    The Princess Bride

    Inconceivable! This week, The Princess Bride. Rob Reiner’s classic film full of action, adventure, pirates, giants, sword fights and yes even a little kissing. A staple of my childhood that has grown more beloved over time: its sincere embrace of love and friendship, its playful deconstruction of heroic myths, and the way its humour never undercuts its heart is what cements this into a classic. It’s an episode about storytelling itself the kind passed down, rewatched, and recited by heart ending, of course, as all great love stories should...as you wish.

    Inglourious Basterds (Re-Release)

    This week Inglourious Basterds, A year ago I released this episode. A historical fiction film that despite its reimagining elements convey the very dark truth of fascism, its victims, villains and the people who chose to stay silent for their own comfort. You'll hear me talking about what was the upcoming Canadian election, and the beginnings of Trump and his Goon Squad administration. The dog whistles were always there. Yesterday VA ICU RN Alex Pretti was executed on camera by federal agents. The administration is actively lying about the murder despite the fact the footage is available for us to see. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, ⁠1984⁠

    One Battle After Another

    It’s all ocean waves this week because Brian returns for One Battle After Another. We unpack the film’s urgent political and cultural themes, drawing clear parallels between its story and what’s happening in America right now. The cycles of division powdered by racism and control that lead to constant ideological warfare. Teyana Taylor’s magnetic performance is truly one of the best of the year, Sean Penn’s volatile intensity cements him as one of the great movie villains, and Chase Infinity’s first film role 🤯 INCREDIBLE. We also dive into Leonardo DiCaprio, and how his performance feels a little phoned in compared to the rest of the cast. The episode wraps with our thoughts on the Best Actor Oscar conversation, and who truly deserves the spotlight this year.  Make sure to follow Brian instagram & Tik Tok.

    Heat

    This week I get all the way up in  Michael Mann’s 1995 crime epic Heat. I am joined by Drew, aka Mr. Movie Guy from TikTok. We break down the legendary performances from Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, and why their shared scenes have become some of the most iconic moments in film history. We also talk about Pacino’s bold, operatic choices and dare we say ❄️ inspired versus De Niro’s cool minimalism, and how that contrast elevates the film far beyond a standard. The conversation turns to Heat’s puzzling legacy with the Academy, discussing how such an ambitious, technically masterful, and emotionally complex film went largely undervalued during awards season, despite its influence and staying power.

    Wicked: For Good

    Kicking off Season 2 with Wicked: For Good. Returning to oz with us is Blake, isn’t it WONDERFUL?! 💚🩷 A fellow theatre kid to help me unpack this one. We had sky-high expectations going into the film. We deep how the film stacks up against the beloved stage musical, what translated beautifully, what surprised us, and where we it fell short. We break down our favourite moments, and the changes we wish had been handled differently. Ultimately, the conversation turns to the film’s strong Glinda-fixation, how it reshapes the story’s balance, impacts Elphaba’s arc, and what that means for the heart of Wicked.

    The Muppet Christmas Carol

    This week, we’re getting festive with a deep dive into The Muppet Christmas Carol, joined by returning guest Mike Moroz. We talk about the pure fun of the Muppets, their sharp and timeless humour, and the powerful nostalgia that makes this version so beloved. Beyond the jokes and songs, there is a surprisingly deep emotional and moral messaging at the heart of the film and why it remains one of the most faithful and effective adaptations of Dickens’ classic. We also discuss how it serves as an incredible gateway for kids to engage with classic literature, blending warmth, accessibility, and storytelling in a way only the Muppets can.
