“Based on a True Story” Movies are always surprising - the sometimes horrendous acts of violence or cruelty seem like they could’ve only happened in the Stone Age. For the true events that played out in Best Picture Nominee, I’M STILL HERE, the events only date back to 1971. 

Join Cam and Kirk as they discuss - SPOILER FREE - a must-see film highlighting a family’s strength through devastating circumstances.

Some may call it Christmas. Others may call it the “Super Bowl of Cinema.”  We just like to call it what it is…Oscars Nomination Day.

It’s a morning filled with dreaded anticipation, waiting to hear your favorite movies get selected for Cinema’s Highest honor by complete (and famous) strangers. Naturally, each year is filled with joyful celebrations as the voting members “got it right”, immediately followed by: “I’ve never even HEARD of that movie!”, or “NOOO! NOT [Insert Actor’s Name]”, or “THAT MOVIE IS TERRIBLE - HOW DID IT GET SO MANY NOMINATIONS!!!”.

Discussing the Good, the Bad, and the Emilia Perez, Cam & Kirk will champion their favorite nominees, and criticize the others because…they’re critics.

In our latest SPOILER FREE episode, we’ll dissect the best and worst parts of WOLF MAN, which will either have you howling all the way to the theater, or clicking NEXT EPISODE on your 4th rewatch of The OFFICE.

Epic films. Lawrence of Arabia, Ben Hur, Braveheart, the list goes on. Cinema history is filled with long, sweeping epic films that have mastered the art of storytelling on the largest scale. In 2024, Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist released, vying for a spot in the pantheon of celebrated film epics, a spot that has not been filled in some time as these types of films seemingly become rarer each year.

The question is, did Brady Corbet accomplish his goal of creating a modern epic about a Hungarian refugee who lands in America in the aftermath of WWII. Starring Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce, Felicity Jones, and other fantastic actors, it would seem the cast is more than up to the task. In this spoiler-free The Brutalist Review, Cam, Kirk, and their guest, Popcorn for Breakfast Contributor, Stefano, discuss all aspects of the 3.5-hour long film and determine where it stands among 2024 releases as well as the great epics of all time.

Don’t forget to share your comments on this film with us on our Discord server (linked below)!

What defines a movie as a classic? In Robert Eggers' new imagining of NOSFERATU, we journey deep into the world of Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård), the oldest "living" vampire. The nocturnal bloodsucker has a new obsession: a husband (Nicholas Hoult), sent to his home to aid in purchasing a home closer to civilization, and his wife (Lily Rose-Depp), who Orlok quickly discovers is more than meets the eye.

It's another SPOILER FREE review, join Cam & Kirk.

Every awards season there is a biopic anchored by a “transformative performance” from a big named actor that scoops up a ton of nominations as well as the hearts of viewers and awards voters everywhere. That’s not to say that these types of movies don’t have merit as many of them do! Nevertheless, it is a pattern we see repeated year after year. This year’s entry into that collection of films is A Complete Unknown from director James Mangold starring Timotheé Chalamet as Bob Dylan. On paper, the film checks a lot of boxes for “awards bait,” but does it come together to make a respectable biopic rather than another cookie cutter formula biopic? Check out our thoughts and then share yours in our Discord server!

Since Moana was released to streaming services, it’s been played more than 1 BILLION HOURS. That’s over 150,000 years of watching Moana in less than 10 years since its release. Suffice to say, those are big shoes to fill. Initially, MOANA 2 was announced as a Disney+ series. Only in February of its same release year did we learn that it was being reworked into a feature film. Can the underdog story of everyone’s favorite wayfinder survive such a conversion, or will she wipe out entirely in a sea of popular theater releases. Join us to find out our take and share your opinions with us in the comments, on our discord server (linked below), or any of our many social media platforms.

What’s your Roman Empire? For Cam and Kirk, they’ve been thinking about Gladiator 2 since 2000. TWENTY-FOUR years later, their dreams are coming true. We also have questions:

-Can GLADIATOR II also summon wins for BEST PICTURE and BEST ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE?

-Will this supposed shark scene in the colosseum be exhilarating or cringe deluxe?

-Will it bring in a bigger audience than WICKED, releasing the same weekend?

We’ve got answers…and it’s all packed neatly into this SPOILER FREE Movie Review Episode.

If you aren’t entertained after this episode, we will volunteer in the next Gladiator Challenge ourselves as punishment.
