We're back with Spielberg Through the Decades with our '80s selection, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial! Instead of us going with the aliens, the aliens come to us this time. This film lives in the hearts of many many audience members, but does it hold up for us who haven't seen it since we were small children? Come back next episode for our '90s selection, a much different film, Saving Private Ryan, followed by our '00s pick, A.I. Artificial Intelligence!

We start our Spielberg Through the Decades series leading up to his new film, Disclosure Day, with his seminal 1977 film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This marks his first foray into alien encounters, but most certainly would not be his last. In fact, next episode for our '80s selection we will discuss E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Following that is our '90s pick, Saving Private Ryan!

Wahoo! We're back with our continued series of reviewing the Super Mario Bros. films. The sequel to the 2023 smash film hit theaters last week, and we have our thoughts ready for you. Did this film elevate itself above the first film or fall flat on it's face? Come back next week as we start our Spielberg Through the Decades series with our 1970s pick, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

A lot happened with the Scream franchise between VI and 7, and now we are here finally with our thoughts on the new film! After a quick recap of the events that led to this being the movie that we got, the gang breaks down the movie itself and whether we want to see this franchise continue with Scream 8 potentially. This wraps up our Scream series for now, assuming 8 takes a few years to get to the silver screen. Coming up next, we're going back to theaters for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie continuing our series from when the first Illumination film released!

Only 14 months after the requel, we got a sequel to the requel with Scream VI. This time, Ghostface takes Manhattan after following the Carpenter sisters and the Meeks-Martin twins to the Big Apple. This turned out to be the last film with Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, and did we think they went out on a narrative high note? Come back next episode as we discuss the long dreaded follow up, Scream 7!

A long awaited debate. We have finally reviewed the 2022 requel, Scream. Is it a modern classic of the slasher genre or just a retread with boring characters? Come back next episode as we review Ghostface takes Manhattan a.k.a. Scream 6!

We are back with our Top 10 Films of 2025 just in time for this Sunday's Academy Awards. Did the Academy's taste overlap with ours? Listen to hear our favorite films of the year. Coming up, we have the last few episodes of our Scream series!

11 years after the release of the "final" Scream film, the franchise sliced it's way back into theaters with Scre4m! The fourth entry of the franchise unexpectedly ended up being Wes Craven's final film before his death in 2015. The film is an oddity in the franchise as almost a stand alone in between two distinct phases of the franchise. Do we think the film holds up compared to the rest of the films before it? Come back next episode for the great debate about Scream (2022)!

Back in 2000, people believed that the Scream series came to a conclusion with the release of Scream 3, the capper of a trilogy. While that didn't end up being the case, the film still acts as the conclusion to the original trilogy of films. Does the film hold up in 2026? Come back next episode for Scream 4 (aka Scre4m)!
