Live from New York City, Cameron and Juzo review two recent releases in this extra long episode. Weapons (2025) is the latest film from Barbarian director Zach Cregger starring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin. Weapons is a thrilling horror movie about a class of children that suddenly go missing. It has twists, turns, and well written and realized characters.

It’s been a long time coming for this show, but JFK (1991) is a cult classic in every sense of the term. With a star studded cast, a frenetic pace, incredible editing and a more than loose grip on reality, the film is truly a special one. Enjoy this review of Oliver Stone’s crackpot feature!

Eddington (2025) is the latest film from the ever-evolving mind of Ari Aster, one of the most beloved new horror directors of the past decade. While Aster has evolved away from horror in his latest two features, he still has a knack for tackling bold and challenging themes in his films. Eddington will certainly scare off some audiences for its close proximity to recent events, but this podcast certainly has much to say about it. 

In preparation for Ari Aster's latest film Eddington, we're revisiting his now classic sophomore film Midsommar. While it's not quite as beloved as his debut Hereditary (2018), it has certainly left its mark in pop-culture. Join us as we discuss the themes of Aster's unique journey to the Swedish countryside.

Sorry for the buildup, but this discussion certainly deserved us taking our time. Considered one of the greatest films of the 21st century, and David Lynch's magnum opus, Mulholland Drive is a film that many consider to be a masterpiece. Does the dream-like feeling of the movie still hold up, or is this the David Lynch movie that will drive Isaac to madness? Find out in this long awaited episode.

28 Years Later is latest film from director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland, the duo that brought you the original 28 Days Later. Set titularly 28 years after the original rage virus infection spread through England, the film follows a group of isolated survivors struggling to figure out their place in this dangerous world. What sounds like a generic plot summary for any modern zombie movie turns into something much more intere...

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) is iconic enough that it’s often used as the example for a sequel that’s “better than the original”. Cameron, Isaac and Juzo discuss whether we think that’s the case and how it holds up 34 years later. There is no doubt, however, that the film remains a true masterclass in style and action. Join us for a long discussion about one of the most iconic movies ever made.

The Terminator (1984) is so ubiquitous that it’s almost forgotten for its more successful sequel. Yet, the film is oozing with style, charm, humor, and a dark sense of dread that it should be remembered more fondly than just “the first one”. James Cameron’s (almost) directorial debut stars Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor, a struggling waitress suddenly thrust into a battle for the future of humanity. Hunting her down is The Terminat...

Avatar is a film that hardly needs an introduction, as it is currently the highest grossing movie of all time. It's an incredibly impressive feat to remain so dominant even 16 years later, not to mention the technological achievement needed to create a film that still looks great today. Does it hold up as an artistic work? Listen to our review to hear what we think!

Continuing our dive into James Cameron, we cover The Abyss (1989). Notoriously known as one of the most difficult and dangerous movies ever made, The Abyss follows Bud Brigman (Ed Harris), a civilian deep-see engineer and his crew as they make a dangerous journey to recover a nuclear submarine. Nearly half of the movie is shot underwater, using specialized diving equipment for the crew and cast. Ed Harris was so traumatized by the ...

Juzo and Isaac revisit James Cameron’s epic romance-disaster film Titanic (1997), diving into why this box office phenomenon still resonates decades later. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as star-crossed lovers aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic and blends historical tragedy with sweeping melodrama and groundbreaking visual effects. Tune in to Cinema Spectator as the duo debates whether Titanic earns its place among...

Today it’s a Double Feature! Kicking off our discussion of the Mission: Impossible franchise, we’re discussing Mission: Impossible and Mission: Impossible II. It’s seriously impressive for a franchise to span nearly 30 years, multiple directors, and plenty of death defying stunts from lead actor Tom Cruise. We look back to the original Brian De Palma film to see the roots of the franchise, and we discuss the much more silly and rid...

We continue with the filmography of David Lynch by exploring a lesser known classic; The Straight Story is a movie that has none of the typical hallmarks of a Lynch film, but nonetheless has the essential DNA of what is at the center of many of his movies. The Straight Story is (as its name implies) a very straightforward story about an elderly man longing to see his brother before it’s too late. Starring Richard Farnsworth as the ...
