Episode 10 - Fight Club

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..

BONUS EPISODE - Heretic

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.

Episode 13 - Forrest Gump

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.

BONUS EPISODE - A Nightmare on Elm Street

Happy Halloween! This week, we watch the low budget miracle of a horror film thats concept started one of the longest running film franchises in history. With just $57,000 budgeted for effects, this film showcases scene after scene of ingenuity, and images from the film stand among the best the genre has to offer. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), directed by Wes Craven.

Oct 23 BONUS EPISODE - Army Of Darkness

Our halloween season movie selection moves into the 1990s with the 3rd entry in the Evil Dead series: Army Of Darkness. Leaning more on comedy and action than the previous two entries, it's still fun to see all the different ways Sam Raimi tries to get Bruce Campbell injured -- well, maybe that final action sequence goes on a bit too long. Army Of Darkness (1990) by Sam Raimi.

BONUS EPISODE - Alien: Romulus

This week, we watch the 7th film in the Alien franchise (not counting the AvP series) that aims to take it back to the feeling of the original by putting a horror movie director at the helm and by allowing the production to have mostly practical effects. The result is the scariest Alien film since the original. Alien: Romulus (2024), directed by Fede Alvarez.

Episode 17 - Goodfellas

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.
