It's a big art/blockbuster movie! It's A24, so it's art? But it's a big hit so it's a blockbuster? It's so confusing, so we try to get to the bottom of Alex Garland's "Civil War." Then, we discuss a movie with Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough as Bigfeet in "Sasquatch Sunset." And then it's Vera Drew's festival hit "The People's Joker." Timestamps: …

Sorry we took another week off, but we're back to our weekly shows. We've got three fun ones this week! First, it's Dev Patel's actioner "Monkey Man." Then it's the French science fiction drama "The Beast," with Lea Seydoux. And we close with the Apple TV documentary "Girls State," a "companion" film to 2020's "Boys State." Fun movies to talk about…

After a week off, we are back! (And then we have another week off next week. Sorry. Both Leitch's fault.) We've got good ones to discuss, though. Well, meaty ones, anyway. First, it's another Ghostbusters movie, "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire." Then it's the Doug Liman straight-to-video remake "Road House." And we close with the Sydney Sweeney nun mo…

Hey, we stayed up to talk about the Oscars and posted it right afterwards. Aren't you proud of us? We deserve your praise! Anyway, a big night for "Oppenheimer," and Emma Stone, and "The Zone of Interest," and Cord Jefferson, and John Cena. We talk about two new movies too: It's Rose Glass' "Saint Maud" follow-up with Kristen Stewart, "Love Lies Bl…

The second Dune movie is out! Remember the first one? This is a big hit, this new one, and we dig into it in all its glory. Then we discuss the Adam Sandler Netflix space drama "Spaceman." Then, hey, the Oscars are one week away. We preview the show and make predictions in the eight major categories. Timestamps: 10:11: "Dune: Part Two" 41:31 "Space…

It is almost a Coen Brothers movie: It's "Drive-Away Dolls," directed by Ethan Coen and starring some old Coen staples. We dig into it, and then, with the re-release of "Tenet" in theaters, finally do one full look at the film and pass some sort of final judgment. (For now.) Then in our Reboot segment, we go way back, back to 1940, to revel in the …

Contrary to popular opinion, "Madame Web" is not the last superhero movie. It just feels that way. We discuss the film and ... may like it better than other people. Though we still don't like it. We also dig into the music biopic "Bob Marley: One Love." Then in our Reboot segment, we go the Sam Peckinpah route with "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid," …

Hey, it's Super Bowl Sunday! What better time to talk about something that isn't football. This week, we discuss the Sundance hit "Suncoast," available on Hulu, and the Diablo Cody comedy "Lisa Frankenstein," which is in theaters. Then we dig into, in our Reboot section, the Oscar-nominationed George Clooney comedy-drama "Up in the Air." Enjoy the …

First off, thank you for all the Reboot suggestions last week: Keep them coming, they're great. We'll get to one more next week, and there are a lot on their way. We have two new movies this week. First, the Matthew Vaughn star-studded spy comedy "Argylle." Then there's the indie hit, "How to Have Sex." We also have a Reboot, Terry Zwigoff's 2001 f…

Grierson is back from Sundance, and not only do we recap the festival, we actually discuss his favorite film from Utah, because Leitch actually saw it too: It's Jesse Eisenberg's "A Real Pain." Bonus movie! Then we hit two Reboots: Robert Altman's classic "California Split" and Reese Witherspoon's first movie, "The Man in the Moon." Also, we need a…

We're back! We hope you missed us; we missed you. This week, we preview the Sundance Film Festival, which Grierson is about to leave for, and make some Oscar nomination predictions. We also review our first film of 2024, "Mean Girls," which launches us into a larger and even a little contentious conversation about Tina Fey. Fun! Welcome back! Times…

It's Dorkfest! Dorkfest 2023 is here! This is our annual countdown of our favorite 10 movies of 2022. It was a great, GREAT movie year. We can't wait to talk to you about it. Have a great holiday, everyone. We'll see you in 2024. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. And to John Dog…

OK, this is it, the big penultimate show, our big lightning-round wrapup show to get every movie we can before Dorkfest, which is coming in two days. So many movies to get to!

Oh, wow, are we ever in the home stretch now. Two big big movies this week, and then a Netflix one with a bunch of stars. First, it's the Yorgos Lanthimos/Emma Stone black comedy "Poor Things." Then it's Jonathan Glazer's first movie in 10 years, the Holocaust drama "The Zone of Interest." We finish with the Netflix adaptation of "Leave the World B…

We're taking another week off after this show to gear up for the home stretch, but we've got big big movies this week. First, it's the epic "Napoleon," from Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix. Then it's Bradley Cooper's pseudo-biopic of Leonard Bernstein, "Maestro." And we finish with Emerald Fennell's followup to her Oscar-winning "Promising Young W…

We have just five shows left in 2023, counting this one. It's almost Thanksgiving. And it's almost crunch time. This week, we have two Netflix movies and a soccer comedy. First, it's Todd Haynes' psychological drama (among other things) "May December." Then it's the Obamas-produced historical biopic "Rustin." Those are the Netflix movies. Then we h…

It's almost Thanksgiving, if you all can believe that. It feels like it was just 1986 yesterday. This week, we have the "wait, Marvel has a new movie out?" big release "The Marvels." Then we dig into Alexander Payne's return trip with Paul Giamatti, "The Holdovers." Then we close with the HBO documentary, "Albert Brooks: Defending My Life." Timesta…
