The Revisitors

Frank would have ranked The Boondock Saints amongst his top five films when he was in high school, but now.... Maybe not. What's changed?

Was Paul Haggis' Oscar triumph, Crash, really that triumphant? Or does it just make moderate-progressive white folks feel open-minded without really challenging their worldview? 

Frank and Diego discuss Ridley Scott's 2000 best picture winner Gladiator.

Our count down to Oscar continues with Jonathan Demme's The Silence of the Lambs. Frank says it might be the most influential movie of the last forty years, will Diego agree?

This week we get in the WABAC machine and travel to a time when James Cameron had only directed one highest-grossing film of all time...

Should Forrest Gump have defeated Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption in the much-discussed race for the 1995 Oscar for Best Picture? No, Quiz Show should have. But has it earned its place as a new classic? a pop culture touchstone? iconic American cinema? One thing's for sure: We had some microphone issues during our "What did Frank watch this week segment?" and you can barely hear Diego.

In the final episode of "Bluth-uary," Diego and Frank review 1991's Rock-a-Doodle to determine whether or not it lives up to its reputation as the greatest adaptation of French dramatist Edmond Rostand's  beloved 1910 play Chantacler ever set to celluloid.

We're in the fourth week of Bluth-uary with one of Don Bluth's most enduring films , All Dogs Go to Heaven, a fascinating contemplation of the immortal canine soul and the "Good Dog" and "Bad Dog" within every dog.

Dinosaurs are cool! Frank would like it if these dinosaurs were a little less chatty, but, you know, it's for kids.

Bluth-uary continues as Frank and Diego discuss Don Bluth and Steven Spielberg's first collaboration, the much-loved coming-to-America story An American Tail.  

It's the first of Bluth-uary! Celebrate with The Revisitors!

Spoiler alert! This movie is great and we both just really, really like it.

The much-loved tv special Rudolph the Red -Nosed  is doubly daring  in being an ahead-of-its-time LGBTQ narrative and its portrayal of Santa Claus as a complete prick, but is it good?

Frank and Diego begrudgingly admit that Tim Allen is a skilled comic performer, but is the Tim Allen of yuletide staple The Santa Clause closer to the Tim Allen of Toy Story  and Galaxy Quest or to the Tim Allen of  Last Man Standing,  Jungle 2 Jungle, Joe Somebody, Wild Hogs, Big Trouble, and Christmas With the Kranks?

It's the Holiday Season and Frank and Diego are discussing Rankin-Bass' Christmas classic (apparently) The Year Without a Santa Claus and welcoming return guest, Diego's loud-ass refrigerator!

At the insistence of unapologetic 007 nerd, Frank, we watched Pierce Brosnan's debut as James Bond, 1995's Goldeneye and welcomed our first-ever guests... Laura Sieling-Gaylord and Danny Gaylord, co-hosts of the podcast Film is Lit! 

Can a lonely a billionaire boy teach a motley band of street toughs to love the rich?

Is The Mighty Ducks a triumph of kids sports comedy or a pale imitation of The Bad News Bears? One thing is for sure: We don't know very much about hockey.

What if a precocious pre-teen were given one million dollars to spend as they saw fit? Wouldn't that be interesting? Or shouldn't it?

Who is Devon Graham?
