An hour ago Ivan Locke had a family and a home, now he has nothing. A film that stars Tom Hardy as the only character on screen, we follow him on a car ride while making very intense and personal phone calls. While it may sound simplistic, the story unfolds in a very tense way with a great performance from Tom Hardy and some very well placed shots. By the end of the film, you may not believe whats happened but you will know, he's on his way.

Today we discuss the debut film of Jordan Peele. A film that sparked a great deal of conversation about racism and perception within society today. While it is evident that this is a debut film, having issues with an odd soundtrack, reliance on wide camera angles, and plot holes within the story, it does, however, have a great cast and is well written. Listen as we sink into the sunken place and if you have watched this film yet, you'll need to witness it "with your eyes man"  

A city filled only with violence, sex, drugs, and corruption. All your able to do is just survive. Today we get to talk about one of the few movies Frank Miller has directed, based on the comic series he created. Following the stories of John Hartigan, Dwight, and Marv we get to examine the dangerous city for what it is in a noir comic design. While there are always some drawbacks to the film, Sin City pulls you in with a star-studded cast and ends the film with "A Hard Goodbye" to the audience.  

What would happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong button? In perhaps one of the best movies ever made, we discuss the story of a world on the brink of a new nuclear war at hand. A fantastic satire film that blends comedy and tension perfectly. Listen as we talk about Plan R, Peter Seller, and Kubrick himself. Just remember though, there is no fighting in the war room.

"It was just a color out of space, a frightful messenger from unformed realms of infinity beyond all nature as we know it" A film that does a lot of things right for an adaptation that also falls back heavily at times with cliches. A gorgeous film to watch with great body horror and a few new twists, Zach is very happy to be doing a faithful Lovecraft film while Frank is fine with it, going in with no expectations. Either way, don't drink the water.

A man who has nothing to lose has everything to gain. Usually this sentence would make sense, however, for Howard this could not be further from the truth. A jewelry salesman in the heart of New York City with a bad gambling problem puts everything on the line day by day in a heart-pounding, tense film. The latest installment from the Safdie brothers will have you on the edge of your seat wanting him to succeed because this is how he wins.

We're back with another character study with one of the most well-known characters in comic books and recent film. Today we discuss the mentally troubled Arthur Fleck and how society abandoned him and drove him to what he would be renowned for. A great study of not just mental illness in today's day and age but also of how we as a society itself works. Listen as we ask the tough questions and dive into what drove this man to become, The Joker.

Imagine watching a movie on the couch and suddenly notice someone in the film who looks EXACTLY like you. This same thing occurs as Adam, a college professor, attempts to track down an actor named Anthony, once they meet its only the beginning of their story. In a film that plays on split personality disorder in a very interesting way, it also has giant spiders that we take a crack at trying to find the metaphor in. Enemy will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time and have you wonder, who is real?

In a brand new segment for everyone, we discuss not the film itself, but a specific character from the film. The first pick for this segment also happens to be from the first podcast we ever released. From the fantastic film of There Will Be Blood, we discuss the flawed main character of Daniel Plainview, an alcoholic, money-hungry, hateful man who you just can't help but root for. Listen as we explain why we think this and answer many more questions.

A nonstop thrill ride as a man who takes up getaway driving gets wrapped up in a much bigger problem than he ever wanted. What is less about driving becomes more about making things right for a mother and her small child by stopping a local mob in sunny California. A film with an excellent cast and a gorgeous color pattern going for it. When you are only given 5 minutes of his time, a lot can go wrong.
