This week on The Dive-In, we’re taking a trip with Cokie the Bear! We’re discussing the newest horror-comedy from actor/director Elizabeth Banks, ‘Cocaine Bear’, getting into the absurdity of the premise and if it commits enough to being the over-the-top campiness it promises, the ‘Based on a True Story’ aspect of the plot and how true it actually is, the star studded cast of talent and who stands out the most amongst all the characters here, the convoluted nature of the plot and if it takes away from the insanity of a Bear on Cocaine, our favourite kills from the film, and much more!

This week on The Dive-In Moviecast, Hayden and Wesley are headed to the Quantum Realm! We discuss the state of the MCU as a whole in the wake of yet another film with mixed to negative reactions, why we were able to enjoy it as a goofy night out at the movies, MODOK in all of his (debatably) glorious stupidity, our thoughts on the Quantum Realm itself and if this film looks good or not, Jonathan Majors and his remarkable performance as Kang the Conqueror, the two Post Credits scenes, and much more!

This week on Look for the Light, Hayden & Wesley are talking about the introduction to Henry & Sam, the changes made to their story and their story arc, the recreation of a fantastic game set piece in one of the show’s biggest and best action moments thus far, what Kathleen means for the story and what her plot is setting into motion, the heart-wrenching ending and how it affects the story going forward, plus much more!

This week on The Dive-In Moviecast, love is in the air! Wesley is joined by his girlfriend Amy to discuss James Cameron’s beloved classic, ‘Titanic’, in honour of not only Valentine’s Day but it’s 25th Anniversary Theatrical Re-Release. The two of them discuss what makes it Amy’s favourite movie of all time, why seeing it theatrically in 3D redefined Wesley’s thoughts on the film, the interesting representation of Class and Status throughout the film, the epic love story between Kate Winslet & Leonardo Dicaprio and the way the disaster of the Titanic sinking serves as a perfect juxtaposition to their love, plus much more!

On this week’s episode of Look for the Light, Hayden and Wesley are discussing ‘Please Hold My Hand’, getting into how effectively this episode works towards building Joel & Ellie’s relationship, the decision to expand upon the Hunters storyline and introduce us to their leader Kathleen played by Melanie Lynskey, the continued use of building their own narrative while recreating some of the best video game moments, the set-up for some of the heavy emotional and action set-pieces in the next episode, and the cliffhanger introduction of Henry & Sam.

This week on ‘Look for the Light’, Hayden Koutras is joined by Brayden McConnell to talk about Episode 3 of The Last of Us, titled ‘Long, Long Time’. We get into the decision to step away from our main narrative only 3 episodes in to focus on two new characters, the ways this episode heavily deviates from how this plot line plays out in the games, why this episode is one of the most moving episodes of TV we’ve seen in quite some time, the love story between Bill & Frank and the ways it shows there is always hope in a world of darkness, and the ways this episode thematically ties into the main narrative that lies ahead.

This week on The Dive-In Moviecast, Hayden & Wesley are talking about the upcoming Awards Season! With the announcement of the nominations for the 95th Academy Awards, we’re talking about what we feel is needed from the Oscars to fix their show in the eyes of public opinion & what we feel audiences tuning in are looking for this year, before getting into all the nominations we felt were well-deserved, the movies we feel were snubbed of the recognition they deserved, and some early predictions on where this year’s show could go and what movie is most likely to win Best Picture!

This week on The Dive-In Moviecast, it's time to get funky! We're joined by recurring guest & close friend of the pod Cole Ross to talk Cooper Raiff's latest film 'Cha Cha Real Smooth'. Hayden & Wesley briefly talk their experience viewing it via Sundance last January and impatiently waiting for it's release before we all discuss if we think it's release via AppleTV hindered it from finding it's audience, it’s unique perspective on life post-college, the amount of relatability people who feel lost in life may find in the film, Cooper Raiff as a actor/director and why we're all such big fans of his style of telling funny & dramatic stories, Dakota Johnson in our favourite performance from her and how she finds empathy in a complicated character, a heart to heart about what it means to figure things out amidst life in our 20’s, and much more!

This week on ‘Look for the Light', Hayden is joined by Wesley to discuss the second episode of HBO's 'The Last of Us', getting into the decision to centre so much of this week’s episode on us getting to see the full extent of what the Cordyceps infection is capable of, the ability to more often explore the quieter moments with our characters when the story is told through Television, the continued attention to detail for fans of the games through not only the dialogue but also the production design, our first encounter with Clickers and if it successfully captures the intensity of those moments, the added pieces of Cordyceps lore, THAT character death and the divisive way it deviates from the games, and more!

One doesn't become a star.. you either are one or you ain't. This week on The Dive-In, co-host Hayden Koutras is joined by recurring guest Joe Depakakibo of The Kyber Culture to discuss all the insanity that is Damien Chazelle's 'Babylon'. We chat why we both enjoyed the movie so much, the depiction of Hollywood on screen as an industry dominated by Excess and Debauchery, the divisive reaction to the film and why it might not work for some viewers, which characters and plot-lines worked the most for us, the stand-out moments of Spectacle & Chaos, some ideas about what the movie's themes are trying to say, before ending off discussing the truly ABSURD ending in all of it's glory and why it's simultaneously such a big and silly swing.
