Ok, so WOLFS comes out this week, but probably not to a big screen near you. Sadly, this is where we are at. Clooney! Pitt! Watch it at home! To distract ourselves from this hell, we travel back to a time when big stars meant big screens. Dave and James Coddington talk CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, DiCaprio, and Hanks!
Join us as we make the case that Spielberg is somehow underrated, this is a Christmas movie, and it is even better than you think! We are not conning you, we promise. Mostly.

Ok, finally we get to see SPEAK NO EVIL this week, a movie that has burrowed into the mind of anyone who has gone into a theater lately. And to do that, we bring Dara Cosby on to talk about another horrific dinner party, with THE INVITATION, directed by Karyn Kusama.
We talk Tom Hardy adjacent actors, slow builds, and death cults. You know, normal stuff. So join us and drink the Kool-Aid of Kusama.

We have finally reached peak nostalgia. Michael Keaton has agreed to put on more hideous makeup for BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE. Will it be any good? Does it matter? Who knows. But you know what is good? Having JD Duran of Insession Film here to geek out over fighter jets. Given the long length between movies in the aforementioned Burton movie, we are looking at TOP GUN: MAVERICK, a movie that almost certainly did it better. We talk Tony Scott, aerial maneuvers, and dealing with grief and fatherhood.
Strap in for some serious G-Force (or just some movie talk).
