Happy Holidays! Amanda and Zach are back to spread joy and cheer as they discuss the 1992 classic The Muppet Christmas Carol. A Charles Dickens tale that has been adapted countless times, this film just works well for the holiday season. Dare we even say it is the best of the bunch?

We conclude our Spooky Season with an all time classic: Psycho. Join Zach and Amanda as they discuss the importance of this Hitchcock film in its style, thrills, and ideas. Zach and Justin previously reviewed this movie in 2022, so we felt it was a good time to give it another go.

Get those binoculars out. It's time to eavesdrop with Zach and Amanda as they discuss the 2000 thriller/suspense film What Lies Beneath. Even though the year 2000 didn't produce many great films, sometimes you can find some gems. So did this one actually make the cut?

EEEEEKKKKK! Spooky Season is upon us, so Zach and Amanda are about to assimilate with pour duplicates and record our thoughts on the 1978 remake Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Top to bottom great casting and writing, with some incredible practicals. It's pretty hard to talk ill about this film. But we tried!

Get your mind out of the gutter. We continue our exploration of the works of Kirsten Dunst and discuss Dick from 1999. In a spectacular run of three good 1999 films, Dunst shines alongside Michele Williams as two 15 year old's who help expose the Watergate scandal as Nixon's dog walkers. Laughs are to be had, but this movie misses the mark a bit. Available now!

Its Dunst month! On this episode, Amanda and Zach discuss who is the most smartest as they dig deep in to 1999's Drop Dead Gorgeous. A small town dark comedy, this movie is packed with great actors in their early careers who just really shine. This movie hits way harder as time has passed.

Stop eating my sesame cake! Amanda and Zach are talking gorillas, future age tech, jungle exploration, and piss poor literary adaptations. We are talking about the 1995 Sci-Fi film Congo. Wait, but is it actually Sci-fi? Or maybe action adventure? Wait, what the heck is the genre of this movie anyways?

Warriors....come out to plaaaayyyyyyy!!! Actor/Comedian David Bluvband joins Amanda and Zach to discuss the 1979 cult classic The Warriors. When a lone gang is wrongfully accused of a killing, they must fight their way back to the beautiful Coney Island. A movie filled with both style AND substance, this one was a fun conversation.

Happy belated Father's Day! Zach and Amanda sit down to discuss the 2007 comedy/drama Dan in Real Life. Although the film is riddled with issues, there is some heart to it. Where did it go so wrong? And how can it be better?

Well, here goes nothing. Zach and Amanda are back to reluctantly discuss the 2007 "movie" Because I Said So. There are so many things to discuss about this film. Not really any of them are super positive either. We apologize in advance, but enjoy anyways!!

Who wants some blueberry pie?! Amanda and Zach are discussing the 2024 psychological thriller Heretic. Wonderful performances drive this theological horror film in all of it's confusing glory. Does a heavy dialogue filled movie work for you? Some may think it is a deterrent.

We go all the way back to the 70's with the ph so handsome Robert Reford as he explores the corruption within the CIA. The 1975 spy thriller Three Days of the Condor has all the normal beats of an espionage film, yet there is so much more. At the same time, this movie misses the mark on some pretty important stuff. How could it be better?

All's fair in love and basketball. Zach and Amanda sit down to discuss the 2000's romantic melodrama Love & Basketball. A sexy, funny, culturally loved film from the early millennium, this movie stands the test of time. But can it appease every viewer? Is it missing anything? Why do sports films work so well yet others fail hard?

We are keeping it straight up 90's as Zach and Amanda dive into the world of legal thrillers. This week, we focus on The Firm, from 1993. This legal procedural film lacks court room drama, yet finds ways to make it more interesting than you could even imagine. In a busy time of Grisham adaptations, does this film reign supreme?

Forever young. We all wanna be forever young, right? Amanda and Zach talk all things creepy, funny, and nonsensical as they discuss the 1992 dark comedy Death Becomes Her. Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn absolutely crush it in this film. But is that enough to strengthen it's ambiguous message and theme?
