Mission 250 Podcast

This week, we wanted to take a break from all of the serious movies we've been watching recently, and looked to a tale of intelligent sheep. This could be classified as a kids movie, but it might also be for those looking for a light watch. The Sheep Detectives (2025), directed by Kyle Balda.

This week, we dip into our picks for which movies "should be in the Top 250" movies. This movie is non-stop action, and contains some of the most impressive fight choreography we've ever seen. The Raid: Redemption (2011), directed by Gareth Evens.

This week, we finish off Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. We found the plot and dialogue to be equally clunky and confusing but without any real standout performances or action sequences. Additionaly, this is some of the worst action editing we've seen. The Dark Knight Rises (2012).

This week, we head back to Gotham City to dissect Christopher Nolan's acclaimed superhero epic, The Dark Knight (2008). While we give massive props to Heath Ledger's legendary performance and the film's spectacular action set pieces, there's a lot to nitpick regarding its clunky dialogue and head-scratching plot logic.

This week, we head to the theater to check out the new movie by one of the greatest directors of all time, Spielberg. With all the hype surrounding the reviews on this one, we answer the question - does it come close to living up to the best in his filmography? No. No, it doesn't. Disclosure Day (2026), directed by Steven Spielberg.

This week, we needed a break from all of the horror movies of recent weeks, and we're going with comfort food ala John. This movie is a warm bowl of noodle soup, no special ingredients. Kung Fu Panda (2008), directed by John Stevenson & Mark Osborne.

This week, we're back to the theater to see another horror sensation. This (again) small budget movie from a (again) youtube creator is breaking A24 records left and right. Certainly a different vibe than its partner in horror box-office success, this one is more of a Lynchian mood-piece that a straight up horror. Backrooms (2025), directed by Kane Parsons.

This week, we go to the theater to see somewhat of a sensation. This small budget movie from a youtube creator did the rate thing of making more money at the box office on the second weekend when compared to the opening weekend. Horror fans should run to the theaters to see it. Obsession (2025), directed by Curry Barker.

This week, we are finish watching the Best International Film nominees from this years Oscars. This film tells a story that everyone should hear, so despite some film-making shortcomings, we'd recommend everyone watch it. The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025), directed by Kaouther Ben Hania.

This week, we are continuing to watch the remaining Best International Film nominees from this years Oscars. This film was made illegally in Iran, and even with the extreme limitations that entails, this film manages a very tight thriller with well integrated political criticisms. It Was Just an Accident (2025), directed by Jafar Panahi.
