    Episode 229 - We Bury the Dead

    Oz and Curtis are heading into the scorched Australian outback, grabbing their body bags, and trying not to lose their minds in the aftermath of a catastrophe to break down the intense Survival Horror: We Bury the Dead! Ava (Daisy Ridley) is a woman desperate for closure after a catastrophic military experiment decimates the population. She joins a "body retrieval unit" in the hopes of finding her missing husband, but as she begins the grim work of collecting the deceased in the remote Tasmanian wilderness, the lines between the living and the dead begin to blur. Ava soon finds herself in a terrifying fight for survival against a mysterious force that suggests some things are better left buried. We break down the film’s suffocating atmosphere: Daisy Ridley’s raw and powerful performance, Zak Hilditch’s masterful use of the isolated Australian landscape to create dread, and the film’s unique blend of Psychological Horror and high-concept thriller. Is We Bury the Dead a modern masterpiece of the genre and a standout in Australian Cinema, or just a movie that proves that searching for closure in a wasteland is a recipe for a nightmare? Tune in for our full We Bury the Dead 2024 movie review!

    Episode 228 - Excalibur

    Oz and Curtis are donning the chrome-plated plate mail, drinking from the Grail, and hoping they don't get betrayed by their best friend or their half-sister to break down the legendary Fantasy Epic: Excalibur! Directed by John Boorman, this film traces the entire arc of the Arthurian mythos—from the brutal, mud-caked conception of Arthur (Nigel Terry) and the rise of the sword from the stone, to the glory of Camelot and the tragic fallout of the affair between Guenevere and Lancelot. Guided by a bizarre and brilliant Merlin (Nicol Williamson) and haunted by the vengeful Morgana (Helen Mirren), this is a world where the land and the king are one. We break down the film’s unique, visceral power: the blindingly shiny armor and lush Irish landscapes, the use of Richard Wagner’s O Fortuna to create maximum dramatic impact, and the incredible "Who’s Who" of British acting legends (including early roles for Liam Neeson and Patrick Stewart). Is Excalibur the greatest King Arthur movie ever made and a definitive 80s Cult Classic, or just a movie that proves being a knight involves way more sweat and family drama than the storybooks lead on? Tune in for our full Excalibur 1981 movie review! If you’re into analyzing mythic storytelling, appreciating films that embrace high-art weirdness, or listening to two dudes who would definitely accidentally drop the sword back into the lake, this episode is for you.

    Episode 227 - Soul Food

    Oz and Curtis are pulling up a chair, grabbing a massive plate of mac and cheese, and hoping they don't get caught in the crossfire of a sisterly blowout to break down the beloved Family Drama: Soul Food! For forty years, Big Mama (Iris Speed) has held her family together with her legendary Sunday dinners. But when a health crisis puts her in a coma, the long-simmering tensions between her three daughters—the successful but controlling Teri (Vanessa Williams), the dependable Maxine (Vivica A. Fox), and the struggling Bird (Nia Long)—boil over. It’s up to Maxine’s young son, Ahmad, to find a way to bring the family back to the table before their legacy crumbles. We break down why this film remains a 90s Classic: the incredible chemistry between the three leads, the raw and honest depiction of sibling rivalry, the iconic soundtrack (including that Babyface production!), and the way it celebrates Black middle-class life with nuance and heart. Is Soul Food the definitive Family Drama of its era and a must-watch Cult Classic, or just a movie that proves no one can start a fight quite like your own sisters? Tune in for our full Soul Food 1997 movie review! If you’re into analyzing character-driven storytelling, appreciating films that center on the strength of tradition, or listening to two dudes who would definitely be the first ones to grab seconds (and thirds), this episode is for you.

    Episode 226 - So I Married an Axe Murderer

    Woman! Whoa-man! Oz and Curtis are heading to the coffee house, dodging butcher knives, and trying not to cry over a giant "heed" to break down the quirky, darkly hilarious 90s Cult Classic: So I Married an Axe Murderer! Charlie Mackenzie (Mike Myers) is a San Francisco beat poet with a massive fear of commitment—usually because he finds a fatal flaw in every woman he dates. But when he meets the charming butcher Harriet Michaels (Nancy Travis), he thinks he’s finally found "the one." That is, until the evidence starts mounting that she might be a notorious "Mrs. X" serial killer who chops up her husbands. Is Charlie finally falling in love, or is he just the next item on the chopping block? We break down the film’s comedic genius: the legendary performance of Mike Myers as his own father (Stuart Mackenzie), the perfectly 90s San Francisco vibe, the incredible supporting cast (from Anthony LaPaglia to Alan Arkin), and the most quotable Poetry Slam scenes in cinema history. Is So I Married an Axe Murderer the most underrated Scottish-themed Comedy of all time, or just a movie that proves having a "giant melon" is a legitimate family burden? Tune in for our full So I Married an Axe Murderer 1993 movie review! If you’re into analyzing dark romantic comedies, appreciating the art of the 90s character actor, or listening to two dudes who would definitely panic if they found a "Honeymoon Killer" tabloid in their girlfriend's apartment, this episode is for you.

