This week proved interesting as we looked at the exact same plot holes and felt completely opposite ways about the film. Ghost Ship, our first film from before 2012, divided us in ways we'd never expected and sparked passionate debate and research to figure out the rights and wrongs of this story. We get so far into some of the debates that we say the wrong words twice in a row *cough "latitude" instead of "longitude" cough* (and didn't catch it) and often don't have the words to express why it just fell short. Prepare for an adventure with this episode!

This episode concludes our four-part adventure down Daniel Radcliffe Lane! Having seen these four films, we will likely revisit more of his titles, hidden in obscurity away from the prying eyes of the A-list. Victor Frankenstein did not fail to impress us with its interesting take on established characters and opened a lot of doors to medical ethics, genre debate, and mad science.

We dove into an interesting rabbit hole that started with this comedic...piece. Part 1 of 4 of our Daniel Radcliffe special series focuses on this action/comedy that left us with mixed feelings.

This year launched with an incredible action movie right out of the gate called Nobody. Full of intense scenes and macabre comedy, this film surprisingly had a modestly deep story and fun, interesting details that made it stand out.

This episode covers Kevin Lewis's 2021 cult masterpiece Willy's Wonderland. Stuffed full of sentient robotic mascots and cheesy 80s tropes, this movie scratched an itch we didn't know we had.
