Plenty of readers have countless books on their shelves that they've never even begun to read. What this podcast presupposes is, what if Movie people are the same? Justin and Hayley have a shared background working in retail in the late 2000s, during the prime era of the discount DVD bin. Now the radio hosts are finally getting around to the movies they own that have come to own them. That, plus getting side-tracked by current hyper-fixations and talking about all the other movies they've been seeing of late. Watching the movies we bought and forgot! It's ADHD-DVD.

    The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

    "I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to hear such podcasts. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is whether to twist and ka-chunk the cruciform keys given to us." That's right baby, we're back! In an episode they're calling "severely delayed by illness, auditions and the Olympics" we're opening up the doors to the vault and inducting Peter Jackson's 2001 classic The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring into the podcast canon, fresh on the heels of its 25th anniversary theatrical re-release. Fellowship was directed by Peter Jackson, written by Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens (off the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien) and stars Elijah Wood, Ian McKellan, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Sean Bean, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, John Rhys-Davies, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Liv Tyler, and Andy Serkis. It's a movie that J Mo has now seen seven times in theaters, and one Hayley recently got engaged while in the middle of watching, so suffice to say this is a very special movie for both of us. We talk all about that and more, so get into it! No clue when we'll be back, but thanks for sticking with us, we love you.

    A Few Good Men

    This week, we honour the memory of a very good man as we reconvene to finally discuss a movie that had been in our on-deck circle well before this past week's tragedy -- a movie that fits very snuggly within our wheelhouse as a very Tom Cruise and When Harry Met Sally...-centric podcast, and we'll be up front about that because you can handle the truth. It's 1992's A Few Good Men, directed by Rob Reiner, written by Aaron Sorkin, and starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Pollak, J.T. Walsh, James Marshall, Wolfgang Bodison, Xander Berkeley, Noah Wyle, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Christopher Guest. Sorkin, adapting his own stage play, feels capable of keeping some of his most annoying lib tendencies in check than he is today (even if they do poke through in points), and Cruise and Nicholson both do a great job of making his dialog sound like they're coming out of the mouths of real people, which we know is no small feat. A great movie, and another example of Reiner's ability to play in any sandbox as a master of any genre he chose to take on, in this case a paranoid legal thriller. It's also been a minute since we last spoke, so we've got a lot of a theatrical field trips to report on, with reviews of Bugonia, Wake Up Dead Man!, The Running Man, Die My Love, Keeper, Predator: Badlands and Train Dreams. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, A Few Good Men is not currently streaming or rentable in Canada, but you can purchase it on Amazon and YouTube, or find a good copy on VHS at the thrift, just like Hayley did. Other works discussed on this episode include LOST, Stranger Things, Best In Miniature, Materialists, Eddington, Freaky Tales, Glass Onion, Prey, A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion, and Freakier Friday. We'll be back some time in the new year talking about lord knows what, but keep an eye on our Instragram for all the latest. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

    Scream (1996)

    Do you like scary movies?? We do! Hayley's got the keys to the canon vault this month, and uses her power to induct an all-time classic VHS slasher, one of the best spooky season movies of all time! It's 1996's Scream, directed by Wes Craven, written by Kevin Williamson, and starring Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courtney Cox, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Jamie Kennedy, Drew Barrymore and Henry Winkler. We've also got a theatrical field report on the very mixed bag that is Tron: Ares and I think you can guess which host paid to see that! I'll write more copy later. For now, here's the episode.

    Resident Evil (2002)

    This week, it's one zombie battle after another as we talk two big movies from the two big Paul Andersons... it's 2002's Resident Evil, written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Colin Salmon, Eric Mabius, James Purefoy and Martin Crewes. It's a movie that J Mo specifically picked up to do a whole parody of the PTA theme month we did last year (a "P.W.S.Autumn" if you will), so it's only fitting that we actually spend the bulk of this episode talking about Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, an absolutely stunning cinematic achievement and the best movie of 2025. Meanwhile, Hayley has caught Weapons not once but twice since we last spoke, and we use that as a springboard to look ahead at what we'd like to see from Zach Cregger's next project, as he tries to be true to the gameplaying experience of the original Resident Evil games. All that plus theatrical field reports from Justin on The Conjuring: Last Rites and The Long Walk! If you'd like to watch Resident Evil before listening along to our discussion, it can currently be found streaming in Canada on Netflix, Paramount+ and Hollywood Suite at the time of publication, while One Battle After Another is of course now in theaters. Other works discussed in this episode include Barbarian, Insidious: The Red Door, Alien: Romulus, Rye Lane, Carlito's Way, Licorice Pizza, Sinners, Inherent Vice, The Big Lebowski, 28 Days Later, Night of the Living Dead, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, and of course, as always, LOST. We'll be back in two weeks time with another Halloween-themed horror selection, but what this is we don't yet know, so keep your eyes peeled to our social accounts on Instagram and BlueSky to find out! Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

