Which one of these movies is more fun and why? Stuart and Jazeen get ranty, they get mad, they cannot believe one of these things got made.

Clue, based on the board game, focuses on a mysterious dinner party full of mysterious guests in a mysterious mansion. All being blackmailed, the dinner guests are given a weapon, a candlestick, a knife, a gun, and so forth. They’re faced with a choice — kill the butler, leave quietly and rema...

Stuart and Jazeen talk about how stories should have a central question that gets us invested, why having a symbol in a movie isn’t enough to make Stuart care, how to make Pulse 10% better (there's no saving Dark Water) and how Jazeen went from a lover of J Horror to not.

Pulse centres around three disconnected storylines trying to figure out why in the heck people in Toyko keep disappearing. Apparently, the internet has become...

Stuart and Jazeen talk about the charisma and talent and skill of Philip Seymour Hoffman. FAN GIRLZ! They talk the wacky film editing choices made in the early 2000s, Marisa Tomei's addiction to biting her lip, Stuart's hatred of title cards, Jazeen's hatred of musical mofits that are so on the nose they're annoying and Stuart's hatred of directors who think they're clever and want you to know they're cl...

Stuart and Jazeen chat about up and coming director Jane Shoenbrun's only existing films (to date). Unnerving, fresh and very pink and purple, "We're All Going to the World's Fair" and "I Saw the TV Glow" are two films to watch if you love Lynch, Cronenberg, themes of isolation, media, and coming-of-age.

We talk about how there are maybe too many endings but we're not mad about it, how these film...

I am excited to talk to my childhood friend and business lady extraordinaire, Sarah Todd. She chose The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) which still freaking holds up. We talk about how hobbit doors are very impractical, how Gandalf is straight blazin' 24/7, and how we think Sauron is just a hurt little boy that needs a hug.

This episode I'm joined by Natalie Shore — the guitar shredding, lovely human being and half of London, Ontario's dopest rock duo, Hot Soda. Natalie chose a little short film called Harvie Krumpet (link below to watch) that packs a punch right in the feelings. We chat about how creepy claymation is, how everyday is magical and of course, the band and their debut single "Bubblegum."

In this episode I'm joined by some pals from a screenwriting class I took back in 2018 — Lance, Quinn and Shahin. Lance chose this flick, War for the Planet of the Apes (2017), and we chat about everything from the incredible CGI work by Weta, the moral dilemmas in this movie and why I don't like kid characters in films. 

You can find Lance's cinematography/writing and films at https://lancegoosen.blogspot.com/ and on Instagram a...

Business developer at PurpleDOG Post, Keshia Saldanha, gives the rundown on the melodrama that doesn't quite hit its mark: House of Gucci (2021). We chat about the book, Ridley Scott's varied career, purposeless sex scenes, Italians and why Jared Leto should stop messing with his beautiful face.

This week Jazeen and writer/filmmaker Josiah Crocker fangirl hard over his pick of flick, Riders of Justice (2020). It's a Danish film starring Mads Mikkelsen with a majestic beard, unholy anger problems and a revenge complex. He's joined by three mega-nerds to take down a gang who may or may not be responsible for his wife's death. Jo and Jazeen talk about how the film navigates fatherhood, grief, trauma, chance and the fact that ...

In this special double bill episode Jazeen is joined by reoccurring guest and master of sound Jim Kelly to chat about Ridley Scott's atmospheric horror classic with the drips and chains and the James Cameron sequel with the quips and the Newts. Both Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986) have been dubbed horror/sci-fi classics and are both solid films in their own right. We chat sound, we chat director's cut vs theatrical release and of co...

History of the World Part 1 written/directed by Mel Brooks is a very silly film indeed. But with any good comedy, there's always a bit more going on under the hood. Musician, comic, teacher Josh Mover chose this childhood favourite that seems to be following him around. After seeing it a million times, he's got some thoughts. We chat musical numbers, we chat old comedy legends and we chat good-bad movies. Would Mel Brooks be a Tik-...

This episode is just as juicy as Imhotep. We talk about how some indecent exposure happened on the set of The Mummy. Why the guest this week, entrepreneur Josh Hollings, is afraid of earwigs and how The Mummy made that fear worse. I'm talking scarabs ya'll. How nobody appreciates a good scare anymore and why Benny is the real villain of the movie.
