  1. The Silence of the Lambs

    6D AGO

    The Silence of the Lambs

    It's time for some quid pro quo, we tell you things about The Silence of the Lambs, you tell us things about what we think of The Silence of the Lambs. Most people don't realize this film is actually a sequel but we do this professionally so you'll hear what we think this 1991 sequel has to say about gender, a back and forth about the performance of Anthony Hopkins and what in that performance is working for and against the film, and discussions about the direction and editing choices that sets this movie apart from most other sequels.

    Hannibal Series Ranking

    We have a job for you, more like an interesting errand and that's to listen to our ranking and declaring episode for the Hannibal Lecter series. Nothing you hear should surprise you including which movie tops our ranking, which movie we both feel belongs nowhere but at the bottom of our lists and we'll chat about the weirdo movie in the middle that we thought we'd hate but somehow has it's pleasantries which surprised us both. Slice off a piece of Ray Liotta's brain and grab a chianti and join in on the fun!

    The Naked Gun (A Patreon Gift)

    Can we borrow $20 bucks to talk about how much we love The Naked Gun from 1988? Nevermind, we're in a giving mood still and decided to throw you one more gift from our Patreon. You'll hear why we like the casting and performance of Priscilla Presley, how the movie is still funny enough to make you enjoy an acting job from O.J. Simpson, no easy feat, and we won't rest until you understand just how funny this film, now let's go get a bite to eat.

  4. Airplane! (A Patreon Gift)

    JAN 19

    Airplane! (A Patreon Gift)

    We've decided to start off the year lazy and therefore are giving you a gift from our Patreon, so surely you'll enjoy our chat about Airplane! You'll hear why we think this is not just an all-time great comedy, but an instruction manual for how to do screen comedy, how much we love that everyone involved plays their roles as serious as they do, and how highly we regard a post credit scene that seems to now be a lost art. You can trust us, we're podcasters. Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

  5. The Naked Gun (2025)

    12/29/2025

    The Naked Gun (2025)

    We drank enough coffee to stay awake just long enough to finish up with our 2025 year and round of legacy sequels with The Naked Gun. You'll hear which actor we think gets the comedy almost completely wrong as well as which actor is getting the comedy so right we wish everyone was on that page, our chat about the villain and whether or not he's failing the movie or the movie is failing him, and we try to mention all the jokes, here and there, that we think actually work. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

  6. I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)

    12/22/2025

    I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)

    We continue catching up with the legacy sequels from 2025 and are donning our hot slickers and hats to chat about I Know What You Did Last Summer. You'll hear what we think of the lead actors and characters and why they work for this film, why we think bringing back legacy actors from the original '97 hit was a good idea including the surprise ending that we both liked and how we believe that even when this movie is clumsy, it's not in a way to bother you too much, helping the movie to be an easy watch. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

  7. Karate Kid: Legends

    12/15/2025

    Karate Kid: Legends

    We continue catching up with the legacy sequels of 2025 as we slice first and slice hard talking about Karate Kid: Legends. You'll hear the many questions we have about the opening of this film and if Mr. Han is, in fact, the legend Mr. Han we knew from 2010, the positive and negative reactions we had to this movie's time efficiency which oddly helps and hinders the picture and a chat about whether or not the movie got better right before the credits start when we finally see a character that made previous attempts to reengage with this franchise work. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

  8. Final Destination: Bloodlines

    12/08/2025

    Final Destination: Bloodlines

    Hollywood isn't finished with four different series that we've previously covered and our professionalism dictates it's time to take catch up and take care of some business. We start with the first movie released this year and possibly the number one of these films in our hearts with Final Destination: Bloodlines, released just this past May. You'll hear a lengthy conversation about this sequel's opening scene that we simply can't find a way to shut up about, how much respect we heap on the directors and Tony Todd for finding a way to give the veteran actor the perfect sendoff for the series and his life and how much glee we find in the movies refusal to let a single character off the hook from death's steely glare. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
