All in Action
This week, we watch a huge cast of A-listers dive into peoples dreams. For business purposes. And you can jump between peoples minds. But limbo is always in Leo’s head. Don’t ask questions, just watch the cool action. Inception (2010), directed by Christopher Nolan.
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, to recognize the massive amounts of money Deadpool & Wolverine made this past weekend (and because TC is away at the Olympics), we are reposting our Deadpool episode recorded back in 2018. Deadpool (2016), directed by Tim Miller.

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 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 Natalie Portman’s first film, where she plays the daughter of a slaughtered family who is taken in by a professional hitman who lives next door. This film elevates its B-movie potential with iconic performances by all of the leads. Leon: The Professional (1994), directed by Luc Besson.
"Point Break" from 1991, directed by Kathryn Bigelow. Denny won the oscars contest, so Denny could pick any film he wanted for us to watch. He picked this one. There's some great action sequences here, and also some of the most laughably bad acting we've seen in the history of this podcast.
This week, we watch the film that has just released and is currently sitting at the #10 best movie of all time. See it on the biggest screen and loudest speakers you can find. Dune: Part 2 (2024), directed by Denis Villeneuve.
This week, we watch the newest Japanese Godzilla film that is breaking box office records on top of being nominated for an Oscar for Visual Effects.. See this film on the biggest screen and the loudest speaker system you can. Godzilla Minus One (2023), directed by Takashi Yamazaki.
This week, we watch Harrison Ford’s second outing as the rugged archeologist with the hat and the whip. This film was highest grossing movie of the year it came out, broke opening weekend records, and was the catalyst for the PG-13 rating (alongside Gremlins). We discuss how it compares to the other films in the franchise. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), directed by Steven Spielberg.
