The Other Half

Jingle Jangle is the best Christmas present we can ask for! Not only is this not an abysmally bad Christmas movie, Jingle Jangle actually may have the chops to become a modern Christmas classic! Forrest Whittaker plays a disillusioned inventor, who needs the help of his granddaughter to save his workshop and his family's relationship. A fantastic movie for the whole family on Netflix and no one is talking about it? SHAME.

You've Got Mail is not only an extremely dated phrase, it's an extremely dated movie. It's a fascinating relic on how relationships have changed with the advent of the internet. A look into the past with how our relationships with megacorporations has changed and just romantic relationships in general. More than any other 90s movie, this is the one that's definitely the biggest time capsule in terms of music, culture, societal norms, and views of infidelity.

The Science of Sleep was well regarded when it came out, but we're here to see if it aged well. Turns out, it hasn't. In fact, it's got some massive 500 Days of Summer vibes going on. Directed and written by Michel Gondry, the movie follows a down on his luck artist who decided (coerced) to move back home with his mom. He then meets a lady neighbor and becomes obsessed with her. That being said, the trippy visuals do hold up to scrutiny. Also, Mike was very lost during this movie.

We swear we didn't pick Finding Forrester to honor the late Sean Connery. It was just a happy little coincidence. Now this movie has some serious Good Will Hunting vibes in it. It's almost like it's the same director making almost the same movie. It also has Sean Connery making some classic memes.

It's been over two years since we saw the original The Witches, but now we're back with The Witches from the mind of Robert Zemeckis. This time it has a little American twist! It's (for some reason) set during Jim Crow America. Should we throw this one back into the cauldron? Make sure to listen to the original The Witches episode so you can find all the differences!

The tagline of this movie, Crawl, is not "Later Gator". I'm upset. This week Mike and Ethan dive into the modern monster movie where gators go wild! This movie stars relatively minor actors, who are being hunted by (CGI) gators in Florida! Is it a spooky creature feature? Gotta listen to find out! Also listen for stories about Mr. Ed and some fun gator facts!

We celebrate the first week of Spooktacular with Blumhouse's Fantasy Island! It's based on the old TV show of the same name from the '70s. Below you can see the intro to this wonderfully forgotten TV show. We can only hope people will forget about 2020s Fantasy Island as well
