Like everybody else, we hope to back to business as usual soon but, in the meantime, enjoy this impromptu Zoom episode!

Shane thinks Crawl is a fantastic, intense creature feature and one of the best movies of 2019, but he has a hard time convincing Matt and Mike. Listen in and let us know where you stand on this one!

Our Score - 8.17/10 (B+)     Rotten Tomatoes - 92%     IMDB - 7.4/10

Chosen By: Steve Rushlau

Shane Black isn't without his disappointments (see The Predator), but when he is at the top of his game, few people can match his combination of wit and storytelling. The Nice Guys is him in peak form, and great performances from Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are icing on the cake.

Our Score - 6.5/10 (C+)     Rotten Tomatoes - 65%     IMDB - 7/10

The Foreigner unfortunately doesn't live up to its incredible potential. Director Martin Campbell (Goldeneye, Casino Royale) and stars Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan are all fantastic, but the story fails to find its footing leaving the movie feeling uninspired and lifeless. For our full thoughts, press play!

Our Score - 8.32/10 (B+)     Rotten Tomatoes - 79%     IMDB - 7.4/10

Chosen By: Aaron Cronican

Open Range has fantastic acting and chemistry from its stars, Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall, as well as classic western themes and storylines that make this easily one of the best modern westerns and one of our favorite ever made. Press play to hear our full thoughts!

Our Score - 6.25/10 (C)     Rotten Tomatoes - 86%     IMDB - 7.3/10

Chosen By: Matt McNeal

John Carpenter brings his typical efficient storytelling style to this cult classic action/science fiction movie that blends a smart premise with shallow dialogue and loads of violence. Fans of Carpenter, Roddy Piper, and old school action movies will find plenty to like. Others might come out disappointed at the lost potential of the incredible themes that are left unexplored.

Our Score - 9.25/10 (A)     Rotten Tomatoes - 80%     IMDB - 8/10

Chosen By: Brent Fruge

Jojo Rabbit is a nearly perfect movie, and yet another unique and original movie from writer/director Taika Waititi. Waititi is able to blend serious drama with humor almost seamlessly to make this one of the most enjoyable movies from 2019. Press play for our full thoughts! 

Our Score - 5.25/10 (D+)     Rotten Tomatoes - 93%     IMDB - 7.7/10

Chosen By: Michael Lucas

Being John Malkovich is a unique, abstract, interesting, and very weird movie that probably isn't for everyone. Michael, Steve, and Brent had a great discussion about it that you don't want to miss, so click play to hear that now!

Our Score - 8.34/10 (B+)     Rotten Tomatoes - 77%     IMDB - 7.4/10

Chosen By: Shane Cronican

Doctor Sleep is a wonderful adaptation that respects both the source material and the movie it follows, blending those two works into an interesting and well made movie. In our opinion, this ranks near the top of the best Stephen King adaptations.

Our Score - 2.34/10 (F)     Rotten Tomatoes - 79%     IMDB - 7.1/10

Listener Request From: Amber

Though the story could be interesting and the movie is well made from a technical standpoint, the chosen style and line delivery makes The Killing of a Sacred Deer feel sterile, making it impossible to connect to and unbearable to watch. For our full discussion, press play!
