Awards season has wrapped with the Oscars, but before we get to a rundown of noteworthy films we haven't covered next week, and our Best of the Year lists the week after, we have to visit a truly underwhelming Marvel film.
Captain America: Brave New World could barely hold our attention, and it seems fitting to get it out of the way before we start talking about good films.

Monday Feb 24, 2025

We continue our insane adventure of republishing/catching up with Joker: Folie a Deux, Brothers, and My Old Ass.
It's the strange kick off to the year's film with huge budgets that bombed and a couple of smaller titles that were quite a bit better than expected.
The sequel to the massive hit ought to have made plenty of money, but it had trouble long before it came out, and rightly so.
We'll let you in on these and more... including just some director bashing.

The Instigators & Jackpot!

Wednesday Feb 19, 2025

Wednesday Feb 19, 2025

We're continuing our insane republish/catch-up extravaganza with The Instigators & Jackpot!...two movies that, depending on which of us you side with, maybe are at best unnecessary.
We also run through some TV this week, because... at the time... there was a lot we wanted to champion and weren't sure they would get enough attention.
Check out our thoughts and share, like, subscribe, and otherwise trick your friends into listening to us.

Deadpool & Wolverine Review

Friday Jan 31, 2025

Friday Jan 31, 2025

We continue our catch up/republish adventures with Deadpool & Wolverine, as wild and screwy a movie as 2024 could manage. We also take a helluva shot at the Olympics and the insanity of events.

Wednesday Jan 22, 2025

As we continue with our catch up/republish episodes, we get to Inside Out 2, one of the best of the year, and the impossible to search IF (Imaginary Friends), and finally Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.
It made for a strange episode, because Inside Out 2 was almost indescribably good, but somehow wasn't quite a 10/10, and the other two were passable while filled with flaws that make them potentially annoying.

Furiosa & Hitman Reviews

Tuesday Jan 14, 2025

Tuesday Jan 14, 2025

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.

Thursday Jan 02, 2025

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

Friday Sep 27, 2024

Friday Sep 27, 2024

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.

Thursday May 23, 2024

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.

Thursday Apr 18, 2024

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.
