Send us Fan MailAngelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss Steven Spielberg falling off a cliff. Disclosure Day scored a huge opening weekend — $44 million domestic, $92.8 million worldwide, bigger than E.T., Saving Private Ryan, or The Fabelmans — and then dropped a staggering 62% in weekend two, landing a soft B CinemaScore on a $115 million budget that now needs to claw its way toward $300 million just to break even. Angelo reviews it, then discusses what went wrong.THEN: YouTube wiped out 16 faceless AI channels in a single sweep this year... 35 million subscribers, 4.7 billion lifetime views, and nearly $10 million in annual ad revenue, gone overnight. Is this the most ominous sign yet that low-effort consumption, the background YouTube videos and the filler Spotify tracks, is the first thing AI just quietly takes over? And the gang's real fight: does it even matter if nobody was paying close attention in the first place?ALL THAT PLUS: Widow's Bay, the merits of a Vancouver vacation without air conditioning, a harrowing new documentary on Netflix and much MUCH more!MAKE SURE TO VISIT OUR SPONSOR: Steven Singer Jewelers!The TV Show is a weekly podcast hosted by Jay Black, with regular guests Angelo Cataldi and Rhea Hughes.

O my God, I trust in thee. Let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me. With Steven Spielberg's latest film Disclosure Day hitting theatres this month, we decided to revisit one of his most successful movies of all time and one that we have not discussed in great detail before. 1998's Saving Private Ryan was a hugely influential film that redefined action movies for decades to come, but does it hold up in 2026 or is it FUBAR? Is Spielberg always ahead of the curve with his casting choices? Is this an anti-war movie and is such a thing even possible? Would the Call of Duty video games exist without this movie? Which members of the Film Junk crew would have survived WWII? Earn this and download this week's episode of Film Junk.
Peter and Eden run through a rapid-fire list of pop culture hot takes covering movies, TV, music, books, and games. The Star Wars watch order debate kicks things off (original trilogy only for Peter, release order for Eden), Eden defends Batman & Robin and F-Boy Island as unironically great, both agree the Beatles are played out, and they end on a shared appreciation for Alpha Centauri as the peak of the Civilization franchise.Show NotesWhat Eden's Been IntoK-pop roundup: LE SSERAFIM's new album, aespa's Lemonade LP, and ITZY's Motto EP (featuring solo tracks from each member)Reading: The web novel Long Awaited Feelings (1,900 pages about a woman who time-travels after her death) and rereading How Do We Relationship? (completed 14-volume yuri romance manga — "the best romance comic I've ever read")Games: Finished PowerWash Simulator (excited for the Star Wars DLC), played Loddlenaut (cute 5-hour pixel-art ocean cleanup game), and the Wuthering Waves x Cyberpunk: Edgerunners crossover eventWhat Peter's Been IntoDiablo 4: Finished the Vessel of Hatred campaign as a Warlock ("killing demons by summoning your own demons is a good time")Reading: 82% through Anji Kills a King by Evan Leikam (BookTuber debut from Tor) — enjoying it but struggling with the prickly protagonistMusic: New Khemmis self-titled album (Denver doom metal), Cult of Luna's new single "In the Shadow of Your Shadow" (album out November), and The Ocean's "Light Pollution" from upcoming Solaris — allaying fears after the post-Holocene lineup changeHot Takes — MoviesStar Wars watch order: Peter says 4, 5, 6 + maybe Rogue One, skip everything else. Eden says release order (4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, Rogue One) to preserve cultural/historical contextEden defends Batman & Robin: "It's the second best Batman movie. George Clooney's a bad Batman, he's got nipples on the Batsuit, he's got the Bat credit card — it's great."Eden declares Saving Private Ryan a bad movie to the horror of everyone at the comic book shopBest Pixar: Eden picks Ratatouille (doesn't like most Pixar). Peter picks The IncrediblesCorrect max runtime: 90 minutes (Eden) vs 120 minutes (Peter) — anything longer needs to earn itSequel that's better: Peter says Captain America: Winter Soldier > First Avenger. Eden says Tokyo Drift is the best Fast & Furious movieCitizen Kane: Eden concedes it's the rare masterpiece that actually earns its reputation — a bunch of first-time filmmakers who didn't know the rulesHot Takes — TVShows that stayed too long: The Simpsons (Peter). Nearly every comedy past season 3 (Eden)Best series finale: M*A*S*H's "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" and Babylon 