Part 2

This week, we watch the highest rated Hitchcock film, and what is considered widely to be the film that modernized horror. Come for the shower stabbing, stay for the controversial use of a toilet, a woman in a bra, and the utterance of the word “transvestite”. Psycho (1960), directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

This week, we Barbie’d the Heimer. The most unexpected one-two box office knockout’s better (pink) half is breaking records left and right. Top Hollywood creative talent somehow managed to take corporate greed and product recognition to bring older and younger generators together with huge laughs throughout. Barbie (2023), directed by Greta Gerwig.

This week, we watch the film that is taking the box office by storm (with the help of a specific other pink-ish film). Christopher Nolan takes on the massive story of Oppenheimer and the people around him during the Manhattan Project and the race to develop a bomb that could end us all. Oppenheimer (2023), directed by Christopher Nolan.

This week, we watch the highest rated silent movie of all time. At the height of his power and the end of the silent film era, Charlie Chaplin used an exorbitant amount of his own money to create what many consider to be his masterpiece. City Lights (1931), directed by Charles Chaplin.

This week, we watch Harrison Ford’s second outing as the rugged archeologist with the hat and the whip. This film was highest grossing movie of the year it came out, broke opening weekend records, and was the catalyst for the PG-13 rating (alongside Gremlins). We discuss how it compares to the other films in the franchise. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), directed by Steven Spielberg.

Part 2!

This week, we watch Harrison Ford put on a hat and whip some bad guys. The film that introduces the Indiana Jones character remains the series best, even as it is now 5 movies strong. The supporting cast (Karen Allen, John Rhys-Davies, Paul Freeman) all nearly match Ford’s iconic roll, and the practical action set-pieces remain some of the best the genre has ever seen. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), directed by Steven Spielberg.

Bonus Episode! This week, we watch the highest rated move we’ve watched so far. Currently sitting at the #13th best movie of all time, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a film that has already solidified itself into movie history as one of the most successful sequels of all time. Even more impressivly, it's the highest climbing film on the Top 250 since 2008’s The Dark Knight. Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, and produced by Lord and Miller.

Bonus Episode Time! To welcome the film onto Netflix and to attempt to give it all the praise it deserves, we watch Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse. This movie blows away all recent animated and superhero films alike. It drips originality and brims with jokes, action, and lovable characters. The creators and animators swing for the fences and succeed throughout. Directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman.
