R-Rated Rom-Com Month continues this week with 2010's She's Out of My League, a really fun story of a mid guy (Jay Baruchel) who catches the eye of a stone-cold ten (played by Alice Eve) and he—along with everyone around him—can't understand it. Hilarity ensues, but there's a lot of heart underneath the comedy.

This week kicks off R-Rated Rom-Com month with a real banger. 2011's Bridesmaids might be the best of the bunch when it comes to this genre and we have a lot of fun talking about it.

This week, we wrap up Gerard Butler Action Month with 2023's Plane, in which Gerry plays an everyman who's called to action when the flight he's piloting is forced to crash-land on an island run by guerillas. It's a great way to round out the month!

Happy New Year! We're coming out of the gate swinging in 2025 with an action-packed month of Gerard Butler films to get you motivated. Over the past decade, Butler has made a living kicking ass and taking names in the mid-budget action genre, and we're here to celebrate it, starting with the film that got this era going: 2013's Olympus Has Fallen.

This week, we not only bring Offbeat Holiday Films Month to a close, but we also say goodbye to 2024. We're going out with a touching little film from 2019 called Feast of the Seven Fishes, directed by Robert Tinnell. It's a really fun story about an Italian-American family in a blue-collar Pennsylvania town, preparing for their Christmas Eve dinner. With lots of drama and the right amount of sweetness, this was fun to watch and talk about. We also discuss some recent news around the release of The Batman 2, and talk about a few great films we saw last week.
