Raising Arizona

The Assistant Editor on The Evil Dead can direct and write films of his own? Who knew? Ryan and Nathan kick off their first ever director spotlight with Blood Simple. The debut feature of the Coen Brothers, this film serves well as a showcase for a lot of the themes and general vibe the brothers explore in their four decade career. That's right, despite what we may say in the episode, we are going to look at every feature the Coen's have done thus far, so buckle up for our biggest batch ever. Thanks for joining us.

Ranking

Despite comparing it to a vomit-covered bathroom stall, Ryan and Nathan maintain that Spring Breakers is a good movie. You just have to be ready to look in the mirror a bit and see the dubstep obsessed Brony you used to be and come to terms with it. Thanks Harmony Korine.

Spring Breakers

After a pretty extensive discussion about the current state of the Academy Awards, Ryan and Nathan discuss an overlooked contender from 2012, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. It's a good movie, so sayeth we.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

To start the celebration of Paul Giamatti's imminent Oscar win early (don't screw this one up Academy), Ryan and Nathan are taking a look back at one of the roles that helped him shake off the "character actor" label and get some meaty parts. That's right,  Big Fat Liar is this week's Good movie.

Big Fat Liar

Turns out everyone was wrong for 29 years, Judge Dredd was a good movie this whole time. Who knew? Ryan McCulloch. And he is here to share that wisdom with all of us. Thanks for joining us.

Michael Myers? Who even is that? This is a Stonehenge movie about killer robots and evil masks. Way cooler. Ryan and Nathan discuss the divisive third film in the hallowed horror franchise as part of their spotlight on Movies That Are Good. Thanks for joining us.
