We’re back to seeing movies in theaters! Mike and I decided to pay The Batman (2022) a visit and boy were we not impressed.

In this abbreviated Christmas Special™, Mike and I discuss the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad Christmas classic, Jingle All the Way (1996). This movie is... pretty good. It's not a true Christmas classic for a reason, but it's a pretty funny take on Christmas, consumerism and horny single dads trying to break up happy marriages. After this we're …

This week Mike and I discuss a confluence of kung fu, with Jackie Chan's Police Story (1985) & Disney Marvel's Shang Chi (2021). While Shang Chi is just good, Police Story was a revelation for me personally.

Math! I remember Math... Psychohistory came with math... On this week's Subject To Blackout Mike and I ponder the mathlessness of episodes one and two of Apple TV+'s adaptation of Issac Asimov's Foundation. TL;DL, Mike hates it and I don't.

Black Orpheus is a 1959 Brazilian film that retells the Greek tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice. If that sentence doesn't bore you to death, feel free to stream this cinematic classic on the Criterion Channel. If like me, you're thinking that that film might not be for you, it probably isn't! This film is beautiful to look at but purposefully lingers…

In an effort to familiarize ourselves more with the directorial work of John McTiernan, Mike and I watched Predator, his sophomore directorial effort.

This week on Subject To Blackout, Mike and I revisit, not only the 2004 Indie classic Garden State, but also it's fantastic and seminal soundtrack.

Sweet and funny to s…

In this episode, Mike Marshall (from the Name Taken Podcast) and I review 1995's Kevin Costner vehicle, Waterworld. If you haven't seen it, it's just as bad and uninteresting as you fear.
