As we go through life there are many milestones that we, as humans, achieve. However, the one thing you can never truly prepare for is aging, and with it certain things that are uncurable. We follow the story of Anthony as he faces the struggles of dementia while his daughter Anne faces the hardships of taking care of him. An emotional film that shows the horrific side of dementia in the most beautiful way and a performance that is oscar worthy as well. You will definitely feel for him, but at least he has his watch.

Arguably the most interactive experiences are that of video games and films. However, when you have a platform like video games in which you are able to grow, adapt, and care for these characters in an extended timeframe, it's hard to get that same kind of emotion from a 90-minute film. Today we discuss the issues surrounding those classic beat em ups and shooters when they trade in their controllers for box office seats. As always we would love to hear your debates about what you think as we jump on a goomba, collect a few rings, and as you to "get over here" to check this one out.  

When your eyes become open to such a bizarre inconceivable world, can you ever truly go back to what you knew before? In this psychological mystery, we follow Lockheart who is tasked with going to Switzerland to bring back an executive from a wellness facility. However, what transpires is much more than a simple mission and it may just involve a lot of eels. A film that has so much to offer from set designs, overall shots, and tension building that it's a shame it wasn't more recognized. As always, there are some things that just seem to drag on but as long as you don't drink the water, everything will be alright.

Perhaps one of the most devastating things when watching a trailer is seeing a concept so unique and fresh that you can't wait, only to finally see it and it is completely awful. While some films have a way of reimaging these ideas into actually good films, we can't help but to take a look back at some that just weren't so lucky. As always we would love to hear some of the films that you think we're a cool idea but just done poorly as we discuss this topic, only for another podcast a few years later to make a remake much better.

In the time before us, dinosaurs ruled the earth. In the time after that, a movie was created that for us to talk about dinosaurs. When Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler are invited to a private island showcasing a new theme park revolved around bringing dinosaurs back to life, the beauty of life also insues mayhem.  One of Steven Spielberg's most iconic films gives us a star-studded cast that shows a film geared towards kids can be so much fun for adults at the same time as well as fantastic animatronics. There may never be another film franchise like this again and that's why need to talk about it because life, finds a way.

No other type of film can be as immersive, to have the film be as interactive with the audience, or more so literally jump out from the screen at you than 3D films, but are they worth it? Something that may be more geared towards kids has mostly died out all together and has no real revival insight. What some films used to heighten the actual experience, most just used it as a way to sell more tickets and actually hurt the films being shown with no real reason for it. As always we would love to hear what you think about 3D movies but for us, we just have to ask, what's the point?

The act of marriage can be a beautiful thing sharing your life with the person you love, however, when time and reality sets in it can change things and possibly lead to....murder? In this captivating story, we follow Nick who's wife Amy has gone missing or possibly killed after returning home from work. What unravels is a film that plays everyone against each other with so many twists that you never really know if Nick is responsible or perhaps Amy has more to her than is led to believe. Nevertheless, this is another great film by David Fincher and will leave you wondering, "What have we done to each other".

A story cannot be told without someone who rises above the rest, someone who stares evil right in the face, a white knight to save the day, a hero. While there can be some debate over a hero vs protagonist in films, today we decided to just talk about our favorites and why we cheer them on through it all. As always we would love to hear who your favorite heroes are in films as well, but for our picks, we're just happy to be saved from the evil tower guarded by a dragon.

Finally, the conclusion has come to a trilogy that we have followed for the past month now and it's such a joy when it can be caped off just right. Soldiers have been alerted of Caesar's location as they attempt to stop him and the apes while showcasing the lasting effects Koba has made on the world. As always the CGI is unmatched, as well as flushing out characters in an extraordinary way that makes you care for side characters. While this film feels less of a "war" and more of an espionage mission it does deliver on everything that has been promised so far. Caesar didn't start this war but we finished it

From nachos to hotdogs, and from pretzels to popcorn the only thing better than enjoying a good film is having a good snack to go with it. Today we discuss the reason why movie snacks are the ones they are and also attempt to dive into the history of where popcorn and soda originated from. As always we would love to hear your favorite theater snacks as we mix the red and blue slushies to discuss ours
