  • Artificial Intelligence Movie Draft (w/ Zachary Lee)

    While artificial intelligence has burst on the scene as a huge cultural topic in recent years, there is a long history of AI stories in film. This week, we do a movie draft of films dealing with artificial intelligence. We talk about the ways the films we choose explore the topic, how so many of these films are more relevant today than ever, and enjoy discussing the wide variety of styles and storytelling in these AI movies. Plus, you get to vote on who had the better draft!

  • A.I. Artificial Intelligence (w/ Zachary Lee)

    With A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Steven Spielberg dove headfirst into sci-fi storytelling more than he ever had before. With incredible production design, another great child performance for Spielberg in Haley Joel Osment, a pinocchio infused, existential sci-fi story, and especially the Stanley Kubrick collaboration, this was an incredible feat even for Spielberg (even if it was and still is a pretty divisive film). We talk about all of this, how this film speaks to the modern artificial intelligence conversation, and more in this episode!

  • Top 5 Inspirational Movies (w/ Melvin Benson)

    It is a new year, and we could all use a bit of inspiration. So, this week I share my Top 5 Inspirational Movies list along with Melvin from Cinematic Doctrine. This is obviously not the definitive list of inspirational movies, but it is a collection of films that have truly inspired us in some way or another. I know my list in particular tries to cover some different categories of inspiring movies. We hope you will check some of these out and be inspired to have a great year as well!

  • Saving Private Ryan (w/ Melvin Benson)

    Largely considered the best (or one of the best) WWII movies ever made, Saving Private Ryan showed that Spielberg could make just about any kind of movie and do it masterfully. We talk about how he pulled it off, his collaboration with Tom Hanks, the themes of war movies, that iconically brutal open at Omaha Beach, and more in this episode!

  • Disney Animated Classics Movie Draft (Rerun w/ Harrison Fredericks)

    If you are like me, you likely grew up watching Disney Animated Classics! There are a ton of great ones from early films like Snow White and Pinocchio to more recent additions like Moana and Encanto. In this movie draft, we battle it out for our favorite Disney classics to see who can build the best group of films, and we might just go on a few nostalgia trips along the way. This draft was originally a segment from Episode 4 of the show.

  • Top 100 Box Office Movie Draft (Rerun w/ Haydn Fabre)

    This is a rerun of a movie draft we did of films in the Top 100 of all-time worldwide box office earnings back in Episode 3. It makes for an interesting draft because the list is surprisingly bereft of really incredible movies with a few exceptions. You are mostly choosing from blockbuster crowd pleasers. I am happy with the results, though! Only 6 films have broken into the Top 100 since that draft was recorded: Inside Out 2, Barbie, Deadpool & Wolverine, Oppenheimer, Despicable Me 4, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Of those, Barbie and Oppenheimer almost certainly would have made it into our draft.

  • Family Christmas Movie Favorites, Part 3 (w/ Robin Price & my kids)

    When December rolls around, it is time to start watching Christmas movies! It has been a joy to grow my little family with our own little Christmas traditions, and movies are a big part of that. So, this week, continuing my family Chritsmas movie favorites series, I bring on my wife and kids to talk about their favorite Christmas movies. This is a very special episode for me, and I hope it is for you as well. If nothing else, let this episode be motivation for you to cozy up on the couch with your family and favorite Christmas treats to watch a good movie this holiday season!

  • Family Christmas Movie Favorites, Part 1 (w/ Jeff & Donna Ables, Chase Ables, and Katy Hebert)

    What is better at Christmas time than cozying up with your family for a great Christmas movie?! While we can’t really do that on a podcast, I thought I would spend the next few weeks with my family hearing about their favorite Christmas movies. This week, I am joined by my wife’s side of the family for some great Christmas movie recommendations. I hope you enjoy their choices and make sure to watch some great holiday movies with your family this year!
