  • On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)

    This never happened to the other fellow...

    In 1969, James Bond experienced one of the earliest soft reboots in film history. This 1969 film takes many risks, chief among them being the replacement of film icon Sean Connery with a chocolate commercial actor by the name of George Lazenby.

    He is unique in that he is the only actor in this series that plays James Bond only once. This film also features Tracy, the Bond girl who would infamously be the woman who finally ties down 007. Don't be fooled by her distinction as a Bond Girl, she is every bit the co-star of this movie. More serious in tone and the brilliant recasting of Blofeld carry this film through the most inconic Bond chase on the slopes of the Swiss Alps. Join us as we discuss this film!

  • Goldfinger (1964)

    Do expect us to watch?

    No, Mr. Bond. We expect you to die. We kick off our James Bond series with the third film in the James Bond cannon. It revolves around 007 trying to save the world from the criminal mastermind who plans to radiate all the gold in Ft. Knox so that it loses its value. The movie is as wild as that last sentence. Join us as we get in the Aston Martin and do battle with the Austrian villain with an affinity for gold, and his henchmen with the weaponized hat for this week’s film.

  • RoboCop (1987)

    Dead or alive you’re coming with us.

    Our first new episode of 2020 takes us back to a dystopian 80s future of this Paul Verhoven masterpiece. We follow Alex Murphy, a New Detroit police officer who is murdered and them gets turned to a cybernetic super cop. 


    While appearing shallow on the outside this film actually explores themes of capitalism, wealth disparities, violence and gentrification.

  • New Years Evil (1980)

    We are EEEEEVILLLLLLL!

    To close out our first year of the show, we are covering one of the lesser remembered holiday horror films from the 80s that came after the massive success of Halloween (1978).

    In this film, an LA DJ/Party Show host(?) is hosting a big New Year's Eve punk concert while also receiving phone calls from a serial killer who announces he will commit a murder at midnight in all the US time zones.

    Shorter in length than our usual episodes, but hopefully just as entertaining. Thanks for following the podcast in our first year, and lets keep it going into 2020!

  • Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

    At long last after nearly 9 months of reviewing Star Wars movies we have arrived at The Rise of Skywalker. The JJ Abrams directed concluding chapter of this saga is tasked with "correcting" all the mistakes of The Last Jedi, while also bringing the entire Star Wars main series to a close. 

    After much speculation as to who Rey's parents are, wondering how Emperor Palpatine figured into the story (since he's super mega dead) and what will come of Finn and Poe's friendship (which all us cool fans wanted to blossom into a relationship), we finally have our questions answered.

  • Black Christmas (1974)

    In 1974, director Bob Clarke’s Black Christmas was officially the first Holiday horror film. The film follows a group of women in a sorority house who are being stalked by a prank calling psychopath who is hiding in their attic.

    Join us as we try to parse through this tone shifting Horror classic.

  • Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Ah listeners, missed you we have.

    In 2017 director Rian Johnson was tasked with following up JJ Abrams highly successful revival of the Star Wars franchise under Disney. The second film in this trilogy has sharply divided critics and movie goers (and the hosts of the show).

    One of us makes the case for why this film is great while the other makes the case for why is among the worst in the series. Which side do you land on for this debate on The Last Jedi?

  • Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    There has been an awakening...

    in 2013 after Disney cashed out to buy LucasFilm, we got the announcement that Star Wars was really Back. 


    After decades of speculation, the House of Mouse finally delivered a sequel to Return of the Jedi meant to pick up the story of the Skywalker saga.

    This film introduced us to our new heroes Finn, Poe, and Rey, and showed how they fit into this overarching epic. Please join us as we review The Force Awakens.
