Odds and Ends: We welcome Christmas time with our coldest of opens; Nick dropped out of his Futurama binge for no particular reason; T.J. saw Napoleon and liked... well, y'know, the history is pretty cool; what traps would be in a Saw Christmas movie?

Feature Film: We discuss one of the great Christmas classics with John McTiernan's Die Hard. Do people still argue about that? Because, well, they shouldn't. So there. Eat it, Harvey.

Next week's movie: Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987)

Odds and Ends: Nick's got the Jeopardy bug, T.J. saw three great movies in theaters, and Trevor saw some hot garbage, which to him is also great

Odds and Ends: Macy Gray Thanksgiving Parade; Nick had a Hanksgiving double feature; T.J. watched an okay movie

Feature Film: We check out the first movie (kind of, maybe, with certain parameters) by legendary director Stanley Kubrick, The Killing. A crime noir that is... well, it's a crime noir. Lead actor Sterling Hayden is a very interesting man and we go off on a few tangents here.

Next week's movie: A Madea Christmas (2013)

Odds and Ends: Inspired by our Michael Crichton feature this week, we discuss various fictional corporations and how great they are (at being bad); Vertical Limit and other fun dumb blockbuster kino, of which Gerry B is our last bastion

Feature Film: Luke Ferris from the Least Important Things podcast stops by to talk about one of his best bads, Richard Donner's Timeline. A star-studded time-travelling romp that just doesn't give a shit about the hows or the whys, what is by no means a "good" movie still ends up being a good movie. Kind of. You'll see what I mean.

Next week's movie: The Killing (1956)

Odds and Ends: There's a Zelda movie in the works, and we are cautiously pessimistic about it; T.J. watched the Terrifier movies, and Nick watched something equally as scary - a King of the Hill Halloween episode

Feature Film: We discuss the movie that's only ever been known as a Thanksgiving harvest time classic and not associated with any other holiday, The Nightmare Before Christmas! A bite-sized feature that packs a lot of story and character and charm, with some pretty neat stop-motion animation to boot.

Next week's movie: Timeline (2003)

Odds and Ends: They/Them Follow starring Ethan Bacon; Great British Baking Show is back and we're here for it; we watched Five Nights at Freddy's and it wasn't as bad as we expected

Feature Film: Edward Yang's final film, Yi Yi, is a lengthy family drama with plenty of yearning sadbois. A very cozy feeling movie, something you could put on with chill lofi beats to study to. Or maybe drink some depth charges to.

Odds and Ends: Move over, beloved classics, Angel Studios has another movie coming out; T.J. swims in his beloved garbage and we talk about the fall of AMC

Feature Film: Sidney Lumet is back as we discuss another 70s classic of his, starring Eye Pacino and the late great John Cazale. It's a sweaty pressure cooker of a movie with lots to love.

Odds and Ends: We do some self-shilling, did you know we have a Youtube channel; T.J. finally gets to talk about The Creator and we make the bold proclamation that hey, maybe original movies are a good thing

Feature Film: Stepping farther back into movie history than ever before, we almost hit silent film territory with Fritz Lang's classic, M, a talkie that still has some silent film trademarks leftover in it, that's how "almost" we got to them. Also, this is like our third or fourth movie about child murder/harm. Is that problem with us, or with all the filmmakers who keep making movies about it?

Odds and Ends: We don't get Swifties, and us being old white guys doesn't have anything to do with that; Nick rewatched a childhood favorite featuring Hunter Dunbar, as well as the classic Dawn of the Dead

Feature Film: Another weird adaptation of a Stephen King novel, Dreamcatcher is a mashup of discarded ideas that the author didn't have room for in other books. On top of that, the movie makes it even weirder by having an English actor who can't do an English accent, Donnie Wahlberg playing an... well, an alien, that's the only weird part, and another alien named Mr. Gay.

Odds and Ends: We tried to watch other horror movies for the Halloween season, but all we could muster was one episode of the new Castlevania show that is just okay; we talk about some horror shorts on YouTube, namely The Other Side of the Box and My House Walk-Through.

Feature Film: Chris brings in another horror double feature with the recent indie horror hits The Outwaters and Skinamarink, and all of us had a great time, no complaints here. Just a couple very normal and definitely very scary horror movies. Nothing much to say. This is the longest hallway in my house.
