The Brutalist & More Republish Episode

This week we're catching up more with some republish episodes, and here we're looking at The Brutalist and a couple of others as we were trying to wind up the year.

Best Movies of 2024 Plus Mickey 17

This week we're finally nailing down our Best of the Year lists, and despite the fact that we say every year is crazy, this one is really nuts when it comes to our lists... at least if you compare them to a lot of other critics.
So much money was dumped into things that were supposed to launch onto everyone's radar this year, and so many of them bombed, were rather awful, or both. So what gets on the list, and how does that compare to titles that won awards?
Tune in to find out and learn about the movies that shined in '24
Plus, we get to Mickey 17, which should have gotten a lot more attention, even if we didn't exactly love it.

Nosferatu Review

We have a few episodes left in our republishing effort and this week we've got Nosferatu.
We kick off taking a shot at Eggers and an interview celebrating the box office success of the film, and then let you in on all the reasons it is mostly underwhelming.

Wrapping up 2024, we hit a bunch of movies heading into Best of the Year

It's that time again, we have to get on to our yearly lists, but before we dive in there, we thought we better touch on the movies we haven't covered, because we don't want people thinking we just didn't see the films that pop up on other people's lists... or that got nominated for things... or won things.
We're checking boxes as fast as we can and running though films this week, and you may be surprised to learn which films we need to highlight (because they probably won't be on our Best List)

Captain America: Brave New World Review

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.

Joker 2, Brothers & My Old Ass Reviews

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!

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.

Deadpool & Wolverine Review

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.

Inside Out 2, If, & Axel F Reviews

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

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.
