In this episode, Tom Ratzlaff returns to discuss the legacy of the great Christopher Plummer.  This will be one of two episodes that discuss this extraordinary Canadian's contribution to film and theatre.  There will be spoilers in this episode, so I strongly advise you to see these movies before listening to the episode.  These plot reveals are worth your time!  Enjoy this tribute to Christopher Plummer!

Due to some issues with sound files, only three of six reviews survived the recording of this episode.  So, returning guest Lee Beckmann and Jason Dubray will discuss only three movies that feature music from the master composer.  The other three films will be reviewed in later episodes of the show.  Apologies for the shortened episode, and apologies to Lee for all the time he put into reviewing six films.  That said, it is always a pleasure to talk movies with Lee.  He knows his stuff, and listeners will love his take on Once Upon a Time in the West, The Untouchables, and Once Upon a Time in America.

First-time guest, and regular contributor to RankNReview, Scott Lehman and Jason Dubray discuss six wild films from the 1980s.  The 80s was definitely a decade that Scott loves and Jason wants to love, so the discussions range from nostalagia to 2021 interpretations of these movies.  What is comes down to, though, is risk-taking and entertainment.  And, for the most part, Scott and Jason both had smiles on their faces while watching (nearly) all of the films reviewed.

For this episode, Matt Bledsoe of the podcast Film Feast and Jason Dubray referee a battle between two action giants Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone by reviewing six movies - two starring Schwarzenegger, two starring Stallone, and two more featuring both movie stars.  We hope you enjoy this episode!

For this episode, first time guest Kristie Elliott and host Jason Dubray discuss five musicals with serious themes.  Historically, Kristie and Jason have had different views on what makes for an effective movie musical so it should be fun to see how much they agree or disagree on these films - as well as which film leaves Jason's movie shelf.

Happy Oscar Weekend!  Your host, Jason Dubray, goes solo this week for a special episode to celebrate the 30th episode and the 93rd Annual Academy Awards.  In this experimental episode, Jason sheds the nominees in six major Oscar categories.  The show is deconstructed in three sections - a major award category (acting and directing awards), reveal of his personal top ten list for 2020 in short segments, and discussing the points given to the Best Picture nominees two at a time.  This episode may have the initial confusion of a Christopher Nolan screenplay, but hopefully everyone will follow it.  This is also an homage to Siskel & Ebert's If We Picked the Winners show.  Jason also dedicates this special episode to his baby niece who arrived this week.  He loves B.E. so much already!  Enjoy this episode!

First time guest, Ali Peters, and Jason Dubray discuss six important musical films.  Ali and Jason have worked together and collaborated on a show that was the victim of COVID-19 shut downs, so they both get personal with one review.  These films are classics, as well as the movie that first brought sound to cinema and also the movie that had the first Aftrican-American Best Actress nominee.  Enjoy this episode and continue to share it with the movie fans in your life!  Keep safe, and continue to be kind to one another!

In this episode, first time guest Skye Brandon and I revisit the five Best Picture nominees from 1994.  It is a nostalgic trip through Americana, British weddings and funerals, 1950's game show scandals, seedy Los Angeles criminals, and a hellish prison in Maine.  It is fair to say that Skye and I both have a lot of respect for these five films, so decide which one leaves my movie collection is a tough task.

What do Charles Chaplin, Orson Welles, Martin Scorsese, John Singleton, Wes Anderson, and Sofia Coppola have in common?  They both had to start somewhere.  Regular guest Kurt Fitzpatrick and your host, Jason Dubray, discuss the first feature films by these talented directors in this episode called Filmmaker Debuts.

In this episode, first time guest Polly Esther and I discuss an ecletic mix of six Science Fiction films.  We go into more detail in these reviews than in most episodes.  Polly is a wonderful, passionate storyteller who describes her emotional reactions to these films in such an entertaining manner.  We both hope you enjoy this slightly longer episode of the show.
