Last Night in Soho
This latest film release from Edgar Wright is the kind of movie that makes me excited about movies. It is made with such vivid excitement and visceral love of film that I couldn’t help but get swept up in it. The film follows Eloise, played by a fantastic Thomasin McKenzie from Jojo Rabbit, a young…

Till Death
This 2021 thriller is currently streaming on Netflix if you have a strong stomach and an appreciation for subtle stunt work. This one was a real doozy. I enjoyed it thoroughly. nTh film opens with a very slow build. Megan Fox plays Emma Webster, a deeply unhappy wife shackled to a wealthy and powerful attorney…
-
Werewolves Within
This 2021 film is a very funny horror comedy that is more funny than horrifying. It has two very charming lead actors, a solid script, and a strong premise. Everything you need in a good horror comedy. The film follows Finn Wheeler a national park ranger played by Sam Richardson, as he journeys to the…
-
The Addams Family Values
Another delightful sequel that improves upon the original in a lot of ways while still falling prey to the classic sequel pitfall of separating your characters. What worked about the first film is here again. Raul Julia giving 1000% to the role of Gomez Addams. Anjelica Huston’s sublime turn as the ethereal Morticia. Christopher Lloyd…

The Addams Family
I haven’t seen this in 20 plus years, and boy have I been missing out. This movie was a delight. I thoroughly enjoyed the production design, the pacing, and especially the performances. This is a funny, and fun halloween movie. lI am of course discussing the live action film from 1991 not the animated film…

Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight 2
Well, they made a sequel, and I watched it. I kind of wished I hadn’t. It wasn’t bad per se, but it was extremely messy and confused. It was like watching a game of twister in which everyone was trying to touch every circle at the same time. I put this one on right away…
-
Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight
This Polish slasher currently streaming on Netflix is an odd mix. It’s bloody and disgusting. It has really strong character moments that are totally undermined by the horror elements. It has a lot of tangents and plot cul-de-sacs that don’t add much. It’s also a memorable movie that isn’t too bad if a bloody, violent,…
-
Hypnotic
This is a fairly predictable psychological thriller emphasis on the psychological part. This is a Netflix release that is pretty slick, but also formulaic You can do worse, but there are a lot better versions of this story. Jenn Thompson, is struggling to overcome past traumas. She’s played by the ever wonderful Kate Siegel. Her…
-
Train to Busan
Woohoo! A zombie movie I really liked. These are rare. This one is frightening, tense, and creepy. There’s a lot to like here even if the movie does get to be a little too nihilistic for my taste. It’s a classic set up. A workaholic father, played by Gong Yoo, takes his neglected daughter, played…
-
Dark Skies
This alien home invasion story combines some haunted house style thrills with a strong family drama that ends up being a really solid little horror movie. Released in 2013, this film stars Keri Russel as Lacy, and Josh Hamilton as Daniel, a married couple struggling since Daniel lost his job. They are trying their best…
-
Blood Fest
This 2018 horror comedy has a few good moments and some refreshing self awareness about the genre, but it’s poor writing sinks the film in the end.

