Is the premise crazy? Yes. Was it a risk to turn this story into a movie? Yes. Did it deliver enough wild antics? No. We watched Cocaine Bear (2023) and thought it could have, and should have, gone further with the outlandish elements. There were more places where humor could have been inserted. Listen and see if you agree.

We celebrate one of Hollywood's finest in Viola Davis. We watched her latest film, The Woman King (2022) and followed it up with the critically acclaimed, Widows (2018). Her range and consistency have delivered some excellent performances and may also have cost her some well deserved recognition. Listen and let us know what you think.

Following the cast of Den of Thieves (2018), we revisited two of the better musically inspired movies in the last decade: 8 Mile (1999) and Straight Outta Compton (2019). One is inspired by the rise of Eminem and the other is the origin of N.W.A. In their own way, each film provides highs and lows on the path to stardom.

Are you a Gerard Groupie or a Butler Buddy? Either way, we all respect the work of Gerard Butler. An actor that has found his sweet spot in the mid-tier action films such as Plane (2023). Its a simple, straightforward title for a simple straightforward film. We also look back at an underrated Butler vehicle, Den of Thieves (2018), crime thriller that delivers.

We stretched our tastes to find underappreciated movies from Rotten Tomatoes rankings between 10 and 19 percent. We think that The Boondocks Saints (1999), Saving Silverman (2001), and National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002) all deserve more credit than they are given. Listen and see if you agree.

No, this isn't a reference to Jack Harlow's new music, but rather a review of the Oscar nominated, Triangle of Sadness (2023). Should this film be in the Best Picture category? It has elements that the Academy loves, but other parts would be dumped on, pun intended. Listen to our thoughts and then you decide.

Jump scares, false villians, and unexpected twists abound in Barbarian (2022) and Don't Breathe (2016). And who better to navigate the world of horror than friend of the pod, Tom Reding. We discuss how horror films could be more appealing to the masses and the challenges of building a completely original horror idea. Listen, if you dare.

We take a trip into the world of Martin McDonagh, the screenwriter and director of the well-regarded Banshees of Inisherin (2022) and the underrated In Bruges (2008). Both films explore some deep areas, while providing humor along the way. Come and see if you agree with our thoughts and stay for our Oscars discussion, as its the only metric by which to measure film greatness.

Is it a spoof or a parody? We invited Erez Levin back this week to help us decide with two more childhood favorites: Top Secret (1984) and Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993). Slapstick comedies were staples when growing up and some of the bits still hold up; others do not. So join the crusade with us and find out how these spoofs stack up...or how these parodies position.

This week, we welcome avid listener and father, Erez Levin, to the pod to discuss two movies that he Can't Wait To Show Your Kids: The Princess Bride (1987) and Willow (1988). There is a large nostalgia play with these films and the hope that your kids will look at them as fondly as you did. The big question is: Do they still hold up?
