Ho ho ho. We continue our "Tops and Bottoms December" by discussing another stinker of a film, 2007's Fred Claus. A slapstick comedy about Santa Claus' un-extraordinary and bitter older brother, this movie has some major hiccups. Amanda wasn't a huge fan, but Zach does make some compelling points. Anyways, check it out!

Ho ho ho. We continue our "Tops and Bottoms December" by focusing on a....well...a "film" that makes some interesting choices. Disclaimer: this one was rough. Amanda and Zach sat and reviewed the LOWEST rated Christmas movie (according to Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB) Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas. Even though the movie was rough, we both had a ton to say.

Happy Halloween to all our number 1 fans out there! What a better way to celebrate the holiday than to get special guest David Dassau to help us discuss Misery from 1990. A masterclass in fiction from Stephen King is wonderfully transitioned to screen in this chilling adaptation.

More brains!!!! Zach and Amanda continue with Spooky Season by discussing 1985's The Return of the Living Dead. Not to be affiliated with any George A. Romero films, this balls-to-the-wall zombie film is full of punk, style, and gore. A beloved cult classic that may be too difficult to show to newbies of the genre. Tune in now!

7 days!!! Spooky season continues as Amanda and Zach ask Matt Braunsdorf to help discuss the iconic 1998 international phenomenon Ringu. Countless sequels, adaptations, and general plot structures have been derived from this original film. But what else has it done for film? And how do we quantify "scary?"

We kick off Spooky Season with a cult classic from 1996. Amanda and Zach sit down to discuss The Craft and all of it's witchiness. A fitting film for the 90's that deals with some typical teenage growing pains. Even though it's loved by many, is it cult classic worthy?

It's time for some more 90's mid budget erotic thrillers! This week, Zach and Amanda are discussing the 1992 twisty-turvy Single White Female. When Hedy moves in with Allie, things seem as normal as can be. But looks may be deceiving. How does this erotic thriller stack up to the myriad of well executed others in the 90's? And what is the re-watchability factor?

How far is going too far in this 90's thriller that has suffered a bit from the changing times, but overall still holds it's weight. Or does it......

We blow the top off of this episode as Amanda and Zach discuss the 1997 geological action film Dante's Peak. In a quaint mountain town, a beautiful threat looms over the people as mother nature unleashes her natural circles of life. Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton star in this 90's mid-budget thriller. But....were they the correct choices for the leads? Or could this movie have benefited from someone better?

Strap on that life jacket because Amanda and Zach are discussing The River Wild from 1994. A tour-de-force of performances from actors and mother nature, this movie just plain and simply rocks. There is something to be said about a low stakes watch of a movie, and while this one does it, there is a lot that you can discuss.

Jodie Foster plays a stoic and cunning mother trying to protect her daughter from some real bad dudes trying to break into her lavish brownstone in NYC.

We conclude our Pride Month series with a wonderful discussion between Amanda, Zach, and special guest Matt Braunsdorf as they dissect the 1996 queer film Bound. A sexy thriller and early work from the Wachowski sisters, Bound delivers all sorts of turns and surprises. Not enough adjectives can describe what happens in this movie, so check it out and see if we nailed the discussion!

Pride Month continues as Amanda, Zach, and special guest Joe Lipsett from the Horror Queers talk about the blood, daggers, costumes, smashing the patriarchy, and brides in their discussion of The Blood Spattered Bride (1972). This beautiful yet macabre queer horror film fits a niche genre that should most likely be expanded upon. But does the film work or does it miss its mark? And how much "bright red" blood is enough?

Pride Month continues as Amanda and Zach talk about the 1985 Stephen Frears small budget film My Beautiful Launderette. This movie is marked by wonderful performances and a positive LGBTQ story. So why can't Amanda and Zach agree on this film?

It's Pride month, so Amanda and Zach enlisted the help of Paul from the That Aged Well podcast to share his thoughts as we deep dive into the heartwarming and culturally rich 1993 film, The Wedding Banquet. Directed by Ang Lee, this groundbreaking comedy-drama explores the complexities of identity, family expectations, and the immigrant experience through the story of a gay Taiwanese man and his sham marriage. Join us as we unpack the film's nuanced portrayal of cultural clashes, hidden truths, and the universal quest for acceptance.