Happy Halloween!
Well, it’s Halloween week, and our hosts don’t have a horror movie to discuss. We have three! In the past year we have a viewed a couple of horror films that we wanted to revisit. We take a second look at these films and see if our initial reviews hold up, what stands out to…
-
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, Dream Warriors
Well the Elm Street films are 0 for 3 in my book. This installment in the slasher series has a couple of decent elements, but is mostly terrible. My history with this series is one of deep disappointment. Having heard so much about what a great series this is, I couldn’t believe how silly the…
-
Night Teeth
Oh boy this one is forgettable. I have had to remind myself multiple times that I watched it. It’s currently streaming on Netflix, but you really don’t need to waste time on it. The basic premise is one of those secret underworld movies that wants us to believe that vampires are not only real they…
-
Double Team
An aging Jean-Claude Van Damme, a peak Dennis Rodman and a convoluted yet somehow generic spy-thriller plot did not add up to greatness. With an odd assortment of action and comedy, this week our hosts tackle one of the more confounding movies of the late 90’s. https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/n6jwz3/double_team80iuu.mp3
-
The Trip (2021)
This is one of the craziest movies I’ve seen. It is constantly twisting and turning. It zigs and zags every minute. It’s darkly funny, and shockingly frightening. It’s streaming on Netflix if you have a strong stomach. The movies opens with Aksel Hennie, playing Lars. He’s a Norwegian TV director. He appears to be a…
-
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Currently streaming on Amazon, also currently being remade by Amazon, this late 90’s slasher film is an excellent example of its time period. It is a solid story with great production value, and a lame conclusion. The film is loosely based on a 1973 novel of the same name, and it tells the story of…
-
Freaky
This is a pretty fun mashup of genres. It combines the body swap story with the slasher film. It has some good laughs and some fun horror moments, but it’s most successful due to its two leads, Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton as the body swapped duo. The film opens with a group of teens…
-
The Night Watchmen
This is a mostly junk horror comedy that has its moments, but generally settles for lowest common denominator horror and humor. To begin the movie is confused about who its main character is.

-
Halloween Kills
I hated this movie. I very rarely hate movies, but I very rarely see movies this aggressively bad. I don’t know how the director David Gordon Green looked at this film and thought “yeah, this is good. I’m going to release it to audiences.” Every bad decision that could be made was made in this…
-
A Classic Horror Story
Released over the summer on Netflix, this Italian horror film is exquisitely shot and a little too clever for its own good. The film opens Elisa, played by an excellent Matilda Lutz, as she deals with a phone call from her controlling mother. Elisa is pregnant, and she and her mother disagree on how to…

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man

-
Friday the 13th Part IV The Final Chapter
This movie caused quite a stir when it was released for its gruesome violence and abundance of blood and guts. These days, it’s very tame. It’s got nothing on any of the modern horror releases, but does it hold up in any other way? Kind of? It is a quantum leap in quality compared to…
-
Friday the 13th Part 3
Every year, I try to give one of these movies a try. I’ve never found one that was any good. These movies are terrible. However, this one achieved a level of terrible so profound that I actually had a lot of fun while watching it. If you don’t know the series, Camp Crystal Lake is…
-
Misery (book and movie)
After years of holding off until I read the book, and waiting to read until after I’ve seen the movie, I finally buckled down and read the novel and watched the movie. Oh boy they’re both great. The book and film follow the same narrative. A novelist name Paul Sheldon has been writing a series…
-
Midnight Mass
Have you ever wanted to see a two hour vampire movie stretched out to a seven hour miniseries? Do you like endless monologues? Do you want a horror show without any real scary elements? Then Midnight Mass is the show for you. A few years ago the great horror director Mike Flanagan created double hits…
-
False Positive
This Hulu original is an update on Rosemary’s Baby. It’s not very good. They took a horrifying idea and forgot to write a second act making it a very dull affair. The film follows a couple having trouble getting pregnant. The couple is played by Ilana Glazer as Lucy and Justin Theroux as Adrian. They…
-
There’s Someone Inside Your House
This is a really good teen drama, and it’s a pretty good slasher movie in the vein of scream. Now streaming on Netflix this is a pretty good way to spend your Halloween. The film opens on a high school football star returning home from school. Things seem off in the empty house, but he…
-
Ghosts of War
What started as a promising if standard haunted house story goes way off the rails and becomes one of the craziest and dumbest movies I’ve seen. If I had been in a different mood I might have loved it, but the way I saw it, it was a struggle to finish. A troop of five…
-
Fear (1996)
This week our hosts take a look at a teen thriller from 1996 starring a very young Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg. This movie has some great moments and a strong execution. It also has a really big plot twist that threatens to throw the whole thing into chaos. Check out our three minute review…
-
Arachnophobia (1990)
What a delight this movie was. It has great characters, a strong story, and genuinely terrifying conclusion. This is a horror movie for people who don’t like horror movies.

