Coming Off The Reels

Another year of movies in the book and another episode where we reflect on what we thought were the best movies of 2022. We know that everyone won’t agree with us, we rarely completely agree with each other, but between the four of us, there us surely some common ground out there. Plus there were some legitimate surprises this year, and that’s always entertaining.

Enjoy!

This week we head back to the woods with one of the films we watch during the Cabin Chronicles. We use the word “film" because “movie” just doesn’t seem to carry the same weight, especially when speaking about Airheads. It was pretty apparent early on that Brendan Fraser was destined to be nominated for an Oscar, and while we are happy for his recognition in The Whale, some might say this was an even more powerful performance.

Enjoy!

Here is another fine episode from the “Cabin Chronicles” series. While Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan isn’t a ver good movie, the episode that movie spawned is pretty solid. Plus it was late, and we were all a little loopy, so you know that helps. Maybe next time we will let people outside the show pick all the movies.

Enjoy!

We are a couple of weeks into the new year, and that means we are all scrambling to watch all the 2022 movies we missed in order to make out “Best and Worst” lists. Hey, speaking of the worst movies of last year, here is our episode on Moonfall. Now we aren’t saying that this movie will definitely be on someone’s list for the worst movies last year, but this movie will almost certainly be on one of those lists.

Enjoy!

This week we debate the merits of the latest film from Darren Aronofsky, The Whale. There ended up being more sides to this than we were expecting, but hopefully that translates into a more interesting episode.

Enjoy!

Our feelings toward the first Avatar film range from enjoyment to stunning indifference, but not from the people you might think. This week we are discussing the new sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water. Not to give too much away, but minds were changed in each direction. At least we all have plenty to say, both good and bad, about this larger than life movie.

Enjoy!

We know that a lot of you are traveling for the holidays, and maybe looking for some helping passing the long hours of traffic gray scenery. That is why we went ahead a released last year’s “Hallmark” episode that was originally just for “Patrons only”. Maybe you give it a listen, maybe you think we are entertaining, maybe you head on over to our Patreon page so you can listen to the 2022 Hallmark episode. We think you’re definitely worth the meager investment.

Have a happy and safe holidays!

Nothing says “Christmas” like a movie about ritual suicide in feudal Japan. This week is a Patron request, and just to prove that we can’t be bought off by our Patreon supporters, some of us liked this film, and some of us did not. I know the tension is palpable, but all you have to do is lister to the episode, and you’ll know who thought what. It’s very exciting.

Enjoy!

This week we are talking about the latest film from Steven Spielberg, The Fabelmans. An autobiographical film about one of our favorite directors seems like a perfect fit for us here at COtR, but could this movie live up the our expectations, or was to just a little too self-aggrandizing? We can’t speak for everyone out there, and there are certainly plenty of people who just like to hate on Spielberg, but if that’s the podcast you’re looking for, you may want to look somewhere else.

Enjoy!

This week we discuss listener requested film, I Love My Dad. Typically, we do not all agree on a movie, but against all odds, we somehow found that common ground for this “comedy”. Was it good? Was it bad? Was it unwatchable? Or maybe just really cringy? This is a podcast, you have to listen to find out.

Enjoy!
