Coming Off The Reels

I think we all knew the day would come when Bob Odenkirk would become an action star. At 58 years of age, and thanks to Nobody, that day has finally arrived. Sometimes we leave make you listen to an episode to find out how we felt about a movie, but this time we will just say that we all loved it, you should go and watch it if you haven’t seen it, then circle back around and listen to this episode. It’s just the kind of movie we all need right now.

Enjoy!

So many thoughts about the Academy Awards this year. Believe it or not there were plenty of things that we really liked about the unusual format, but somehow it still turned into one of the biggest messes ever for the Academy. So many questions that we'll never get answers to.

So if you were just as confused as we were, sit back and listen to us try and unpack the trainwreck that was the 93rd Academy Awards.

Enjoy!

With the Academy Awards this weekend, we decided to spend this episode discussing which movies and actors we want to win, and which we think will win. Some of the categories are absolutely stacked, so hopefully it should be a great night where some of our favorite movies get some well deserved recognition.

This week we discuss the documentary from Soleil Moon Frye, Kid 90. Initially we believed this to be a doc that would scratch that certain nostalgic 90’s itch that we have from time to time, and while it succeeds it doing that, it is also a deeply personal, tragic, beautiful, and uplifting story. Tears were definitely shed while watching this one.

So if you haven’t watched this one yet, stop what you’re doing, it’s available on Hulu, watch it, then listen to us gush over how powerful this film is.

Enjoy!

As another March Madness comes to an end, we look back at one of the most iconic basketball movies of all time, Hoosiers. With 75% of the COtR team being born and raised in Indiana, this movie forced upon us a lot as children. Did it hold up for us as well as we hoped? Was it able to be an exception to Ryan’s “No Sports Movies” rule? Did Roy ever find out what a “Hoosier” actually is? These answers and more in this week’s episode.

Enjoy!

More and more movies seem to be going directly to streaming services, often with very little fanfare. This week we all watched one of these movies and are the better for it. Boss Level is yet another time loop film, and although this plot device can annoy some viewers, we had an absolute blast. We all strongly recommend you go and stream this on Hulu, then you can come back and listen to our episode.

Enjoy!

We have a lot of opinion’s on the “movie” this week, and they are all over the spectrum. Is this version of Justice League better than Whedon’s? You don’t even have to listen to the episode for the answer, it is definitely better. However this doesn’t mean that it is good. It’s complicated, and we ramble on for a bit about how a movie can be both bad and good at the same time.

Enjoy!

This week we are giving are general thoughts about WandaVision. I don’t know why you would listen if you haven’t seen the show, but it is very spoiler heavy as we talk about how this influences the MCU, and where the character will go from here. We also make fun of the people who think they know all the answers as soon as the first episode aired, only to end up with egg on their face. So sit back and relax as we once again dip our toes into the cool waters of the MCU.

Enjoy!

The episode this week is really a microcosm of our lives; just a bunch of nerds, sitting in basements, talking about the greatness of Army of Darkness. It is hard to believe that this movie is almost 30 years old, but it is still the gold standard for schlocky, cult classic, cinema. Do some of the sequences show their age? Yes. Do those silly moments make the movie even better? That’s up to you, but we were laughing pretty hard.

So if you want to listen to us gush over one of our favorites,… … come get some.

Enjoy!

There were a few technical problems with the intro this week, but we still managed to persevere and give you a solid episode. This week we went with the 1986 movie, SpaceCamp. Like many of our choices, some of us had seen it, and others were completely in the dark. It mostly stood the test of time, but I am sure it was propped up by a stellar cast, and a fine score by John Williams.

Enjoy!