5 (Eden). Brooklyn 99 (Peter)Worst series finale: Battlestar Galactica (new) — "the most incomprehensible finale you'll ever watch" (Eden). Seinfeld (Peter)Reality TV worth defending: F-Boy Island — 24 guys, half are "nice guys" and half are fuckboys, the women pick, and the fuckboys can steal the $100k at the end. Nice guys get a villa; fuckboys get a literal prison camp on the beachAdult animation vs prestige drama: Eden says Bob's Burgers is the only good adult animation show right now. Prestige TV is in a nadir of expensive Game of Thrones clonesHot Takes — MusicNever need to hear again: The entire Beatles discography (both agree)Best decade by genre: 80s for rock/pop, 90s for alt, aughts for indie, right now for K-pop (Eden). 2010s for metal — the genre found its stride again after a grim 90s (Peter)Bands that should have stopped: Dream Theater after Awake (Eden). Opeth's last 15 years are all misses (Eden). Peter agrees on bothGreatest live album: Rush — Exit...Stage Left (Peter). The Bang on a Can recording of Terry Riley's In C (Eden — "the finest version I've ever seen")Albums > playlists: Both firmly team albums. Eden has a 16-hour "K-pop Brain Rot" playlist for shuffling, but that's the exceptionHot Takes — BooksAudiobooks = reading? Leans yes from both, but acknowledges the research is contradictory (small sample sizes, brain scan studies on both sides)E-readers vs physical: Peter goes digital 9 times out of 10 (lighter, portable, side-lit). Eden does physical for comics, e-books for prose (form factor matters less for text, but hates reading comics on a screen)Hot Takes — GamesFavorite game of all time: Mass Effect 2 (Peter — tighter gameplay than ME1, loyalty missions, assembling the crew). Doom (1993) (Eden — infinitely replayable with new WADs every day, nothing feels as fluid)Best console generation: Xbox 360 / PS3 era (both) — Halo 3 LAN parties, Gears of War couch co-op, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Fallout 3/NV, Viva Piñata, and yes, Sneak KingOpen world vs linear: Both prefer a tight 20-hour experience over a 100-hour open worldFranchise that peaked early: Age of Empires II (Peter — nothing since comes close). And Eden's shitpost answer of the day: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is better than every Civilization game that came...
Hello friends! It's been over a year since we did a dedicated mental health episode, so today I'm doing a big catch-up and running through my 7-point plan for being a more mentally secure me. None of this is professional medical advice (I am most definitely not a doctor or therapist — well, actually, I am in therapy, but that's tip #5), so take what's useful and leave what isn't. Terms and conditions apply. Here's my current mental health toolkit: Drink a ton of water — I try to chug a full Yeti thermos before my morning mint hot cocoa, then keep it going throughout the day. I taper off around dinnertime to minimize, uh, nighttime tinkle stops. Science agrees this does good things for your brain. Brick your phone — I've been using a little Bluetooth device called Brick that hooks into your phone's screen time features so you can block distracting apps on demand or on a schedule. I've got a "Brian Needs Sleepy" timer set for 9 p.m. every night — pretty much everything except the clock app goes dark. Outlook, Gmail, all the socials — gone. It's not revolutionary advice, but it turns out doing what people have been telling you to do for years actually works. Get enough sleep — Directly related to the Brick. Phone goes dark at 9 p.m., I yap with Mrs. 7 or we watch a show, and by 10:30 p.m. my peepers are drooping. I feel more refreshed and less anxiety-ridden during the day. Supplements — I'm not here to hawk some magic elixir with 47 mystery ingredients. What I'm currently trying is Nello Supercalm — a powder you mix into water. It's got magnesium glycinate, L-theanine, vitamin D3, and ashwagandha. I thought it was placebo at first, but kept it up for a week and noticed a legit mood/pep boost. Your mileage may vary, but it's doing something for me. Therapy — I've been in therapy since 2019 when my house burned down (link to those episodes here if you want to get thoroughly bummed out). If I could go back, I'd have started way earlier. The biggest benefit for me isn't some parade of uplifting affirmations — it's having a neutral third party with no stake in my life help me see situations from different angles and cut myself some slack. Take care of the TMJ — A few years back I started getting tinnitus bad. ENTs were basically like "yep, try not to think about it" — super helpful, guys. Eventually a jaw specialist found an irregularity on the left