August 04, 2025Still Swingin’: Our Take on Happy Gilmore 2
Message Dan and Mike
Adam Sandler’s back on the green—and we’re not sure if we’re cheering or ducking for cover. In this episode, we take a swing at Happy Gilmore 2, the long-awaited sequel to the cult comedy classic. Is it a hole-in-one or a triple bogey? We break down the laughs, the legacy, and whether Shooter McGavin still has it. Plus, we share our favorite moments from the original and how they stack up against the sequel’s wild swings.

July 28, 2025Scarface ’32: The OG! - A Criterion Collection Review
Message Dan and Mike
Step back into the pre-Code chaos with the original Scarface—before the cocaine and neon came the Tommy guns and tabloid frenzy. We dissect Howard Hawks’ gritty gangster epic, explore how it scandalized America, and debate whether Paul Muni’s Tony Camonte still holds cinematic swagger. Bonus: the wild story behind the film’s censorship battle.

July 21, 2025Blood, Blues & Brotherhood: Our Review of Sinners
Message Dan and Mike
Ryan Coogler’s latest film isn’t just a vampire flick — it’s a Southern Gothic horror-musical set in 1932 Mississippi, where blues music summons spirits and blood flows like moonshine. In this episode, we dive into the film’s genre mashup, Michael B. Jordan’s dual performance, and whether Sinners is Coogler’s magnum opus or just a stylish swing. Spoiler: we’ve got thoughts.

July 14, 2025Gunn Misfires - Our Superman Review
Message Dan and Mike
Warning: capes ahead... but no real lift-off. This week, Oh Brother turns into Oh No! as we roast James Gunn’s Superman—a movie so baffling, it made us question everything, including our popcorn choices. We riff on the weirdest moments, share our WTF reactions, and debate whether the Justice League would even return James' calls.
It’s funny, fiery, and totally free of blue lasers and gritty monologues. Come for the jokes, stay for the rants.

July 07, 2025Box Office Blues: Why the Big Screen’s in Trouble
Message Dan and Mike
The numbers are in—and they’re not pretty. In this episode of Oh Brother, we dive headfirst into the state of the box office, unpacking the highs, the lows, and the head-scratchers of 2024 and 2025. From surprise hits to blockbuster flops, we break down what’s working, what’s failing, and why audiences might be ghosting the big screen.
We also look ahead to 2026’s most anticipated releases and ask the big questions: Is the theatrical experience on life support? Are studios out of touch? And can the industry bounce back—or is this just the new normal?
Whether you're a film buff, a box office junkie, or just wondering why your local theater feels emptier than ever, this one’s for you.

June 30, 202560 Years Later, Is Thunderball Still Making Waves?
Message Dan and Mike
In this anniversary deep dive, we revisit Thunderball—the underwater epic that made Bond bigger, bolder, and wetter than ever. Six decades on, does it hold its place among the 007 elite, or sink under the weight of its spectacle? Join us as we break down the sharks, the suits, the SPECTRE schemes, and Sean Connery’s superspy swagger in this nostalgia-soaked review

June 23, 2025Cleaner is a Clunker - Our Full Review
Message Dan and Mike
Buckle up for a no-holds-barred Oh Brother breakdown of Cleaner, the crime thriller that left us wondering if the real mystery was how it got made. In this episode, we dive into the muddy plot, misused talent (yes, even Daisy Ridley couldn’t save it), and all the ways this film managed to miss the mark. From awkward pacing to baffling dialogue, we scrub through the mess. Spoiler alert: we didn’t just dislike it—we disinfected it.
We did the dirty work and watched Cleaner so you don’t have to—consider this your cinematic public service announcement.
