"A Real Pain," Sundance 2024 Wrapup, "California Split," "The Man in the Moon"

Hey, we stayed up to talk about the Oscars and posted it right afterwards. Aren't you proud of us? We deserve your praise! Anyway, a big night for "Oppenheimer," and Emma Stone, and "The Zone of Interest," and Cord Jefferson, and John Cena.

We talk about two new movies too: It's Rose Glass' "Saint Maud" follow-up with Kristen Stewart, "Love Lies Bleeding." Then it's a Peter Farrelly movie, "Ricky Stanicky."

The second Dune movie is out! Remember the first one? This is a big hit, this new one, and we dig into it in all its glory. Then we discuss the Adam Sandler Netflix space drama "Spaceman."

Then, hey, the Oscars are one week away. We preview the show and make predictions in the eight major categories.

It is almost a Coen Brothers movie: It's "Drive-Away Dolls," directed by Ethan Coen and starring some old Coen staples. We dig into it, and then, with the re-release of "Tenet" in theaters, finally do one full look at the film and pass some sort of final judgment. (For now.)

Then in our Reboot segment, we go way back, back to 1940, to revel in the classic "His Girl Friday."

Contrary to popular opinion, "Madame Web" is not the last superhero movie. It just feels that way. We discuss the film and ... may like it better than other people. Though we still don't like it. We also dig into the music biopic "Bob Marley: One Love."

Then in our Reboot segment, we go the Sam Peckinpah route with "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid," with James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson and ... Bob Dylan.

Hey, it's Super Bowl Sunday! What better time to talk about something that isn't football. This week, we discuss the Sundance hit "Suncoast," available on Hulu, and the Diablo Cody comedy "Lisa Frankenstein," which is in theaters. Then we dig into, in our Reboot section, the Oscar-nominationed George Clooney comedy-drama "Up in the Air."

Enjoy the Super Bowl! (And us talking about U2.)

First off, thank you for all the Reboot suggestions last week: Keep them coming, they're great. We'll get to one more next week, and there are a lot on their way. We have two new movies this week. First, the Matthew Vaughn star-studded spy comedy "Argylle." Then there's the indie hit, "How to Have Sex."

We also have a Reboot, Terry Zwigoff's 2001 film "Ghost World." Remember that movie?

Grierson is back from Sundance, and not only do we recap the festival, we actually discuss his favorite film from Utah, because Leitch actually saw it too: It's Jesse Eisenberg's "A Real Pain." Bonus movie! 

Then we hit two Reboots: Robert Altman's classic "California Split" and Reese Witherspoon's first movie, "The Man in the Moon."

Also, we need a Reboot for next week. So go to Apple Podcasts and give us a review with a movie you'd like us to discuss, ASAP!

We're back! We hope you missed us; we missed you. This week, we preview the Sundance Film Festival, which Grierson is about to leave for, and make some Oscar nomination predictions. We also review our first film of 2024, "Mean Girls," which launches us into a larger and even a little contentious conversation about Tina Fey. Fun! Welcome back!