The Wind

Polaroid
Okay, stay with me through the silly premise. It sounds absurd, but it is a nice little horror movie. A group of teens find an old Polaroid SX-70 and discover that when you take someone’s photo with it a demon shows up and murders them. But trust me, it’s better than it sounds. This 2019…

The Tomorrow War
Our hosts selected a recent film this week in The Tomorrow War, released in 2021. With a blend of sci-fi action with a side of drama, this picture split our hosts’ reviews by the slimmest of margins.
-
Zardoz
This week we take a look at one of the stranger movies we’ve seen. It’s a bizarre 1974 art house science-fantasy film famous for Sean Connery’s revealing costume. We recorded outside next to a lovely campfire, so you’ll hear plenty of crickets and the crackle of the fire in the background.
-
Malignant
Oh my goodness! What a bonkers movie! This movie is absolutely bananas. It is absolutely nuts, and I kind of love it for all its absurdities. It was impossible to miss the ubiquitous trailers for this movie touting, “a new vision of terror from James Wan.” I wasn’t super excited to check this one out.…
-
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Violent, bloody, hilarious, and surprisingly heartwarming, this film is light years ahead of its predecessor. I really enjoyed this one and encourage you to check it out while you can. Written and directed by James Gunn, this film is weird kind of sequel to Suicide Squad from 2016 directed by David Ayer and bunch of…
-
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
This martial arts super hero spectacle is a lot of fun and surprisingly effective at times while being overly stuffed in other moments. The plot is full to bursting with ideas and storylines. There are a ton of characters and worlds to explore. The best parts of the film involve Shang-Chi, played by Simu Liu,…
-
Candyman (2021)
A movie with a lot on its mind, this strong horror film combines social commentary and slow burn suspense to incredible effect. This is a kind of sequel to the 1992 horror film of the same name. This is one of the most interesting sequels I’ve seen because although it hits all the notes of…
-

