Can you find the wolves in this picture?

This week on The Dive-In, Hayden & Wesley are talking Martin Scorsese and his latest feature, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’.

We discuss this story’s impact in his filmography, the choice to centre the story on the antagonist’s perspective and if it was an effective choice, the 3 leading cast members and how they each individually stand out in their own way, the film’s length and if it’s too long for it’s own good or not, plus much more!

This week on The Dive-In, fight only the battle you’re paid to fight. Forbid empathy. Empathy is weakness..

we’re talking David Fincher’s ‘The Killer’ and where it ranks amongst his filmography, his return to the Crime-Thriller genre, Michael Fassbender and why he remains such a captivating screen presence, the episodic nature to the film’s structure and if it works, if the movie is trying to just be a sleek crime movie or something a little bit deeper, plus much more!

This week on The Dive-In, Hayden & Wesley are headed to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria to chat the video-game adaptation of the hit game series ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’.

We discuss the massive success of the film at the box office and what it means for the future of the franchise, why we felt the movie falls flat as not only a horror movie but in general despite moments of potential, the massive fan-base and lore of the games and film, Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard’s performances and why they’re both still great despite the movie as a whole, if this movie would have been improved with a better (and campier) script, and much more!

I let you in.. talk to me. This week on The Dive-In, Hayden & Wesley are talking the latest A24 horror release, ‘Talk to Me’. We discuss why it’s one of the best horror films of 2023, the stand-out performance from newcomer Sophie Wilde and the promising career she has ahead of her, the creative spin on the ‘Possession’ film, the ways in which the film bottles the thrill of parties into a horror film, the Drug Addiction metaphor at the centre of the film, the film’s most disturbing moments, what the upcoming sequel might look like, and much more!

This week on The Dive-In, the power of Christ compels us to revisit William Friedkin’s 1973 masterpiece, ‘The Exorcist’ and it’s recently released sequel ‘The Exorcist: Believer’, discussing what makes the original such a masterpiece in Horror filmmaking, why we think it’s one of the scariest films ever made even after 50 years, the enduring impact it had and continues to have on the Horror genre, & the ways in which it takes it’s time building the characters and world before all hell is unleashed, before we dive into Believer in comparison to the original, the ways in which Believer fails the name of ‘The Exorcist’, why it feels less like the original and more like any possession movie to come out in recent years, where it succeeds as a Exorcist sequel and the many ways it fails, why it being a trilogy already proves itself to be unnecessary, and much more..

This week on The Dive-In, Hayden & Wesley are finally joined once again by Jon Carter & Gerardo Molina from The Cast of Color to talk about everyone’s favourite heroes in a half-shell! They discuss the history and staying power of the Turtles in Pop Culture & the various previous incarnations of TMNT in TV & Film before diving into the latest version, ‘Mutant Mayhem’ and its updated modern-day teenager depictions of the characters, plus much more!

Back like they never left! This week, Hayden & Wesley are talking about what they’ve been up too in the time since the last episode of the podcast, the continuing Writers and Actors strike dominating the Film industry, and discuss 10 movies (some they loved, some they didn’t) that they didn’t cover from throughout the year of 2023 so far.

In the second episode of the Barbenheimer double feature, Hayden & Wesley are talking Christopher Nolan’s latest (… and perhaps greatest?) film, ‘Oppenheimer’. They discuss why it’s so exciting to see a 3 hour historical drama doing so well in theatres, why this movie demands to be seen in IMAX, the cast and how it features every single ‘I know that guy!’ actor working in the industry right now, Oppenheimer as a real individual and how the moral dilemmas he raises as a person are so interesting to see played out, what parts of the film stood out most, the lack of any CGI throughout the film and how Nolan might have went about making the film in that fashion, the absolutely chilling ending and what it might be trying to say about the future of the Earth, and much more!

The Movie Event of the year has arrived in the form of Barbenheimer, the ‘Oppenheimer’ & ‘Barbie’ double feature! To discuss Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated film, Hayden & Wesley are joined by Amy Reno for a journey to Barbieland. They discuss the double feature itself and how it’s taken the world by storm, Margot Robbie & Ryan Gosling’s brilliant performances as Barbie and Ken, how Greta Gerwig inserts heart and genuine emotion in a movie that’s equal measures over-the-top, and much more!

This week on The Dive-In.. our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to discuss the latest installment of Mission Impossible!
