We kick things off with two absolute gigantic smash hits of the summer!

First up is Joseph Kosinski's team-up with Brad Pitt. It's the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced racing flick, F1.

Then it's onto a discussion of the seventh installment in the long-running and commercially successful franchise that Steven Spielberg ignited over 3 decades ago. Yes, it's time for JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH.

Lastly, we welcome back our beloved Pick Six segment! This time we count down our picks for our FAVORITE FILMS OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR.

For the first time in the history of our show we have covered TEN NEW MOVIES in the span of just two consecutive episodes!

Episode 96 kicks off with a hearty breakdown of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's return to a franchise they launched 23 years ago. Yes, we are talking 28 YEARS LATER.

That will lead into our takes on beloved auteur Wes Anderson's latest flick, THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME.

The middle new movie this time around is Ana De Armas' big time chance at a starring action lead role in the John Wick Universe, BALLERINA.

From there we shift gears to tackle Mike Flanagan's newest Stephen King adaptation, and one that is quite different than the ones that came before. We offer our thoughts on the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival Audience Award-Winning, THE LIFE OF CHUCK.

Finally, Noah will ask Andy about his experience with Celine Song's much-anticipated sophomore effort, MATERIALISTS.

Phew! We did it!

We're back after a semi-long draught with an episode all about CATCHING UP. We're breaking down five new movies!

First up is the 8th and (maybe?) last installment of a long-running (pun intended) action franchise. We breakdown our thoughts on MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING.

That leads into an interesting chat about the Aussie-horror sibling Philippou duo's follow-up to TALK TO ME - the Sally Hawkins-led BRING HER BACK.

The third new flick (and last that both of us saw) is the feature film debut from Andrew DeYoung. A darkly comic vehicle for Tim Robinson to take the wheel alongside Paul Rudd. That's right: it's FRIENDSHIP time.

From there, Noah asks Andy about two other recent hits currently playing at the multiplex. We sort of play lightning round between KARATE KID: LEGENDS and FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES.

We're stoked to be back! Cheers!

We have just one new movie this time, but it's a BIG one. We're talking the latest collaboration between writer/director Ryan Coogler and actor Michael B. Jordan, SINNERS. A movie with a lot on its mind, and it gives us plenty to discuss!

The Pick Six segment this go 'round is a celebration of movies that have hit their 20th anniversary. We break down our choices for the BEST FILMS OF 2005.

We're back with 2 new flicks that have a couple things in common...

They are both A24 releases and they both feature Will Poulter in the ensemble casts. But that's about as far as it goes when you're looking for similarities between these two.

First, we dive into a discussion on Alex Garland's second military-themed film in the span of just about a year. He co-directs with former Navy Seal, Ray Mendoza, who went through the events depicted in WARFARE from a mission during the Iraq war in 2006.

The second new movie of Episode 93 is the directorial debut of Alex Scharfman. It is the movie that attempts to juggle all sorts of genres into one container. We're talking DEATH OF A UNICORN. Another stacked cast with names we tend to like. Does it work? Find out what we think!

The tried and true Pick Six segment is back once again! We close out the show by counting down our picks for the BEST FILMS WITH FIRST NAME TITLES. Basically the only movies that qualify are ones with only one word in the title, and that word must be the first name of the main character in the movie. It's a bit of a tricky one, eh? But fun!

Cheers

It's an all-Soderbergh extravaganza for Episode 92!

First off, we review the auteur's second feature of 2025 - the jazzy riff on the espionage thriller headed by Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett, BLAKC BAG.

That leads us into a very difficult Pick Six rankings of our FAVORITE STEVEN SODERBERGH FILMS.

Let's raise a toast to one of the greatest American filmmakers of the last 35+ years!

We begin this episode with a hearty talk about Bong Joon Ho's long-awaited follow-up to the Best Picture winning PARASITE. That's right...it's a rundown on MICKEY 17.

This leads into a Pick Six where we dig deep into the rabbit hole of our choices of the SIX BEST FILMS RELEASED IN MARCH OF ALL-TIME. We were pretty surprised at how many strong candidates were in the mix!

****Originally released May 2019****

The first new film for Episode 8 is the debut feature from Olivia Wilde....a wild high school comedy fronted by Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever - BOOKSMART.

This leads into a discussion on a new horror movie that asks "What if Superman became an evil villain?" I guess? It's the James Gunn-produced, BRIGHTBURN.

The Pick Six gives us a chance to select and rank our FAVORITE WAR FILMS OF ALL-TIME.

For the Throwback Challenge, Noah tasks Andy with seeing the Zellner Bros' 2014 film, KUMIKO THE TREASURE HUNTER. Then, Noah gets to talk about his experience with Kristen Johnson's 2016 documentary, CAMERAPERSON.

It's Episode 90!

We kick things off with Andy asking Noah about his time spent with Osgood Perkins' follow-up to LONGLEGS....the Stephen King adaptation, THE MONKEY.

Then it's a deep dive into our full gamut of predictions ahead of the 97th Annual Academy Awards. We break down the 10 major categories, selecting what we think will win, what we think should win from the nods, and our picks from the entire year of movies on what we would ultimately choose!

****Originally released late April 2019****

Arguably the biggest release of 2019 is the first one we cover on Episode 7! It's the epic end to another MCU phase...AVENGERS: ENDGAME.

Second and final new flick is the Charlize Theron/Seth Rogen political rom-com, LONG SHOT. Don't sleep on June Diane Raphael, either!

The Pick Six segment this time is a big ol' rundown of our FAVORITE FILMS FROM WES ANDERSON. Not an especially easy list to put together.

For the Throwback Challenge, Noah tosses Andy the 2013 doc from Errol Morris that focuses on Donald Rumsfeld, THE UNKNOWN KNOWN. Andy then slings Noah the opportunity to experience James Gray's 2008 drama, TWO LOVERS.

We packed a lot in this time! Hope you enjoy!
