Sorry about no new episode this week, but instead here is something that we feel is still very important. It seems as though people’s behavior in theaters is getting worse and worse, and so here is our episode from years ago all about “theater etiquette”.

Enjoy!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

The movie industry is a great state of change. Superhero movies are failing left and right, while Barbie and Mario and laughing all the way to the bank. Disney/Pixar movies are being released to tepid reviews, while other studios push animation in exciting directions, first with Across the Spiderverse, and now with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. So sit back as we kind of talk about turtles, while also talking about Oppenheimer again and more Zelda talk.

Blue Beetle

Just when we thought the summer was over, and with it our hopes for a good comic book movie, along comes Blue Beetle. Is it the greatest comic book movie ever? No. But it might be the best of this year, and that’s not nothing.

Director Spotlight: Richard Donner

This is an episode that we recorded awhile back, but are just now releasing on the regular feed, our director spotlight on Richard Donner. Was everything he created gold? Absolutely now, but he helmed some of the most influential pictures for a generation of moviegoers. So this week, sit back for awhile and listen to us talk about the highs and lows of Richard Donner.

Oppenheimer

We had several technical issues on our Oppenheimer episode, so if you’re confused by times when we all don’t seem to be there, that is why. That said, we still managed to give most of our thoughts on the latest film from Christopher Nolan, and even with chunks of it missing, this episode still makes more sense than Tenet.

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part I

Let’s keep it simple, this movie is pretty great. If you haven’t seen it, go watch it before it’s out of theaters, then listen to our episode. If you have seen it, go see it again to help bolster its box office numbers, then listen to our episode. If for some reason you don’t want to see it, you can just listen to our episode.

The Frighteners

This week we are discussing the horror/comedy from 1996, The Frighteners. Though there is enough from that movie to fill an episode, we also talk about a lot of the other movies we’ve been watching lately. And like most things we watch, some of them are good, and some a really really bad.

Enjoy!

The Flash

Ezra Miller is a garbage person. We won’t everyone to know that even if The Flash was a good movie, it would still be kind of awful because of how terrible Miller has been IRL. That said, The Flash didn’t really impress anyone here at COtR, with the range being somewhere between “meh” and “the worst comic book movie ever”. Definitely an entertaining episode.

Enjoy!

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Like most movie nerds, Indiana Jones is a character and franchise that means a lot to us. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny may not live up to some of the originals, but was it enough that we didn’t leave the theater feeling angry?

You know what to do.

Asteroid City

This week we are discussing the latest film from Wes Anderson, Asteroid City. As is the case with most of Anderson’s films, if you like his style, you will probably like this one, and if you don’t, you won’t. We happen to like what he does, but we know that he isn’t for everyone. That said, please feel free to listen to find out where this particular film compares to his other work.
