This week, we are watching the Pixar film that first brought us deep into the ocean. When a clown fish's only child gets taken away by scuba divers, he must make a journey across the ocean to get him back. Finding Nemo (2003), directed by Andrew Stanton
This week, we watch the movie that scared the crap out of 1999; the film that you've accidentally spoiled at least once; the picture that, up until last year, was the highest grossing horror movie of all time. The Sixth Sense (1999), directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
This week, we watch the hard to find Russian classic that has influenced movies such as Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, and Inglorious Bastards. Real artillery, bombs, animal deaths, and human emotions are put fourth on screen to create something horrifying and unlike anything else we've seen. Come and See (1985), directed by Elem Klimov.
This week, we give you a bonus episode! Deadpool is #210 on the IMDB list of the best films of all time, so we took a trip to the theaters to see how they handled the followup. Ryan Reynolds returns as the merc with a mouth, as this sequel gives us more violence, more CG battles, more pop culture references, more catch phrases, more tiny limbs...if the original Deadpool film was an appropriately sized bag of your favorite candies, Deadpool 2 is a five gallon bucket filled with all the halloween leftovers. And who's inner child is going to say no to that? Deadpool 2, directed by David Leitch.
This week, we watch a dog turn into a spider, a head turn into a spider, a chest turn into a mouth, and a hole bunch of aliens set fire in the snow. This classic sci-fi horror keeps us guessing as to who we can trust, and who is going to die next. One thing is for sure, Kurt Russell's hair is glorious. The Thing (1982), directed By John Carpenter.
This week, we watch the movie that features the creepiest haircut ever to grace the silver screen. One man finds a bag of money in a drug deal gone wrong. The haircut then proceeds to murder everyone in its path on its quest to retrieve the money. The FBI agent from The Fugitive is on the case. No Country For Old Men (2007), directed by Joel and Ethan Coen.
This week, we give you a bonus episode! Since Captain America: Civil War episode lined up so perfectly to the same week as the opening of the new Avengers movie, we decided we'd all go to the theater and see what all the fuss is about. VERY SPOILER FILLED EPISODE. See this awesome movie and listen to our take on it. Avengers: Infinity War (2018), directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo.
This week, in a week where a new Avengers has taken the box office by storm, we are watching the Marvel movie that has Captain America and Iron Man taking opposing positions. Which super hero do you side with? With special guest Wombat from the CAGCast! Captain America: Civil War (2016), directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo.
This week, we watch Emile Hirsch burn all of his money and walk into the woods. It turns out that it wasn't the best idea. Great acting and scenery ensues. Into The Wild (2007), directed by Sean Penn.
This week, we watch the Australian stop-motion film that is a follow up to the Oscar winning animated short, Harvey Krumpet. Mary is a young girl from Melbourne who is lonely and unloved. Max is a middle-aged man from New York who is overweight and has Aspergers. The two write to each other and become friends, in what is one of the most unique movies on this list. Mary and Max (2009), directed by Adam Elliot.
This week, we watch the twist laden thriller, based on the hugely popular Gillian Flynn book. Fincher's style seeps into this film, who is lead by Ben Affleck, but stolen by Rosamund Pike. And if you think you might be watching a bloodless Fincher movie two hours into this 2.5 hour film, you will be proven very wrong. Gone Girl (2014), directed by David Fincher.
This week, we watch Tarantino's bloody action flick, where he pays homage to older grind house cinema, including kung-fu, westerns, and exploitation films. Uma Thurman sacrifices herself for the role of The Bride, as she slaughters dozens of opponents with a legendary Hanzo sword, fighting her way back to the man who put a hit out on her, the man who killed her, the man who is the father of her child. Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003), directed by Quentin Tarantino.
This week, we watch the classic romantic comedy that walked away with the top 5 Oscars for 1934, one of only three films in history to do the same. The oldest movie we've watched so far on our mission, this film has aged beautifully, as the comedy remains laugh out loud funny for the entire runtime, and the acting between the two leads is very believable and fun to watch. It Happened One Night (1934), directed by Frank Capra.
This week, we watch the classic Monty Python comedy that has been banned in multiple countries and denounced by religious groups all over the world. The film itself doesn't do very much to insult religion, but it does a lot to get you rolling on the floor, as the comedy group showcases their trademark silliness in some of the funniest scenes ever put to film. Life of Brian (1979), directed by Terry Jones.
This week, we watch the incredible true story of Niki Lauda and James Hunt, two formula one racers who's rivalry in the 1976 World Championship gained the attention of the world. While the film may have taken some liberties with the relationship between Niki and James, the movie aims to remain true to the real happenings of the season, and largely succeeds. Rush (2013), directed by Ron Howard.
This week, we watch the American epic about Daniel Plainview, an oil man who wants no one else to succeed.

There Will Be Blood (2007), directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.
This week, we watch a series of vignettes about a prostitute Rome-ing the streets.

Nights of Cabiria (1957), directed by Federico Fellini.
This week, we watch the film that portrays the historical events of the Rwandan Genocide through the story of a hotel manager who protected over 1,000 refugees in the midst of the massacre. Don Cheadle portrays Paul Rusesabagina, a man who risked his family members lives, as well as his own, to save innocent lives in a performance that will most likely continue to define his career. Hotel Rwanda (2004), directed by Terry George.
