10 Cloverfield Lane & The Worst Movies of 2015

We're reviewing the bizarre not-exactly-sequel, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and we're revealing our Worst Films of 2015 lists.
Cloverfield is getting some interesting reactions, and John Goodman alone is getting a lot of attention, but does this one actually manage to be worth your time? If you saw the original Cloverfield, you might not be sure which way to go. 
We'll also bring you some of the latest industry news, and give a preview of what's coming up.

The Best Movies of the Year Lists

We're going to give you our Best Movies of the Year lists, and run through all the movies you have to make sure don't slip by you. We'll take you through the films we loved most, a lot of honorable mentions, and let you in on why our lists aren't likely to look like everyone else's.
Along the way we'll make sure you know which of these films are going to make it on your own list as well, and we'll probably be forced to talk about the Oscars.

Deadpool Review, Year in Review & More

We're reviewing Deadpool this week, and hopefully catching up on a few other titles as we make our way to our best and worst lists.
Ryan Reynolds' anti-comic has been breaking records, and we'll let you know if it's worth the time and all the hype. We'll also take a look at everything that happened last year, just how locked up the Oscars are at this point, and give you some more hints at our best and worst lists. And, don't forget that our own awards are coming up, and unless someone comes up with a better name, they're still the "Can't Win" awards.

5th Wave Review, Critics' Choice Awards, Carol, And More

It's the final stop before our Best and Worst lists, including Critics' Choice Awards coverage, plus we're covering The 5th Wave.
We're still trying to finalize our lists, and now that the Critics' Choice Awards are over all eyes are on The Oscars. That means we have some movies to try to get to, like Carol, The Big Short, and several others, but we've also got to get to The 5th Wave, especially because - whether ultimately good or not - it surprised us.

Joy, Carol, Award Talk, and much more!

We'll be reviewing Joy and Carol, along with a few others as we finish up 2015's coverage. We'll also be giving our thoughts on the Golden Globes, tonight's Critics' Choice Awards, and much more.
With the Globes already done, and the Critics' Choice about to hit, we're right in the heart of award season, and we'll let you know what should have won, what should win, and what it all means for the Oscars.
We're also going to get through as many of the nominated films we haven't had a chance to cover yet, and possibly a few of the hidden gems of the year

Star Wars: The Force Awakens & Sisters Review

This week is all about Star Wars, but there are other movies out there. We'll review Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Sisters, which also opens this week, and we'll try to get to some of the other films jockeying for awards.
It's a big test in Disney's buyout plans, and while the merch alone will make for a good deal over time, whether The Force Awakens can bring back fans or not is going to mean a difference of several billion dollars. We'll let you know if it makes the grade, and why.
We're also going to be starting up a Periscope broadcast of the show this week, because why not kick things off on the biggest movie weekend of the year? Tune in to that live and we'll be able to answer questions.

Creed, Concussion, Black Mass, And More

Marc and Shane start wrapping up the year, and the closer award shows get, the more movies there are to cover each week.
Creed, Concussion, and Black Mass have managed varying degrees of success at the box office, and some nominations, but we'll let you know if you need to check them out, and if they're worthy of whatever attention they've already received.
Boxing, football, and the mob make for an interesting mix, and we may manage to get to even more.

Spotlight, Steve Jobs, And More - End Of Year Reviews

Marc and Shane start their end of year push as award season closes in with Spotlight, Steve Jobs, and as many other movies as they can get to.
It's that time of year, and as everyone starts talking about which movie has the most buzz going into the final countdown of award season, we'll try to get through as many as we can, including some that we didn't cover from earlier in the year.
Spotlight is getting a lot of attention, and Steve Jobs is at least still managing some talk for Fassbender. Over the next few weeks, we'll hit as many films as we can, so you have our take on what's going to happen with awards, and you know which ones you definitely have to fit into your schedule.

Victor Frankenstein Review

Marc and Shane take a look at Victor Frankenstein, and let you know if James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe can make something of the retelling/reimagining of one of the most popular "monster" stories ever.
Despite the theoretic drawing power of the stars, this one hasn't been doing well with critics, and probably won't draw a huge audience considering the competition, but we'll let you know if you should give it a chance.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Review

Marc and Shane review the final installment of The Hunger Games. It may be critic proof at this point, but we'll let you know how the franchise wraps up, and whether the movie series can end as strong as it started.
We'll also run through some of the week's industry news, answer listener questions, and take a look back at some of the year's titles that we haven't covered yet.
