This week, we watch the third entry in the film franchise that is 23 years old and introduced fast zombies to the world. This film has been in development since shortly after the second entry in 2007, and it might be the first movie where the edit was influenced by choices made by the trailer team. 28 Years Later (2025), directed by Danny Boyle.

This film is understandably so high up on the list because of its message of understanding, as well as its entertaining thriller vibe. 12 Angry Men (1957), directed by Sidney Lumet.
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 follow up with last weeks episode with another Salles film. Releasing nearly three decades earlier, this film’s documentary feel shows promise from the director. It is also the first Brazilian film to receive a best actor/actress Oscar nomination. Central Station (1998), directed by Walter Salles.
This week, we watch last years winner of the Best International Film academy award.

I’m Still Here (2024), directed by Walter Salles.
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 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.
