Are You Screening? Podcast

This week we're reviewing Project Power, talking industry news, and steeling ourselves for a return to theaters.

We're finally back and trying to catch up. Even a pandemic can only keep us away so long, and we're looking at Eurovision, Palm Springs, and The Old Guard this week, with special bonus ratings for Greyhound.

Spoiler - We recommend them all... except Shane doesn't love Eurovision... because he hates elves.

We're trying to roll through what we can with the lockdown in effect, and we'll cover titles as they are available, and we'll also let you in on TV you don't want to miss since everyone needs anything they can get now.

As the lack of theatrical releases really starts to take a toll on us, we'll be going over some great television that's available, and we'll review Sonic the Hedgehog and The Jesus Rolls.

As we head into the summer, we are going to try to expand our coverage of TV here, while continuing to get you reviews of as many movies as possible.

Our latest social distancing episode covers Extraction, which is pretty surprising, the AMC vs Universal controversy, and a lot more.

We're finally back at it and reviewing Onward, but we're also going to share our experiences with social distancing and the streaming opportunities available to us all these days.

It was a challenge, and between the two of us it probably covers 200 films, but we've made our lists of the Top 20 Movies of the Decade.

In our originally live episode, we take you through our lists, let you know where we think we're crazy, and give you a lot of insights we learned in boiling down a decade into the best on offer. Among other things, we'll let you know some of the most forgotten movies, surprises other people have on their lists, and the movies that we're not putting on ours, no matter how many other people do.

Awards season isn't quite over until we share our own. The "Can't Win" Awards are our own effort to highlight some of the films that aren't getting the attention they deserve. Whether a movie is too niche, too indie, or otherwise just isn't going to get a "real" award, we honor those efforts that go overlooked to one degree or another... well, except Shane, who picks things that got nominated...

As usual, we each pick a winner in the big five - Movie, Director, Screenplay, Actor, and Actress.

Tune in to find some great movies that a lot of people missed last year.

Also, tune in Tuesday for a live show where we tell you our picks for Best Movies of the Decade

Once Oscar season ends, there's usually a lot of room for backlash, but this year a lot of the awards were foregone conclusions... except for Parasite making history. Still, we give you a quick rundown on the winners.

We're also reviewing Birds of Prey, and it's one that, perhaps surprisingly, made for quite a gap in our ratings. Screwball fun, or just hopelessly screwball? We'll let you know.

It could only last so long, and though we tried to draw out talking about good movies as much as possible, at some point we had to get here. 

It's a weird year for us, and while that seems true of every year, the worst list left us spoiled for choice.

Not only the worst of the worst, but our lists diverged a fair amount this time around. And, we have a fair number of movies that are on people's best lists.