How We Choose

-
Fear Street 1666
From its genuinely creepy start to its slam bang finish this is a deeply satisfying and fun horror film that nicely closes out the Fear Street trilogy. Continuing the series time hopping trend, this film opens in 1666 when The town of Shadyside was little more than a Pilgrim settlement filled with sexual repression and…
-
Space Jam: A New Legacy
This is one of the worst products I’ve seen, and I call it a product instead of a movie because it serves as less of a narrative film and more of a corporate ad for other products Warner Bros. Has on offer. Space Jam follows NBA superstar LeBron James and his fictional son Dom played…
-
Gunpowder Milkshake
This film combines a fantastic aesthetic, fun action, and loads of charm to elevate this female action extravaganza. Karen Gillan stars as Sam a super assassin with abandonment issues who works for a seedy organization called The Firm. In the opening moments a job goes wrong and she’s sent on an easy mission to make…
-
Stone Cold
After a week off, our hosts return to face Brian Bosworth (aka “The Boz) in Stone Cold, a 1991 undercover cop flick where the hero, John Stone, has all the charisma of the rocks he is named for. Topping off this cinematic slog is a finale action set piece that has not aged well. Listen…
-
Black Widow
Florence Pugh and some great fight choreography help make this mashup of spy thriller and family story feel very different from most Marvel movies in a the most refreshing way. The movie takes place somewhere in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline, but don’t worry too much about that. The movie doesn’t. It follows Black Widow,…
-
Fear Street Part Two: 1978
A gory and well executed follow up just premiered on Netflix. It has strong characters a deep lore, and wild bloody horror violence. If that sounds like your cup of tea then you might have as much as I did. Picking up immediately following the first film, this sequel follows Deena and her brother Josh…
-
Fear Street: 1994
The first in a planned Netflix trilogy of horror movies this film has great style and a way over the top filmmaking aesthetic that is a lot of fun if not ever truly scary. Set in the fictional town of Shadyside in 1994, the film follows a group of teens who inadvertently incur the wrath…
-
No Sudden Move
Don Cheadle stars in this very cool very twisty turns crime thriller that has a good sense of humor and a few too many twists and turns for its own good. Don Cheadle plays Curt Goynes a man just released from prison after a heist gone wrong. He returns to Detroit in 1954 and takes…
-
F9: The Fast Saga
There’s a scene in the show The Office in which the character Kevin Pours a massive jar of M&M’s into his mouth. That’s what it feels like watching this movie. This movie jams so much crap down the audience’s throats that it just becomes painful and boring. I have a mixed history with the Fast…
-
Marked for Death
Against better judgment, our hosts were persuaded to watch a 2nd Steven Seagal film. With a plot that hasn’t aged well, Marked For Death falls flat because of a weak central pillar – Seagal himself.
-
The Old Guard
We’re updating fantasy. Last week we saw what a fantasy action film from the 80’s looked like. This week we’re taking a look at modern fantasy action. It has a big budget and graphic violence. Listen to discussion to get all our thoughts in this weeks three minute review.
-
Chinatown
Well it’s a classic for a reason. I went into this rewatch with an expectation that it wouldn’t be as good as it’s reputation, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well this cynical, slow burn of a movie holds up. Chinatown tells the story of private investigator played by Jake Gittes, played by Jack…
-
Hawk the Slayer
This week we take a look at an 80’s fantasy story involving some great fantasy concepts, fast pacing and a very fun low budget aesthetic. This charming little film won us over. Will it do the same for you? Listen below to find out.
-
Awake
The latest Netflix release feels like a worse version of a dozen different movies I’ve seen. A charming lead can’t save the movie from the films clunky and awkward execution. The film opens with Jill Adams played by the lovely Gina Rodriguez, as she finishes up her shift and steals some prescription drugs which she…