    Episode 225 - Jason's Lyric

    Oz and Curtis are putting on their best denim, practicing their poetry, and trying to heal the wounds of the past to break down the visually stunning and emotionally heavy Romantic Drama: Jason's Lyric! In the heart of Houston, Jason Alexander (Allen Payne) is a hardworking man haunted by a childhood tragedy involving his father. While he spends his life playing "his brother's keeper" to the volatile and traumatized Joshua (Bokeem Woodbine), his world is transformed when he meets Lyric (Jada Pinkett Smith). Their intense, lyrical romance offers Jason a chance at a new life, but the pull of family loyalty and street violence threatens to burn their "heaven" to the ground. We break down the film’s unique impact: the palpable, legendary chemistry between Allen Payne and Jada Pinkett Smith, Bokeem Woodbine’s terrifyingly good breakout performance, the film’s use of dreamlike cinematography, and a 90s Soundtrack that defined an era. Is Jason's Lyric the most poetic film of 90s Black Cinema and a definitive Cult Classic, or just a movie that proves you can’t save everyone, no matter how much you love them? Tune in for our full Jason's Lyric 1994 movie review!

    Episode 224 - The Princess Bride

    Oz and Curtis are brushing up on their fencing, studying the nuances of the "True Love" vs. "Mostly Dead" debate, and hoping they don't get stuck in the Fire Swamp to break down the legendary Rob Reiner masterpiece: The Princess Bride! A grandfather readies a story for his skeptical grandson about Buttercup (Robin Wright), a beautiful young woman, and Westley (Cary Elwes), the farm boy who loves her. After Westley is seemingly killed by pirates, Buttercup is betrothed to the vile Prince Humperdinck. What follows is an epic journey involving a giant, a Spanish fencing master (Mandy Patinkin), a genius kidnapper, and a Dread Pirate who is far more than he seems. We break down why this film is the gold standard for Fantasy Comedy: the sheer density of iconic one-liners, the incredible ensemble cast (including the heart of the film, Andre the Giant), the perfect blend of satire and sincerity, and the fact that Inigo Montoya’s revenge speech still gives us chills decades later. Is The Princess Bride the most quotable Cult Classic of all time and a perfect movie, or just a movie that proves "As You Wish" is the most romantic thing you can ever say to a farm boy? Tune in for our full The Princess Bride 1987 movie review! If you’re into analyzing screenwriting perfection, appreciating films that successfully mock the genres they belong to, or listening to two dudes who would definitely panic and surrender immediately to the Brute Squad, this episode is for you.

    Episode 223 - Point Break

    Oz and Curtis are waxing their boards, practicing their "I am an FBI Agent!" yells, and hoping they don't have to jump out of a plane without a parachute to break down the definitive 90s Cult Classic: Point Break! Rookie FBI agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) goes undercover in the world of Southern California surfing to catch the "Ex-Presidents," a crew of bank robbers who hit vaults with surgical precision. But as Utah gets closer to the charismatic, philosophical leader of the pack, Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), he finds himself seduced by the adrenaline, the ocean, and a lifestyle where the only rule is that there are no rules. We break down the film’s absolute perfection: Kathryn Bigelow’s kinetic, ground-breaking direction, the undeniable bromantic chemistry between Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, the incredible practical skydiving and surfing stunts, and the sheer audacity of the "foot chase" sequence. Is Point Break the greatest Bank Robbery Thriller ever made and a masterclass in Surfing Action, or just a movie that proves Gary Busey was definitely onto something with those meatball subs? Tune in for our full Point Break 1991 movie review! If you’re into analyzing action cinema that actually has a soul, appreciating films where the villain is the coolest guy in the room, or listening to two dudes who would definitely wipe out on a two-foot wave, this episode is for you.

    Episode 222 - The Hurt Locker

    Oz and Curtis are putting on the heavy suit, checking the wires (red or green?), and hoping their sniper cover is actually watching the horizon to break down the Best Picture-winning powerhouse: The Hurt Locker! Staff Sergeant William James (Jeremy Renner) is the new leader of a U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit in the heat of the Iraq War. He's talented, but he’s also a "wild man" who thrives on the adrenaline of defusing improvised explosive devices (IEDs). His reckless approach creates immediate friction with his teammates, Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Eldridge (Brian Geraghty), as they count down the days until their rotation is over—if they survive that long. We break down the film’s relentless tension: Kathryn Bigelow’s documentary-style realism, the sweaty, claustrophobic Bomb Disposal sequences that make your heart race, and the haunting central theme that for some, war isn't just a duty—it's an addiction. Is The Hurt Locker the definitive Iraq War movie and a triumph of Suspense Thriller filmmaking, or just a movie that proves the grocery store cereal aisle is actually the scariest place on Earth? Tune in for our full The Hurt Locker 2008 movie review! If you’re into analyzing masterful pacing, appreciating films that ditch "hero" tropes for gritty reality, or listening to two dudes who would definitely trip over their own feet while trying to carry a bomb suit, this episode is for you.
