It's Robert Zemeckis' newest attempt to recapture that magic from Forrest Gump, getting Tom Hanks and Robin Wright back for what is essentially an experimental arthouse film that kind of... works? It's a different movie than you might have expected, but it's got some heart! Enjoy the review!

It's the newest holiday film out there (until Red One, anyway), and it's directed by Dallas Jenkins who made The Chosen. Adapted from a book from the 70s with a simple story, can you pull something meaningful out to a full length film? We're talking about all that stuff and the Christmas spirit on this special episode!

It's the final hurrah for Eddie Brock and Venom (or is it?) in the third film in the Venom trilogy. There's now new enemies, new friends, and new lore that just might fly in the face of everything you've seen before in this franchise. Why care when you're just having dumb fun, anyway? Garrett and Andy are talking about the good, the bad, and the symbiotic on this weeks episode. Plus, news about Star Wars and the upcoming Rey movie, lots of exciting stuff coming out of 20th Century Fox, and Garrett managed to trick Andy into watching a terrible movie - almost entirely on accident.

What did it really take to get Saturday Night Live on the air? Well, probably a whole lot more than you think. From director Jason Reitman comes the story of the first Saturday Night (later known as Saturday Night Live) and how a rebellious crew of anarchists ended up starting an institution. Funny, they became the very thing they swore to dismantle. Garrett and Andy are talking cinematography, performances, all that good stuff - plus this week, whether or not censorship is a good thing. So isn't THAT fun?

Also, in the news we have a weird John Wick/Clue mashup, news about the future of the Velma tv series, and something about Bob Dylan being a nutcase. Enjoy!

It's the sequel that was hyped, and definitely exists, but did it NEED to exist? Garrett and Andy attempt to put together a reason for this movie to exist in the way it does, and discuss the general hate that it's gotten. The ending in particular is QUITE the spicy conversation point. We're talking cinematography, story, the whole nine yards.

Plus, news about the upcoming Creature from the Black Lagoon, Francis Ford Coppola continues his insane tour for Megalopolis, and people are going to jail. It's news, believe it or not.

It's a HUGE week here on the pod, as we cover three movies! First up, it's The Wild Robot, the newest release from Dreamworks, directed by the same guy as How to Train Your Dragon. It's been absolutely loved by the internet, but the question remains: should it be getting the praise it's getting? Garrett and Andy dive right into that discussion first.

Then, there's the new documentary about the man of steel himself, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. It details a good portion of his life on screen and off, and the struggles he and his family faced after his life-changing accident that left him paralyzed. It's inspiring and heartbreaking all at the same time.

Then, it's the movie that we REALLY wanted to talk about: Wolfs. We've been chomping at the bit to see this for months, and just before release, Apple pulled it from wide distribution. We had to drive to Austin just to have the chance to see it on the silver screen. Austin, people. A fate worse than death. But was it worth it? (Yes). Did Apple make a mistake pulling it from a wide release? (Yes.) But you'll have to listen to the podcast to hear the answers! (Oops there they were.)

Then, we do the news in our signature laid back, almost comically under prepared style. It's mostly about Megalopolis, if we're being honest. What a weird story.

Thanks for listening! Leave a review if you can, it helps tremendously! Jesus loves you and so do we.

Halle Berry is back in the horror genre with Never Let Go, a horror film about a family of 3 who are tethered to a house in the woods. They can venture as far as their ropes will let them, but if they let go, "the Evil" will get them. It's a horror film that's reaching further than jump scares, and certainly has a cast pulling more than their own weight.

James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, and Scoot Mcnairy (contender for funnies name) star in this 2024 remake of the 2022 Danish film, "Speak No Evil".

We're talking about it on this week's episode!