-
Masters of the Universe (1987)
There’s a lot to love/hate in this bizarre 80’s fantasy action film. It has incredible production value and a glacial. It has an amazing villain performance, and a terrible hero performance. It has great makeup work and some truly terrible makeup work. It’s a mixed bag for us. Listen to all our thoughts below.
-
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It
A strong addition to the Conjuring series that doesn’t surpass its predecessors but does offer a lot to enjoy. The film opens with a brutal and intense exorcism of a young boy named David. It took me a second to realize that David was indeed played by the cute kid from Netflix’s The Haunting of…
-
Ted Lasso
This series truly lives up to the title feel good show. It has an indomitable positivity and a true love for its characters. It made me laugh out loud every episode and brought me close to tears at times. The series follows Ted Lasso a charmingly goofy and relentlessly positive American football coach who is…
-
A Quiet Place Part II
This is a tense and wonderfully directed horror film. That lives up to its predecessor in spite of never quite matching its high points. This is a sequel to the surprise horror hit of 2018 A Quiet Place. The film begins before the events of the first film as we are shown the arrival of…
-
One from the Heart
Heading into the 1980’s Francis Ford Coppola was at the top of his game with massive critical and commercial successes in films such as The Godfather, and Apocalypse Now. He decided to open his own studio and change the way films would be made. He poured his heart, soul, and money into it. The film…
-
The Whole Truth
I was with this one until they ruined at the very end. It’s a pretty standard yet entertaining courtroom drama until the terrible finish. After allegedly murdering his father, legal prodigy Mike Lassiter, played by Gabriel Basso, refuses to speak to anyone including his attorney Richard Ramsey played by Keanu Reeves. Ramsey’s in the legal…
-
Chemical Hearts
This movie was a really pleasant surprise to discover on Amazon. The movie is a sincere and authentic depiction of young adult life. The film follows Henry Page, played by Austin Abrams, as he embarks on his senior year. He is struggling to find his voice and his perspective on the world as he becomes…
-
The Red Shoes
Released in 1948, this British classic is well regarded among film lovers for its stunning visuals, but does it hold up? The Red Shoes is a film I’ve avoided watching for years. It’s one of those film student assignments everybody knows they should watch but usually don’t because it’s reputation looms too large. Like Citizen…
-
Waterworld
Continuing our series of movies with massive budgets and minimal box office, we look at one of the biggest movies of all time. Is it any good? Is it a fun relic of days gone by? Is it worth a budget bigger than the GDP of a small country? Listen to our discussion below to…
-
Army of the Dead
This movie has a good opening, and a strong first act. But it gets worse the longer it goes on, and it goes on for a long time. By then end I was just so glad it was finally over. The movie is the latest big budget Netflix offering. Written, directed, produced, and shot by…
-
Those Who Wish me Dead
This thriller gets an A+ for execution and a C for theme amounting to a masterpiece of execution without much else. The film follows a boy named Connor played by Finn Little who goes on the run with his father after two ruthlessly efficient assassins come after him. Once he gets to Montana he encounters…
-
The Woman in the Window
If you’re looking for a beautiful looking film with great performances and a pulpy crime story, this is a great choice even if it is a little over-baked. There’s no getting around it, the film is essentially a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic, Rear Window from 1954. The story follows Amy Adams as a woman…
-
Mortal Engines
Dazzling CGI can’t cover for a weak plot that hits all the pitfalls that lurk for book adaptations. With a large budget and one of the worst rates-of-return in recent movie memory, this week our hosts dive into what exactly went wrong with Mortal Engines.
-
Top 5 Good Bad Movies

