    We are taking a trip back to a high school in 2006 that is populated by 30 year olds who are all obsessed with John Tucker. We discuss whether the movie holds up almost 20 years later, rave about the soundtrack reminiscent of our own high school years, and question why murder was never really an option.

  • Road House (1989)

    We are jumping into a cult classic movie that wasn't polarizing enough to warrant a remake. In our discussion of the House of Roads we delve into the sensuality, fits, and mindset of James Dalton (Patrick Swayze), revel in the size of the explosions, and find a strange comparison to True Detective: Night Country.

    In anticipation for the Dune Part Two, we are discussing the previous attempt to bring Frank Herbert's novels to the big screen.
