#B27 Overlord (APRIL)
Wolfenstein put on film! Some films can imitate the feel of a beloved game franchise or like Hardcore Henry, can pull off looking like a game. Overlord feels like a close and gory and fun adaptation of the WWII shooter. This period action flick knows where to take itself seriously and when to have fun and you can feel it with the opening scene, mirroring a potential serious war drama then filling into the German testing grounds of Nazi soldiers with glee.

#75 Avengers: Endgame, Unicorn Store, Wayne’s World
The biggest movie of the universe is first on deck this week. The three hour spectacle was met surprisingly well by one of us with superhero fatigue. Avengers has a fun and great middle with memorable bookends. Wayne’s World shows us how to chill and party on while giving us blueprints to the way some movies are made. Unicorn Store is Brie Larson venturing beyond acting in a quirky and colorful comedy.

#74 Pet Sematary, Transit, 25th Hour
This week we tackle the horrors of badly adapting a Stephen King novel, the bitter timelessness of a Nazi-occupied France and a New Yorker hate rant that turns to the best hope for humanity. Pet Sematary has a great supporting cast but falls through lots of meandering, especially by the end. Transit asks the viewer many questions about surviving amongst survivors, learning from history and who forgets first; the one who leaves or the one left behind. 25th Hour is a crowning achievement from this century, depicting New York in a post-9/11 world that understands the complexities of hate but holds out hope.

#73 Us, Triple Frontier, Blue Velvet
Today's show has a couple of juicy movies and a dud. Triple Frontier tries to teach greedy ex-military lessons but misses its character developments and the point by using a sledgehammer. Jordan Peele’s latest horror film proves the need for mainstream originality and has amazing scares and performances. Blue Velvet is the first in a series of eight films that starts our Streets and Culs De Sac marathon; a David Lynch classic about the terrifying underbelly of small town life.

#B26 Bad Times At The El Royale (MARCH)
The person behind The Martian and The Cabin In The Woods has made a great action mystery. We do not get many film like this anymore; the mystery, crime and tonal glamour. Several coinciding tales of types of criminal behavior rolled into a cohesive fun time. The setting of the El Royale and secrets it holds is worth the genre exercise.

#72 Greta, The Lords of Chaos, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind
This week, we discuss what it means to be true Norwegian Black Metal, how do build a windmill (DIY style) and the best way to act in New York. Toxic relationships is the motif in Greta which brings a good director and devoted European actress to ram up the tension. The Lords of Chaos embraces the fallacy of sticking to the ‘truth’ in typical biopics and becomes more horrifying. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is the latest of directorial debut from a prominent actor that is the lightest and brightest film of the batch.

#71 Academy Awards, High Flying Bird, How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
Has 2018 in movies end yet? The answer is yes officially with the 91st Academy Awards ceremony, completely host-less. We bash Green Book and compliment Roma and more opinions about the evening. High Flying Bird brings the experimental side of Steven Soderbergh with the play behind the play of basketball racial politics. The third installment and lesson of how to actually train a dragon comes to a close with a mixture of adoration and disappointment.

#B25 The Predator (FEBRUARY)
Shane Black’s history of screenwriting and directing (Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) has bode well or well enough. Out comes a new rendition or sequel/remake-ish mashup of the classic action flick. It has a promising enough cast and something to say about the series as a staple in American alien horror. The Predator may not the action comedic hit it wanted to be but that isn’t for the lack of trying.

#70 The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Velvet Buzzsaw
Will you ever forgive us for reviewing yet another biopic? We think you should and hope you enjoyed Melissa McCarthy’s performance as we did; not to mention the good storytelling on display about a blocked writer that resorts to forging to make ends meet. The Lego Movie 2 proves that some sequels are good and entertaining and doesn’t have to meet the expectations of it predecessor. Velvet Buzzsaw has Nightcrawler cast and crew back to deliver a horror movie hidden at first as an art-critique tale within LA.