-
The Platform
This film is brutal and visceral and one of the best commentaries I’ve seen. It’s worth checking out if you have the stomach for it. This Spanish language film follows Goreng a prisoner in the most inhuman prison imaginable. It’s called the pit by the inmates and a “Vertical Self-Management Center” by those who run…
-
Street Fighter
An aversion to action, a slow pace, and one of the best villain performances ever almost make this one worth watching, but it doesn’t quite cut it for us. Listen to our three minute review below.
-
The Mitchells vs The Machines
What happens when a family of odd balls come face to face with a robot uprising while on the worst road trip ever? A heartfelt and frenetic animated movie that I had a lot of fun with. Katie Mitchell is an aspiring filmmaker who is leaving her quirky family to go to film school. After…
-
Things Heard & Seen
This movie feels like a strike out when all the bases are loaded. You want so badly for a success, but it doesn’t happen. Every element in this movie is poised for a gland slam, but it never happens. This latest Netflix release follows Amanda Seyfried and James Norton as Catherine and George a seemingly…
-
Idle Hands
This week we took a look at a 1999 stoner horror comedy that neither of us had high hopes for (no pun intended). Surprisingly both Michael and I quite enjoyed it. Check out our three minute review below.
-
Mortal Kombat (2021)
This is a bad movie, but I did have fun with it. It has a bad story, mediocre characters and truly painful dialogue. But it has inventive action and a great look. I ended up having fun with it. Based on the popular video game franchise, Mortal Kombat follows a group of fighters chosen to…
-
Stowaway
This excellent space drama from Netflix is so well made that it had me enthralled from beginning until almost the end. I have a habit of pressing on movies without knowing anything about them. I saw that Stowaway was new to Netflix. I saw Anna Kendrick and Daniel Dae Kim were in it. I hit…
-
Synchronic
This movie plays one of the silliest premises ever in the most serious way possible, and somehow it works. Synchronic is a 2019 film that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival then had to wait out a pandemic until it could get released on Netflix last week. The movie follows Steve and Dennis played…
-
Malcolm X
This is one of the most effective and visceral movies I’ve ever seen. It is a vividly realized depiction of a great man’s life anchored by an astonishing performance from Denzel Washington. A little history before we dive into the movie. Malcolm X was one of the primary figures in the Civil Rights movement of…
-
Money Plane
If you’re looking for a dumb movie that won’t be any fun to watch and will waste your time, then try Money Plane. It’s awful!
-
Spontaneous
Very dark comedy combines with a heart felt coming of age drama to incredible effect in this surprise and explosive movie. A boring math class in an average high school. Senior Mara, played by Katherine Langford, drops her pencil on the floor. She leans over to pick it up. In that moment the girl sitting…
-
Unhinged
An all in performance from Russell Crowe helps make this thriller a little less generic, but it can’t save the film entirely. Rachel is a harried mother dealing with a contentious divorce, a failing business, and a teenage son she’s struggling to raise. On top of all that she has to deal with rush hour…
-
Krull
Are you looking for an 80’s fantasy epic? Well this movie is either the worst film you’ll see all year, or a fundamental classic in the fantasy genre. We’re split on this one, check it out our discussion for all the details.
-
Thunder Force
This movie was terrible. It’s poorly conceived and executed. It has a big cast of talented people who are wasted. Somehow inspire of its lack of quality, it has a few moments I genuinely enjoyed. The movie has squanders an interesting set up through incompetence. A world in which cosmic rays bombard the earth and…
-
The Lone Ranger
Do you have almost three hours to spare on an inconsistent reboot of a 1950’s property? This might be the movie for you, but we’d recommend avoiding it.
-
Concrete Cowboy
I loved this movie. It has fascinating characters. It’s set in a really unique world that I never knew existed. It tells a classic narrative with some nice twists. I really fell for this one. This story might feel familiar, a troubled teen named Cole, played by Stranger Things’ Caleb McLaughlin, gets into a fight…
-
Minari
This beautiful little family story is full of humor, warmth, and hardship, that stumbles in the end for me. The film follows the Yi family, Korean immigrants who after working for years finally buy their own land Arkansas in the 1980’s. The way this Korean family struggles with the locals, money, and their own dreams…
-
Godzilla vs Kong
Did you want massive monster fights? You got it along with a lot of dumb stuff that nobody asked for. Thankfully there’s enough spectacle, action, and surprisingly heart to make up for it. This movie mashup is the latest installment in the “monsterverse” an attempt to duplicate Marvel superhero films success. It is the second…
-
Kong: Skull Island
Are you looking for giant monster mayhem?? Look no further. In honor of Godzilla vs Kong premiering this week we decided to take a look at Kong Skull Island what did we think of this massive monster movie listen below.
-
Nobody
Anchored by a quirky Bob Odenkirk, this is a really entertaining action movie if you like your action brutally violent and darkly comic. This is the latest entry in what I’m calling the “middle aged men you shouldn’t have messed with” genre. These are violent action thrillers about mild mannered men who are accosted in…
-
Cherry
Carried by a raw and brilliant Tom Holland performance this movie works in fits and starts. The film is based on a somewhat autobiographical novel of the same name by Nico Walker detailing his time as an Army medic, and his struggles after returning home with PTSD and an opioid addiction. Tom Holland, the current…

Good Bad Movies
There are good movies. There are bad movies. Then there are good bad movies. We watch a lot of this third category. But what you may ask makes for a good bad movie? What is our criteria for this ideal middle ground? Let’s discuss…

The Last Blockbuster
Now streaming on Netflix this highly nostalgic documentary covers the rise and fall of an industry and those who refuse to let it die. In the late 1970’s, VCR’s and VHS tapes revolutionized the way people watched movies. However the cost of a single VHS tape was so exorbitantly expensive that most people couldn’t afford…
-
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
This movie is an overly long, self indulgent, slog, but it’s also a lot better than the originally released Justice League movie. A little history for those who haven’t been following the Snyder cut saga… Zack Snyder directed Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, and he had a grand plan to complete his superhero…
