week, we watch the sixth film (first in over a decade) in the Final Destination franchise. In these films, death chases those who escape it, and can only kill people in a series of more elaborate ways. This film leans heavily into the camp while keeping the over the top gore in potentially the strongest entry in the series. Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025), directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein.
This week, we watch the classic that changed the film industry forever. Indie attempts to copy the formula defined most of the rest of the 90s, but nothing came close to what this film achieves. This films iconic status has not diminished over the years, and it remains one of the funniest films of all time. Pulp Fiction (1994), directed by Quentin Tarantino.
This week, we watch the first original screenplay from writer/director Ryan Coogler in over a decade. After solidifying his reputation with big budget series films (Creed, Black Panther), Coogler returns to original screenplays, and returns to film (IMAX). What results is one of the most wildly entertaining theater going experiences in years. Even if the horror genre generally turns you away, give this one a shot. Sinners (2025), directed by Ryan Coogler.
This week, we watch the film that won the the Palm D’or at this years Cannes Film Festival and is also up for 6 Oscars. This film split our opinions, but we could all agree that Mikey Madison is understandably a favorite for the Best Actress award. Anora (2024), directed Sean Baker
This week, we are Jack’s mixed film opinions. Being David Fincher’s highest rated movie, we expected maybe too much for our first rewatches in twenty years, but there is still a lot to admire about this very unique film. Fight Club (1999), directed by David Fincher, starring Brad Pitt’s abs..
This week, we may be in November, but thats not stopping hollywood from giving us a late to the party horror movie with everyones favorite romantic comedy actor, Huge Grant. This extremely effective bottle episode of a movie has a trio of great performances, and the horror aspects are slowly and expertly introduced to make it one of the most tense experiences of the year. Heretic (2024), directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods.
This week, we watch the movie that famously and with controversy beat out Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption for best picture at the 1995 Oscars. This film also landed Tom Hanks a second best actor Oscar a year after his first, an achievement that only 4 other people have ever accomplished. Forrest Gump (1994), directed by Robert Zemeckis.
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 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.
This week, we watch a rare comedy that is also scooping up award nominations. Writer / Director / Producer Cord Jefferson nails directorial debut, which balances heavy themes with laugh out loud moments, while leaving the viewer with lots to think about once the credits roll. American Fiction (2023), directed by Cord Jefferson.
This week, we watch a film that is heaven for film geeks. Images pour off the screen like melting candy for the brain. The score is a soundtrack to a dizzying dream. The humor is at once bizarre and dark, yet accessible and upbeat. The actors utilize an amazing script to make something profound and hilarious. It is life affirming, blazingly satirical, completely absurd, and an absolute instant classic. Poor Things (2023), directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
This week, we are watching a classic from over 80 years ago. This may be the most modern feeling pre-1960’s film we have watch so far in our hundreds of episodes. While it might be a staple in film school classes, it doesn’t need any explanation from a stuffy teacher to see how well made and entertaining this classic remains. Casablanca (1942), directed by Michael Curtiz.
This week, we Barbie’d the Heimer. The most unexpected one-two box office knockout’s better (pink) half is breaking records left and right. Top Hollywood creative talent somehow managed to take corporate greed and product recognition to bring older and younger generators together with huge laughs throughout. Barbie (2023), directed by Greta Gerwig.
This week, we watch the highest rated silent movie of all time. At the height of his power and the end of the silent film era, Charlie Chaplin used an exorbitant amount of his own money to create what many consider to be his masterpiece. City Lights (1931), directed by Charles Chaplin.
