    Ep 96 - Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)

    Hasta la vista, baby! Terminator 2: Judgment Day isn't just one of the greatest sequels ever made—it is widely considered one of the greatest action movies of all time. James Cameron took everything that made The Terminator work and made it bigger, more emotional, more ambitious, and absolutely unforgettable. In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Terminator 2: Judgment Day, looking at James Cameron's incredible direction, Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic return as the T-800, Linda Hamilton's legendary transformation as Sarah Connor, and Robert Patrick's terrifying T-1000. We'll talk about the groundbreaking visual effects, incredible practical stunts, unforgettable action sequences, Brad Fiedel's iconic score, and why the T-1000 changed visual effects forever. From the Galleria Mall chase and the mental hospital escape to the legendary Cyberdyne assault and the devastating finale, T2 delivers some of the greatest action sequences ever put on screen. We'll also discuss John Connor, played by Edward Furlong, the emotional relationship between John and the T-800, Skynet, Judgment Day, and whether Terminator 2 actually surpasses the original. Is Terminator 2: Judgment Day the greatest action sequel ever made? Is it James Cameron's masterpiece? And after more than 30 years, does T2 still hold up as the gold standard for blockbuster filmmaking?

    Ep 95 - The Terminator (1984)

    “I’ll be back.” Before Terminator 2: Judgment Day became one of the biggest action movies of all time, James Cameron introduced audiences to a much darker, leaner, and more terrifying sci-fi thriller: The Terminator. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the unstoppable T-800, The Terminator follows Sarah Connor as she becomes the target of a machine sent back through time to prevent the future leader of humanity from ever being born. With Kyle Reese sent back to protect her, a relentless battle for survival begins. In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into The Terminator (1984), breaking down James Cameron's incredible direction, Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic performance, Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor, Michael Biehn's Kyle Reese, and the low-budget filmmaking that helped create one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made. We'll talk about the film's incredible practical effects, the terrifying stop-motion sequences, Brad Fiedel's iconic score, the time travel paradox, and why the T-800 remains one of cinema's greatest villains. We'll also explore how The Terminator perfectly blends science fiction, horror, action, and romance. Is The Terminator still one of the greatest sci-fi action movies ever made? Does the original hold up against the massive spectacle of Terminator 2? And is Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-800 more terrifying here than in any other movie in the franchise?

    Ep 94 - The Incredibles (2004)

    Before the superhero movie genre completely took over Hollywood, Pixar gave us The Incredibles—a superhero movie that somehow manages to be an incredible family film, action movie, comedy, and superhero adventure all at once. Directed by Brad Bird, The Incredibles follows the Parr family as they try to live normal lives after superheroes are forced into retirement. But when Bob Parr, aka Mr. Incredible, gets the chance to return to action, he soon finds himself facing the dangerous and unforgettable Syndrome. In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into The Incredibles, breaking down its incredible animation, action sequences, humor, characters, and why it remains one of Pixar's most beloved films. We'll talk about Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Violet, Dash, and baby Jack-Jack, as well as the incredible villain Syndrome and his unforgettable plan. We'll also discuss the film's surprisingly mature themes surrounding family, identity, aging, and what happens when people are forced to hide who they truly are. More than 20 years later, does The Incredibles still hold up as one of the greatest animated movies ever made? And is it actually one of the best superhero movies—animated or live-action?

    Ep 93 - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)

    Harrison Ford puts on the fedora one final time as Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. After the divisive Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Indy returns for another globe-trotting adventure involving Nazis, ancient history, a mysterious artifact, and a race against time. This time, Indy is joined by his goddaughter Helena Shaw, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, as they search for the legendary Antikythera, a device capable of changing the course of history. But with former Nazi scientist Jürgen Voller hot on their trail, Indy finds himself pulled into one final adventure. In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, looking at Harrison Ford's performance, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Helena Shaw, Mads Mikkelsen's villain, the action sequences, de-aging technology, CGI, and James Mangold's attempt to close out one of cinema's most iconic franchises. We'll talk about the opening World War II sequence, the motorcycle chase, the underwater wreckage, the Antikythera, the time-travel elements, and that absolutely bonkers third act. We'll also discuss whether Dial of Destiny feels like a genuine Indiana Jones adventure or simply another attempt to keep a beloved franchise alive. Does Dial of Destiny give Indiana Jones the ending he deserves? Is Harrison Ford's final adventure worthy of the character's legacy? And can it finally make us forget about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

