Do you have it in you to make it epic? The Brothers ponder this question during a roundtable discussion of George Millerâs FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA. They start the conversation with some fast takes on every film in the MAD MAX series. Afterwards, they dig into FURIOSA specifically, exploring its action filmmaking, approach to myth, character building, and comparisons to FURY ROAD. They continue the discussion by broadening the focus to explore each other film in the series: MAD MAX, MAD MAX 2 (a.k.a. THE ROAD WARRIOR), MAD MAX: BEYOND THUNDERDOME, and MAX MAD: FURY ROAD. They offer each of their series rankings and assorted thoughts about how the series spawned the post-apocalyptic subgenre as a whole.

Is ROAD HOUSE truly ROAD HOUSE without Patrick Swayze? This question looms over the Brothers roundtable discussion of Doug Limanâs ROAD HOUSE, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. They discuss the filmâs action filmmaking, storytelling, setting, and approach as a remake before comparing it to Rowdy Herringtonâs original film starring Patrick Swayze. In particular, they outline some of the many reasons why the original film is not a guilty pleasure, but rather one of the best action films of the 1980s.

Indebted to Otto Premingerâs ANATOMY OF A MURDER as well as many prestige dramas from the 1980s and 1990s, Justine Trietâs ANATOMY OF A FALL is one of the best reviewed movies of 2023 and a nominee for Best Picture and Best Director at this yearâs Oscars. The Brothers dig into the film and its deliberately ambiguous storytelling in a roundtable discussion. In particular, they focus on the filmâs withholding of information, stylistic approach, interrogation of the French legal system, and showy performances. They also debate the filmâs central question: did she do it?

The Brothers examine the state of modern, large-scale genre filmmaking in a roundtable discussion of GODZILLA MINUS ONE, the surprisingly successful new entry in the long-running kaiju series from Toho Studios. They discuss the filmâs dramatic approach, action sequences, and homages to the work of Steven Spielberg and Studio Ghibli before they turn their attention to Snyderâs REBEL MOON: PART ONE, the divisive directorâs attempt to create a space opera franchise on Netflix.

When it came out in 1970, Donald Shebibâs GOINâ DOWN THE ROAD was considered the greatest English-language Canadian film ever made. Today, it remains one of the seminal films of Canadian cinema and a profound working class drama about shattered dreams in Toronto. In light of Donald Shebibâs passing late last year, Anton and Aren discuss GOINâ DOWN THE ROAD and why it remains such a powerful work to this day.

Is THE KILLER David Fincherâs return to form or Fincherâs self-reflexive critique of his own filmmaking habits? Could it be both?

Whatâs scarier? Emotional trauma or a literal demon? David Gordon Greenâs THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER seems to think both are plenty spooky as it recreates the structure of William Friedkinâs original film to explore evil, both psychological and spiritual. The Brothers dig into whether this gambit works in a roundtable discussion, which also touches on the filmâs role as a legacy sequel, its syncretic religiosity, its performances, and its success (or failure) as a horror film. Afterwards, they broaden the discussion to examine THE EXORCIST series as a whole, remarking on which films in the series work best and how the original film remains so iconic 50 years later.

Is A HAUNTING IN VENICE a horror movie? The marketing makes it seem like Kenneth Branagh has reinvented his Hercule Poirot series as a haunted house horror thriller, with grisly deaths, supernatural happenings, and an overwhelming atmosphere of dread. But does the movie match the marketing? Yes, and no. The Brothers dig into the filmâs genre positioning in a roundtable discussion. They also example the filmâs theatricality, Branaghâs roots as a Shakespeare actor and director, and the filmâs examination of spiritualism vs materialism. Later, they look back on the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN trilogy to mark the 20th anniversary of THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL.

What are the most influential movies of the 1970s? The standard answer is to say STAR WARS and JAWS, as these two blockbusters reinvented Hollywood and became the lode stars of mainstream filmmaking for the following decades. But the Brothers argue that George Lucasâs AMERICAN GRAFFITI deserves to be in the conversation as one of the most influential Hollywood movies of the decade. In a roundtable discussion to mark its 50th Anniversary, the Brothers examine AMERICAN GRAFFITI and its various thematic and formal approaches, including its nostalgic lens, its performances, its characterizations, its experimental sound recording, and the filmâs indebtedness to the French New Wave.