#69 Academy Awards Nominations, Fyre Fraud, Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened
Our first normal show of the year! Today we will talk about some of the good choices the Academy made with the nominations including titles like Roma, The Favourite and BlackKklansman. We also talk about the social politics of not using a host this year and their boneheaded nominations like Vice, A Star Is Born and Green Book. We also have an experimental double review brought to you by Hulu and Netflix: Fyre. A scam and festival set of documentaries where Oscar reviews the Netflix special and Ralf covers the Hulu one. Should be fun.

#B24 First Reformed (JANUARY)
We bring you an interesting bonus episode. We’re here to talk about a best-of-the-year contender starring the fluid Ethan Hawke. What does our modern day world mean to good people? What is thoughtful in a thoughtless culture? The story of a priest coming to terms with the sins of his surroundings and the authority figures that bring him down touches all who watches. A swift and bitter decline from ignorance and a movie worth talking about.

The very same rules apply to television as we sued for movies. There’s Honorable Mentions, Disappointment and Missed Opportunities. We have a special guest who has a more diverse show-watching habit than Oscar, which has a diverse list from Ralf. There will be a couple similarities but expect network shows and anime in addition to the critics faves. Also, on a positive note, the reigning channels or streaming services don’t belong to any clear winner: it’s quite spread out this year.

#B23 Sorry To Bother You (DECEMBER)
Sorry to bring this up, but Sorry To Bother You, much like most people out there, is super interesting. Lakeith Stanfield shows us his leading role promise by turning into a confident salesman trying to get by this life of corporate gods and political subterfuge. It’s bonkers, hilarious, dark, loving and has something to discuss in virtually every scene if not every plot and subplot.

#65 Creed 2, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Schindler's List
Two sequels and a period piece walk into a bar… This will be our last official show of the year, so why not go with two big moviegoing flicks and a past Best Picture winner. Schindler’s List is Spielberg’s most influential film besides some of his sci-fi work and we find his heartstring pulling and technique to be at the top of his game. Ralph Breaks the Internet was more literal than anticipated but a good message about friendship nevertheless. Creed 2 is a clear fun romp of a boxing flick. We’ll be back just before the end of the month for a look in films in 2018 before releasing Top 10.

We have a special show in my opinion. We dive into Widows, a genre film like few others where expectations and craft are worked effortlessly. We also continue our Spielberg marathon with Hook, a movie that defines many our age an we take a look at the long-lasting effects. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs was a late addition to the show and it proves to be an amazing choice. We break down all the shorts and marinate in the Western heaven the Coen Bros. have made.

#63 Bohemian Rhapsody, Don’t Worry He Won’t Get Far On Foot, Empire Of The Sun
Hello ladies and germs. This week, purely by happenstance, we present three biographical depictions from people living through hard and wild times in the 40’s, 70’s and 80’s. Bohemian Rhapsody hardly needs an introduction but we do discuss the merits of choosing the bands’ most famous song as its title. Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot is a wonderful biopic about an alcoholic cartoonist played greatly by Joaquin Phoenix. Empire of the Sun, out of our Spielberg marathon, tells the story of a boy growing up way too fast on a Japanese POW camp during WW2.

We also delve into the bizarre and cult-leveled and gory atmospheric Apostle, starring the great Dan Stevens. As part of our ongoing Spielberg marathon, we talk about a horror sci-fi anthology film The Twilight Zone. Dante, Spielberg, Miller and Landis join forces for a mixed bag of fun stories.

#B21 Solo: A Star Wars Story
Have you ever wondered how exactly Han got his full name? That is the aura of the review coming to you today with Solo. While we enjoy some of the action-caper elements brought by Ron Howard and the two previous directors, we can’t help support a fictional prequel that treats its characters like a subpar biopic. Great performances by the leads and support and the film is no easy feat had it succeeded anyway.

We also talk about the unfortunate dreadful Venom, calling the Tom Hardy vehicle an interesting mistake with an almost unrecognizable Michelle Williams.

We have started a new marathon! We take on the works of Steven Spielberg with 12 of his films from the 70’s to today; beginning with Duel. Duel is clearly one of the best made-for-TV movies of its era. We also discuss the true story of a teenage snitch and drug kingpin from the 80’s; White Boy Rick. We also get into yet another live action film based on a famous anime, Bleach, and discover that even though it’s one of the few better ones out there, it doesn’t mean much.

