Christopher Nolan's new movie Tenet is unlike anything you've ever seen before. Truly, a masterpiece of cinema. But is it actually good?

The Goonies was a huge hit in 1985, and fans have made it a cult classic. But those who didn't see it as kids aren't as convinced. Fr. Casey and Fr. Tito discuss.

Pixar's Soul is yet another incredible work of imagination and animation. Frs. Tito and Casey just wish the story had been given as much attention.

In this episode, Fr. Casey, Br. Tito, and a special guest discuss the merits of 32 Christmas movies and determine the best on by putting them head-to-head in a bracket format.

Not every movie is going to win awards. But that doesn't mean that there can't be truly delightful, average movies out there. That's what Br. Tito and Fr. Casey thought about the new Netflix movie Enola Holmes. It won't blow you away, but it's a well-spent two hours!

This election day, you might be looking for a small escape from your current reality. If so, check out the 1993 movie Dave, which offers a view of politics far from our own, one that asks, "Could we simply elect a good person for once?"

Horror movies are always about reckoning with something we have suppressed or believed gone for good--a demon, vampire, werewolf, etc. But when you think about it, the scariest thing that we ever have to reckon with is ourselves. Jordan Peele explores this concept in the movie Us by having literal doubles of the main characters appear with a choice: either deal with your dark side or be destroyed by it.

Even those who do the worst things have the capacity to be heroic. Even those who do heroic work are still capable of major sins. That's what the movie Crash captures so well.
