How do you create a mafia film without actually being about the mob? J.C Chandor was able to do so by creating a story about a heating oil company that follows an immigrant and his wife looking to expand their business while keeping competitors at bay. A film with beautiful shots, an interesting story, and well-executed dialogue. There is not much to hate about this film other than the name might not warrant the film itself. Nevertheless, this is definitely a film to check out because when it feels scary to jump,that is exactly when you jump.  

Winter is cold in Red Rock, and the people are even colder as Tarantino's 8th feature film showcases 8 main characters with little good about them. What seems at first like an escort film turns into a western murder mystery before our eyes. A film that has some of the most diverse and interesting characters with fantastic world-building and one-liners that only Quentin himself could write. All you need to know is you only need to hang mean bastards, but mean bastards you need to hang!

As we come to our 100th episode we want to thank you for watching these films with us and following us along the way. For this, we have to do something that is near and dear to our hearts and that is Sam Raimi's sequel film. A film that perfectly blends comedy and horror together as Ash starts to take the form of the character we know him today. The film that started our friendship and inevitably this podcast, we hope you have a "Groovy" time with this one.

Uh oh, we fucked up a little. What was supposed to be the next episode is now this week to uphold a memorable film to discuss for our 100th episode. Today we are talking about Bong Joon-Ho's film as it focuses heavily on social class and survival of the fittest as members of the back of the snowpiercer look to fight their way to the front to prove that they belong. While it does have quite a few drawbacks regarding the story, there is a lot to like about this film. Tune in as we discuss why the train is eternal.

Once again we have a film that Zach really likes, but Frank is just not that into it. The first reboot of the Godzilla franchise as Toho works to create something truly unique. A Godzilla film that focuses on what the government would actually do in a situation such as this. A Godzilla that looks the best he has ever looked still has a few CGI scenes that don't live up to the massive radioactive lizard. Listen as we argue about whether this is a good film or not as a city is doomed, and a god incarnate.

Today we wonder if by some chance this could be a good film, that maybe we remembered it wrong from when we were younger, maybe it could be a cult classic in the making? We were wrong. Today we discuss an awkward film that borders on the Sci-Fi/horror style that leads alot into shock value. While certain aspects of this film did hold up and some scenes are genuinely terrifying, splicing together human and animal DNA begs the question, what could possibly go wrong? 

In this day and age does it truly work to do everything by the book? Today we discuss Sicario, a very realistic showcase of what it takes to take down the Cartel. A film with a great score, beautiful shots, and unique performances from Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro as they play two secret ops soldiers trying to make a dent in the Mexican Cartel. A film that has a powerful message that asks, can you be a wolf? because this is the land of the wolves.

In his first American film by Yorgos Lanthimos, he explores some themes that make this one of our favorite films to date as the final one we have to discuss. In a nutshell, this film focuses on the theme of co-dependency with a dystopian world, and one very weird thing, If you do not have a partner, you could be turned into an animal(Yeah!). With a unique story, a beautiful score, and a wonderful cast there is not a lot to be disappointed in, only the decision of what animal to be turned into. 

One year ago today we started this podcast and want to thank all of you who have listened to us and continue to do so! We appreciate all of you as today we discuss a film called Take Shelter. Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon play a southern couple dealing with mental illness, visions of an approaching storm, and the implosion of a family. Although, some of the story becomes confusing and with that, we question what really happened by the end and have a few theories of our own. Nevertheless, there is a storm coming, and we are prepared for it! 

We all look to social media in one way or another for our news, fashion tips, or friendship but when we do this we have to take into consideration a company that made it worldwide, Facebook. Today we discuss the film that in almost a dramatization style follows the creation of this site. A well-versed cast that made this feel less of real-life and more of a fantasy, we break down how the company came to be and all the trials that took for us, in this day and age to just say, "Facebook me".
