It's been sitting in our "to watch" que for quite some time so we finally watched the critically acclaimed Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, from the director and starting the same main actors as one of our favorites films of all time, The Sting, so it's got to be brilliant right? Right?
This week we have an episode of The Prisoner without Number 6, well sort of? Not really but yes? It's a whole thing. Listen in and find out what happens in the village this time.
It's time to roll back the clock 20 years for another decade look back, this time with 2003's "Identity". Can an impressive cast and a well known director land the possibly overambitious ideas presented in this film? Listen in and find out.
This week we have a bit of a strange episode that feel a little all over the place, not as a cohesive plot aims as we usually get from The Prisoner with a lot of out-of-left-field story elements that maybe don't add up.
This week we once again ride the George A. Romero train to his next film in the Living Dead series, Diary of the Dead, and this is one station we wish we had not gotten off at.

It's top 5 time and this episode we take a look at our personal favorite winners of the Academy Award for Best Original Song. With lots to choose from there is much discussion and we have a great time.
This episode of The Prisoner is possibly one of the best, brilliant premise and some of the best writing the show has seen to this point with Number 6 really putting Number 2 through the wringer and into a trap of their own making.

This week the Number 6 plays some chess on the board and with the residents of the Village.
This week we watched a little HBO mock-u-mentary from 2017 that we had never heard of till I came across the trailer accidently - Tour De Pharmacy, a fun goofy look into drug use in bike racing. A crazy star filled cast and bonkers story.
This week we hit up the new Netflix hot film, They Cloned Tyrone, starting a trio of excellent actors/characters. It's quite the ride and the movie does a great job of zigging when you're expecting a zag.
Coming up on the half way mark to the series we hit an episode that doesn't quite dazzle us and leads to some discussion about the choice to air the episodes in such a different order than they were produced.
We once again ride the Romero train and this time into the 21st century rendition of his "Dead" film series. What does two decades on ice mean for the style of these?

We also get to some talking about film budgets and actors salary and how that can affect film performance.
This episode features Number 6 making another escape from the Village - but can he stay away?

It's the 8th birthday of the What We've Watched Podcast and so we watched When Eight Bells Toll, a very early Anthony Hopkins "James Bond" styled film adapted from the book by Alistair MacLean of Where Eagles Dare and other classics. Please pardon the background hum in a few places - some loud outside noise that got picked up by the mic.
This week we get to find out what it would be like if there was two #6's, but one of them is #12 pretending to be #6 and the other is #6 brainwashed into thinking he is #12. Yup, it's just like that some days in the village.
It's time for another decade look back as we go 30 years into the past and watch 1993's Heart & Souls. With a crazy cast of Robert Downey Jr, Charles Grodin, Kyra Sedgwick, Elisabeth Shue, Tom Sizemore, Alfre Woodard and David Paymer it's a film that maybe relies to much on heart and doesn't have enough soul.
This week Number 6 enters the wild world of politics in the village with the episode Free For All.

We convene on the deck of the Enterprise for one last episode with our thoughts on the series. We talk about how we rated the seasons and our best and worst episodes and characters.

This week Diana finally gets her promotion but of course that's a B story to watching Data lose his memory and run around a renfaire.

A hairy double feature for this episode with WolfCop and it's sequel, Another WolfCop. We look this pair of old-school feeling, Canadian made (and located)gore filled horror comedies.
It's a classic TNG "lets address a real world problem poorly" episode, this time it's global warming. But also mostly about Data's cat Spot.