side of my jaw and fitted me with a heavy-duty custom mouth guard. That alone made a monumental difference in the ear ringing. But I also picked up a TMJ Pen on a chiropractor's recommendation — it's a 3D-printed vibrating/heated massager specifically designed for jaw muscles. Looks exactly like a vape (fun times at the airport), but it's been worth every penny of its ~$200 price tag. Between the mouth guard and the TMJ Pen, I wake up feeling way less like I survived a Saving Private Ryan scene. Forced fun — After a full work day plus all the dad/house stuff, my go-to is to be a blob on the couch. Nothing wrong with that sometimes. But I've found that the things that actually recharge me — like singing and playing guitar — require a little push to get started. So tip #7 is basically a note to future tired Brian: go downstairs, plug in the guitar, and start playing. You'll be glad you did. Got mental health tips that work for you? I'd genuinely love to hear them — this is the kind of conversation I want to be two-way.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we discuss one of the greatest film directors to ever live: Steven Spielberg! Our B-Sides are 1941, Hook, Amistad, and The Adventures of Tintin. Our guest is dear friend and incredible writer Bilge Ebiri! As of this writing, he just published his piece The Raider of a Lost Art, an oral history about Spielberg in conjunction with the release of his new film Disclosure Day. He's also discussed Spielberg with The Film Stage before! We chat about Spielberg's early start and the difficult production of 1941, his stratospheric ‘80s, the successful failure of Hook, and his underrated Amistad. There's a celebration of Spielberg's improbable millennium run of films, from Saving Private Ryan through Munich. The three of us dig into why Bilge loves Hook so much, he speaks on some additional, unpublished gems from his oral history piece, we appreciate the genius of John Milius, and the impossible camera that injects so much energy into The Adventures of Tintin.
Steven is back with a movie about a horse that goes into war. Imagine World War I but through the eyes of a horse. It actually kind of feels like a Disney movie that way it all comes together. That makes sense considering it was distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures so it kind of lines up. Surprisingly a PG-13 movie of this style kind of works even thought WWI was one of the bloodiest wars of all time.Join us as we unpack a movie that is somehow equal parts Saving Private Ryan and Racing Stripes. One of us suffers in the trenches and the other one complains about the cost of a horse. 30 guineas! What the hell are they?!

Legendary Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg (Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, ET: The Extra Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind) returns to the science fiction genre for the first time in almost twenty years with this mystery thriller focusing on a group of scientists (Josh O'Connor, Oscar-nominee Colman Domingo) who are attempting to find and release classified information from the United States government about the existence of alien life and its presence on our planet. Standing in their way is a shadowy organization lead by Oscar-winner Colin Firth (The King's Speech, Kingsman, A Single Man) and the key towards revealing the truth MIGHT lie with a Kansas City meterologist (Oscar-nominee Emily Blunt) who begins to communicate with others around her in unexpected ways. Will the truth be revealed??

From the unforgettable lightning storm that signals the beginning of the invasion to the first emergence of the towering alien Tripods, Spielberg crafts one of the most intense disaster films ever made. We react to the iconic Tripod horn, the ferry attack, the plane crash sequence, the devastating destruction of humanity, Ray's struggle to protect his children, and the terrifying basement scenes with Tim Robbins' paranoid Harlan Ogilvy. The film stars Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible, Top Gun: Maverick) as Ray Ferrier, Dakota Fanning (Man on Fire, The Equalizer 3) as Rachel Ferrier, Justin Chatwin (Shameless, Dragonball Evolution) as Robbie Ferrier, Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption, Mystic River) as Harlan Ogilvy, and Miranda Otto (The Lord of the Rings, 24) as Mary Ann. Based on H.G. Wells' classic science fiction novel and directed by Steven Spielberg (Jurassic Park, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan), War of the Worlds blends blockbuster spectacle with genuine sci-fi horror, delivering some of the most memorable alien invasion imagery ever put on screen.

Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this highly anticipated movie review and reaction, Greg and Paige face an incredibly emotional, nostalgia-fueled rewatch that explores the absolute beauty of growing up, moving on, and the power of childhood imagination. We dissect the brilliant vocal performances of this legendary stellar main cast, starring Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan) delivering his definitive, deeply moving portrayal of the fiercely loyal Sheriff Woody, Tim Allen (The Santa Clause, Home Improvement) bringing unmatched charisma as the space ranger Buzz Lightyear, and Joan Cusack (School of Rock, In & Out) as the high-energy, empathetic cowgirl Jessie. We also unpack the phenomenal work from Ned Beatty (Deliverance, Network) as the strawberry-scented cult leader Lotso, Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head, Estelle Harris as Mrs. Potato Head, Wallace Shawn (The Princess Bride) as the neurotic dinosaur Rex, John Ratzenberger as Ham, and Michael Keaton (Batman, Birdman) delivering absolute comedy gold as the shallow, fashion-obsessed Ken alongside Joni Benson as Barbie. Our hosts react to every pulse-pounding escape plan, hilarious visual gag, and tear-jerking milestone this film has to offer. We break down the absolute scale of the spectacular Western opening train sequence, the heartbreak of Andy's remaining toys accidentally getting tossed to the curb on garbage day, and their initial jaw-dropping arrival at Sunnyside Daycare. We unpack the sheer terror of the chaotic caterpillar room playtime, the hilarious prison breakout sequence featuring a brainwashed Buzz Lightyear stuck in Spanish mode, and Mr. Potato Head's desperate transformation into Mr. Tortilla Head. From the terrifyingly suspenseful security monkey watching the cameras to the raw, agonizing intensity of the furnace incinerator sequence where the toys choose to hold hands and face the end together, Greg and Paige break down why this specific entry hits like an absolute freight truck of emotion.

This week on Mostly Film, Jonathan and J.P. tackle two of Steven Spielberg's most acclaimed and impactful films: Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan.We explore a pivotal era in Spielberg's career, from the haunting moral responsibility at the heart of Schindler's List to the visceral realism and sacrifice depicted in Saving Private Ryan. Along the way, we discuss Spielberg's evolution as a filmmaker, the partnership with cinematographer Janusz Kamiński, unforgettable performances, iconic scenes, and why these films continue to shape the way audiences engage with World War II on screen.We also compare the two films as companion pieces—one focused on survival and memory, the other on duty and sacrifice—and ask which best represents Spielberg at the height of his powers. Join us for a deep dive into two cinematic landmarks and the lasting questions they leave behind.
Moon is finally back from Europe... barely.After rocking massive Goldfinger shows in England, Moon thought he was headed home with some great vacation stories. Instead, he found himself trapped in a German airport nightmare involving missed connections, endless lines, angry travelers, confused airline employees, and enough frustration to test the patience of a saint. If you've ever been stranded while traveling, you'll feel every second of this story.Of course, this being The Rizzuto Show, we can't simply discuss international travel like normal adults.Before Moon can even finish explaining how he got stuck in Frankfurt, the conversation somehow derails into an in-depth investigation of nose hair trimming technology. Which trimmer works best? Which one is lying to you? Can any of them actually reach the mysterious "front cave" region of your nostrils? Important questions are asked. Very few are answered.Moon also shares stories from London, Paris, the European heat wave, questionable airport experiences, and the realization that saving money on flights sometimes costs your sanity. Along the way, the gang debates the worst possible movies to watch while flying on a German airline, and somehow turns Saving Private Ryan into an accidental international incident.Meanwhile, back in St. Louis, the crew talks about the vandalism at Steve's Hot Dogs and why supporting local businesses matters when they're already battling construction, rising costs, and random acts of destruction. The conversation then drifts into National Hot Dog Day planning because apparently that's how professional broadcasters handle serious topics.And just when you think things couldn't get any weirder...A Maryland Heights Hooters becomes the setting for one of the most bizarre crime stories imaginable. Let's just say one customer took "dining in" a little too literally. The crew breaks down the unbelievable details and wonders how someone ends up making that series of life decisions.Also in this episode:Moon's European vacation recapThe great nose hair trimmer debateGerman airport survival tacticsTravel horror storiesSt. Louis hot dog newsGas price hunting strategiesForest Park getting national recognitionStrange airline movie choicesHooters headlines nobody asked forThe usual daily chaos from Rizz and the gangIf you enjoy sarcastic humor, ridiculous travel disasters, bizarre news stories, and a group of friends getting distracted every five seconds, this episode delivers exactly what you'd expect from your favorite daily comedy show.