    Wake Up Dead Man (2025)

    The Second Part in our Faith in the Wicked Trilogy Last month we insulted the likes of Guillermo del Toro, Martin Scorsese and David FIncher for making TV movies... and in our second episode of 2026 we feature a really expensive TV movie from Rian Johnson in his third KNIVES OUT entry WAKE UP DEAD MAN! One host was spiritually moved upon first watch and continued to find more to love about this latest Daniel Craig mystery... and the other came around once the majesty of seeing it at home on streaming just as our gods at Netflix intended. Cinema in 2026 as we TRY to feature films that actually play in theaters! Enjoy! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

    28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

    The First Part in our Faith in the Wicked Trilogy 28 Days Later has aged like a fine wine but perhaps 28 Years Later hasn't aged enough as audiences unfortunately seemed to tune out the latest entry in this franchise 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. We discuss the franchise as a whole (mostly skipping 28 WEEKS LATER unless one host gets a chance to bring up THE BEACH) and how much love we have for Ralph Fiennes, well-endowed zombies and a dance sequence with Satanists. Just a damn good time at the movies as we start our year of covering one new theatrical release a month. Enjoy!

    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

    A Feel Bad Christmas Podcast Shane Black has had two near misses of being featured on this year's season of episodes of TiT... and his silly KISS KISS BANG BANG was replaced with The Feel Bad Christmas movie from David Fincher. I don't know if that says more about Mr. Black or us but for Christmas in 2025 it's THE GIRL WITH DRAGON TATTOO and we couldn't be happier! Well... we could. And we do air our grievances for Festivus for the rest of us but we have absolutely none with this modern Christmas classic!

    You've Got Mail (1998)

    The Second Part in our Meet Cute Again Trilogy This film selection will come as no surprise as one host may have seen Nora Ephron's absolute classic YOU'VE GOT MAIL more than any other movie in his life and also because it's the only entry in cinema that naturally follows up Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO. I said what I said and we say a lot more about Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks at their most charming in this Christmas season edition of TiT. Enjoy!

    Vertigo (1958)

    The First Part in our Meet Cute Again Trilogy This is an episode about an absolute classic pervert as a hero. In fact it's The Movie about the heroic perv and we are just the two perverts to take up this quest... a movie podcast talking about Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO. We didn't promise unique perversions but we do promise that it is perverse. And blissfully not an MCU movie!

    Jerry Maguire (1996)

    The Third Part in our Faking it on the Job Trilogy Inspired by a movie on having the right words in the wrong profession I'm going to skip the memo of show notes for JERRY MAGUIRE because we have no text worthy of being used in a cheesy pop country song. Instead we just have this podcast. Enjoy! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!
