Its been 20 years since The Girl Next Door (2004) was released. It was a cap to a raunchy teen comedy era, which we may never see again. And while it dealt with a taboo topic, it blended an pretty good romantic comedy in as well. Let us know what you think or how you remember this film.

A historic franchise was started in 1984 with The Terminator (1984) and continued with, arguably the best sequel ever, Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991). These groundbreaking films paved the way for so many others, in the realms of story-telling, visual and special effects, and overall filmmaking. Can these films be as good as we say they are?

Action knows no borders or boundaries. And the latest is from Dev Patel in Monkey Man (2024). His influences are wide ranging, which enhances the experience, but leaves plenty of room for the stylized action that we know and love. Come and fight for the unseen and get your revenge in the process.

Two men who are the best at what they do. Two men tasked to find the weakness in our systems. Two men who were betrayed and now seek revenge. We watched The Accountant (2016) and Shooter (2007), to get our fix of competency viewing. Will we watch anything, if an expert is showing us? Come and listen to find out.

A first time writer and an up-and-coming director, joined forces to create one of the best thriller in recent years, Sicario (2015). An all-star cast, excellent cinematography, and score, made this crime drama, much more. It was so good, it warranted a sequel, Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018), and possible more? Come listen and let us know how much you enjoyed these films.

The comedic talent of John Cena shows up in everything he does. From the over protective father in Blockers (2018) to the method actor turned friend in Ricky Stanicky (2024), his presence bring levity to the situation. His turn in the WWE was an ideal starting point for his film career. And he is just getting started.

One is a cult classic, one is a streamer remake. While they have similar backbones, the original Road House (1989) delivers more than the new version, Road House (2024), even with Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role. The nostalgia play is strong with Patrick Swayze, but would anyone under the age of 30 enjoy this movie? Come and discuss with us.

From less than scale druid monuments to overpowered amplifiers, This is Spinal Tap (1984), has all of the elements of an excellent satire. The rise and fall of a successful fake rock band, was so on point that some had trouble telling truth from fiction. Lets us know what you think of this cult classic.