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day. Whether you're listening at work, in traffic, or while aggressively researching nose hair trimmers, we're glad you're here.The daily comedy show continues with another episode full of travel fails, unexpected detours, weird news, and the kind of conversations that probably shouldn't happen on a morning radio show.Moon got rejected by the Blue Angels. That's right. After years of dreaming about flying with the legendary flight team, filling out paperwork, getting medical forms completed, and generally doing everything he was supposed to do (allegedly), the Navy said, "Nah." The crew spends way too much time trying to figure out who got the spot instead, throwing out names ranging from Cardinals legends to local celebrities and basically anybody who isn't Moon.Then things somehow get even weirder.The gang debates one of the most ridiculous music questions ever created: if you could only listen to one genre for an entire year, would you choose mumble rap, post-9/11 patriotic country, Christian death metal, or AI-generated EDM? The answers reveal way more about everyone's personalities than anyone intended, and somehow Christian death metal becomes the surprise hero of the conversation.In Crap On Celebrities, the celebrity chaos is firing on all cylinders. Diddy drama takes another bizarre turn, Sabrina Carpenter gets a restraining order against an alleged stalker who apparently thought hiding in a Prius was a good plan, Taylor Swift fans once again convince themselves they're decoding secret messages from the universe, and The Black Crowes find themselves at the center of a USA chant controversy.The crew also dives into the latest music news, including Mick Jagger somehow still having more energy than people half his age, a Gene Wilder biopic that already has everyone fan-casting, and the ongoing debate about whether Val Kilmer was a misunderstood genius or simply impossible to work with.Then comes the emotional destruction.A list of the most heartbreaking animal moments in movie history sends everyone spiraling. From Artax sinking into the Swamp of Sadness in The NeverEnding Story, to Mufasa's death in The Lion King, to Homeward Bound, Fox and the Hound, I Am Legend, and more childhood trauma than any morning radio show should legally be allowed to revisit before noon. If you've ever cried because of a fictional animal, prepare to relive every painful second.It's another completely normal day with The Rizzuto Show, which means absolutely nothing is normal.The gang welcomes Ashley Vogt and NHL veteran Jamie Rivers into the studio to celebrate two massive life events: a surprise Nashville engagement and the launch of Synergy Integrated Healthcare. But before anyone can get sentimental, the show immediately derails into a debate about throwing apple cores out of moving vehicles and whether that technically makes you a criminal. Spoiler alert: Missouri law apparently has thoughts.Meanwhile, Moon relives the heartbreak of being passed over for a coveted Blue Angels flight after thinking he was officially cleared for takeoff. The crew spends an alarming amount of time trying to figure out who could possibly be worthy of stealing his seat. Steve Ewing? John Goodman? Wayne Gretzky? Andy Cohen? The investigation continues.As if that wasn't enough, the crew checks in on the internet-famous guy attempting to live in a room for an entire year while livestreaming the experience. He's lost weight, picked up hobbies, and somehow still has fewer viewers than some houseplants on social media. The discussion quickly turns into a philosophical debate about personal sacrifice, family life, and whether staying locked in a room sounds like punishment or a vacation.Then comes Alpha-Gal Syndrome, the tick-borne condition that could potentially rob meat lovers of everything they hold dear.

Moon is finally back from Europe... barely.After rocking massive Goldfinger shows in England, Moon thought he was headed home with some great vacation stories. Instead, he found himself trapped in a German airport nightmare involving missed connections, endless lines, angry travelers, confused airline employees, and enough frustration to test the patience of a saint. If you've ever been stranded while traveling, you'll feel every second of this story.Of course, this being The Rizzuto Show, we can't simply discuss international travel like normal adults.Before Moon can even finish explaining how he got stuck in Frankfurt, the conversation somehow derails into an in-depth investigation of nose hair trimming technology. Which trimmer works best? Which one is lying to you? Can any of them actually reach the mysterious "front cave" region of your nostrils? Important questions are asked. Very few are answered.Moon also shares stories from London, Paris, the European heat wave, questionable airport experiences, and the realization that saving money on flights sometimes costs your sanity. Along the way, the gang debates the worst possible movies to watch while flying on a German airline, and somehow turns Saving Private Ryan into an accidental international incident.Meanwhile, back in St. Louis, the crew talks about the vandalism at Steve's Hot Dogs and why supporting local businesses matters when they're already battling construction, rising costs, and random acts of destruction. The conversation then drifts into National Hot Dog Day planning because apparently that's how professional broadcasters handle serious topics.And just when you think things couldn't get any weirder...A Maryland Heights Hooters becomes the setting for one of the most bizarre crime stories imaginable. Let's just say one customer took "dining in" a little too literally. The crew breaks down the unbelievable details and wonders how someone ends up making that series of life decisions.Also in this episode:Moon's European vacation recapThe great nose hair trimmer debateGerman airport survival tacticsTravel horror storiesSt. Louis hot dog newsGas price hunting strategiesForest Park getting national recognitionStrange airline movie choicesHooters headlines nobody asked forThe usual daily chaos from Rizz and the gangIf you enjoy sarcastic humor, ridiculous travel disasters, bizarre news stories, and a group of friends getting distracted every five seconds, this episode delivers exactly what you'd expect from your favorite daily comedy show.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day. Whether you're listening at work, in traffic, or while aggressively researching nose hair trimmers, we're glad you're here.The daily comedy show continues with another episode full of travel fails, unexpected detours, weird news, and the kind of conversations that probably shouldn't happen on a morning radio show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
This week we leap to 2000 sports drama Remember the Titans. We leapt here with (according to Scott) "one of the finest performances in Saving Private Ryan, playing the partially deaf paratrooper - Ryan Hurst." We hope you enjoy this episode.
