It's our BIRTHDAY MONTH! To celebrate, for the month of March we're going off script by picking special movies that mean a lot to us. Some movies mean a lot to both of us, and that's why we're starting with Remember The Titans. A movie played on repeat during our childhood, we talk why it's important to us, how it was the first movie that we bonded over, how often we quote it to each other, and discuss sports movies in general.

In this episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster we discuss the swords and sandals epic Gladiator. We both owed this film a watch since one of us hadn't seen it and it turns out watching this on a charter bus on a high school field trip is not the ideal viewing experience. Listen to us debate whether historical epics work, and why nothing tops seeing movies in the theater.

We know, we know. We thought we'd already gotten the most embarrassing confession out of the way. Turns out seeing all of the iconic scenes over and over does not mean you've seen the movie. In this episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we discuss finally giving JAWS a proper watch and finding out (50 years late) that it's not just a B monster movie?!

In this episode of Better Late than Blockbuster, we quickly forget how to podcast like normal people. Dana finally admits that it took her nearly a decade to watch Interstellar, and what starts as a planned episode, turns into a live reaction to the movie. We spiral into a pseudo watch-along filled with awe, sibling debate, emotional damage, and unsolicited praise for Christopher Nolan. Because not only is it possible, it's necessary.

In this episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we catch up to Mission Impossible. A film it took one of us 30 years to see, and the other only (ahem)... 29. We talk why it's ok for spy movies to be about style over substance, remember how the internet apparently worked in 1996, and of course, Tom Cruise magic. I

t took decades, multiple sequels, and zero self-destructing messages, but we finally accepted the mission.

You know what they say: better late than blockbuster.

In this episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we finally tackle Goodfellas. Yes, somehow neither of us had seen it.

We talk first-time reactions, realizing how much pop culture has been borrowing from this movie for decades, and how Scorsese changed mob movies (scratch that, movies) forever with this flick. Along the way, we also discover this marks our second straight episode featuring a surprise Samuel L. Jackson appearance. We swear we're not planning this. In case you couldn't already tell.

Two first watches. One iconic film. And a growing concern about our cinematic credibility.

There's "late to the party," and then there's this. In this episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we finally address the most embarrassing confession yet: Dana had never seen Jurassic Park. Ever. Not even once.

Meanwhile, Evan takes us on a journey of how fossils shaped his personality, takes us through a mini tour of his rock collection, and talks about how much he wants a pet dinosaur even after watching this movie.

We talk favorite dinosaurs, first-watch shock, why this movie still holds up, and how Jurassic Park manages to be thrilling, funny, and awe-inspiring all at once.

One overdue watch. One lifelong obsession. Life, uh...finds a way.

Happy New Year! In this special episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we each share our top 5 movies of 2025, counting down the films that stuck with us long after the credits rolled. No spoilers, no plot breakdowns, just pure movie love, strong opinions, and a few surprises along the way.

From instant classics to unexpected favorites, this is our celebration of the films that defined our year at the movies.

Grab some popcorn and join us as we ring in the new year one ranking at a time.

On the very first Holiday Edition of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we finally discuss how long it took us to catch up with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, a film everyone assumes you've seen. Is it a holiday classic? Maybe? Culturally mandatory? Yes. Plus, we rank our top 5 Christmas movies of all time, and Evan gives an impassioned speech about a criminally underrated Christmas classic.

In this episode, we finally tackle A Few Good Men, a movie only one of us believes is culturally mandatory viewing. We debate its place in the pop-culture canon, take a surprising detour into Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and make the case that Tom Cruise is the greatest movie star of all time. Plus, Dana's hottest-ever Oscar take. Court is officially in session.
