    Worst Movies of the Year + Damsel & Spaceman Reviews

    It's that time again, and as much as it is perhaps unnecessary to rewarn people of the worst movies last year, it's now in a list!

    Thankfully, we don't need to overly revisit bad movies, which means we can also bring you a couple of recent Netflix releases, Damsel and Spaceman.

    We'll let you know what to stay away from, if you've managed it so far, and who knows what else we'll get up to.

    Dune Part 2 Review

    The second part of the Dune extravaganza actually managed to surprise, though it had some flaws and a strange ending. As much as we liked the first installment, there was a lot that could go wrong.

    Tune in and find out what we thought about the massive undertaking, why it worked, and why it occasionally didn't.

    The Best of the Year Lists!

    This week we are taking on the Best of the Year, but it's also our first episode that we are also doing on video. 

    Things might sound a little strange here and there, and that'll be why. Also, this one got away from us a bit on length, mostly because we had a lot of Honorable Mentions.

    It was a wild year to be sure, which made lists both easier and harder, but at the very least ours aren't the same as everyone else's.

    Please also check us out on YouTube, and like and subscribe there, etc.

    The Mad Dash Episode - Reviews To Round Out The Year

    This week we actually just cranked through a lot of films to end the year before next week when we dare to offer you our Best of the Year list.

    We hit too many to go over, including such winners as Past Lives and Dream Scenario, and ended up with some of our biggest differences ever, which was really surprising in some cases. This was largely a result of Shane hating everything and me being a sucker... apparently.

    Tune in to find out about several movies you need to check out so that you are fully informed (let's say) going into the Best of the Year.

    Oppenheimer, May December, American Fiction & More

    As we run headlong toward our Best of the Year list, and the Can't Win Awards, we're trying like hell to get through as many films as possible... and it only works so well.

    This week we finally get to Oppenheimer, which hit us pretty much as we expected... tune into to find out what that means. We're also looking at two real gems of the year, even if we didn't rate one of them that highly, May December and American Fiction.

    Killers of the Flower Moon Review - Plus Award Drama & TV "Special Note"

    This week we finally look at Killers of the Flower Moon as we head into our wrap up of as many movies we didn't get to as possible before our Best of the Year list and our "Can't Win" Awards.

    Killers didn't really impress us, as is perhaps the case with several of the biggest titles this year, and we'll let you know exactly why.

    Also, in a bit of a strange move as we waste time when we have better things to do, we talk about the Oscar snubs and how I unfortunately caused them, or predicted them, or something.

    Finally, we're briefly revisiting The Night Agent and only because I mentioned it previously on the show after only watching three episodes.

    Critics Choice Awards Winners Plus The Holdovers & Saltburn

    The Critics Choice Awards happened and it was a great show once again. This week we look over the winners and let you know how we feel about them (and sometimes what I actually voted for), and we review (though rather quickly) The Holdovers and Saltburn.

    The Holdovers got Paul Giamatti the win, and as we mentioned in a previous episode, he deserved it, and it was a year with some serious competition.

    Saltburn hasn't managed a lot of love, and is becoming famous simply for the talk surrounding a couple of... well, odd, scenes, but the follow up to Promising Young Woman is still quite good... if odd.

    Critics’ Choice Awards Noms & Leave the World Behind Review

    You may be expecting our usual, end of year shotgun blast of reviews where we try to hit as many movies as possible each episode, but because this year threw off our ability to get a couple of episodes out - even as we prepare to add video to the mix - we've decided to run through some of the major categories of the Critics' Choice Awards nominations in order to highlight and discuss said nominees that way.

    We will get you our take on several of the most noteworthy films that way, and review them "better" later, so at least you have some ideas going into award season.

    We are also covering Leave the World Behind this week, though briefly, and mostly for a quick laugh.

    Poor Things Review

    In a wildly rare move... sort of, we are only covering one film this week, Poor Things. As usual for the pre-award rush, we've been hyping the fact that we would need to share several movies per episode, but this week... accidentally, we are laser-focused on Yorgos Lanthimos' latest, and this treat with Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, and Willem Defoe is certainly worthy of our attention... even if it isn't quite the 10/10 I was expecting. It is close though.

    The Marvels & The Killer Reviews

    This week we are really gearing up for awards season, which seems crazy. Before we get too close to four or five films a week territory, we have a couple of big titles to tackle, and neither of them impressed us much.

    The Marvels is getting a wild world of pro and con commentary, but where does it really land, and why? The Killer, which is weirdly, The K__.ller, owing to the graphic novel, is a lot of potential that doesn't really amount to anything as cool as it should have been.

    Five Nights at Freddy’s Review And More

    This week we are taking a look at what turns out to be a truly special movie, Five Nights at Freddy's, at least in terms of messing with our ratings.

    We're also covering a couple of other films, including Totally Killer.

    As much as it may seem absolutely crazy, because we are very serious film critics, Five Nights played havoc with our thoughts about rating movies. So much so that we have been inspired to revisit our show from ages ago where we dive deep into how we come to our ratings. Look for that somewhere around the new year with our yearly lists and awards.
