    See It or Skip It? - Red One

    FIRST 38:20 are a spoiler-free review with our See It/Skip It verdict AFTER 38:20 it's a full spoiler reviewThis week's See It Or Skip It has us diving into the brand-new Amazon Prime thriller Red One, a film that pairs Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans in an action-packed holiday adventure. Combining over-the-top stunts, Christmas magic, and plenty of jokes, Red One attempts to reimagine the holiday genre – but who exactly is it reimagining it for? Ian is joined by his head of security, Liam, as we unpack whether Red One delivers enough thrills and holiday cheer to captivate audiences or if it leaves viewers wondering who this film is really meant to please. Is it a family-friendly romp, an edgy action-comedy, or something awkwardly caught in between? Does Dwayne Johnson’s larger-than-life charisma mix well with Chris Evans’ charm, or do they feel mismatched? And how does the film’s tone juggle Santa Claus lore, epic battles, and heartwarming moments without losing the plot? We’ll tackle all these questions – including whether Red One truly understands its audience – as we dissect the movie and decide if you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

    See It or Skip It? - Carry-On

    FIRST 34:00 are a spoiler-free review with our See It/Skip It verdict AFTER 34:00 it's a full spoiler review This week's See It Or Skip It has us diving into the brand-new Netflix thriller Carry-On, a film that sees Taron Egerton stepping into the high-stakes world of airport paranoia and suspense. Join us as we break down this intense, edge-of-your-seat story of a TSA agent blackmailed into smuggling something dangerous onto a Christmas Eve flight. Ian is joined by Bootleg Kev as we discuss whether Carry-On delivers enough tension to keep us gripped, how Taron Egerton holds up in this darker role, how this film may have borrowed a particular action sequence aesthetic from another Taron Edgerton film, and if the plot stays airborne or crashes under the weight of its premise. Plus, Ian keeps drawing parallels to a pair of 90s action thriller classics – but which ones? We’ll answer all these questions and more as we dissect Carry-On and then tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

    WWE Survivor Series 2024: Review & Reflections

    Join Ian from Best Film Ever and Stew from The Stew World Order podcast as we break the BFE format by getting ready for war in WWE Survivor Series: War Games from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We discuss whether either War Games match actually had stakes and whether both of them even had a story. Did WWE do the right thing by having a third match in the Gunther-Damian Priest rivalry? Where does the WWE go in the aftermath of tonight's event? We also discuss how a birthday hat might not sync up with the supposed danger of the stipulation and discuss the differences between a kendo stick and a baseball bat. We'll answer all these questions on Survivor Series and give out some post-event superlatives celebrating the night's best (and worst).
