The Father is finally here and just in time for Fixie consideration! The Oscar nominated film from playwright Florian Zoller (adapted from his play) has met much critical acclaim. But will it have the legs to go the distance at the Academy Awards? Find out!

20 years ago, A Beautiful Mind won Best Picture and Best Director at the Academy Awards, the true manifestation of our Ron Howard Oscar machine theory. But is this the nice guy director's best movie? How does it compare to Apollo 13, or...gulp...last year's Hillbilly Elegy?  Find out!

The people have spoken. We received a petition at [email protected] signed by 200,000 people to review Zack Snyder's Justice League. Yet, Jeremy refused. So this week, Lee and Chapin share their thoughts on the second iteration of the 2017 box office disappointment, now 4 hours long and available on HBO MAX. Was it worth it? Should've Warner Bros indeed released the Synder cut? Or has fan service gotten out of control?

We're kicking off our new series "The Great Movies" this week with a look back at our birth year in Amadeus, the winner of Best Picture in 1984 and one of our favorites.

This week, after months in quarantine, we look at the first movie conceived entirely during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Oh yay.  But, Sam Levinson (Euphoria) brings us an interesting film that certainly caused some disagreement on the pod.  So, we're grateful for that!

We then hear Jeremy's thoughts on our Promising Young Woman podcast and the three of us speak briefly about Regina King's One Night in Miami.
