Oh boy. We are back! If you're a long time listener, then you know our dog Mitty tends to interrupt our recording. Well guess what, now we have a son and he's gonna make recording even more interesting. We recently saw Indy 5 and we have some thoughts. Hint: the movie was a lot of fun!
The fourth film has arrived and its almost a three hour film of fun. Did we love it? Yes. Why? Listen and find out. Don't worry, we do a spoiler warning.
We recorded throughout the 2023 Golden Globes award show. It wasn't easy and we struggled at times. Was it a good show? Well we can for sure say we do feel mostly bad for the host and the writers. Horrific jokes, dreadful monologue and a guarantee that no new viewers will be tuning in next year.
Everyone loves a detective mystery. Daniel Craig returns to solve another fun crime in the sequel to Knives Out. We follow up that review with a discussion about Brendan Fraser's The Whale. Sit back and listen to our not always professional reviews of these two award worthy films.
Worth the wait? Is there a special necklace? Did the crowd fall asleep like they did in Wakanda Forever? Discover the answers by listening to our review of Avatar 2.

There's no hiding what we feel about this film. At one point, Danny had to check Jess' pulse. Eyes shut, super still. Jess survived to record this episode where we talk about Black Panther 2. A dreadful 2 hours and 41 minutes of I don't even know. Opening weekend and sold out theatre filled with people checking phones, sleeping and crying babies.
Every actor and actress you can think of is in this David O. Russell film. Did we enjoy it? Listen and find out.
The netflix film that some people are talking about, Do Revenge, has been viewed. Yup. Hear our in depth review of this teen tale ( featuring 25-28 year old people pretending to be teens) and learn if there are any special necklaces of significant meaning to the plot. Well, there isn't, BUT the villain Max does wear a religious necklace and that is worth your own research.

Pure terror? or pure...nonsense? Two females stuck on a 2,000 ft tower. It's a simple set up and we certainly agree it causes a lot of stress.
We catch up on a handful of films currently available to view in the theater or Netflix. Find out which film is an easy "recommend" and which one (or more) is just not great. We have lots to say about these summer films. Two in the theater, one on Netflix and one at the drive-in.
Well this one cause a lot of debate. Jimmie joins Danny and Jess to discuss the fourth Thor film. Was it good? We may not all agree...
The 6th Jurassic Park film has arrived! Jess and Danny discuss their recent viewing of this dino flick and yes, we do have a spoiler warning at the 9:30.
The wait is over! Tom Cruise is back. Three plus decades since the first film and a two year delay because of Covid, but the film has arrived. Does the Top Gun sequel live up to the original? Is the hype real? If you haven't seen the film yet, we do provide a spoiler warning during the episode before we reveal anything.
SPOILERS occur after 10:10

It's been a busy few weeks for multiverse fans as we have two films to discuss. Luckily for you, we have Jimmie back as a guest on the show!
Michelle Yeoh vs. Dr. Strange, big budget Marvel vs low budget A24...who will win? Enjoy this mostly spoiler free episode (well, we try to warn you when spoilers are about to be unveiled).
Every Nicolas Cage fan's dream has arrived with The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Cage has finally returned to the big screen on a large scale for the first time in over a decade. Sure, he has made some random films, BUT he has also made some gems like Joe, Pig, and Mandy. Is this another gem? Find out!
This episode features our FIRST ever guest on the show! Jimmie joined us to watch this 3 hour epic Batman film and then we chatted after. We all shared a mic and because of that I do apologize.
The casting of this film upset some people as we still have those holding out hope for another Ben Affleck movie. So, is the film decent? A masterpiece? Did one of us eat a hot dog during the film? Maybe.

It's a musical! Did we enjoy it? Did we know every song? Maybe. A Spielberg classic? A musical masterpiece? Let Jess and Danny explain West Side Story to you...
HINT: Short podcasts typically are because the film is better...

One of the best movie trailers ever assembled? Yes. One of the best movies ever assembled? Listen and find out. We take a look at the Paul Thomas Anderson film, Licorice Pizza. Featuring an amazing cast and groovy soundtrack, this is a film that will spark conversations whether you enjoyed it or not.