Chris Paul and Burning Bright tackle David Ayer's 2014 World War II film Fury, starring Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Jon Bernthal, and Michael Pena. Burning Bright picked it as a Memorial Day rewatch and argues it is one of the most underrated war films of the modern era, deserving way more credit than Saving Private Ryan style lionization tends to allow. The guys dig into the five very different spiritual approaches of the tank crew, the dehumanization of war daddy, bible, gordo, kunas, and the painfully innocent Norman, and why the infamous early execution scene is not the glorification it gets accused of being. They unpack the central biblical passage from First John chapter two, do not love the world or anything in the world, as the real moral spine of the film and the heart of all discernment. From there they go big picture, hitting Jevons paradox and how better military tech just means more efficient mass sacrifice, why World War II had the cleanest cartoon story of any modern war, the controlled opposition Nazi op being run on MAGA right now, narrative shielding through Donald Trump's hyper Zionist posture, and the fiery tank as a birth canal delivering Norman into a second chance.
We're closing out "Gabe 'The Calilobo' Month" and marching straight into the chaos that is Steven Spielberg's 'Saving Private Ryan'. We'll dive into the movie that redefined the modern war epic, break down how it balanced the brutal battlefield realism and human drama, and how it maneuvered one of the most stressful opening sequences ever to be put on film. Come for the impossible mission, the exploding tanks (and people), the painfully accurate military jargon, and stick around for a slew jokes in between the existential crises and that is the journey to find one single soldier.Make a film recommendation for an upcoming episode!Thank you for listening!

What if everything you've done to earn God's love has only kept you from receiving it? Saving Private Ryan is more than a war movie. It's one of the most brutally honest pictures of sacrifice, mission, and grace ever put on film. And Pastor Jim Burgen uses it to answer a question most of us are afraid to ask: what if you're not the hero of your own story? In this message from Flatirons Church's At the Movies series, Jim walks through three things the film exposes about our relationship with God: what it means to live on mission, the real cost of sacrifice, and the difference between grace and constantly trying to earn your worth. If your faith feels shaky, your life has gone sideways, or you're trusting God in hard times this message speaks directly to where you are. Because the redemption story God has for you isn't waiting on your performance. Jesus' teachings make one thing clear: the rescue has already happened. Your only job is to receive it. Scripture: Ephesians 2:8–9, John 3:16
This week we leap to 1998 war film Saving Private Ryan. We leapt here with stunt coordinator and second unit director Simon Crane. Not a major cast or crew member, but Scott doesn't care about that!
Ahead of Memorial Day weekend, Ticket Stubs heads to the front lines with a towering double feature of modern war epics: Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan (1998) and Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line (1998). Though released within months of one another, the two films approach warfare from radically different angles: one through visceral spectacle and brotherhood under fire, the other through meditative existential reflection and the fragile relationship between man and nature. Join us as we examine how these companion pieces helped redefine the modern war film while wrestling with memory, sacrifice, violence, and the impossibility of making sense of the defining conflict of the 20th century. Before storming the beaches and wandering the tall grass, our Blue Plate Special returns with a fresh batch of cinematic chatter. This time around, we share thoughts on a slate of recent releases, including Maggie Gyllenhaal's long-awaited The Bride!, Lee Cronin's new take on The Mummy, the mysterious romantic drama The Drama, the music-fueled fever dream Mother Mary, and the psychological horror thriller Obsession. Whether you're spending Memorial Day revisiting war movie classics or simply looking for a thoughtful cinematic pairing to kick off the summer season, we're glad to have you with us. As always, please like, subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever else you listen! Got thoughts or questions? Email us at huffmanbrothersproductions@gmail.com.
