  1. The Fly (1986)

    10/16/2025

    The Fly (1986)

    Cronenberg, Goldblum, and a baboon named Typhoon star in a horror opera that "penetrates beyond the veil of the flesh." In true Cronenberg fashion, this movie is thought-provoking and gross.

    iRobot (2004)

    Robots, robots everywhere! Will Smith plays a technophobic cop investigating a murder. I do believe the gentleman doth protest too much.

  4. Ready Player One (2018)

    07/08/2025

    Ready Player One (2018)

    Willy Wonka, but with video games. It's too bad there was no unsettling scene like the tunnel ride in this movie.

  5. Swordfish (2001)

    06/19/2025

    Swordfish (2001)

    Travolta vs. Jackman, Wolverine vs. Barbarino, who will win? Swordfish is a ridiculous movie, but hey, it's fun to watch. I think that describes most Joel Silver-produced movies. We delve deep into the elite, cyberworld of Swordfish and ask, what is the obsession with claymores in this movie?

  6. Independence Day (1996)

    Independence Day (1996)

    Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

  7. The IT Crowd (2006-2013)

    04/17/2025

    The IT Crowd (2006-2013)

    What does IT stand for? No, the specific letters I and T. The IT Crowd is more than just a workplace comedy, it has entered the comedy lexicon all across the globe. Chrystal and I talk about the imprint it has left on us as we discuss our favorite moments from one of our favorite shows.

    Gamer (2009)

    Have you ever wanted to play Call of Duty, but for real? Yeah, me neither. They should make a sequel to this movie with Animal Crossing.
