The Hot Topic of Batman movies is in theaters, so we strapped on our studded belts and got mad at our parents in solidarity. A fight breaks out over Andy Serkis. Obligatory comparisons are made to other tentpole superhero and Batman iterations. We cannot beat the hyperbole allegations, unfortunately. Plus: everyone in this movie is hot, and Jed has a song.

We break out our mustache combs for a spoiler-y conversation on the most important detective movie of the year. Jed has a lot of takes on this movie - the only problem is, he didn't actually see it. Was Gadot better than we anticipated? Plus, everyone is cancelled, and the pyramids are fake.

Oscar buzz is filling the air, so we ask: is POWER OF THE DOG oscar bait? We play hardball with the wide range of nominations the movie received. Cameras! Vistas! The American West! Plus, Jed provides some concert chatter.

Is there a better blockbuster franchise than this swashbuckling series? Or do the two later films sink its chances? Evan falls prey to a classic Jed and Chip runaround. We try not to step in it regarding Johnny Depp. Plus, the secret MVP of the franchise is revealed.

We're talking about a classic horror film, SCREAM, and it's sequel + reboot = requel follow up...SCREAM. Is the original the sexiest horror movie ever? Was the podfather able to successfully brave the jump scares of a movie theater? And will we see a record-breaking versus performance?

It's time! Our favorite movies of the last year. Some big hits, some hidden gems, some questionable accent work. Chip bends the rules to his favor yet again. Will Evan finally get to talk about the horny nuns? Plus, a retrospective on the hype vs. payoff of some 2021 releases. 

We love the Coens here at Flicking & Screaming, so we knew Joel Coen's first solo venture (into a Shakespeare, no less) needed a full breakdown: we talk Denzel and Frances, we talk costumes, we talk about the gorgeous black and white cinematography, Jed reminds us again about seeing Denzel on Broadway, plus a soliloquy or two.
