Superman (2025) Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

Has the moment Clarkson has been waiting for finally arrived?

Is there a genuinely good Superman movie?

Well... let's find out.

Sinners May 11, 2025

Show notes

Let's say it right off the bat... Ryan Coogler is a bad ass. It is officially undeniable.

The man mad a sequel SERIES to Rocky that represents some of the strongest in the franchise. He killed it with Black Panther, hell... he even started with a bold statement in Fruitvale Station.

So... how does he do when he is going fully original.

Not just fully original, original elevated genre... that's a period piece... with a lead actor playing twins.

Given his track record... it was really just a matter of how much of the cover he was going to tear off the ball.

Well... listen to get our take on how much of that cover was left.

Conclave Apr 05, 2025

Show notes

Not sure if you are aware, but this show is hosted by two VERY lapsed catholics.

It is also a show hosted by two men with a combined near decade and a half of experience as altar servers. Basically, we have covered all of the services.

Weddings? Yep? Easter? No question. Christmas Eve Midnight Mass? Yep. Christmas Day? Of course? Regular Sunday? Shit... more than I can remember.

So this time out, it's kind of exciting to tackle the biggest show in the Catholic.

The Papal Conclave.

Yep. Whenever a Pope shuffles off this mortal coil, or just retires (which, evidently, you can just do) all the Cardinals from around the world gather tougher in The Sistine Chapel and vote until we get a Pope.

You know the drill, white smoke, black smoke. Habemus Papam. The whole thing.

This movie takes us into the politics and the human drama behind the scenes at this historic event.

So... what do we think?

Saturday Night Jan 26, 2025

Show notes

Saturday Night Live (originally called "Saturday Night," due to American Sportscaster Howard Cosell having a show on CBS called Saturday Night Live.) premiered less than a month and a half after Jim was born. By the time it hit it's real stride in the mid 80's, it had become an institution, and Jim's sports team.

Like a sports team, SNL has good and bad seasons. It has super stars and draft busts. It has great seasons with bad episodes, bad seasons with good episodes, bad episodes with good sketches, good episodes with bad sketches....

For this show we went to an actual real life movie theater and watched "Saturday Night," a fictionalization of the 90 minutes leading up to the first episode of Saturday Night Live, directed by Jason Reitman (son of comedy LEGEND Ivan).

How well does the movie pull it off?

Do they get the characters right?

What about Gilda?

You're just gonna have to listen to find out.

I Saw The TV Glow Dec 29, 2024

Show notes

It is rare for a movie to completely defy description.

Yes, we could just talk about what happens in this movie, but... just listen and you'll understand.

Longlegs Oct 17, 2024

Show notes

We continue our hit streak with some Hitchcock related horror... Oz Perkins, son of Anthony, really knocks it out of the park with this unsettling little gem that is a refreshing entry from a director with an incredible sense of story and tension, and an even better eye.

Kill- A movie with a title too short for my hosting service Sep 28, 2024

Show notes

Seriously. Episode titles have to be 5 characters.

A title so simple that Podbean doesn't recognize it, but GOD DAMN... does it ever deliver on that name.

Deadpool And Wolverine Sep 15, 2024

Show notes

Is it possible for a movie to overcome "Marvel Fatigue?"

We have seen it all, and now the hole multi-verse thing... seriously, it's exhausting.

So, let us see how the boys handle it.

The Hunt For The Wilderpeople Aug 31, 2024

Show notes

Some movies are just so good that, if you meet someone who dislikes it... you blame them for not liking it, because it cannot possibly be the fault of this wonderful, engaging, dare I say "perfect," movie.

This is one of those movies.

Robert Towne and The Last Detail Aug 09, 2024

Show notes

We recently lost one of the greats of screenwriting, Robert Towne.

His resume is almost cartoonishly good, and his influence on the craft of screen writing cannot be measured.

This week, in addition to discussing the career of Robert Towne, we will be discussing his criminally overlooked, "The Last Detail," starring Jack Nicholson as a career Navy signalman on Shore Patrol escorting a prisoner.

Let's see how accurate a movie that was criticized because the characters, "swore like sailors," while playing sailors is.
