This episode we dip into a very unique genre with 80s cult classics. First up is Heathers, a truly inexplicable and enjoyably dark teen film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. Next up we have one of Lindsay's favorite, the John Water's film Hairspray. Enjoy!

This week we celebrate the filmography of one of the greatest gangster-actors of our generation, who for the record is a great actor in general. First we have a childhood favorite of Lindsay's, Corrina, Corrina. A surprisingly sincere look at the best and worst parts of classic 60s Americana, this film really let's the less known soft-side of Liotta shine. Then we talk about his arguably most famous film, Goodfellas. This best-of Scorsese film really gave Liotta the space to shine as the epitome of a gangster and truly set the stage for his long and successful career. Enjoy!

Stemming from western films of past generations, the classic "shoot 'em up" film genre has grow so much in the last few decades. Our first film by John Wood, Hard Boiled, really shows the roots of the gun-centric action-packed films. Then we discuss a more 21st century take on the genre with James McAvoy's breakout action film Wanted. Also starring an always bad ass Angelina Jolie I must add. Enjoy!

Movie magic takes on a different meaning in this episode where we cover the magician genre. First up is the Nolan drama starring Christian Bale & Hugh Jackman as rival magicians in The Prestige. Then we jump back in time to the 1953 film starring real life couple Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis as Bess and Harry Houdini. Enjoy!

It's a tale as old as time - family embarks on a road trip, hijinks ensue, memories are made. This week we're covering the classic storyline of a family road trip. First up with have Are We There Yet starring the one and only Ice Cube. This movie definitely leans in to the classic, lampoon-esque version of this genre in a great way. Then we talk about a very different version of this story in Little Miss Sunshine with an ensemble cast too deep to name here, but they are a huge part of why this indie movie about a family road-trip turned out to be such a success. Enjoy! 

To round out our Oscar journey, we're sharing our predictions for this year's Academy Awards. We share our favorites, who we think the Academy will recognize, and a few snubs. Enjoy!

Part two of our deep dive into Oscar history has arrived. In this episode we cover Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Actress, Best Director and Best Picture. Enjoy!

In preparation for our annual Oscars episode, we're taking a trip down the Academy Award memory lane. In the first of a two part-er, we cover Best Supporting Actress, Actor, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Score and Best Adapted Screenplay. This episode is chock-full of controversy. Enjoy!

In this episode we jump into a most beloved genre: space thrillers. First we have the granddaddy of them, 2001. We can't say this is one of our favorite Stanley Kubrick films, but it's worth reviewing as it really did change the trajectory of space films. Then we have the understated yet masterful Moon starring Sam Rockwell. We're on a bit of a Sam Rockwell kick it would seem, and we're definitely okay with it. Enjoy!

A personal favorite as far as genres go, we're doing con movies! First up we have the Ridley Scott film Matchstick Men starring the oddly perfect duo Nicholas Cage and Sam Rockwell. This film is a unique departure for Scott and the dynamic story and acting really deliver. Then we dig into the OG of con movies, The Sting starring heartthrobs Paul Newman and Robert Redford. This film really set the stage for many of the modern con movies we know and love. Enjoy!
