Repeat Viewing

For our 3rd "Super Anti-hero" film, friend of the show, cartoonist Alex Schumacher joins us to chat about the 1994 Jim Carrey Blockbuster. Where did we stand on it then, how has it aged, and how have we aged, considering this movie is 30 years old?! WE chat about the then cutting edge CGI, the extreme 90s-ness, and ask a few vital questions about the storytelling.

*Apologies, due to an ongoing & mysterious computer issue, the sound on this episode is a little rough.

One of our first guests ever returns to discuss James Gunn's new DCEU film, and get mercilessly teased by us... because we have a reputation to uphold. We talk about the many creative angles and depths of this murderous antihero romp, as well as the gallows humor and many Easter eggs common to all of Gunn's movies. Plus we actually get deep on the history of the 'Squad, with some surprise influences, and as always, we laugh our way through some games!

Returning to the Schneider-verse, we share a hilarious and deep chat about Zack Snyder and filmmaking in the modern age with Jason & Ryan, hosts of the excellent "Esoterica Cinema" podcast. We tear into Snyder's first post DC film, and along the way the energized conversation reveals many layers to the undead movie and its artistically talented creator.

For our 101st episode, we share a brief chat about where this podcast has taken us, where it's headed, how it's changed us personally, and evolved our thoughts on film. Then we jump into probably the most appropriate follow up to GvK, with another "monster fight" movie. We discuss the trope-tastic not for kids playground that is this film, and muse about the career of Nic Cage, plus other Coppola related tangents. #CageReport

We ring in our 100th episode with a rollicking big movie and the absolute ideal guest for it, Kaijumax comic book creator Zander Cannon. We get the lowdown on the big guys and probably look too deeply at this movie.

Or

"Two guys explain to Kraig how to watch this kind of movie."

In our 3rd Eddie Murphy episode, we tackle another extremely long-awaited sequel to a beloved film, and all the baggage that entails. For those sadists out there who love it when we fight, this episode is just for you, as we are intensely split on this film, with the shadowy menace of nostalgia looming over this production and our conversation! It's another battle of podcasters. Will anyone survive?

As cinema changes shape to become a strange hybrid of streaming and theatrical releases, films continue to carry buzz and build reputations like always, and this film is among the many examples. After weeks of hearing about Judas and the Black Messiah, we decided it was too important not to cover it, and the densely layered work of Shaka King, Daniel Kaluuya & Lakieth Stanfield offered quite a lot to discuss, especially in light of our current social tensions. We cover all the filmmaking, acting and social elements possible, and dig into the word on the street about this movie.

Bringing an end to our extended block of first take reviews on streaming film releases, we tackle the moody Denzel Washington detective drama, The Little Things, and share a detailed conversation about, you guessed it, lots of little things that make this movie tick. We look at the triple Oscar winning ensemble cast, the auteur work of writer director John Lee Hancock, and hold this up to other notable serial killer tales for comparison.

In an appropriate follow up to last episode, we talk another actor turned solid director, with George Clooney's latest. We talk about the meta elements of the film, the science & world building, and the intimate personal story buried within what is presented as a race against time survival tale. Plus we ponder where this stands among the modern science fiction landscape. The conversation, much like the film, is more complex than it sounds.

This episode is a battle of podcasters, because one of us loved Christopher Nolan's latest mindbender, and one of us did not! Brace yourself for cannon fire and opinion blasts, as we dive into a film that is equal parts James Bond adventure and applied physics graduate thesis, and yet another entry in the bizarre and high concept Nolan-verse.

In a timely first take review, we look at the sure-handed directorial debut of actress Regina King, One Night in Miami. Our talk ranges from the inner struggles of each man and the outer forces shaping them, King as a director, Kemp Powers as a writer, and the various filmmaking elements that make this movie tick. Plus we peel back the layers of why it is incredibly timely and on the pulse of our country today, despite being set in 1964.
