rather than grippingHow “important” themes are hinted at but never exploredThe lack of payoff after all that buildupWhere the storytelling completely loses the audienceAnd why ambition alone doesn't make a movie worth your timeThis isn't a hate-watch for the sake of it — it's an honest conversation about why some films just don't work, no matter how hard they try to look meaningful.
Send us a textThis week on Movies Worth Seeing, we crank the dial back to peak '80s insanity with The Running Man — and honestly, this movie rules.What looks like a dumb, muscle-bound action flick is actually a viciously funny, cynical satire wrapped in neon spandex and one-liners. Game shows, fake news, manufactured villains, and entertainment built on public humiliation — somehow this film feels more relevant now than it did in 1987.We break down:Why this is one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's most underrated rolesHow the movie balances brutal action with sharp social commentaryThe outrageous villains, practical effects, and iconic killsJesse Ventura, Richard Dawson, and a supporting cast having an absolute blastAnd why The Running Man is pure rewatchable fun that still hits todayIt's loud, ridiculous, politically incorrect, and unapologetically entertaining — exactly what great '80s cinema should be.
Send us a textTwo of us walk out emotionally numb from The Running Man remake after a marathon of twists, a muddled motive, and a game with broken rules. We compare it to the 1987 original to show how tone, stakes, and satire were stripped away while talent was wasted.• why changing Ben Richards' motive breaks the story• tone clash between campy 80s satire and modern grit• hunters with no identity versus iconic stalkers• villain split that dilutes menace and focus• worldbuilding that expands scope but kills logic• media manipulation then and now, without the sting• rule changes that patch holes instead of creating tension• wasted performances from a strong cast• why simple, bounded game design creates better stakes• final ratings and what remakes should keepPlease give us a like, share, and subscribe for more reviews like this Support the show

Send us a textThis week on Movies Worth Seeing, we go back to the jungle for one of the most rewatchable action films of all time: Predator.What starts as a macho '80s commando fantasy slowly mutates into a razor-sharp sci-fi survival horror — and that's exactly why Predator still slaps nearly 40 years later. We break down how the film cleverly subverts the invincible action-hero trope, why the ensemble cast is stacked with pure testosterone, and how the Predator itself became one of cinema's most iconic monsters.We also dig into:Why the first half feels like a different movie (on purpose)Arnold Schwarzenegger's quiet evolution from gun-blazing leader to hunted survivorThe brilliance of the creature design, sound design, and jungle settingIconic lines, scenes, and memes that refuse to dieAnd whether Predator is secretly smarter than it ever gets credit forIf you love practical effects, quotable dialogue, and films that reward repeat viewings, this one absolutely earns its place on the list.

On this episode, Matt, Eric and new co-host Andrew Faigal discuss their Top 10 Films of 2025 in a monster sized episode.
Julian, Madeline, and Emilio continue their cycle of Oscar-Worthy Rom-Coms with a Suggestion Box episode focusing on "The Apartment," Billy Wilder's unforgettable multi-Oscar-winning film from 1960. The trio dig into this classic tale of work-related romance by discussing its iconic performances from Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray, the dynamics of the love triangle it portrays, and how the film's transgressive qualities stand the test of time. Anchoring the conversation are a slew of favorable comparisons to other films, new and old, along with appreciations of film's fine-tuned aesthetic details and a tally of a word Wilder and co-writer I.A.L. Diamond clearly relished in, suffix-wise...If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

Boogie Nights 1997 Review: 200 episodes in, and Born to Watch hits a milestone with a film that feels weirdly, uncomfortably autobiographical.From the moment Whitey declares this the perfect way to celebrate the show's 200th episode, it's clear this isn't just another movie review. Boogie Nights is loud, chaotic, hilarious, messy, strangely heartfelt and absolutely stacked with characters who think they're on top of the world until reality comes crashing in. In other words, it's the ideal Born to Watch film.Set against the late-70s and early-80s adult film industry, Paul Thomas Anderson's second feature is a sprawling ensemble piece that follows the rise and fall of Eddie Adams, reborn as Dirk Diggler. Mark Wahlberg's breakout performance anchors the film, but this is never just Dirk's story. It's about a group of outsiders who form a surrogate family, chasing success, validation and meaning, until excess, ego and changing times pull them apart.The boys dig into the idea that Boogie Nights is really two films stitched together, the euphoric disco-soaked rise of the 70s, followed by the darker, cocaine-fuelled collapse of the 80s. It's a tonal shift that mirrors the characters' journeys, from optimism and community to paranoia, loneliness and self-destruction. When Little Bill exits the film, everything changes, and the show explores how that moment symbolises the end of innocence for the entire group.There's plenty of love for the ensemble cast. Burt Reynolds' Jack Horner is discussed as both mentor and flawed father figure, a man clinging to an artistic vision while the industry evolves without him. Julianne Moore's Amber Waves is heartbreaking and layered, especially when the conversation turns to her custody battle and the illusion of freedom within the industry. John C Reilly, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Don Cheadle, Heather Graham and William H Macy all get their flowers, with Hoffman's painfully awkward Scotty and Macy's tragic Little Bill standing out as performances that linger long after the credits roll.As always, the Born to Watch humour cuts through the heavy themes. There's banter, self-reflection, side-tracking, and more than a few laughs at the absurdity of certain scenes, including the legendary Alfred Molina drug-deal sequence, which the team agrees is one of the most anxiety-inducing moments PTA has ever put on screen.The episode also looks at Boogie Nights in context, how it landed in 1997 alongside juggernauts like Titanic and LA Confidential, why it underperformed at the box office, and how it grew into a cult classic that feels even richer with repeat viewings. It's a film you can dip in and out of, catch individual scenes, and still be completely absorbed.Ultimately, this Boogie Nights 1997 Review becomes a celebration, not just of the film, but of the journey Born to Watch has been on for 200 episodes. It's messy, honest, occasionally inappropriate, and full of love for movies that take big swings.And really, what better way to celebrate than strapping on the roller skates and heading back to the Valley?BORN TO WATCH – JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Boogie Nights Paul Thomas Anderson's most rewatchable film?Does the movie completely change once the 80s arrive?Which character hits hardest on a rewatch?Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or at BornToWatch.com.au#BornToWatch #BoogieNights #PTA #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #CultCinema #1990sMovies #MovieReview #PodcastLife #200Episodes