Wes Anderson’s latest and second animated attempted feature has proven to be a successful way for his attention to detail flourish. Luke and Oscar tackle this film and discuss not only the plot and animation but the Japanese atmosphere and comedic timing.

#59 The Nun, Searching, Borg vs McEnroe
This time around, we visiting the lopsided grave markers of Romania, sleuthing online for a missing child and watching a tennis match in 1980. Despite entertaining spinoffs and sequels from the Conjuring universe, we discuss their worst entry so far. Searching proves the new movie sub-genre to be useful and a good way to tell a tried and true story of suspense. Borg vs McEnroe is a sports biopic about two heavyweight tennis players in 1980 that has a solid ramp up but lacks creativity.

#58 Mile 22, The Happytime Murders, The Rider
We have an eclectic bath of reviews this week. We start by discussing Mark Wahlberg being stranger than usual in Mile 22 as he watches his super secret ops team get eliminated. We find out how gross muppets can be with Happytime Murders and wonder how a good movie premise can go so wrong. The Rider, on the other hand, blends reality with narrative filmmaking in a way rarely seen about a modern day cowboy struggling with life’s decision to keep him away from his dreams.

If Sparrow School is code for Russian whore spies, then what does Dove School teach? We bring back Lexi to review Red Sparrow with Oscar, discussing the merits of Jennifer Lawrence’s decisions as an actress and the plot holes of the film, not to mention that having a woman for this gender-neutralizing film is a good choice. Yes, we do hope the film had more to offer but it’s not devoid of conversation-making.

The Bleeding Edge teaches us the pitfalls of mistaking innovating ideas with untested trials in the medical community. The Shop Around the Corner finishes our Alpha Classics Marathon and you’ll see why when you hear it.

Let’s see how romantic we can’t be? Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest piece stars the great Daniel Day Lewis and equally great Lesley Manville and Vicky Krieps playing in 1950’s London chic and twisting the terms of relationships. So, of course, we bring in guest host Lexi to untie the many knots created by the film.
Alma becomes the muse and lover of the renowned and snobby dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock, which disrupt his fastidious lifestyle with her song will.

This week deals in serious questions about being human, the nature of breaking down nature and how memory can deceive you. Annihilation is the replacement film we went with and serves up a lengthy discussion about the crazy sci-fi concepts introduced. The Tale is our second in a row HBO original film about the filmmakers struggle to cope with a past misunderstood. Finally, our marathon pick this week is steeped in film noir with Double Indemnity, which holds the classic dames and the killer motives.

We take in an Oscar-winning oldie with Ben Hur and try our best not to complain about its length and hopefully appreciate its character building.

Marathon this week delves into the theatrical with the conflict triangle between love of someone and love of dancing. The Red Shoes, often hailed by many contemporaries, has inspired many films since and holds true by the Archers directors. We also look into the sublimely dark comedy The Death of Stalin which takes Russian politics to absurdity. We also had the pleasure to view the first film from Studio Ponoc, Mary and the Witch’s Flower; which brings magic in swishes of storytelling technique and colors. Stay tuned on the website to find out the next show’s roster.

Luke joins the whole roster this time around as he’s the one this week to pick the three films we’re reviewing today. We begin with Ready Player One, a movie based on an 80’s fanboy author’s work and directed by a key figure in blockbuster cinema. We move onto an indie pseudo-fantasy film called I Kill Giants; about a giant-slayer little girl who’s overcoming family trauma that bleeds into her school time. The final review deals with out newest marathon; It Happened One Night. A film from the 30’s that serves as a formula to much of the romantic comedies and road trip films since.

Director-actor projects like Murder On The Orient Express are always unpredictable in how they will turn out. Kenneth Branagh is taking on a beloved book that’s been adapted various times and we can’t wait to see how it’ll play as far as its mystery, its older style compared to modern sensibilities and the amazing acting ensemble. The latter is the main element that makes us excited to watch and review it as a bonus; Michelle Pfeiffer up against Judy Dench next to Penelope Cruz for example.
