We remember the life of Paul Reubens, aka Pee-Wee Herman, with his classic film, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985). This film was not only a major influence on the childhood of the 1980s, but also launched several big names in the world of film and sound. Come and remember...There is no basement in the Alamo.

Travel off the beaten path with us and Wes Anderson, in his latest film, Asteroid City (2023). We wonder how he manages to get an all-star cast to lead his films. Because some of us question: Are these films any good? Are we missing something? Listen and let us know what you think.

Do we have a new king of the cult action film, in Chris Hemsworth? With his release of Extraction (2020) and recently, Extraction 2 (2023), he is poised to take the mantel from Arnold, Sly, Bruce and Jean-Claude. And while many may nitpick parts of these films, we find them to be enjoyable, good times. And isn't that what you want from a movie? Let us know in the comments.

When James Cameron does anything, he does it big, and he does it well. We revisit the world of Pandora with both Avatar (2009) and Avatar: The Way of Water (2023), to revisit the vision that took Cameron years to bring to screen. Both movies are visually impressive and stunning, while some of the story arc, could use some work. Come and let us know that we see you!

Its that time to gather and achieve something impossible. Not for a mission, but for family. We watched Fast X (2023), the latest in the Fast and the Furious franchise. Some say this was expected, while others think it went too far, but come, listen and decide for yourself. Everyone is Family in the Dom and crew.

*** With the recent passing of Alan Arkin, we wanted to revisit our earlier episode, where he was prominently featured...He will be missed. ***

We celebrate one of our favorite actors, Alan Arkin, and his Oscar winning performance as dad and grandpa in Little Miss Sunshine (2006) Whether it was delivering life advice or dance moves, he was there for his family.

He also makes an appearance in Brade's Bargain Bin: Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), a film that seems primed for a reboot.

Without his most prolific costar, Matt Damon may deliver some of his finest work in The Martian (2015). The script is fantastic, the cast is outstanding, and Damon brings some lightness, while also dealing with serious topics. Come and discuss with us, why this movie works so well, and why other Mars based adventures, never took flight.

Not since Dorothy and her slippers, has there been so much riding on a red shoe. And, Air (2023), tells the story of how Nike won the right to create the most iconic basketball shoe line ever, Air Jordans. Solid story and good acting make a compelling movie, even though we all know how it ends. Listen and let us know what pair of Jordans are your favorites.
