For a rich and immersive viewing experience, we savored The Menu (2022). And while its more than what it seems, it was the right film for us. Come and engage with us as we discuss the characters and their journeys. But whatever you do, do not just "watch" this movie. Its too good for that.

Three guys who have a film podcast watched a film about a guy in search of a podcast. It got real meta this week, with Vengeance (2022) from writer, director, and star: BJ Novak. An interesting look into the podcast process and if the shows we listen to are influenced or impacted by real life. Are we telling true stories or turning real people into characters? Come and listen to how the movie deals with this.

As the CEO of our own car, we are not canceling the end of year fun, so we watched Office Christmas Party (2016). Come with us to Downtown Chicago for one crazy night of debauchery with some of our favorite actors. Everyone in this movie was well cast and fit the movie perfectly. Its all happening.

Shadowy figures, deep conspiracies, and two people who are going to break the whole system open. These are staples of one of the most popular authors of the 1990s, John Grisham. And because of this, The Firm (1993), The Pelican Brief (1993), and The Client (1994) were adapted into feature length films. Can these thrillers deliver as well as the books they are based on? Find Denton Voyles and you'll have your answer.

Did Robert Redford secretly make a spy thriller trilogy, without anyone realizing it? We followed up our viewing of Spy Game (2001), with Three Days of the Condor (1975) and Sneakers (1992). We love Redford's role in the spy thriller and wonder if he was destined for these roles. Come and help us decide.

One of the most handsome actors in the world, Brad Pitt has covered a wide range of roles. We took a look at his most recent action comedy, Bullet Train (2022) and followed it up with a Brade's Bargain Bin Hall of Famer, in Spy Game (2001). We show love for Pitt as well as one of his co-stars. Have a listen!

With basketball season tipping off, we watched Adam Sandler's latest basketball drama, Hustle (2022). The story of a former athlete turned scout, searching for a diamond in the rough, surprised us all. Well written and excellently acted by NBA stars. We also brought our resident basketball dad, Jason Andreas, for the inside view. We discussed his adventures in coaching as well.

Whether you are a Frankenstein or the smelly kid in class, we can all appreciate Adam Sandler's first turn as a father figure in Big Daddy (1999). Sonny Koufax share his wisdom about shopping and dealing with uncomfortable situations. Join the Scuba Squad as we discuss...was Sonny really a dad?

The noir genre continues to show itself in more modern tales including Chinatown (1974), The Big Lebowski (1998), and Brick (2005). After watching the classics, we can see where these new films get their inspiration. Sometimes its wonderful success; other times it takes a while to see it all come together. Come and find the thread with us, fellow Shamus.

Listen up, gumshoes: We went back to the scene of the crime and the start of the film noir genre with three classics: The Maltese Falcon (1941), The Big Sleep (1946), and Touch of Evil (1958). Many of the foundational elements of noir filmmaking are on display and can still be found in movies today. But is everyone a fan? Stick around and find out.