WHAT A NOSTALGIC AND BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE! Toy Story 1 Reaction & Review with Greg Alba and Paige Kimsey! With Toy Story 5 hitting theaters soon and Pixar completely back in the global spotlight with Toy Story 5 Toys vs Tech, Hoppers Pixar, and the larger Pixar 2026 movies conversation, we're diving back into the Pixar vault for the groundbreaking, historic masterpiece that started it all: Toy Story. Toy Story Full Movie Watch Along: / thereelrejects Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this full movie review and reaction, Greg and Paige take a sentimental trip back to 1995 to re-evaluate the film that revolutionized computer-generated animation forever. We break down the absolute legendary performances of the main voice ensemble, including Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan) as the proud, vintage pull-string cowboy Woody, and Tim Allen (The Santa Clause, Home Improvement) as the delusional, high-tech space ranger Buzz Lightyear. Our hosts react to every iconic, highly quotable gag and groundbreaking sequence that this absolute staple of childhood cinema has to offer. We break down the high-stakes suspense of the bedroom birthday party reconnaissance mission, the hilarious gas station argument that leaves our duo stranded in the real world, and the chaotic survival sequence trapped inside Pizza Planet. We also dive into the terrifying, creative imagery inside Sid's bedroom, the beautifully emotional "I Will Go Sailing No More" existential realization sequence, and the breathless, high-octane rocket-powered moving van chase that brings the entire finale home. From the incredible world-building of a world where toys come alive to the timeless theme song by Randy Newman, this movie leaves us with an absolute treasure trove of nostalgia to unpack. As we continue our ultimate Pixar movie marathon and animation retrospective leading into Toy Story 5, we are looking back at the generational legacy of this cinematic milestone and breaking down exactly why its incredible script, heart, and pacing still clear so many modern animated movies today. #Toy Story Follow Greg Alba / thegregalba / thegregalba Follow Paige Kimseyhttps://www.instagram.com/paige.popco...

SIMON discusses history and....history. There's a new movie coming out SIMON wants to see called 'Lucky Strike' about the Battle of the Bulge. It's hailed as having the same level of realism as 'Saving Private Ryan' did and brings WW2 to the forefront for a new generation. And speaking of history and a new generation, there's a lot of hubbub from an Iowa Democrat Senator over a new bill headed to the Governor's desk that will require Iowa college and university students to learn....*gasp*….American history and American government!
There is a scene in Saving Private Ryan that most men would rather forget. Corporal Upham is crouched at the bottom of a stairwell. He can hear his brother dying above him. He has a weapon. He has ammunition. He has everything he needs. And he does nothing.That scene is not just a war film moment. It is a mirror.This episode is a live talk James gave to over 40 men at St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Grand Rapids, Michigan. James breaks down authority: what God actually gave Adam in the garden, why demons operate like lawyers in a courtroom, and what happens when a father finally exercises his God-given authority over his own son in the middle of a demonic manifestation. He covers knowing your enemy and how demons are smarter than you, more patient than you, and have been studying your weaknesses for years. He digs into order: why a man living in chaos is doing the enemy's work for him without even knowing it. And he lays out the arsenal: the weapons the Church has given you that most men are leaving on the table.
A long time passed between our '80s selection, E.T., and now our '90s selection, Saving Private Ryan, for our Spielberg Through the Decades series, including Spielberg winning Best Director at the Oscars. The film we're reviewing has become THE World War II movie that people think of in the last almost 30 years since it's release, but does it hold up? Next episode, we'll be covering his next film, from 2001 (and of his most beloved films), A.I. Artificial Intelligence!
In this episode, we break down TROPIC THUNDER — the absolutely insane Hollywood satire from Ben Stiller that somehow blends outrageous comedy with a surprisingly smart parody of war movies, method acting, and the movie industry itself. We dive into why this film still feels so bold, how it perfectly roasts Hollywood egos, and why every performance commits so hard to the bit.We analyze the legendary performances from Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, and especially Tom Cruise as Les Grossman one of the funniest surprise characters ever put in a comedy. We break down the behind-the-scenes story of how Tom Cruise actually helped create the Les Grossman character himself, adding the dancing, oversized hands, and intense studio-executive energy to give the movie a stronger antagonist presence.We also reveal some of the craziest production stories from the making of the film, including Jack Black nearly getting seriously injured during the water buffalo scene, the insane detail put into the Vietnam style sets in Hawaii, and how much effort went into even the fake movie trailers at the start of the film.Beyond the comedy, we talk about how Tropic Thunder cleverly parodies iconic war films like APOCALYPSE NOW, RAMBO, and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN while still feeling like a genuinely well-made war movie underneath all the insanity. This movie is ridiculous, controversial, chaotic, and somehow still brilliantly crafted and we break down exactly why it works so well.