    Ep 92 - Nimona (2023)

    What happens when a knight is framed for a crime he didn't commit and the only person willing to help him is a chaotic, shape-shifting teenager? You get Nimona—one of Netflix's most creative, funny, heartfelt, and surprisingly emotional animated movies. Based on the graphic novel by ND Stevenson, Nimona blends fantasy, science fiction, comedy, action, and genuine emotional storytelling into a story about identity, acceptance, friendship, and challenging the systems that tell us who we're supposed to be. In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Nimona, looking at its animation style, humor, action sequences, characters, voice performances, and surprisingly mature themes. We'll talk about Nimona herself, Ballister Boldheart, Ambrosius Goldenloin, the futuristic medieval world, and the film's exploration of identity and acceptance. We'll also discuss the movie's journey from a cancelled Blue Sky Studios project to a Netflix release, the incredible voice cast, and why Nimona became such a pleasant surprise for animation fans. Is Nimona one of Netflix's best animated movies? Does it deserve to be mentioned alongside modern animated classics like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse? And why does this seemingly goofy animated adventure hit so much harder than expected?

    Ep 91 - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

    Nearly 20 years after The Last Crusade, Harrison Ford finally returned as Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Steven Spielberg was back behind the camera, George Lucas was back with a new story, and Indy was ready for another adventure—but this time, the Nazis were replaced by Cold War-era Soviets, ancient artifacts gave way to aliens, and the infamous Crystal Skull took center stage. In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, looking at Harrison Ford's return as Indiana Jones, Shia LaBeouf as Mutt Williams, Cate Blanchett as Irina Spalko, and Karen Allen's return as Marion Ravenwood. We'll talk about the infamous nuclear fridge scene, the jungle chase, the monkey sequence, the CGI, the infamous swinging monkeys, and—of course—the movie's controversial alien and interdimensional beings storyline. We'll also discuss whether the film captures the spirit of the original Indiana Jones trilogy or feels like a product of its time. Was Kingdom of the Crystal Skull unfairly hated? Is it actually a fun Indiana Jones adventure buried underneath some questionable CGI and story choices? Or did the franchise finally go one adventure too far?

    Ep 90 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

    After the dark and divisive Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones returned to the spirit of Raiders of the Lost Ark for one final adventure with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas at the helm. But this time, Indy isn't going it alone. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade introduces Sean Connery as Henry Jones Sr., giving us one of the greatest father-and-son duos in blockbuster history. In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, breaking down Harrison Ford's return as Indiana Jones, Sean Connery's unforgettable performance as his father, the incredible chemistry between the two, and why this sequel is considered by many fans to be one of the best entries in the entire franchise. We'll talk about the search for the Holy Grail, the Nazi villains, the opening sequence featuring a young Indiana Jones, the Venice boat chase, the tank battle, and the iconic leap of faith. We'll also discuss John Williams' legendary score, the practical effects, and whether The Last Crusade successfully brought the original Indiana Jones trilogy to a perfect conclusion. Is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade the best Indiana Jones sequel? Does it rival Raiders of the Lost Ark? And is this the perfect ending to Indy's original trilogy?

    Ep 89 - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

    After the massive success of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas took Indiana Jones in a much darker, stranger, and more controversial direction with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. From the unforgettable opening in Club Obi Wan to the terrifying Temple of Kali and the legendary mine cart chase, this prequel is unlike any other movie in the franchise. In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, breaking down Harrison Ford's performance as Indiana Jones, Steven Spielberg's darker direction, the incredible practical effects, John Williams' iconic score, and some of the most memorable action sequences in the entire series. We'll talk about Willie Scott, Short Round, Mola Ram, the infamous heart-ripping scene, the Thuggee cult, and whether Temple of Doom deserves its reputation as the darkest and most divisive Indiana Jones movie. We'll also discuss how the film helped contribute to the creation of the PG-13 rating and why its darker tone still stands out decades later. Is Temple of Doom an underrated adventure classic? Or is it the weakest chapter in the original Indiana Jones trilogy?
