    "Challengers," "The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed"

    We just have two movies this week, but they're fun ones. The first is Luca Guadagnino's Zendaya tennis movie "Challengers," and then the indie "The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed.
    The reason we have just two movies this week? Because we have our special in-person 400th show next week. Live from Los Angeles!

    "Abigail," "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," "Some Like It Hot"

    Hey, shhh ... she's a vampire! We discuss the horror/heist movie "Abigail," and then dig into yet another Guy Ritchie movie, "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Behavior."
    We go frmo those two movies to an all-time classic, the Billy Wilder/Marilyn Monroe/Jack Lemmon/Tony Curtis farce "Some Like It Hot."

    "Civil War," "Sasquatch Sunset," "The People's Joker"

    It's a big art/blockbuster movie! It's A24, so it's art? But it's a big hit so it's a blockbuster? It's so confusing, so we try to get to the bottom of Alex Garland's "Civil War." Then, we discuss a movie with Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough as Bigfeet in "Sasquatch Sunset." And then it's Vera Drew's festival hit "The People's Joker."

    "Monkey Man," "The Beast," "Girls State"

    Sorry we took another week off, but we're back to our weekly shows. We've got three fun ones this week! First, it's Dev Patel's actioner "Monkey Man." Then it's the French science fiction drama "The Beast," with Lea Seydoux. And we close with the Apple TV documentary "Girls State," a "companion" film to 2020's "Boys State." Fun movies to talk about this week. Also, Will insults Florida a bit.

    "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire," "Road House," "Immaculate"

    After a week off, we are back! (And then we have another week off next week. Sorry. Both Leitch's fault.) We've got good ones to discuss, though. Well, meaty ones, anyway. First, it's another Ghostbusters movie, "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire." Then it's the Doug Liman straight-to-video remake "Road House." And we close with the Sydney Sweeney nun movie, "Immaculate."

    2024 Oscars Recap, "Love Lies Bleeding," "Ricky Stanicky"

    Hey, we stayed up to talk about the Oscars and posted it right afterwards. Aren't you proud of us? We deserve your praise! Anyway, a big night for "Oppenheimer," and Emma Stone, and "The Zone of Interest," and Cord Jefferson, and John Cena.
    We talk about two new movies too: It's Rose Glass' "Saint Maud" follow-up with Kristen Stewart, "Love Lies Bleeding." Then it's a Peter Farrelly movie, "Ricky Stanicky."
