A.Ron and Jim saw Jackie Chan’s return to action form in The Foreigner, a Taken-esque revenge film where a grieving father takes it upon himself to avenge the death of his beloved daughter at the hands of IRA bombers.  It’s great...

Jim and A.Ron went to see Bladerunner 2049 tonight, what did they think?  A.Ron thinks it’s amazing, absorbing, and needs multiple viewings to unravel all of it’s mysteries, while Jim thinks the same but wishes they’d cut about 20...

Special thanks to Ethan and Allison for commissioning Batman Begins, the first in the Nolanverse Batman trilogy (you can see our podcast on Batman: The Dark Knight here).  This is a fantastic comic book movie that also happens to...

Jim and A.Ron have seen the latest Tom Cruise vehicle, American Made, and it’s pretty good!  If you haven’t seen the past three seasons of Narcos or a “hey, it’s fun to watch charming people do really bad things until the third...

A.Ron and Cecily file a belated report on the smash hit horror movie based on the best selling Stephen King novel of the same name, “IT”.  Please enjoy our spoiler free review, but if you want our spoiler filled complete analysis of the film,...

Special thanks to Steven Sprague, celts77, Laura Hamilton, ztziemke, and Don C for commissioning this podcast, on the 1992 Quintin Tarantino crime drama, Reservoir Dogs.  We discuss the writing, the performances, our opinions on the true...

Jim and A.Ron saw Kingsman: The Golden Circle tonight, and pronounce it stupid, but fun.  Maybe ever so slightly less stupid than the first one, but also maybe not reaching quite the dizzying heights of crazy either.  But everyone in the...

Jim and A.Ron have seen Darren Aronofsky’s newest film, Mother!, and A.Ron hates it while Jim isn’t sure.  But it’s rated 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, so don’t let us put you off it.  It’s a piece of art, and it makes you feel...

We have seen The Dark Tower, being the latest attempt to adapt the works of Stephen King to the big screen.  How did it fair?  Well… Neither of us have read the novel series that the movie is based on, which seemed to be a plus,...

We saw the new action spy thriller Atomic Blonde tonight, starring Charlize Theron and James McAvoy.  We give universal praise to the action and the stars for delivering great performances and believable stunt work.  The visual...

We’ve seen Christopher Nolan’s new film, the war epic Dunkirk, and found it hard to immediately react to.  It’s a very visceral, claustrophobic, unflinching, and moving film, epic in scale, but equally effective in zooming in to...

Special thanks to our twin commissioners, Steven S. and Mozbeet for commissioning one of my very favorite films, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, directed by Peter Weir and based on the Patrick O’Brian series that is my very...

Hello, true believers! We have seen Spider-Man: Homecoming, and we pronounce it good.  Really, really good.  It’s kind of amazing how Marvel seems incapable of making anything less than a top level comic book film, and do...

Jim and I got to see Edgar Wright’s newest action/comedy/musical, Baby Driver.  And it’s glorious.  Jim calls it the most entertaining movie of the year.  High praise.  I was blown away by the nerdy charm and magnetism of...

For this week’s commissioned podcast, we got to watch one of the many great collaborations between Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, the 2010 psychological thriller, Shutter Island.  While neither of us think this movie cracks the top...

Jim and A.Ron checked out the summer action/horror/Tom Cruise vehicle, The Mummy.  A.Ron thinks it’s dumb, but fun, and draws comparisons to Stargate, American Werewolf in London, Hellboy, and League of Extraordinary...

Special thanks to DrKen (previous commissioner of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) for commissioning this great thriller from the 90’s, The Fugitive, starring Harrison Ford as brilliant doctor wrongfully accused of the murder of his wife...
