| The Raid: Redemption | 27 May 2026 | 01:24:42 | |
This week we dive into our most recommended watch in this 2012 Indonesian action film. In showing our love for the upcoming "The Furious", we had so many people asking how it compares to this movie that we figured we had to check it out. We talk about the similarities like Yayan Ruhian and Joe Taslim being in both films and the differences. We also get into all the amazing action that led many people saying this is the standard. We question some of the story beats, consider how good one of the characters realtor really is, and of course award the best moments of the movie. Join the team as we storm the building because yes, we're here to do good! 00:00 We Finally Watched The Raid 05:11 Why The Action Feels So Different 07:28 Family Meeting: Best Action Movies Ever 16:56 The Crime Boss, The Building & The Setup 22:13 The Story Got a Little Confusing 28:34 Rama, Andy & The Brother Drama 32:31 The Action Scenes Go Crazy 39:50 Why the Props Made the Fights Better 47:53 The Body Count Is Ridiculous 51:35 The Filmmies 59:08 Fit Check 01:00:33 Best Quote 01:03:38 Sixth Man Award 01:08:22 Best Scene 01:14:35 MVP | |||
| Obsession | 20 May 2026 | 01:50:23 | |
I wish that whoever sees this description will listen to this episode and absolutely love it...*SNAP*. We dive deep into Curry Barker's new debut feature horror film that is taking the movie world by storm. A pretty simple concept and a small budget is more than enough for his skill to shine through on the big screen in many ways. We talk about the use of the background and shadows, the beauty of not explaining everything to us, how Michael Johnston isn't getting the love he deserves due to Inde Navarrette's performance, and much more! Hop in here and start coming up with your one wish, but be very careful on how you use it... | |||

| Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope | 06 May 2026 | 01:42:04 | |
Happy Star Wars day everyone! We celebrated by talking all about this 1977 film that started a legendary franchise that we all know and love...except for Deion who watched this movie for the very first time! This brings such a fun perspective to the discussion as he was surprised with how much he didn't know about the film with it being such a massive part of pop culture for almost 50 years. George Lucas' space epic starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher has stood the test of time and has been referenced so many times that pretty much everyone knows loosely what happens. We get into what moments still shock on a first time watch, the cast member that kept getting ditched for lunch on set, our love for everyone but Luke, and much more!

12 spaceships have placed themselves at different locations around the planet and we have been tasked with developing communication with the aliens within. Join us as we dive into this 2016 sci-fi thriller starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forrest Whitaker. The winner of our March Madness tournament, this film comes from one of the best working directors with his recognizable style on a unique approach to an alien invasion.

We fly into post WWII Japan and break down this 2023 monster movie that will obliterate your expectations! Coming out of the horror/thriller division of our Reel March Madness tournament, one of us watches it for the first time and immediately sees why it was voted for. The incredible anti-war and emotion make for an interesting film even without Godzilla, but we absolutely get some jaw dropping monster moments too. We go through the list of all of the amazingly deep characters and what they add to the film, speculate where the upcoming sequel will go, reveal what the meaning of the movie title actually is, and much more! Suit up and prepare for a fight, but don't say all of your goodbyes because we're going on this mission to come back home. | |||
| The Drama | 08 Apr 2026 | 01:48:39 | |
Join us as we reveal the worst thing we've ever done and then suffer the fallout from it with this brand new comedy drama from Kristoffer Borgli. After a very intriguing trailer with a great hook, this film was highly anticipated for us and now that it's out, it's got people talking. We talk about the Robert Pattinson & Zendaya pairing and the 2 other films coming this year with both of them, the unexpected dark subject matter blended with a comedic tone, the great setups and payoffs included throughout, and much more!

| Dallas Buyers Club (The Reel March Madness ep 1) | 01 Apr 2026 | 01:46:16 | |
We start going through experimental podcast trials as we dive into this 2013 docu-drama starring Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, & Jennifer Garner. This film won the vote in our March Madness tournament to come out of the drama division and so we delivered. We both went into this movie very blindly and it surprised us with character depth, unexpected plot turns, and raw emotion. From the great performances, earned character arcs, and clever visual style, this movie sheds light on an interesting operation that came from a serious problem in the 80s. I know it sounds good, but check with your doctor because this podcast is approved by the FDA. | |||
| Project Hail Mary | 25 Mar 2026 | 01:45:22 | |
We go up to the Petrova line to gather samples of this 2021 book turned into the brand new film that's everything the movies need! An original space story attached to end-of-the-world stakes, but coupled with a light and heartfelt tone is a unique blend we've never seen before. This is the kind of crowd pleasing movie with magical visual moments that brings people back to theatres! We get into the achievement of making us care about a faceless rock, Ryan Gosling's loveable performance, improving on the final twist, and much more. Tap in because this episode is a really fun listen about a really fun movie, statement. | |||

David Fincher continues his fascination with killers and brings his signature style and attention to detail to this dark subject matter.

Making paper is an art and we're not ready to give it up without a fight! This 2025 dark comedy is littered with visual candy and little story elements that are so fun to consider the significance of. This makes for a great conversation as we ask ourselves questions and ponder what the answers might be in what Park Chan-wook said he hoped would be his masterpiece. We get deep into each major character and how they seamlessly come together, the incredible achievement of making such a crazy story so believable, some of our favourite camera work moments, and much more!