We're back with Spielberg Through the Decades with our '80s selection, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial! Instead of us going with the aliens, the aliens come to us this time. This film lives in the hearts of many many audience members, but does it hold up for us who haven't seen it since we were small children? Come back next episode for our '90s selection, a much different film, Saving Private Ryan, followed by our '00s pick, A.I. Artificial Intelligence!
Join Amanda, Geoff, and Ben as we watch Saving Private Ryan. We give some background on the movie, rate it out of 5 stars and discuss what we thought! This week also features our top 4 movies from 1998. Thank you for listening! We'll be back next week to review Rat Race so be sure to watch along with us.

We start our Spielberg Through the Decades series leading up to his new film, Disclosure Day, with his seminal 1977 film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This marks his first foray into alien encounters, but most certainly would not be his last. In fact, next episode for our '80s selection we will discuss E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Following that is our '90s pick, Saving Private Ryan!
Time to remove more frauds from the game.

We dive into how Steven Spielberg creates an unrelenting sense of realism, especially in the opening D-Day sequence, which remains one of the most intense and immersive scenes ever put in a movie.We analyze how the film captures the chaos, fear, and brotherhood of war, while still telling a deeply human story about sacrifice, duty, and the cost of survival. From Tom Hanks' grounded performance to the moral weight behind the mission, every moment feels earned and emotionally heavy.We also explore how the film's realism impacted audiences and influenced an entire generation of war movies, setting a new standard for authenticity. This is more than just a war movie, it's an experience that forces you to confront the reality of combat, and we break down exactly why it remains one of the most powerful films ever made.Chapters:00:00 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT1:37 The best WW2 movie ever?8:35 Creating brutal perfection in the opening21:27 Is the ending more brutal?28:25 Why they focus on eyes30:18 Matt Damon ruined Spielbergs plan for this movie38:39 The real battle on set with Tom Sizemore42:04 The surprising budget for this movie43:26 Tom Hanks is the only man to play Cpt.

In this episode of Two Please, we break down what makes a good war movie by looking at four key things: nuance, realism, emotional storytelling, and whether the film ultimately feels anti-war. From Saving Private Ryan and 1917 to Dunkirk, Letters from Iwo Jima, Jojo Rabbit, and Oppenheimer, we talk about the films that get it right, the ones that fall into propaganda, and why the best war movies stay with you long after the spectacle ends.CHAPTERS:00:00 What makes a good war movie?00:23 Why now?01:56 War stories beyond cinema02:57 Propaganda and critical viewing04:30 The 4 tests of a great war movie07:22 Nuance over easy heroes and villains08:18 Flags of Our Fathers vs. Letters from Iwo Jima09:12 Mission Kashmir and moral complexity11:31 Why Nazis are the exception13:39 Vietnam films and the rejection of propaganda16:46 The Green Berets and shifting sentiment17:38 Realism and spectacle in war cinema18:40 Why Saving Private Ryan is still so fresh20:33 Dunkirk as spectacle-first filmmaking22:54 1917 and technical immersion25:54 Human stories inside war27:00 Saving Private Ryan as an emotional mission27:54 Grave of the Fireflies and civilian tragedy39:00 Jojo Rabbit and satire in war stories40:03 Schindler's List and survival41:05 Does the film leave you anti-war?42:42 Great anti-war films44:37 Bad representations and post-9/11 stereotyping55:09 When war movies become caricatures56:13 Final takeaway57:14 Oppenheimer, Hiroshima, and the cost of warDon't forget to LIKE THE VIDEO AND SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST.Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twopleasepod/

Not really biographies of us but there's some glimpses and a chat about 33 military movies from 1970-2024. Crazy that our lists only had 6 crossovers. That said, you know this is a meaty geek chat.

Steven Spielberg delivers one of, if not the greatest, war movie of all time. A movie that probably should have won Best Picture at the Oscars, we talk all about its legacy, its importance, and what makes it stand out as one of the best of its genre. From Omaha Beach to the battle of Ramelle, we share a lot of relatively unknown stories and facts about the movie, as well as what makes it work most, the characters. If you do anything after listening to this podcast, whatever it is, earn this. Thanks for listening to what our Mom's consider to be the greatest nostalgic movie podcast of all time.
