Oz and Curtis are putting on the flashiest snakeskin jackets, heading to Atlantic City Fight Night, and trying to keep our eyes on the ring while a hurricane brews outside to break down Brian De Palma’s conspiracy thriller: Snake Eyes!Rick Santoro (Nicolas Cage) is a loud-mouthed, crooked Atlantic City police detective who loves money, influence, and the spotlight. When he scores ringside seats to a heavyweight title fight alongside his childhood best friend, Navy Commander Kevin Dunne (Gary Sinise), he thinks he’s in for the ultimate night out. But when the U.S. Secretary of Defense is assassinated in front of 14,000 screaming fans mid-bout, Santoro locks down the casino arena to find the shooter. As he unravels differing eyewitness accounts and follows a mysterious woman in a wig (Carla Gugino), Santoro uncovers a sinister military conspiracy that forces him to choose between his corrupt lifestyle and doing the right thing.We break down everything that makes this late-90s thriller explode off the screen: Brian De Palma’s virtuosic direction—including that legendary, seemingly continuous opening tracking shot and signature split-screen work—Nicolas Cage turning his frantic energy up to 11, Gary Sinise’s stoic counterweight performance, and the sheer neon-soaked casino spectacle.

Oz and Curtis are putting on mirrored aviators, chewing on a matchstick, and loading up the Jett 9mm to break down the quintessential 80s action spectacle: Cobra!When a radical, ax-clanking cult known as the "New World"—led by the terrifying "Night Slasher" (Brian Thompson)—begins terrorizing Los Angeles to eliminate the weak, the LAPD has only one choice: call in Lieutenant Marion "Cobra" Cobretti (Sylvester Stallone) of the elite Zombie Squad. After high-fashion model Ingrid Knudsen (Brigitte Nielsen) witnesses a brutal murder, Cobra and his partner Gonzales (Reni Santoni) are assigned to protect her from an endless wave of motorcycle-riding zealots.