This week's episode attempts to address the "will they won't they" of Picard and Crusher but is it all just a little too late? Add in a North vs South Korea analogy you'd think it's maybe a mediocre episode - maybe you'd be surprised!
It's 2022 and people are still the same, they will do anything to get what they need...and what they need is SOYLENT GREEN! Which is people. Huh. Join us as we talk about this "future" that never came to pass with Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson (in his final role).
This week we we watched the final Lwaxana Troi TNG episode. It also features a very young Kirsten Dunst and a dark secret about Deanna Troi's childhood.
From a series of older films it's time to jump to something ultra recent, as we often do, with Stallone's newest film, a gritty super hero flick - Samaritan.
This week e return to the nearly forgotten plot element of Data dreaming, with him having nightmares, then waking nightmares, then a thinly added B plot that works it's way into Data's dreams. It's a lot, but also very little.
This week we watched Wild Target, a 2010 rom/crime/com film with a great cast of Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt and Rupert Grint. Wild Target tries really hard but might not quite be the sum of it's parts.
This week is the conclusion to the Gambit 2-part story, will it live up to the premise set up in part 1? Let's tune in and see.
So we thought what could be easier than a top 5 of films that show the afterlife? The place where we could go when we die, films must be full of them? Narrator Voice "But films would not be full of them". We did it anyways and it turned out as a pretty great episode.
What do we have this episode? Space mystery? Check! Full crew on deck? Check! Great story and writing? Check! For us The Gambit (part 1) does not disappoint,
It's been a while but we were inspired to do an episode of The Pilot Program when we saw a trailer for a 1986 unsold tv pilot (turned TV movie) staring Scott Bakula pre Quantum Leap. It's quite the thing.
This weeks episode of The Next Generation they jump on the zeitgeist of the early 90's to completely misunderstand VR and Geordie puts his life in danger for dubious reasons.
Our brief Blob journey comes to an end with the 1988 remake of The Blob, a proper horror movie with great practical effects that unfortunately got overlooked in it's day.
As we break into season 7 proper we have an ambitious episode that does some good stuff but also reaches a little to far.
Buckle up as we take you on the never ending mediocre car crash that is this weeks movie. Beware! The Blob? More like Beware! This Film.
The final season of The Next Generation opens with Lore, Data, Borg and so many plot beats in an attempt to conclude the story from last week. It's a doozy and we are here for it.
We begin our Blob Journey by talking about the original 50's classic "horror" film, filled with dubious effects, cops with too much backstory and 28 year old teenagers. Join us for this look into a B film that put the "B" in Blob.
Season finales are almost always top shelf episodes and season 6 is no different. Bringing in a Data strong story and the Borg and Lore...well you can see how much we like this weeks episode.
We've been talking about watching this acclaimed film for ages and now we finally have. An uplifting story full of great actors and music. Cheers!
This, the penultimate season 6 episode, features a great space mystery, time travel AND Troi and Picard doing impressions! Nearly a perfect episode.
This is it, episode 300 and our 7th anniversary of doing the podcast! W go back and pick our 5 favorite and 5 least favorite episodes of the podcast we have done (so far). Lots of chit chat and discussion. Thanks to everyone for sticking with us!
This weeks episode features too (two?) many Rikers! Picard is forced to pick his favorite and disintegrate the other, just kidding...he makes Troi choose.
A great homage to the Disney (and more) of years past, like a new Roger Rabbit. Chip and Dale are back and we are here for it! Que the theme song!
With the sudden passing of Ray Liotta we decided to visit one of his lesser know films that has a crazy supporting cast and some really bizarre story beats.
Crusher takes center stage as she violates medical ethics and Star Fleet regulations in an episode with an interesting premise and poor follow through.
Good comedies are hard to find these days this this one has a fully charming cast with some of our favorites, making it even better.
Time for some mind games to be played on Riker in this week's episode of Star Trek The Next Generation.
This week we delight in a star studded Rat-Pack film filled with humor, antics and song.
We here love a good space mystery episode of TNG and this one gets us most of the way there.
Film cameos are hard to define but you know one when you see one and this is a list of our favorites.
This weeks Picard focused episode of The Next Generation really tries hard to make us care about a whole bunch of things, but will we learn out "Lesson"?
This episode we take a look at Robert Eggers first two films as his newest (The Northman) makes the rounds. We talk about his ability to enrapture viewers (like us)with his particular style and focus this both films and how we enjoyed them.
Before the Running Man and Battle Royal there was an odd Italian film based off a book called The 10th Victim. Strange and entertaining, both good and bad, we discuss it this episode.
This week, an episode of danger, intrigue and covert terrorism that, well, just doesn't quite stick the landing.
The 31st Godzilla film released ibn 2016 made a hell of a splash and this episode we talk about just how great it is.
This episode concludes the story from last time, fully concentrating on Worf and the lost Klingon colonists.
We watch the classic underwater James Cameron film this episode, discussing its wide array of characters, story and incredible effects.
This episode sees a launch into a 2 parter with both Worf and Data stories, along with Deep Space 9 characters, as TNG does a small crossover to promote the new show.
In this episode we wax long about some of our favorite shows that got cancelled just as they were getting good.
A hidden Q episode sees Picard reliving his academy days, playing dom-jot and getting stabbed in the heart.
We end our Technicolor Travels in 1952 with a second pirate film, staring Burt Lancaster and Nick Cravat. A fun tongue in cheek adventure film that could have stuck the landing a bit better.
