Ho-ho-ho it's the jolliest time of the year and we are revisiting The Santa Clause celebrating a 30th anniversary. In 1994 Tim Allen was the pinnacle of multimedia celebrity with the number one film at the box office, a best seller, and the number one tv show. But how does he rate as a Santa? Tune in and find out our thoughts as we look back at this now holiday classic.

Ryan and Lauren say "vaya con dios" to summer with surf classic Point Break. Listen as one claims its greatness in the film canon and one comes up with the best possible reimagining for a remake. 

Episode II and Lauren gets to exact her revenge on a gap in Ryan's knowledge and celebrate the wonder of Spielberg, the iconic Marion Ravenwood, and the indomitable Sallah. Oh yes, and they talk about Indy too. 

In this first episode co-hosts Ryan and Lauren Tocci talk origin story, their film IQ, but most of all answer "How could you not have seen The Goonies?" 

Call it Babes in Toyland, or March of the Wooden Soldiers, but either way call it our oldest Thanksgiving tradition! Join us as we kick off the festive week recapping the classic Laurel and Hardy musical comedy, March of the Wooden Soldiers. It's a film that for many is a holiday tradition, thanks to a copyright issue and its repeated plays on television from the 1960s on. For us it's firmly to be shown on one day in particular, leading us to ask How Could You Not watch March of the Wooden Soldiers on Thanksgiving?!

It is no secret that the Academy Awards criminally ignores horror genre films when dolling out Oscars. Thanks to a suggestion by a dear friend and longtime listener, we are handing out our first ever Oscares awards, honoring the horror films that missed out on gold.

"I see dead people" and the latest entry in our year long exploration of the films of 1999 with The Sixth Sense.

M. Night Shyamalan's third film is probably the most discussed of the year, making water cooler fodder around a twist so surprising, it begs us to ask How could you think a twist is better than this one?

In a year of remarkable films, and highly talked about films, the buzz around The Blair Witch Project was the buzziest of all. In a lightning in a bottle moment, viral marketing, lack of mainstream understanding of the genre, and a group of unknowns combined to scare the daylights out of audiences.

But perhaps more intriguing is the life this film continues to have as one of the most successful independent films of all time, the gold standard in found footage, and a film that continues to surprise and terrify generations removed from its release.

Compelling us to ask: how could you not still be obsessed with The Blair Witch Project?