    The Naked Gun (2025), with Matt Pollock

    This week, we're back and we brought a friend, as we head back to the cinema for another In Theaters Now edition of the podcast, and bring returning favourite Matt Pollock (@mattysmovies4ever) along with us for the relaunch of a movie that was a childhood fave of both Justin and Matty, but is all new to Hayley, our resident Lonely Island obsessive... It's 2025's The Naked Gun, directed by Akiva Schaffer, written by Akiva Schaffer, Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, and starring Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Danny Huston, CCH Pounder, and pod favourite Kevin Durand, with a slew of cameos along the way as well. While it would be foolish to doubt that the man who made Popstar or Hot Rod would be ill equipped to handle a Naked Gun relaunch, it seems just as foolish to believe a legacy remake of a classic 80s comedy property could possibly be good, or a good idea. As it turns out, this one is great, skewering north of two decades' worth of action films that have gone largely unspoofed, while (fingers crossed) reviving the concept of the Big Summer Comedy altogether. Like a 100-layer lasagna of laughter, there is an unprecedented joke density to this script, and they nearly all land right in the ribs. An incredibly funny film from start to finish, the convergence of two of the pod's great loves, we simply had to discuss it. And of course, while this whole episode is covering a movie currently in theaters, we've also got Theatrical Field Reports on Superman, Fantastic Four: First Steps, Weapons, and Eddington! If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, it's currently showing at your local multiplex but will likely find its way to Paramount+ roughly five weeks from now. Other works discussed on this episode include Airplane!, MacGruber, Happy GIlmore 2, Bad Trip, Anchorman, Wedding Crashers, Kingsman: The Secret Service, the original Naked Gun trilogy, Snack Shack, the Ed Helms Vacation lega-sequel, Funny People, Tropic Thunder, Pineapple Express and more, I don't know, I can't list them all off, I'm on my own Vacation currently (sans Ed Helms). We'll be back next month doing who knows what, but it will definitely be a more regular release schedule than what we've had of late. Thanks for bearing with us, we appreciate and love you all. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

    Superman (1978)

    This week, with the new DCU relaunched under the watchful eye of James Gunn, we take it all the way back to not just the dawn of DC Comics on the silver screen, but what is really the grand daddy of all superhero films period. It's 1978's Superman, directed by Richard Donner, and starring Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, Marlon Brando, Ned Beatty, Jackie Cooper, Glenn Ford, Phyllis Thaxter and Valerie Perrine. It is the homework that countless films over the years have copied off of, and combine that with its vintage 70s special effects and a rather tumultuous production, does it still hold up all these years later? You'll have to listen for our thoughts on a movie surprisingly neither host had ever seen in full. Plus: J Mo's got theatrical field reports on Jurassic World Rebirth and Materialists, and Hayley's hyper-fixating on home makeover TV. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, Superman is currently streaming on HBO Max in the US and Crave here in Canada at the time of publication. Other works discussed in this episode include Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Friendship, Heart Eyes, The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, La La Land, Christine, Rock The Block, Battle on the Beach, Renovation Resort, and Best in Miniature. We'll be back... possibly as soon as next week? Who knows! Talking about who knows what film. And until then we'll see you at the movies!!

    The Accountant 2

    This week, the numbers man is back and this time he's brought his brother, as we go back to our roots by revisiting the brand new sequel for a movie we first covered nearly three years ago! It's 2025's The Accountant 2, directed by Gavin O'Connor and starring Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, J.K. Simmons, Daniella Pineda, Alison Wright and Robert Morgan. Anna Kendrick does not return for this one, but the movie aptly fills the void left by her absence by letting the Wolff Boys bro out for the bulk of the run-time this time around, and Bernthal is particularly outstanding in what is pure, uncut Dudes Rock cinema. Does the story make sense? Does it even matter? As the original found second life on TV and streaming, this nine-years-later sequel has been built to fill a three-hour programming block on cable in the not-so-distant future. The plot is needlessly complicated and hard to follow, but frankly none of that matters and the film is still fun as hell. Plus: we catch up on some recent theatrical outings, including Thunderbolts*, Bring Her Back, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Friendship and Clown in a Cornfield. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, The Accountant 2 is already available to stream on Amazon Prime despite the fact that it dropped in theaters a month and a half ago. Other works discussed on this episode include Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Dick Tracy, Top Gun, The NeverEnding Story, Crimes of the Future, Talk To Me, Tucker & Dale vs Evil, Hot Fuzz, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, Dog Man, Point of No Return and many more! We'll be back before too long, but we don't know when or what movie we'll be talking about, so keep your eye on our Instagram and BlueSky feeds for more. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

    Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

    This week, we say goodbye to one of the greats, as a film franchise that has consistently brought the goods over the last three decades bids a fond farewell in what we trust is its last installment. Yes, it's 2025's Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie and starring Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Henry Czerny, Angela Bassett, Rolf Saxon, Holt McCallany, Nick Offerman, Greg Tarzan Daniels, Shea Whigham, Hannah Waddingham, Katy O'Brian and Tramell Tillman. Two years after we did it the first time with Dead Reckoning: Part One, we are once again opening up the pearly gates of the ADHD-DVD Canon and letting a new Mission: Impossible waltz right in while it's still in theaters. No surprise of course if you've listened to even one episode of this show as we find a way to shoehorn this franchise into seemingly every conversation, and despite the mixed reviews for this movie (just like Dead Reckoning), would you believe that we loved it? The stunts remain exceptional, with two of the absolute best sequences the series has ever staged. It may spend a bit too much time in the early-going looking back at the history of the franchise, but frankly these films have earned the right to do that. They are good enough, it is a history worth celebrating. And we've got an hour+ of thoughts breaking it all down, and we close it out with our updated M:I Power Rankings. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, and we highly recommend that you do, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is of course available in theaters the world over at the time of publication, and is likely about five months from being permanently streamable on Paramount+, if we had to guess. No other films discussed this week, barring brief digressions here and there. We're laser focussed on just this movie, we'll do a full catch-up of all the theatrical outings we've had next time we get together. Who knows when that will be, or what movie we'll be discussing, but watch this space for more. We hope it's not too long from now, and don't worry, we haven't forgotten about The Accountant 2. We've just been busy. Until next time, we'll see you at the movies!!
