Does this fresh take on Superman suck? Does it not suck? Will it turn around D.C.'s thus-far disastrous attempts at crafting a Marvel-esque cinematic universe? The Doggett brothers tackle these questions and more in this episode.

We also dissect the film, covering its highs (great effects, fresh story beats), lows (paper-thin logic, some classic comic book contrivances), and everything in between. Along the way we crack jokes, derail into tangents about Superman’s love life, and have a heated debate over what the hell a proton river is.

It’s a fun, fast-paced episode. Check it out, or we’ll sic Krypto on you.

In this week’s teaser, we review a zany, fast-paced Indiana Jones ripoff starring Jim from The Office.

This film is a direct-to-streaming Apple TV product directed by Guy Ritchie. Yes, you read that right. The Guy Ritchie. Naturally, we see how many references to his other (better) movies we can jam into this episode. Plus, we break out our amazingly accurate and not-at-all-grating British accents. You’re welcome.

Some of us enjoyed the movie, despite its obvious shortcomings, but others were bored to tears. And while we nearly come to blows discussing this one, we all agree on one thing: the sexual tension between Matt and John Krasinski is palpable.

Listen for the brotherly banter, stay for some genuine film discussion (and a few Jordan Peterson impressions).

Fountain of Youth is a 2025 action adventure film written by James Vanderbilt and directed by Guy Ritchie. It stars John Krasinski, Natalie Portman, Eiza González, Domhnall Gleeson, Laz Alonso, and Stanley Tucci.

From “gritty action thriller” to “wait, is this a comedy?”

It’s hard not to compare a sequel to its predecessor, but we try our best as we discuss The Accountant 2 in this week’s episode.

From Ben Affleck’s confusing character shift and the convoluted plot, to the poor writing and more John Bernthall than some of us can handle, there’s a lot to say about this film. Luckily, the mess gives us plenty of material, and we somehow manage to keep the episode shorter than the actual movie.

The Accountant 2 is a 2025 action-comedy film directed by Gavin O'Connor and written by Bill Dubuque. It stars Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, J. K. Simmons, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, and Daniella Pineda.

What do you get when you combine the director of Rain Man, the writer of Goodfellas, and Robert De Niro in a dual role as opposing mobsters?

You’ll have to listen to this teaser to find out. ;)

De Niro vs. De Niro, mobster clichés galore, and a by-the-books mob story. As always, we fill in the gaps with jokes, tangents, and our own terrible mob impressions.

This fast-moving episode is chock-full of laughter, references to other mob movies (mostly The Departed), and more genuine film discussion than we usually manage. Give it a listen!

The Alto Knights is a 2025 biographical crime drama directed by Barry Levinson and written by Nicholas Pileggi. It stars Robert De Niro, Robert De Niro, Debra Messing, Cosmo Jarvis, Michael Rispoli, and Kathrine Narducci.

Tune into this episode to find out why only GUYS can bust a nut, er, ghost, why our brother Stew fled the country for Germany, why the Devil is banned from the Motherland, how to eat a fartcicle, and why ceramic hands that channel spirits are watery…

We didn’t have high expectations for a movie made by YouTubers, but this one was a pleasant surprise. They seem to know what they’re doing with script writing and telling the story efficiently and visually. Dan even said, “They always have the camera in the right place… most of the time.”

Talk To Me is a clever twist on a seance horror movie that’s so well done we can hardly believe it’s the first film by co-directors and former YouTubers.

Talk to Me is a 2022 Australian horror film directed by brothers Danny and Michael Philippou and written by Danny Philippou and Bill Hinzman. It stars Sophie Wilde, Alexandra Jensen, Otis Dhanji, Miranda Otto, Joe Bird, Zoe Terakes, Marcus Johnson, Chris Alosio, and Alexandria Steffensen.

What would you get if you asked ChatGPT to write you a script combining Die Hard, White House Down, and Air Force One? G20.

Wow. Where to start? This movie is a mess. But the messier the movie, the funner the review. And we have a blast tearing apart this made-for-TV Olympus Has Fallen.

Viola Davis’s talents are wasted as she plays an ex-military President who gets stuck in a hostage situation with a bunch of other world leaders. With a nonsensical plot driven by the most clichéd bad guys you can imagine, we can’t help but cringe in embarrassment for everyone involved.

If you want a movie where everything is recycled, every beat is predictable, and the dialogue is so bad it would make a middle-school creative writing class blush, then this film is for you.

But if you would rather be entertained, listen to this episode and laugh along with us.

G20 is a 2025 action thriller directed by Patricia Riggen and written by Caitlin Parrish, Erica Weiss, and Noah and Logan Miller. It stars Viola Davis, Antony Starr, Anthony Anderson, Marsai Martin, Ramón Rodríguez, and Douglas Hodge.

What looks more like a radiation victim than a wolfman? The “creatures” in the 2025 Wolf Man reboot.

This reimagining of the classic Universal Monster is a swing and a miss, according to the only people that matter — us. It’s more of a slow-burn body horror transformation movie than a creature feature. Unfortunately, the plot is sluggish, the characters are threadbare, and there are too many plot inconsistencies to make it an effective movie on any front.

As we discuss what worked and what didn’t, we find time to joke about our own inability to understand women (even when we’re not turning into beasts), and wonder why the creatures in this film look like Worf after a bad chemical peel. Plus, we try to parse the most confusing ant-vs-wasp cold open of all time.

Wolf Man is a 2025 horror film directed by Leigh Whannell; written by Whannell and Corbett Tuck. It stars Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, and Sam Jaeger.

In this Patron-exclusive episode (thanks, Gary!), we review Jordan Peele’s noir-western alien horror film Nope.

As we huddle under an umbrella protecting us from a downpour of blood and metal objects, we discuss everything from performances and special effects to character development and possible plot holes. While not a perfect film by any means, we all come with positive things to say about this one — and plenty of jokes, too.

There’s a lot to unpack in this movie as we explore themes of spectacle, exploitation, and trauma. Plus, we delve into how the chimpanzee massacre storyline ties into the rest of the movie, and why it’s not a good idea to compare yourself to horses.

Listen now for an entertaining exploration of a rare treat — a well-done Hollywood film that isn’t just “content.”

Nope is a 2022 sci-fi horror film written, directed, and produced by Jordan Peele. It stars Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun, Michael Wincott, and Brandon Perea.

What happens when David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen reunite for a body horror movie about organ-removal performance art?

Unfortunately, not much.

As huge fans of A History of Violence and Eastern Promises, we were excited to see Mortensen and Cronenberg together again, but our excitement didn’t last through the slow and muddled mess that is Crimes of the Future.

Luckily, we make performance art out of tumorous growths in this episode by joking about Jordan Peterson, Rick and Morty, and our hypochondriacal tendencies. We also discuss why this movie didn’t work for us, compare it to other Cronenberg films, and share a few funny anecdotes from our childhood.

Come for the movie review, stay for the jokes and the brotherly banter.

Crimes of the Future is a 2022 sci-fi body horror film written and directed by David Cronenberg. It stars Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux, and Kristen Stewart.

In this teaser clip, we’re down one brother but up a whole lot of laughs as we discuss Heretic.

This intimately claustrophobic horror film ramps up the tension in creative ways. Hugh Grant propels the plot by being sinister, hilarious, and somehow still very likable. The two leads also kill it (literally).

In between jokes, we ask the big questions: What does the ending mean? What does the butterfly represent? And most importantly, how did Topher Grace sneak into this movie?

Tune in now for a deep dive into this well-crafted and well-acted religious horror film from A24.

Heretic is a 2024 psychological horror film, written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. It stars Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, and Chloe East.
