The comic book train keeps rolling! Comic book movies were on shaky ground in 2004, but Del Toro gave this passion project his all. Does it still hold up in the era of comic book films?

A bit of an anomaly in Del Toro's filmography, this was Del Toro's first official venture into a licensed property. Could our boy possibly elevate this pretty ok early 2000s comic book franchise?

Del Toro's first American film was fraught with misadventure, and resulted in a film frankly no one was happy with. When he got the chance to fix the movie, did it really make a difference?

Thus begins season 2, a deep dive into Guillermo Del Toro (obscurely titled Del Toro Quest). We begin at the beginning with the little-known Cronos, Del Toro's 1993 cinematic debut.

And so we have come to the end and must undertake the terrible self-imposed task of ranking these films. Also, we watched Four Rooms because why not?

We've reached Tarantino's most recent--and most personal--film to date. Breaking this one down, we considered the arc of this 30 year career.

Due to unfortunate circumstances this episode had to be re-recorded, but the second time around became a second chance to get to the heart of this complex and challenging film. 

Black Lives Matter.

Tarantino kept the vengeance rolling with Django Unchained, but what about the momentum?

At the time of publication, the Black Lives Matter protests have been going on for a couple of weeks. The episode was recorded several weeks before this. Please consider giving to the cause in whatever way you are able. Black Lives Matter.

Inglourious Basterds has been a particular favorite of ours, but will it hold up to scrutiny or will it fall apart like a burning cinema? I'm joking, of course it holds up.
