The Flicky Podcast reviews the 2023 Oscar frontrunner, Everything Everywhere All At Once. John and Christopher discuss why this film ultimately fails to live up to its hype and it really boils down to one thing, the story. The boys talk about how they liked the acting, the professional filmmaking, and the smaller, quieter scenes in the film. However, the plot is messy and chaotic. John and Christopher are left feeling disappointed after looking forward to seeing the movie.

The Flicky Podcast is back with a review of The Banshees of Inisherin, a film that is nominated for 9 Academy Awards. Both John and Christopher are fans of Martin McDonagh's work and were looking forward to viewing his latest film. They discuss their admiration for McDonagh's growth as a visual storyteller, the film's cinematography, the acting, and the dialogue. However, Christopher differs with John in how the plot was executed. 

Two episodes in a week? Is the world ending? The Flicky Podcast is back and they're beginning to review the awards circuit. They start with Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, and the flick is several tiers below the original. John and Christopher criticize the lack of character development, convoluted mystery, and cartoonish villain. Even though it has entertaining moments, the film's lack of heart seeps through every scene. The boys can't look past the film's plot holes, weak characters, and lack of Benoit Blanc.
 
NOTE: John named the file for this episode ASS ONION...tells you everything you need to know about his opinion. 

The Flicky Podcast is back with a review of the cultural touchstone: The Sound of Music. Christopher has been telling John for years that he hates this film, but as the episode unfolds...he learns that he is really apathetic to the movie. John learns just how huge the movie was, and how many popular songs originated from it, and they discuss how it's professionally made with a low-stakes story. They discuss how weak 1965 was a weak year in film, how underrated Robert Wise is, and come away with muted feelings about The Sound of Music.

The Flicky Podcast is back and is ready to spread post-Christmas jeer. Their target this week is the first sequel in the Die Hard franchise: Die Hard 2. Huge fans of the first, John and Christopher discuss how this was a lazy attempt to cash in on the success of the original. It is everything Die Hard is not: stupid, surface, two-dimensional, and unimpressive. The boys are shocked by the reviews it received and how it didn't kill off the series.

The Flicky Podcast reviews The Holiday only after Christopher complains about Pentatonix, shares a story about the pleasures of using mass transit, discloses how he's become obsessive about Talking Heads, and quizzes John on 70s cinema. The boys finally discuss how The Holiday has a solid starting point, only to fall apart by the end due to bad pacing, little character development, and a plot that doesn't know what the main story is. John and Christopher recognize its likability and charm despite the film's glaring flaws. They pose important questions about The Holiday: Is it a Christmas, or holiday, movie at all and what is this movie even about?
