More Spooky Season - Ryan Chollet and Emma Watkins join us for the 2019 horror sequel, It: Chapter Two!

We dissect the achievements and flaws of the lengthy movie and its stellar cast, get side-tracked talking about the art of film trailers and the trend of digital de-aging, and debate whether this screen adaptation would have been better suited to television.

Spooky Season continues! Special guests Ryan Chollet and Emma Watkins join us for the very successful horror adaptation, 2017’s It!

We dive into the origins and production history of Stephen King’s celebrated work, lament more COVID movie delays, recall how people were weirdly excited about the solar eclipse, and praise a screen adaptation that skillfully combines a strong cast and smart scares into a confident and thrilling horror classic.

We’re kicking off Spooky Season with a light-hearted Courtney’s Choice - the 1986 fantasy cult classic, Labyrinth!

We fall into the nostalgia hole of bizarre too-scary “kids” movies from the 80s, Courtney maybe watches some trailers, we side tangent on Tom Cruise for too long, and fail to calculate how many sexual awakenings are credited to David Bowie’s Goblin King.

It’s a Courtney’s Choice! Join us for a palette cleanser from all things Marvel and Avengers as we watch a seminal early-aughts rom-com - How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

We once again interrogate the tropes and influence of Romantic Comedies, discuss how this movie has aged and is elevated by two charismatic leads, and wonder when we’ll regularly see movies in theaters again.

We’re in the endgame now. Special guest Ryan Chollet joins us as Courtney completes her Marvel cinematic journey with its crowning achievement: an immensely satisfying, subversive, and tear-inducing finale that REALLY sticks the landing — Avengers: Endgame!

We delve into spoiler culture, aggressively disagree about Hawkeye’s haircut, and gush about how the all-time top-grossing film expertly blends humor and emotion in a fitting sendoff to some of the most beloved characters of the past decade.

We love this movie.

Thanos arrives as Courtney beholds the ambitious, star-studded, and nearly-unwieldy crossover event: Avengers: Infinity War!

We recap Marvel’s third phase while taking a detour on Thor: Ragnarok - Courtney is enamored with the Infinity Gauntlet comic - Mark Ruffalo can’t help spoiling movies - and we’re amazed that a movie largely about a thicc purple monster collecting space jewelry left us emotional and teary-eyed.

Avengers disassemble! Courtney is halfway through her Marvel Cinematic journey, with the best “heroes settle their differences through punching” movie yet - Captain America: Civil War!

In a twist, Courtney praises some action sequences, we recap the bizarre custody arrangement between film studios over Spider-Man, Courtney brags about her celebrity theories, and we applaud a movie that can juggle multiple characters while also delivering satisfying emotional arcs that benefits from years of backstory and character development. Is it Avengers 2.5? More or less.

Assemble again! Courtney continues her journey into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the intriguing and uneven superhero follow-up, Avengers: Age of Ultron!

We recap Marvel’s Phase Two, Courtney gushes about some new characters, we take a detour into the lives of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Courtney picks a last minute fight with one Martin Scorsese — all while we discuss the compelling and very underrated cinematic swing that was Joss Whedon’s Age of Ultron!

Assemble! Courtney has only sort of seen the Marvel flicks, so we’re charging through the flagship installments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starting with the quippy, breezy, and box-office-dominating superhero team-up: The Avengers!

We recap Marvel’s underdog origins, from the lightning-in-a-bottle brilliance of Iron Man, through it’s Phase One installments to the billion dollar gamble of The Avengers — an experiment that resulted in forever changing large-scale filmmaking and cementing Marvel Studios as THE cinematic superpower for the next decade and beyond.

Courtney also reveals a sordid connection to Robert Downey Jr.

For our next world-ending quarantine watch, we revisited the post-apocalyptic Will Smith action thriller, I Am Legend!

We compare the film’s climax with an alternate (and superior) original ending, we learn a lot about the dog, Courtney reveals details about her 6th grade pop band, and we praise Will Smith’s movie-carrying performance in the latest adaptation of a genre-defining story.
