Join Sandro Falce and Zach Adams as they embark on a journey throughout the wide world of cinema. Each week, they will pick whatever movie they want to review... as long as it connects in some way to the previous movie they covered, and decide whether the movie is an oldie or a goodie. (: For 2019 episodes, we cover 1994. For 2020 episodes, we cover 1984. For 2021 episodes, we cover 1987. For 2022 episodes, we cover 2001. For 2023-24 episodes, we cover 1920 - 2000.)
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) [Patreon Bonus Episode]

Do you like water? We love water! You'll be hard-pressed to find a pair of podcasters who love water as much as us. And that's why we went to a cinema in 2022 and watched Avatar: The Way of Water! Then we reviewed it on Patreon! And now, we're releasing that review for free! So many opinions! And water!
This week, we're reviewing Ocean's Eleven. No, it's not the classic heist movie by Steven Soderbergh that spawned the franchise we've probably all heard of today. We're instead talking about the 1960 film by Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack. We slogged our way through this egotistical mess to see if it deserves to be as poorly remembered as it is.
To kick off a month of movie choices only from Zach (and voted on by our Patreon subscribers), we're jumping headfirst into Toontown for a review of Robert Zemeckis's Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's a one-of-a-kind blend of live-action and cartoon, set against a 1940s Hollywood backdrop, and featuring a hilarious combination of slapstick violence and hard-boiled mystery.
We're both big sci-fi nerds, so when the option came up to review one of the most influential science-fiction movies of all time, we had to pick it. 'Forbidden Planet' from 1956 is a goldmine of firsts for fans of the genre. Its hand in basically creating the style of sci-fi that we love today cannot be disputed. Plus, it stars the one and only Leslie Nielsen, alongside Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, and Robby the Robot.
#244: Tarantula / It Came From Beneath the Sea (1955) (with Robert Yaniz Jr.)
Épisode 244

We're halfway through the 50s and you know what that means... It's time for another bonus battle! We've taken two giant monster movies from 1955 and put them head to head to see which comes out on top. We've got a massive tarantula on the loose in 'Tarantula', but maybe the real monsters were the humans who made it along the way, and we've got an angry octopus in 'It Came From Beneath the Sea', but maybe the real villains in that film are the boring human characters. We're joined by fellow movie podcaster Robert Yaniz Jr. from Crooked Table Productions to see which film is better.
It's 1954 and we're covering our second Jules Verne adaptation of the year... '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'. It stars Kirk Douglas and James Mason, is directed by Richard Fleischer, and is produced by Walt Disney himself. It was the most expensive Hollywood film to date when it came out and proved to studios that pumping millions into movies is a very safe business model that won't cause studios to go bankrupt in the late 60s (or the present day). Also, it's got a giant squid in it!
We're finally doing a western! Except this isn't just any normal western... It's a musical western! This week on the show, we're checking out the Doris Day film 'Calamity Jane' from 1953. It's filled with catchy tunes, fun performances, camp undertones, and a bunch of problematic stuff that threatens to ruin your enjoyment of the film.
We're in 1952 and we've picked one of the best movies of all time. It's got everything! A fun story with excellent songs and dancing, starring characters you enjoy spending time with, and some behind-the-scenes stories that help make this an entertaining and informative podcast. So you'd better have an umbrella in hand because it's time to go Singin' In The Rain.
Clean the cannons, polish the uniforms, and raise the sails... It's time to head out into the seas and have adventures during the Napoleonic Wars with Captain Horatio Hornblower! It's the first adaptation of the classic Navy war novels by C. S. Forester, with the title character being played by Gregory Peck. The boys are joined by regular guest Sandy Whittem to chat about how well the movie has aged, especially when compared to the late 90s TV series starring Ioan Gruffudd and Paul McGann.
For our first movie from the 1950s, we're heading to Japan and checking out a classic thriller from Akira Kurosawa called Rashomon. We're joined by regular guest Jack McGorlick to discuss the crime, the four contradictory stories we get about the crime, and our verdict on what actually happened.
