    The Matrix (1999)

    Just before we reunite with Keanu for a surprising new Matrix film, Courtney goes down the rabbit hole for her first viewing of the groundbreaking original — 1999’s The Matrix! Courtney feels more validated than ever about simulation theory; we gush about Keanu Reeves; Courtney decides if she would take the red pill or blue pill; and we discuss the movie’s remarkable storytelling and execution, industry-altering style and visual effects, and status as one of the most culturally-resonant movies of the last 30 years.

    Our trip on the Hogwarts Express comes to an end with the two-part finale, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2! We discuss the interesting pacing issues when one movie is all set-up and another is all pay-off, we relitigate Arthur Weasley’s DILF standing, we give our fan castings for a Harry Potter HBO Max reboot, and we bid farewell to our weeks-long project of following these beloved characters to the teary-eyed finale.

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) & The Half-Blood Prince (2009)

    We’re in the back half of our Harry Potter marathon heading into the finale with 2007’s Order of the Phoenix and 2009’s The Half-Blood Prince! Ryan Chollet joins us for our in-depth discussions: Is Luna Lovegood Q’Anon? Will we ever agree on Arthur Weasley’s DILF status? Why are Courtney and Ryan Pitfull fans? Is Gary Oldman the best thing to happen to these movies? Above all, we praise the performances and striking cinematography of two strong (but understandably lacking) adaptations that continue to deepen the emotions and stakes of the Harry Potter story.

    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) & the Goblet of Fire (2005)

    We continue our rewatch of the Harry Potter series as we graduate into the “darker” Potter films — 2004’s The Prisoner of Azkaban and 2005’s The Goblet of Fire! Special guest Ryan Chollet again joins us as we hit all the highlights: dissecting Azkaban’s time travel; noting how the Hogwarts staff regularly and carelessly places their students in harm’s way; we get sidetracked on how the wizard global economy functions; we are forever confused at Michael Gambon’s performance as Dumbledore; and we praise how the films step up their game with performances, cinematography, and dramatic stakes, even as they strain at times adapting so many pages into 2.5 hour movies.

  5. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) & the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

    11/02/2021

    Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) & the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

    We’re taking the journey through Platform 9 3/4 and revisiting the first two installments of Harry Potter, more affectionately known as The Columbus Years: 2001’s The Sorcerer’s Stone and 2002’s The Chamber of Secrets! Special guest Ryan Chollet joins us as we detail our relationship with the Potter books and movies (including Courtney’s suspicious avoidance of Potter growing up…); we wonder why a school for children is constantly life-threatening and debate the DILF-status of Arthur Weasley; and we discuss the difficulties of adapting these books into movies—resulting in odd pacing and bland cinematography, yet successfully establishing the world and a cinematic foundation for one of the most popular film franchises of the last 25 years.

    Casino Royale (2006)

    Just in time for his final outing, Courtney watches Daniel Craig’s first Bond film that reinvented the character and reenergized the franchise — 2006’s Casino Royale! Courtney gets a history refresher in the 007 franchise; we share our own Bond fan castings; we mull over our own poker shortcomings and why we’re bad at gambling; and we praise how the film, despite some odd pacing, smartly reintroduces this iconic character with a fresh, compelling performance from Daniel Craig at its center.

  7. Spider-Man 2 (2004)

    09/30/2021

    Spider-Man 2 (2004)

    Frequent guest Ryan Chollet joins us to revisit a crucial milestone in the rise of comic book movies, and a perfect encapsulation of the what the superhero genre has to offer: Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2! We praise Raimi’s ability to balance a story brimming with pathos and heart with spectacular, show-stopping set pieces; we reflect on Tobey Maguire’s performance and characterization versus the several Spider-Men we’ve had since; and examine the elements that make Spider-Man such a relatable and enduring character for nearly 60 years.

    The Terminator (1984) & Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

    It’s a double feature as Courtney watches two of the most iconic and influential action/sci-fi movies of the last 40 years — The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day! We discuss the lean, economical storytelling of James Cameron’s original recipe Terminator and the big-budget spectacle and revolutionary digital effects of its sequel; Courtney discovers these movies are about robots and time travel; and we dissect the legacy of these movies, including the many failed Terminator sequels and whether this duology lives up to the hype.
