Reboot Already Underway

This week, Jacob is back aboard Aaron's list for the Denzel Washington/Gene Hackman military drama Crimson Tide. The two have no disagreements about the film being far from sub-par.

Aaron suffers growing pains diving back into Jacob's list as the two reconvene on July 4th for one of Adam Sandler's most infamous films, Grown Ups. They both think it chocolate-wasted its premise with a lot of groan-inducing comedy.

The guys emerge from quarantine to enter a world where a pandemic threatening to wipe out all of humanity is exacerbated by virulent racism: Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men. The two find the sci-fi film holds unfortunate evergreen relevance, but don't despair like Clive Owen! They still find plenty of things to kid around about.

Stories of marriage, and deaging hitmen.

Dishonest settlers and bright little women.

Stars in old ages, cars, wars, and clown grins.

One of these will have a Best Picture win...and Jacob and Aaron have seen them all. Hear which are their favorites, and their predictions for the big night.

As the sun sets on spooky season, Aaron and Jacob sink their teeth into the seductive 80s cheese of Fright Night. Both find it to be a bloody delight that just might stake claim to being the ultimate Halloween treat.

Aaron and Jacob are animated to talk the Looney-Tunes stop-motion spectacle of Army of Darkness' spooky, scary skeletons. The film takes Aaron back in time to his homemade fantasy epic, and both hail it as the potential king of cinema, baby.

This week, Aaron and Jacob revive their Mel Brooks dispute with Young Frankenstein. Both do agree that not all its parts are as lively as others, but things get Wilder when Jacob mobs Aaron with his fiery takes.

Jacob and Aaron are psyched to get back to their routine with the social satire American Psycho. Aaron hides his frustrations behind a facade over how well it holds up, while both are glad to have no reservations about director Mary Harron's intentions.

In the pilot episode of Gr(eat/ate)ways to Cinema, Jacob's list of movies immediately spells trouble for Aaron, who has to get through the grind of Grindelwald. Aaron finds its beastly blend of retcons, wheel-spinning, and tone-deaf developments to be far from fantastic, but Jacob still kinda likes it, Hogwarts and all.

Aaron and Jacob come together to talk the mind-bending, low-budget sci-fi film Coherence, hoping to turn their enthusiastic response into a coherent discussion.
