New 4K restorations of some John Woo classics have been returning to the big screen, with the first one being the iconic, influential HARD BOILED. Lauren & Aaron revisited it recently, leading to an intense discussion about what "restoration" truly means, along with the overall career of the King of Hong Kong Action Cinema.

2025 was a banner year for movie lovers: Sinners, One Battle After Another, Weapons, Marty Supreme, and much, much more. With the Oscars telecast about one month away, Lauren & Aaron discuss their favorite nominated films of last year, who/what got snubbed, and their favorite 2025 movies and performances that didn't stand a chance of getting a nomination.

2025 was a banner year for movie lovers: Sinners, One Battle After Another, Weapons, Marty Supreme, and much, much more.

Much like they did for their Gateway Horror episode, Lauren & Aaron tackle the holiday movies that enchanted them when they were young...and what "modern classics" they've since added to their annual holiday viewing repertoire.

The holidays are here once again, which means it's time to talk about DIE HARD...and the Christmas-adjacent GHOSTBUSTERS II, which Lauren only recently saw for the first time!

The iconic score. The iconic lines. The iconic characters. After a recent October rewatch of William Friedkin's adaptation of William Peter Blatty's harrowing novel THE EXORCIST, it seemed like the perfect time to discuss this iconic film.

Ghostface may ask, "What's your favorite scary movie?", but Lauren & Aaron ask the question, "What was your first scary movie?" Get ready for a deep dive into the favorites that scared them as kids...and what scares them now. Plus, some other fun stuff!

Over 40 years after its initial release, cult horror classic SLEEPAWAY CAMP finally receives the novelization treatment! Aaron & Lauren sat down with the novelization's author BR Flynn to talk about their writing process, the film's enduring legacy, and more.

Thirty years before Taylor Swift, actress Elizabeth Berkley donned fishnets and feathers -- and not much else -- in Paul Verhoeven's SHOWGIRLS. Aaron & Lauren, along with special guest Sam Hurdich, discuss how and why the cult classic has endured for three decades. Recorded live at PHX Fan Fusion 2025.

In conjunction with the discussion of KPOP DEMON HUNTERS and eventized cinema, Aaron & Lauren timewarp to June 2025, where they discussed the importance of theatrical exhibition and what the moviegoing trends currently look like, in front of a live audience at Phoenix Fan Fusion.
