Coming Off The Reels

In the past, we have not really enjoyed the movie of Ti West, but with X we were cautiously optimistic. West has always had a great visual style, and can make movies feel like they are from other decades without needing to remind you all the time that it is a period piece. However, his previous outings have left us a little empty. In classic COtR form, we did not all agree about how X turned out.

Enjoy!

While our opinions of The Adam Project might vary, we did all unite in our opposition to some of the worst de-aging effects ever. We talk about this a lot, but seriously, it is really terrible looking, and I know that we skipped right over some major plot points just so we could continue to bad mouth this one thing, but that’s just how terrible it was. Anyway, here’s our episode.

This week is our recap episode of this year’s Academy Awards. Right out of the gate we discuss the infamous moment that has already become Oscar history, and overly memed. After that quick discussion, we actually talk about the goods and bads of the night. Believe it or not, lots of other things did happen and we want to tell you the real reasons the oscars were bad, not just relive that slap over and over. Like seriously, who thought it was a good idea to create fan voted categories? It’s the Oscars, not the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards.

The “World’s Greatest Detective” is at it again in Matt Reeves latest interpretation of the cowled crusader, The Batman. This movie has already proven to be one of the more successful films in the DC catalog, and it already finds itself on the IMDB Top 250 list, which is no small task. That being said, we managed to disagree about much of this ultra dark film, but don’t worry, it’s all in good fun.

Enjoy!

Sometimes a movie comes along that does something so jaw dropingly stupid that all you can do is keep talking about it even though you hate it. The King’s Man has such a moment in one of the weirdest post credit scenes I can remember. The MCU doesn’t have anything on this series now. We also talk about the rest of this movie, though as you can imagine, we don’t agree about the quality.

Every week Roy asks people for suggestions, and we finally decided to watch one. We thought it would be a fun movie night to view The Villain together, after all, none of us knew anything about the story, or even what genre is belonged to. We were still confused as we were watching, and found ourselves asking “WHY?!” on more than on occasion.

Now if you want to make us watch your crazy choices, you have to sign up for our Patreon, but never again will we watch The Villain.

Enjoy!

This week we do a quick catch up on a couple of recent films to hit theaters. Both movies are dumb, but “dumb” is a pretty wide spectrum, and these two movies really show how different dumb movies can be. There is usually some petty disagreements on the show, it is kind of part of our charm, but this go round we were pretty much on the same page. It is very unusual and probably won’t happen again.

Enjoy!

Marvel managed to release 4 movies and 5 television shows in 2021, and while were have done shows on a couple of the titles they released, we’ve decided to go ahead and dedicate a whole episode recapping just what all was added to the MCU last year. Yes, there were something things that we loved and some that we didn’t, but even the worst thing they made last year is still better than a lot of what’s out there.

So sit back as we wade out into very familiar waters, as we once again talk Marvel.

Enjoy!

Roy is keeping his annual tradition alive, using Super Bowl Sunday as an opportunity to watch as many the years Oscar nominated films as he can. It is always fun hearing his recap and which of the films “won the day”. And it a rare twist, Roy and his wife disagree on the winner! Now you’ll have to listen to see who chose what!

(It was Kira…sorry Roy)

Enjoy!