It's SCREAM! Or Scream (2022). Or Scream 5. You decide! We watched all of the previous 4 films this week and finally were able to make it to Cinemark to check out the film. Did we like it? Does Sid survive? As usual, we warn listeners before give away any spoilers.
NOTE: We talk about the music that plays when Dewey is on screen and jokingly call it Dewey's Tune, but actually we were close. It's called Dewey's Theme by Marco Beltrami and was originally used in the film Broken Arrow. The music was then used as temp music for Scream 2, but eventually it stayed in the film.
Spoiler warning. It's a Netflix film and involves Christmas. Well, it's certainly not Home Alone and its definintely not Jingle All The Way, but A Boy Called Christmas will get you in the Christmas spirit!
"What is the Matrix?". Well, it's time to find out...again. Danny and Jess stop by the local Cinemark and experience a Matrix film with more than a couple memorable moments. Good or bad?
Spider-Man: No Way Home has finally arrived and we saw it on opening night with the most enthusiastic crowd I've ever witnessed...
Mins 1-10 we discuss the previous Spider-Man films and our hopes for No Way Home.
10-18:25 NO spoiler review
18:25-36 SPOILERS. You have been warned.

Denzel, Jared and Rami star in the direct to HBO Max (and some theaters) thriller, "The Little Things". As usual, we are a bit confused about some aspects of the plot so listen to us discuss whether or not we enjoyed this newly released film.
It's the 80's! And Wonder Woman is flying around fighting crime and then suddenly The Mandalorian shows up and wishes to become a magical stone that grants wishes. Listen to us discuss our experience watching WW84 while eating cheesecake and sitting on the couch.

Back in September, we rented out a screen and got a crew of less than 8 people to watch the much anticpated Tenet. Was it good? Was it great? Do we even understand it? My apologies as this isn't so much a review as it is a lot of us questioning whether or not we understood what we just saw...

Who would have thought this film could be so divisive? Jess might love it. Danny might love it...
We dissect the Academy Award winning film Parasite (actually recorded two days before the Oscars)..
Don't blame us for this messy episode as we were super excited for the awards and jess was not willing to sacrifice the comfort of the couch for decent sounding audio. We predict and we analyze a few of the awards.
Double the excitement with this episode! The depressing Judy and the very stressful Uncut Gems. Which is better? Jess and Danny might answer that questions.
The Academy Awards are just around the corner as we take a look at a potential Oscar winner. Does it deserve the hype?
Immediate spoiler warning with this episode. A review of the new Black Christmas starring Imogen P and Princess Bride Guy.

Disney's lovable character returns after a 54 year absence and Danny and Jess are quite happy to discuss this potential classic.
Jess just wants to eat macaroni and cheese and Danny just wants to record a podcast about these two films.

Find out our thoughts on Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom take 2! We enjoyed some of it the first time....did it improve???
We've waited three years for this sequel. Plenty of dinos and plenty of dinos murdering humans. It's everything the trailers promised. Did we like it though? We may tell you. WARNING! After 8:30 SPOILERS!
We randomly came across the red carpet event for Ready Player One. Oh and we also saw the movie twice!
You loved taken, you loved Non-Stop, and I am thinking you just may enjoy this train mystery thriller!
Its a quick recap episode! We fell behind but continued to see too many films. This review covers The Greatest Showman, The Disaster Artist, Jumanji 2, All The Money In The World, and Downsizing!
We just saw an incredible film! This episode will be worth listening to. For sure. Like 100%.
What an adventure indeed. Finn...Rose...what the heck happened to this film? Dan and jess are still processing...
One of the best reviewed films of the year has finally been seen by Danny & Jess. Will they like it? Yes. Is it a great film? Sure. Not really. I mean its great but ya know. Its okay.
We sat through twenty minutes of trailers and a twenty one minute Frozen short film before we could watch this gem. I loved it. Jess loved it. The kids in the theater did not. Maybe because its about skeletons, death, murder, and its a 2.5 hour theater experience.
Its the DC version of the Avengers and as expected it will fit nicely along with Batman v. Superman Dawn of Justice. Join us as we explore what makes this film so enjoyable as well as sooooo confusing.
