With excellent acting from the cast, we examine an interesting story from an interesting director. Come and survive the apocalypse with us.

We close out Denzember and the year with two interesting Denzel films, both from 2012. Safe House (2012) and Flight (2012), are polar opposites, yet Denzel is able to be "Denzel" in each film. Whether he is a rogue spy trying to expose the system or an alcoholic pilot, questioning his actions, Denzel guides these movies to fulfillment. With  help from some notable friends. Let us know what you think in the comments.

Its been 20 years since Love Actually (2003) and Elf (2003) were originally released. One has become a holiday classic, while the other has begun to fade away. So we thought we would discuss the lives of these films with two friends of the pod, Matthew Klara and Max Wastler. A friendship that was generated by a love for these films. These season is all around us, so listen and push us to the Holiday #1 spot.

1998 was a big year for some of us, including Denzel Washington. He had 3 films released this year: The Siege (1998), He Got Game (1998) and Fallen (1998). We watched all of them and ranked them in order of enjoyment. Come and listen and see if your rankings match up.

Off the finale of Noir-vember, we head right into Denzember, with the Robert McCall saga: The Equalizer (2014), The Equalizer 2 (2018) and The Equalizer 3 (2023). Denzel is firmly into his old man action phase and does something he has never done before. Come listen to us discuss Old Man Action, Shows from the 80s and Denzel-ishness.

We close out Noir-vember with a bonafide superstar, Denzel Washington, and his turn at the genre. Devil in a Blue Dress (1995), adds some "color" to the noir film and brings Denzel's arsenal, with some help from Don Cheadle and Tom Sizemore. A different lens shows more potential for the genre. Come and listen and provide your comments.

We continue the month long journey into noir-ness, with one of the better, recent adaptations of the genre. L.A. Confidential (1997) does a great job of weaving multiple story lines, while not dumbing down the plot. Great acting from not only the main, but also supporting characters, just enhance the experience. And we can finally answer the question: Who is Rollo Tomasi?

We start Noir-vember with one of our favorite directors, David Fincher, and maybe his best film in Se7en (1995). With a strong cast, excellent story, and a compelling twist, this may be one of the best movies of all time. Its SO good. Come and listen, and add your thoughts in the comments.

In another sign that we are old, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of True Romance (1993). The writing and directing, ushered in a new style and dominated the 1990s. With an unbelievable cast, this wild adventure is still shocking today. It also shares a thread with our Brade's Bargain Bin trip, with Seven Psychopaths (2012). Come and listen.

The heroes in a half-shell are back with an animated version to continue their legend. We watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) for a fresh take on the pizza loving reptiles. We also revisited the motion picture debut of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990). Grab a slice and come join us. Cowabunga!
