We lose our minds in Florain Zeller's Family-Verse

Episode brought to you by

Folgers, Pizza Nova, IstaPasta and Mentose

All the way back on episode 90 we reviewed the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and now it be time that we be inclined to acquiesce in completing said franchise, savvy?

We talk Denis Villeneuve's highly anticipated DUNE Part 2.

We get our music on with two very different, but also kind of the same, music artist "movies."

Since we loved JLo's Shotgun Wedding last year, why not give "This Is Me... Now" a chance? And having put ourselves through that insanity it just felt right to follow up with the also sometimes insane Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker."

We take a look at each others recent Letterboxed history to uncover some hidden gems.

We're going back to our bread and butter, the 90s, with this nostalgia fuelled rewatching of the live action adaptation of The Flintstones. Why doesn't everyone love this movie? We sure do. And by we I mean Adam, Nathan, and special guest Brenda!

It's GROUNDHOG DAAAAAAAY!

It's winter, it's cold, it's time to get into survival mode. We've done THE GREY (Episode 69), now it's time to do THE EDGE. Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin star in a man vs nature film from the 90s that still holds up today. Nathan loves survival movies. Potential revised top 100 list material.

These are "new' films to us in 2023, that is top ten first time watches for us.

Thanks for downloading

We each list our top ten favourite movies of 2023. A decent year for movies, not the best, but there are a few standouts.

Merry Christmas, we had a year to recover and we are back at the well of 'hallmark movies' Show favourite Steve returns.

It may have been an accident that Kevin McCallister was left home alone, but it was no accident that these movies were (are) so successful. We're talking top tier Christmas movies, and a billion dollar franchise, Home Alone 1 & 2.

We are in the Christmas season so lets talk Santa Clause.

Ridley Scott has made a film titled "Napoleon" and we have discussed it at length. One of the few times where our discussion is shorter than the movie we are discussing. Of course we also talk about other things off-track, like Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, as one does.

Recap of Adam's recent trip to Walt Disney World, as well as catching up on what we've watched this fall.

Because we watched The Creator and The Last Samurai

we are now watching District 9. It's all connected.

First time watch for both Adam and Nathan we talk Halloween 2.

We talk Tom Cruise's attempt to capture Oscar gold with Edward Zwick's 2003 The Last Samurai. What are they fighting about?

We wrap up our first "Subtember" with what might be the quintessential submarine movie Das Boot. We also head over to Tubi and watch Submarine Seahawk from 1958, same year as Run Silent Run Deep, and there are a few similarities. We also discuss we'd rank all the movies we watched this Subtember and discuss our favourites of the key sub-genre ingredients.

ALL AHEAD FULL RIGHT FULL RUDDER, we continue the month of sub talk.

We're now 4 movies deep into Subtember, as we review U-571 (2000) and Steel Sharks (1997). "What's Steel Sharks?" you probably ask, because it's only ever been logged by 121 people on Letterboxd, and yet stars such big names as Billy Dee Williams, Gary Busey, AND Billy Warlock. Yes THE Billy Warlock. Download and down periscope to find out.

It's finally here, SUBtember is upon us. We start off with 'Red October and Run Silent, Run Deep.

We celebrate our 200th Episode by talking about what we've watched this summer that was worth talking about, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, The Standoff at Sparrow Creek, The Imposter, Elemental, A Bridge Too Far, Knock at the Cabin, and more! Special (and most frequent) guest Steve joins in the festivities.

Happy 200th Episode Line of Sight!

We check out DC's newest release with special guest Mr. Evan. Next week EPISODE 200.

As we come to the end of the summer we talk about the movies coming out we are excited about (and others we are not), what makes a "Summer Movie" and some that we like to watch during the season, and of course we further discuss paper straws. We also have a breakthrough about our future in podcasting that may change our lives forever. And don't forget to listen for Nathan's Tip of the Day™!

We finalize the 13 Star Trek films with Star Trek 2009, Into Darkness, Beyond. Fan favourite Steve joins us.

We're going straight to the Wild Wild West.

We saw the newest Christopher Nolan film. Is Cinema alive and well?

We always have the listener in mind, and as such we decided to not go through all of our watches from June to mid-July, and just give you the highlights and lowlights. If you do want to see everything we watch then follow us on Letterboxd: @Makarenko and @Jonus.

We concluded the TNG run of films with special guest Steve. Surprisingly a lot to talk about.

Two big summer movies, two big podcaster's opinions. As always one supports Marvel, the other supports DC, but what a twist when you hear which one is which!

A little different episode this week, we discuss some important issues like which director should have a theme park and favourite type of human transportation.

We put out extensive movie knowledge to the test and come up with some of, if not the, best years in cinema history.

We talk all about what we've seen in the last month,

Little Mermaid, Across the Spider-Verse , Fast X Black Berry

We're into the Next Generation movies (or numbers 7 & 8 for those keeping count at home) Star Trek: Generations and Star Trek: First Contact. Star Trek expert Steve is with us as always, as well as a mysterious new guest. They may not even be human. Are they AI? Borg? Listen and find out!

Happy Victoria Day. This week's episode will be a little late (again) so here's a little bonus content from last week's episode.

We talk the not very well received Hudson Hawk starring Bruce Willis. Discussion starts approx 15:00

The third volume of the Guardians of the Galaxy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is here, and we want you to listen to us talk about it. Is this James Gunn's masterpiece? Is it just another Guardians movie? Is this the best Marvel Trilogy? Is it at least better than other recent MCU films? Listen to find out the answers to some of these questions and more!

A pile of stuff we watched,

Wrapping up the end of the original Star Trek franchise, we review Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, debatably the best and the worst of the series. But which is which? Listen and find out. Also Steve is back, but he starts talking about Star Wars instead of Star Trek! Classic Steve.

On a very long awaited episode we have two special guests, Brenda and Sarah. Two Titanic experts to guide us through the top block buster of the 1990's

Nothing to do with Basketball, just the many movies and TV shows we watched in the month of March, including: 65, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (again), Creed III, Wing Commander, Super 8, The Fabelmans, The Princess Bride, and so much MORE!

We discuss the new John Wick flick. Does it live up to the rest of the franchise, or will this series become excommunicado?

We talk John Wick one two and three.

We continue to go where no man has gone before, into the Star Trek motion pictures. This week are numbers 3 and 4, yes... "the whale one." What does that even mean? Listen and find out.

Featuring Special Guest "Steve"
