No Country For Old Men

Poor Man’s High Noon. The monster movie as a western trope has been reviewed here before, and I think it worked better. ★★★☆☆ Ok, so the first thing I need to say is hear me out. A lot of you are already texting me, slacking me, or heading to my front door to tell me how wrong […]

High School Never Ends

This week, we tackle the daunting subject of high school movies. Our two featured films are Scent of a Woman and Me Earl and the Dying Girl. We get pretty heavy on spoilers for Me Earl and the Dying Girl so proceed with caution. We had a few technical glitches this week and so the audio quality is lower in the 2nd half of the podcast.

I’ve known about Alexander Payne’s Election for many years now. […]

Defending Your Life

Rich Man’s One Fine Day – as far as rom-coms go, this one actually has characters with some sort of personality. ★★★★☆ The rom-com is a vexing genre of movie. On one hand, its comedic movies about people who fall in love, and that sounds like a really good time. On the other hand, it […]