In a hard pivot from the last episode we join Deanna Troi and Romulans in a fantastic episode that really shows how TNG can shine.
We jump another 10 years to see how things have progressed in our Technicolor Travels to 1942, but this time with pirates! Join us for The Black Swan.
This week we have a good laugh at the unfortunately attempt of a murder mystery in one of the worst episodes this season. Poor Geordi.
Our Technicolor Travels continue a we move ahead to 1932 and discuss the classic Doctor X. Both creepy and goofy it is a great capsule showing early entry into a new type of horror film and what they could get away with in the pre-code years.
Professor Moriarty returns for some holodeck shenanigans in a game of wits with control the Enterprise on the line.
In this first episode in a short series looking into the rise of Technicolor films, we go back 100 years to 1922 and watch the one of the very earliest films to use Technicolor, The Toll of the Sea.
Part two of the tense and exciting story comes to this episode with more Cardassian, more Picard torture, more Cox, more Warner! There are FOUR lights!
We embark on the first of a ground breaking two part story this week! Big shakups to the standard TNG story, Ronny Cox? David Warner? Yes please! Just how many lights are there?
After a year of Rocky films you think we had enough of Mr.Stallone? No way! This episode we go over our top picks of his best films.
Oh is it time for another "is AI sentient and what does that mean?" episode of TNG? I guess so. We talk about it.
We follow up last years Army of the Dead (episode #271) with the prequel - Army of Thieves. Showing the origins of Dieter and how story behind the Gotterdammerung safe, we give our thoughts on this second film in the series.
In the midst of James Bond film rights tomfoolery there was an attempt at adapting Casino Royal but instead this movie got made. A bizarre artifact of it's time, full of over the top antics and a muddy mix of acting, writing and direction. Is Casino Royale really too much...for one James Bond?
Let's hop on over to the Holo-Deck and take a stroll into the Ancient West in this weeks episode of TNG - A Fistful of Datas.
To close out 2021 we recorded our top 10 films of the 2010's (2010-2019). This both a revisit of our very first top 5 (Top 5 of the Last 5 Years) and fits in with our other decade Top 5s. This is a long one folks so buckle up.
Thanks to all who have listened over the last year and hope you have a good 2022!
As the year comes to a close so does our Rocky Journey and with that comes Creed II. We talk a lot about the film and how it both builds on the Creed story and echoes the old Rocky films of the past.
Picard and some other members of the Enterprise become kids this episode. Oh and there is some Ferengi too. It's as good as it sounds.
Making a black and white film these days is an artistic choice rather than an necessity - and this episode we talk about our 5 favorite films that chose this visual format in the modern era.
What if you had the powers of Q, but didn't know what a Q was? So you thought you were loosing your mind...but then Q show up. This week's episode is a neat thought experiment about ultimate power and human behavior.
In what could be called the next generation of Rocky films we continue our journey hitting the penultimate entry, Creed!
Time and memory loss, alien abductions and a very liberal use of the holodeck is the flavor of this weeks episode.
1984's The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, a cult classic, box office bust and all around fun film is the feature of this weeks episode.
James Doohan reprises his role as Scotty from the original Star Trek series in this weeks episode. How will he adapt to the new ways of the modern Federation? Tune in to find out!
As a sideline to our Rocky Journey, Grudge Match fits most of the criteria and shows promise. With a slew of great actors and some pretty good writing listen to this weeks episode to see what we think about it.
Look, we all know little kids are evil and Gregory Peck is out to prove it. This episode we talk all about it in Richard Donner's 1976 classic, The Omen.
Lieutenant Broccoli is back and his fear of being transported manifests in strange ways. It's an odd episode in more than one way.
John Williams has composed and conducted some of the most famous and recognizable film themes of all time and for this episode we give our top 5 favorites.
Season 6 begins with the second part of Time's Arrow, and now the whole crew is in on search for what happened to Data in the past, uncovering a sinister secret.
More Rocky? Yes please! We continue the journey and watch this fantastic 2006 film with Stallone returning to the ring in search of finding something he has lost.
Oh no! What's happened to Commander Data! Has he lost his head forever? Guinan and Samuel Clemens are on the case in part one of this season spanning story.
Divided by 32 years, these two Eddie Murphy films are the topic of this episode. How many times can Prince Akeem and his close friend Arsenio Hall visit New York?
It turns out that Picard was not the captain of a starship and it was a delusion this whole time! This episode reveals the truth about Picard!
This episode we pay tribute to a fantastic actor that passed to soon - Bill Paxton. From Twister to True Lies, Aliens to Weird Science he was a highly accomplished actor that gave us many roles to enjoy. So stop your grinnin and drop your linen and listen to this this one.
Lieutenant Commander Geordie and Ensign Ro are the stars of this weeks episode. Are they dead? Ghosts? Who knows!

To follow up last weeks Citizen Kane it only seems appropriate to talk about the newly released Mank. You cannot capture a man's entire life in two hours...but you can talk about a movie in a little less than one.

Our trip comes to an end this week with Xanadu, a film surpassed and outlived by it's soundtrack thanks to Olivia Newton-John. Xanadu - a musical, a remake (of sorts) and Gene Kelly's final film.
Somewhere in between Cover Girl and Xanadu is Down to Earth. Rita Hayworth is cast as the muse Terpsichore and is forces to struggle through the advances of Danny Miller in this less than amazing musical.
Famous for it's career starting place in film history and Oscar winning music, Cover Girl begins a journey following Rita Hayworth, Gene Kelly and ELO through three films that was born out a curious desire to watch Xanadu.

This time on Star Trek: The Next Generation the Enterprise crew must help a young boy who is the only survivor of a horrible incident on another ship.
