Machine. Horse. Two films are reviewed that take distinctly different approaches to similar themes. These themes are inspired by a current release that is reviewed at the top of the show. It is cinematic combat. A movie arena. One that keeps hosts Michael Denniston and Shane Conner entertained every week. And hopefully you are too.
Neve Campbell. Marlon Brando. Jesse Eisenberg. The trilogy ends with a trip to ADVENTURELAND and the Yoda-like advice (AS ALWAYS) of Martin Starr talking about dreaming of the perfect ass. Enjoy!

What else is there to say about THE GODFATHER other than it is the obvious spiritual sequel to SCREAM 7 that the master filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola managed to get made five decades before this latest Matthew Lillard joint? If you want more... enjoy the podcast!

Welcome to our autopsy for the SCREAM franchise where we discover that the last two entries are considered THE LAST JEDI for some dudes on Reddit. That's as far as our research department got before we go back to our own biases of being old and not recognizing young actors but swooning over the return of Matthew Lillard. As God intended. Enjoy!

Because Akira Kurosawa hasn't yet earned the right to have his work presented in podcast form outside of a paywall. Enjoy our episode on HIGH AND LOW with as many references to the superior classic Jan de Bont's SPEED!

We question the validity of the classic status that is Milos Forman's ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST very briefly in the episode because by the end of it we give our an analysis on the defining narrative program from the cable channel BATES MOTEL without having watched said program. Keeping that until the very end keeps you from questioning the validity of the opinions on this podcast... that is unless you read the show notes. Enjoy!

One co-host does not seem enthused about revisiting Skinny Sociopath Jake in NIGHTCRAWLER. One co-host finds out that there is a new 4k release of intern Riz Ahmed in NIGHTCRAWLER. One co-host becomes very enthusiastic about revisiting an awkward dinner date with Rene Russo in NIGHTCRAWLER. The other co-host never needed any prodding to rewatch his beloved brah Bill Paxton in NIGHTCRAWLER. Enjoy!

Sam Raimi returns from the MCU mucky muck (much like ourselves... although we went woefully unpaid for our contribution) to go back to his DRAG ME TO HELL morality comedy style in SEND HELP. And we can give you the only review you need by guaranteeing that it is a far funnier film than A SIMPLE PLAN. And Rachel McAdams is a better looking when being bullied than Billy Bob Thornton. These are the takes we can and do provide Every. Goddamn. Month. Enjoy!

From the archives on a failed trilogy on sex toys in film (which would have undoubtedly been our biggest SEO series ever) we dig out a prior recording on Clive Barker's HELLRAISER to go prove once and for all that there is no faith to be had in humanity... and if you have doubts? Go back and redownload this prior month's trilogy of episodes to hear us talk out of both sides of our mouths!

As we face obsolescence in audio podcasting we can't help but feel sympathy for the absolute jackass of a radio shock jock that Jeff Bridges plays... that is until it's revealed that his character's version of falling from heaven is to end up residing above a video store where he "works" by mainly recommending pornography to unsuspecting customers. Enjoy our episode on THE FISHER KING!

Last month we insulted the likes of Guillermo del Toro, Martin Scorsese and David FIncher for making TV movies... and in our second episode of 2026 we feature a really expensive TV movie from Rian Johnson in his third KNIVES OUT entry WAKE UP DEAD MAN!
One host was spiritually moved upon first watch and continued to find more to love about this latest Daniel Craig mystery... and the other came around once the majesty of seeing it at home on streaming just as our gods at Netflix intended. Cinema in 2026 as we TRY to feature films that actually play in theaters! Enjoy!

28 Days Later has aged like a fine wine but perhaps 28 Years Later hasn't aged enough as audiences unfortunately seemed to tune out the latest entry in this franchise 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. We discuss the franchise as a whole (mostly skipping 28 WEEKS LATER unless one host gets a chance to bring up THE BEACH) and how much love we have for Ralph Fiennes, well-endowed zombies and a dance sequence with Satanists. Just a damn good time at the movies as we start our year of covering one new theatrical release a month. Enjoy!
