This week, we watch the highest rated Scorsese movie on the list, as well as arguably the most influential gangster movie of all time. This film could define “good movies about bad people”, which is the acclaimed directors bread and butter. Goodfellas (1990), directed by the Martin Scorsese.
This week, we watch the heady sci-fi action fantasy (insert any genre here) film that took the 90’s by storm. This film spawned countless imitators, including three inferior sequels, and everything about it still holds up today. The Matrix (1999), directed by the Wachowski’s.

This week, we watch the R rated comic book movie that just passed $1 billions dollars worldwide box office. The motor mouthed Ryan Reynolds teams up with the straight man Hugh Jackman, revisiting his popular character in yellow this time. Stupid and funny is what it strives for, and very much achieves it. Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), directed by Shawn Levy.

This week, we watch the new horror film that is taking critics by storm and audiences by mild breeze. The marketing for this film promised a terrifying new classic in horror, but what we end up with is a decently creepy arthouse offering with some very silly Nic Cage moments. Longlegs (2024), directed by Oz Perkins.
This week, we oldest/highest movie on the list. Celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, this film is a rare example of age, language, or length of a film not inhibiting its ability to feel modern, fast paced, funny, dramatic, action packed…it has it all. It is easy to see how all films have taken influence from this absolute classic. Seven Samurai (1954), directed by Akira Kurosawa.
This week, we watch a masterpiece of style. This slow-burn thriller bleeds cool from all sides, as each actor delivers a perfect performance and the soundtrack blares synths over LA at night. Drive (2011), directed by Nicholas Winding Refn.
This week, we watch a brutally realistic film that depicts the actual events of a person growing up in a favala in Rio. Violence, drugs, and crime dominate life in the poorest parts of the city, and the movie energetically and relentlessly re-tells the story. City of God (2002), directed by Fernando Meirelles and Katia Lund.
This week, we watch the fifth Mad Max film. George Miller is nearly 80 years old, and has been developing this post-apocalyptic world for 45 years at this point. This film shifts focus from Max to Furiosa, and while the director is in his twilight years, he is not lacking imagination or energy. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024), directed by George Miller.
This week, we revisit an episode that seems more relevant today than back when we released it in 2019. This film about the Watergate investigations has aged finer still over the past 5 years.. All The President’s Men (1976), directed by Alan Pakula.
This week, we revisit the episode that was not only the first Bonus Episode, but also contains the birth of Timmy. The Rock (1991), directed by Michael Bay. We will be back with new episodes next week!
This week, in preparation for Furiosa, we are reposting the Mad Max episode we did back in 2018. We make some eerily accurate predictions to Furiosa’s title and release timeline in the episode, so check it out! Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), directed by George Miller.
This week, we watch the highest rated horror movie on the IMDB top 250. Hannibal Lecter and Buffalo Bill share the screen as two of the best villains in movie history, while Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling plays the role of a lifetime as a determined FBI agent with a storied past. The Silence of the Lambs (1991), directed by Jonathan Demme.
This week, we watch a new low budget horror movie that is taking critics by storm. Utilizing a minimal cast and a single set, this film showcases a halloween late night TV special that takes a turn that can be predicted from the movie title. Late Night with the Devil (2023), directed by Cameron and Colin Cairnes.
