Furiosa & Hitman Reviews

As we continue to catch up/republish we look at Furiosa and Hitman this week. Two movies that coud hardly be more different, and both a bit disappointing in their own ways.
Furiosa, while serviceable and filled with moments of fun, doesn't live up to the expectations set for it, and Hitman just couldn't seem to get out of its own way and wouldn't commit to a story.
Give a listen for all the details and be sure to subscribe and share.

The Can't Win Awards 24 & The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

This week (?) we're bringing you our Can't Win Awards (again... sort of), and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
Massive apologies to our fans as many of our episodes over the last six months have been up and down, seemed to be up but weren't really, and have had all sorts of other problems. And, that doesn't even cover some serious delays in publishing.
We'll be catching up rather quickly, so further apologies as we shotgun many episodes from the past few months.

The Fall Guy Review

This week we look at The Fall Guy and if there's one overall theme to looking at this one, it's that we were both surprised that it worked out pretty well, despite some goofy moments, AND we were just as much surprised by the extent to which this bears no resemblance to the original show... at all.
Still, it's mostly a fun, popcorn jaunt with some heart and it surely serves its purpose and hasn't really, in our humble opinion, managed reviews that make a lot of sense, by some anyway.
 
To our fans, some technical and personal difficulties have thrown us for a loop over the summer, and episodes that seemed to be live weren't. Because of this, we'll be pushing out quite a few in fairly rapid succession. Thanks for tuning in, and rest assured we aren't going anywhere.

Roadhouse & Ricky Stanicky Reviews

Two movies that... serve a purpose perhaps, but don't offer much. "Roadhouse" and "Ricky Stanicky" both had more potential, and both can't get out of their own way.
Remember, you can also catch the video version of our podcast now on YouTube.

Worst Movies of the Year + Damsel & Spaceman Reviews

It's that time again, and as much as it is perhaps unnecessary to rewarn people of the worst movies last year, it's now in a list!
Thankfully, we don't need to overly revisit bad movies, which means we can also bring you a couple of recent Netflix releases, Damsel and Spaceman.
We'll let you know what to stay away from, if you've managed it so far, and who knows what else we'll get up to.

Dune Part 2 Review

The second part of the Dune extravaganza actually managed to surprise, though it had some flaws and a strange ending. As much as we liked the first installment, there was a lot that could go wrong.
Tune in and find out what we thought about the massive undertaking, why it worked, and why it occasionally didn't.

The Best of the Year Lists!

This week we are taking on the Best of the Year, but it's also our first episode that we are also doing on video. 
Things might sound a little strange here and there, and that'll be why. Also, this one got away from us a bit on length, mostly because we had a lot of Honorable Mentions.
It was a wild year to be sure, which made lists both easier and harder, but at the very least ours aren't the same as everyone else's.
Please also check us out on YouTube, and like and subscribe there, etc.

The Mad Dash Episode - Reviews To Round Out The Year

This week we actually just cranked through a lot of films to end the year before next week when we dare to offer you our Best of the Year list.
We hit too many to go over, including such winners as Past Lives and Dream Scenario, and ended up with some of our biggest differences ever, which was really surprising in some cases. This was largely a result of Shane hating everything and me being a sucker... apparently.
Tune in to find out about several movies you need to check out so that you are fully informed (let's say) going into the Best of the Year.

Oppenheimer, May December, American Fiction & More

As we run headlong toward our Best of the Year list, and the Can't Win Awards, we're trying like hell to get through as many films as possible... and it only works so well.
This week we finally get to Oppenheimer, which hit us pretty much as we expected... tune into to find out what that means. We're also looking at two real gems of the year, even if we didn't rate one of them that highly, May December and American Fiction.

Killers of the Flower Moon Review - Plus Award Drama & TV "Special Note"

This week we finally look at Killers of the Flower Moon as we head into our wrap up of as many movies we didn't get to as possible before our Best of the Year list and our "Can't Win" Awards.
Killers didn't really impress us, as is perhaps the case with several of the biggest titles this year, and we'll let you know exactly why.
Also, in a bit of a strange move as we waste time when we have better things to do, we talk about the Oscar snubs and how I unfortunately caused them, or predicted them, or something.
Finally, we're briefly revisiting The Night Agent and only because I mentioned it previously on the show after only watching three episodes.
