This week, we move into the second film in the highest rated trilogy of all time. These films condense Tolkien’s novels into accessible blockbusters that don’t sacrifice depth. They also continues to have a tremendous impact on the artistry in filmmaking as well as in pop culture. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), directed by Peter Jackson.

This week, we watch the Academy Award nominated official submission from Germany, that is actually an Iranian made film that was filmed entirely in secret and made it necessary for the director and many of the people who worked on the film to flee Iran. It is a very unique film in the way it was made, it shows some shocking real footage of the 2022 protests in Iran, and is worth a watch for the subject matter alone. The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024), directed by Mohammad Rasoulof.
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 dive into Oscar season! The Oscar nominations are out, and we first dive into a film that received 8 nominations. This beautiful film is certainly a strong contender for production design. Conclave (2024), directed Edward Berger.
This week, we watch the gothic horror / fantasy that was for some reason correctly released on Christmas day. Eggers fourth film is also currently his highest grossing (and climbing), and it might be due to the fact that it is his most beautiful and straightforward. Nosferatu (2024), directed Robert Eggers.
This week, we jump back a bit to a movie we skipped initially to make sure it was discussed at an appropriate time of year. And since its 2025 (happy new year!), lets kick it off by watching Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed fall in love in Bedford Falls. It’s a Wonderful Life (1946), directed by Frank Capra.
This week, we break into the top 10 best movies of all time. A three hour long western that oozes style, has the best dirty face closeups you will ever see, has some of the worst ADR in film, and also maybe the best score of all time. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966), directed by Sergio Leone.
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 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 kick off the halloween season by watching the cult classic that nearly got buried during its initial release. Midsommar takes obvious influences from this movie, which plays more like a mystery / detective drama, although there is at least one moment that will make your stomach drop. The Wicker Man (1973), directed by Robin Hardy.
This week, we experience the most intense ride of the year. Nothing will prepare you for what this movie shoves in your face. Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid all deserve award season consideration for their insane and brilliant performances. The Substance (2024), directed by Coralie Fargeat.
This week, we watch one of the three films to ever win the five top oscars in a given year (Picture, Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay). The craft in this film is undeniable, but the impact of the film through its popularity is potentially not as great. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975), directed by the Milos Forman.
This week, we’re reposting an episode from a while back due to its continued relevance and prophetic messages. Network (1976), directed by Sidney Lumet.
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 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.
