There is a time in history that many people would prefer not to bring up due to the severity of what transpired. This film not only talks about it but is able to create an anti-hate satire from it showcasing that you can make even the most negative ideas into a positive. In this film, we follow Jojo, a 10-year-old german nazi during WW2 with Hitler as his imaginary friend as Jojo learns to love and befriend someone he was told to hate in a fun comedy. There are, however, some very dark moments that you don't expect in this, but with the quirky style and natural humor created from it, you have a film that is as impactful as it is fun. Knowing that we are all free to enjoy this one, all you can do is dance.

Something we have taken for granted during the pandemic is the experience of that first date idea, that bored on a Saturday night with friends, that general activity of checking out a new film that just came out, movie theaters. Today we discuss our experiences at the movie theaters and what has become the most memorable to us. From the first to the last and everything in between, we break down what we have taken away and while we do have amazon prime and HBO max now, nothing compares to getting a large popcorn and soda, sitting down with your friends and enjoying a good film. 

Not enough films nowadays have a strong message while being so unique and entertaining. However, this film delivers as we follow Goreng, a man who has volunteered to spend 6 months in "The Hole" in exchange for a college diploma. What he does not know is The Hole is a vertical prison with a level you must spend one month on, and a platform of food that lowers for one minute each day. Depending on the level determines how much food you will have causing many below a certain level to fend for themselves in horrific ways. A clever film on the balance of overconsumption, government control, and social classes we encourage you to check out this unique film as it is "obviously" a fun time.

Films themselves are defined by genres. Ranging from Adventure to action, Romance to Horror, and Drama to comedy. There are a plethora of film genres that have come out since the creation of movies often having their own sub-genres due to the rise of some and the very existence creating what film lovers want to watch the most. In all of this, there are many who believe that some may be better than others, and some as bold to say as one is the best. Today we discuss what we feel the best is to both of us as we take an in-depth look at how genres can shape a masterpiece on screen.

The desire to better yourself, provide for your family better, and above all else grow a little bit richer is a concept that ways heavy on a lot of people's minds. This is the plot to a hidden gem of 2020 as we follow Rory and his family as they relocate from America to the UK for a huge opportunity. However, not everything is somber and peaceful as a slow decent of the family builds once a secret is revealed. This film does suffer from a time restriction that makes you feel like you need a little more development from each character but this is a slow burn with a perfect ending that will have you wondering if you even know your loved ones anymore.

Nothing is better than having a film series that you love dearly, one that you see a story expand and causes you to see everything that comes out in the future. However, it always seems like there's one movie that comes out that just isn't as good as the last and what happens if another comes out and the same thing but worse or another one? Today we discuss why we think this happens and when is a film series it's own worst enemy. We dive into some of the most recognizable film series in history and talk about what we think went well and when it all went downhill for some.

Something we all take for granted in life is the simple act of hearing. Just listening to the breeze or birds chirping is something we barely notice in life but when you play in a band, that is all you have to make a living. In this heartbreaking film, we follow a drummer Ruben who very quickly loses his hearing and must learn to cope with life as well as do whatever he can to gain back his girlfriend Lou. A story that is equally sad as it is compelling, you will have chills the entire time watching and just hoping to see him find that comfort in silence.

Many people, whether it be as a child or a young adult at the time remember a different world before streaming, before Netflix, in which the only way to see new films in your home, was through Blockbuster. What seemed for a long time as a juggernaut simply died out due to new advancements with technology, but that doesn't mean we don't miss it dearly. At its peak, it was a community of film lovers willing to spend the extra money, rent, and risk late fees to see what they care about. What may seem like a simple answer is deep-dived further to really see if it could possibly come back in any form and if you want this too happen too

This one is definitely out there and really makes you think about cult classics as a whole and what that means. While slightly hard to explain this film it follows Paul, a prince, realizing his full potential and bringing peace to the galaxy by destroying the production of spice and the feud of 4 families. This film may have some of the worst CGI that we have ever seen but also has a few moments of action, suspense, and fantasy that is unmatched. If nothing else this film makes us want to know more of the lore from the books, but until then, we'll just keep waiting for the seeker to awaken. 

What is it about horror movies that stick with us when we are young? Could it be the monster under the bed, the murder that could be lurking behind you in the dark alleyway, or perhaps the figure who seems like a normal person with much darker intentions? Today we take a look at these films that for us throughout all these years scared us, even if they are films that aren't particularly horror films but maybe even scene that are just too scary for kids altogether. Double-check the closet and make sure the night lights are on as we dive into the films that terrified us as kids.
