BEFORE 1:02:00 is our WrestleMania 40 (Night One) PREVIEW & PREDICTIONS

AFTER 1:02:00 you get our WrestleMania 40 (Night One) FULL REVIEW

You know we love our wrestling here at the BFE (well some of us...). Join Ian from Best Film Ever and Stew from The Stew World Order podcast as we break the BFE format by looking at WrestleMania 40 (Night One). We discuss whether The Rock is helping or hurting creative? Do we rate matches higher or lower based on our representations? What other stories besides Cody Rhodes needs finishing this year? And whether a two-night WrestleMania card is diluting the quality off matches that qualify for the event? We'll answer all these questions on WrestleMania 40 (Night One) and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

FIRST 23:40 are a spoiler-free review with our See It/Skip It verdict

AFTER 23:40 it's a full spoiler review

You know the BFE is getting up there in years when we're doing a SIOSI that's a sequel to an earlier film that we also did a SIOSI on.  Join us as we look at the sequel to a legacy sequel in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. We discuss whether Paul Rudd is being over-exposed? Are there too many characters in this film? Did we need every character back from Oklahoma in New York City? Were all the actors even trying all that hard? Which returns made us cheer and which made us groan? And whether Ghostbusters is trying to pivot from an adult based audience to a pre-teen audience. We'll answer all these questions on Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

We usually go king sized on the BFE but perhaps brevity truly is the source of wit.  Welcome to Three Act Structure: the BFE review show where we have to pass judgment on films but this time, we can only use 3 words or less - wait, should that be 'or fewer?'

This month we're reviewing the global box office champion from 1977 to 2023.  How will films like Star Wars, Back To The Future, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, The Avengers and Barbie do when we're limited to a trifecta of words.

What 3 words would you have used? Let us know on social media over at twitter.com/bestfilmeverpod

And the Oscar goes to... BFE with our coverage of the 2024 Academy Awards.  Join Ian and BFF of the BFE Hermes Auslander as we discuss all things Oscar in our preview special just in time for the big awards show.  We talk snubs, flubs and films we'd like to sub as we separate those who should win from those who should be glad just to be nominated.  

We break down this year's panel of categories while also discussing the relevance of the Academy and whether or not they're recognizing the industry as it stands or whether they're shaping a different narrative.
