The Dark and the Wicked (2020) is an unfortunate case of what could have been. An interesting premise, effectively creepy direction, and solid acting all become lost in a muddled, uneven narrative that fails to follow its own established rules.

Snowtown (2011) tries so hard to be indie that it ends up making the story of Australia's deadliest serial killer boring. If you're wondering why we don't like indies, watch this one.

Our Score - 8.83 / 10 (A-)

Sinners is an absolute masterpiece from everyone involved. Don't listen to Aaron's ice cold takes on this one; It's the best movie of the 2025, and it's not even close.

Our Score - 4.17/10 (D-)

We remember loving Lake Placid when we were kids. Rewatching it over 25 years later, it's just not the same feeling. This movie does a lot of things wrong. Its greatest sin; It's just not that fun.

Shin Godzilla (2016) reinvented the titular creature and took the franchise in a fresh new direction, all resulting in an overwhelmingly positive reception. Did this new take work for all of us?

Look it up, and you'll find The Descent on loads of 'Best Of' horror lists. Do we agree? How does it hold up twenty years later? And what the hell happened to Neil Marshall's career. We answer all of these questions and more in this great episode!

Our Score - 1.08/10 (F)

IMDb - 3.2/10

The only thing harder than watching a movie with almost no redeeming qualities, like Don't Speak (2020), is talking about it for an hour. Trust us and skip this movie!

Hidden Figures (2016) tells an important story through an amazing cast. The PG rating might make the story feel a bit simplified to some, but it still is impactful and inspiring.

Our Score - 5.67/10 (C-)

Rotten Tomatoes - 56%

IMDb - 6.9/10

Chosen By: Aaron Cronican

Despite the efforts of the loaded cast, The Conspirator (2010) feels too much like a play, and it lacks the impact expected from a story like this.
