Jordan Peele inspired Josiah and John to create this podcast, and so it is appropriate that his film, NOPE, is the subject of our 100th episode. Nope is a genre breaking critique of the modern (and ultimately) human infatuation with spectacle. The film channels Jaws, the great westerns of the 1950s and 60s, a host of paranoid, alien invasion films, and Spielberg's cinematic style. All of that is supported by beautiful visual imagery, stellar acting, deep cinema history references, and a well crafted plot. Josiah and John have been waiting since seeing US to review and discuss Peele's work on the podcast and they don't skip a beat. The conversation is their reaction and unrehearsed analysis and, like the film, does not kick into high gear until midway through the conversation. It is all great fun, but the meat comes after some verbal antipasto. Check out the timestamps below to see where you want to join into the dialogue.

Back after a hiatus filled with births and death, Josiah and John journey to the realms of the gods to explore Taika Waititi's second Thor film. This one has met with some controversy, but love it or butcher it, Love and Thunder opens a path in the Bifrost for much more MCU magic. Richly Waititiesque, Love and Thunder is both tonally inconsistent and emotionally satisfying.

And we're back after a few weeks off due and we're discussing and reviewing the newest addition to the MCU, Dr. Strange In The Multiverse of Madness. Raimi fans will love it. Non-Raimi fans might have problems with it. We fall into both categories and appreciate the filmmaking aspect, but also think that some of Raimi's specific style really causes... you know what? Just listen to the podcast and hear our critique. Normally we're pretty forgiving with MCU films, but we really have some issues here. What did you think of the film?

The Northman is a downright brutal film. And we talk about all of it. Our review and conversation about The Northman covers everyting from the intensity of the music, to the unbelievable shots, and the entire epic-ness of it all, and so much more. We actually had to stop ourselves because we could've talked for another hour together about this film. Eggers certainly delivered on a $90 Million Viking epic. As usual, there are spoilers ahead on this episode.

If you're someone who says that original movies aren't being made, well you couldn't be more wrong. Everything Everywhere All At Once is a prime example of a wildly original idea that is both absurd and full of emotion and heart. This is hands down one of the best films of 2022 and it's only April! There are spoilers everywhere in this episode and we highly encourage you to watch this film without any expectations so that you can experience the magic that is Everything Everywhere All At Once without any pre-conceived ideas. So that means skip this episode, watch the film, and come back and listen to us talk about the movie.

Another year, another Batman reboot. HOWEVER, this one is different. Pattinson wears the cowl this time and his Batman is striking, and his Gotham is more grounded in the real world. Is it better than Nolan's The Dark Knight? Well, we discuss that, of course, along with with everything from Greig Fraser's astounding cinematography to Michael Giacchino's brilliant scoring, to all of the little things like Batman gadgets, Kravitz's Catwoman, and so much more. Seriously, we could've talked for another hour.

Before he was the legendary treasure hunter, Nathan Drake was just a normal guy... or at least that's the case with the film adaptation. That's right. We're talking all about Uncharted, and sharing some of the major differences and similarities between the story you all know and love from the Playstation to the silver screen. There are spoilers ahead. You've been warned! In addition to our review about Uncharted, you'll also hear about what other films we have been watching since our last episode and what films we're looking forward to later this year.

In our review and conversation of HBO's recent release, Kimi, starring Zoë Kravitz and directed by Steven Soderbergh, we discuss our admiration for the director, it's homage to movies like Rear Window, along with the technical aspects like camera work, production design, and costuming, in addition to a glaring issue or two that caught John completely off guard.

In our review and conversation of Ridley Scott's latest film, The Last Duel, we're heading back 14th century France to witness three accounts of Jean de Carrouges, Jacque le Gris, and Marguerite, and in the process, make our own assumptions of who is telling the truth. In the end, the truth will be revealed by God as we witness a trial by combat between de Carrouges and le Gris that will determine the fate of Marguerite. This film is full of subtle performances, precise direction, and attention to detail. We're discussing much of this film from both a filmmaking and storytelling perspective so join us for a great conversation about this film!

SPOILERS EVERYWHERE! We are discussing Season 2, episodes 6 and 7. We'll recap the entirety of it and have a great time talking all things Witcher. Those things include things like... the massive reveal at the end, who hired Reince, who were those riders in the desert, and what is with all the monoliths?
Josiah has read the books and played countless hours in Witcher 3 and therefore, may end up merging or confusing what happens in each as it relates to the show. John has read through Blood of Elves and that is the extent of his knowledge of the source material. We're hoping that this makes for some very different outlooks on the show and for a good discussion.
