Before you even get settled into the plot, characters, or settings in a film, you usually get a title screen. While these come in very different ways from elaborate to barely even noticeable, we decided to open this one up by breaking down some of the intros that we found to be the best. As always we wanna know some of your favorites as we cut to a hard screen and show you what this episode is about with our favorite film title screens

There are a lot of ways that you can get away from your past, some change their names, others may move to the woods and start truffle farming. Today we follow the story of Nicolas Cage playing a former chef who goes on a journey to find his truffle pig who has been stolen. A film that is not a "warm and fuzzy" story but rather a very realistic tale of what happens all too often in this world. This film has some beautiful acting and directing that proves it was a standout film at the end of 2021. This film shows you a lot and at the same time tells us to use stale bread for french toast next time

The art of comedy is something that easily brings together a story, and can enhance any film. However, sometimes there are those moments that make us bust out laughing in films that aren't designed to. Today we wanna know what made you laugh about The Shinning or what you chuckled from Cast Away as we discuss those moments in history that non-comedic films gave us comedy.

The mind is a delicate thing that can unravel at any moment, but it doesn't just happen out of nowhere. Today we take a look at ways that it can unwind as we follow the story of Sarah, a quirky introvert who while having a love for crafts and horses, might just be a clone from alien technology? A film that has a beautiful aesthetic, as well as an interesting mental health story, is not without its faults when it comes to not committing fully to the story that unfolds. While this one didn't land fully, it's still something to check out leaving you to wonder, "do they have a test for that?"

One thing that is very unique in films is the ability to keep you thinking one thing and then completely flip it on its head. While some have made a career off of having these in films, there are those times that catch you off guard and that's what we're talking about today. As always we wanna know some of your favorites whether they be that you've been dead the whole time, the devil is the old lady in the elevator, or your dad is the biggest baddy in the galaxy as we talk about plot twists in films.

The power of a war film has always been a popular as well as a realistic way to bring a story to life. The thing that makes this film different from most is that 2/3 of the movie, you do not see the war. We follow the story of Mike, Nick, and Linda mainly as they navigate life before, during, and after the Vietnam war. A stellar performance from all angles with a fitting soundtrack shows that you can have a war film that perfectly shows what it does to the individuals involved, and you only need one shot to show it.

As life progresses it is only natural to adapt and create things in order to make our lives easier. However, if films have taught us anything, that is not always the best thing to happen. Technology is a blessing and a curse and today we take a look at some of our favorite moment's machines took charge. As always we want to hear some of your favorites as we load the shotgun and show those buckets of bolts who's boss with films of humanity vs technology 

There are those films that are described as "the best film ever" however, those films barely feel as if they live up to this, except this one. Following the death of Charles Kane, a reporter wishes to find out the meaning of his last words "Rosebud". A story that for 1941 has no reason being a marvel in cinematography as well as the practical effects for its time but it was made all the same. It is hard to have something negative to say about this film which is why if you haven't seen it you have to experience it for yourself

Our whole lives we've been brought up to hate the bad guys in films, to know that they are evil and there needs to be good that stops them. However, there are some instances in which our main character happens to be a very bad person. As always please let us know some of your best baddies while we take a look at those leading characters that love to be bad as villain protagonists. 

The holidays are always a time when a family can get together and spend some time that they wouldn't usually. With that, it doesn't always go as plan and that is what this film is about as we see three generations of a family meeting for Thanksgiving. While this film may sound "boring" to most, it is a very complex film about nothing more than a family existing. Incredible camera movement, as well as dialogue that feels real, brings this film freedom and a sense of curiosity that even you may be chugging a beer and playing pig smash after watching this.
