We need to find a schedule related WD-40 to permanently prevent the rust we keep kicking off. But now that we're back, we discuss being back, Emmys?, RIP Robert Redford, and more. See you next week (maybe?).The BasicsFlick — Superman (2025)Six — New(burgh) AspirationsHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsJames Gunn's Superman strikes the right balance of being unmistakably his style without being overwhelming. Corny but strong performances honor the campy origins while carving out fresh territory. A solid jumping-off point for the Gunniverse. 7/10 — AnthonyNot quite as campy as the Reeves movies, and not half as brooding as the Snyderverse, this movie largely strikes a strong balance of tone, easter egg, plot, and character. So business as usual for James Gunn. 7.5/10 — Al
A trailer heavy news segment, a book heavy consumption. And a nice extension of the Succession-era billionaire fuckery universe. This episode isn't meager.The BasicsFlick — MountainheadSix — Czig Meister Sunset SherbetHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsAn uncomfortable, insane, and all-too-accurate portrait of the worst parts of the industry I'm married to. 7/10 — AnthonyLike snorting a season of Succession cut with a sprinkle of Death of Stalin. 8/10 — Al
We've been back almost as many times as we've done episodes. We'll keep coming back. Our future is not yet fully written. We hope you choose to accept our podcast in your earholes.The BasicsFlick — Mission: Impossible - The Final ReckoningSix — Millhouse Blueberry BlessingsHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsThe return to the movies that I've been waiting for. Nothing short of a blockbuster*. 8/10 — AnthonyThe most audacious Mission, if nothing else, and another wild ride. If this is the end, that works… if not, we’ll choose to accept another. 8/10 — Al
Back in time to prepare for #OscarsSzn, we have some Star Wars stuff, a catchup and consumption sesh, and a streaming rant #IsItOnThe'Cock. You don't even have to make a pilgrimage to Poland to listen.The BasicsFlick — A Real PainSix — Tin Barn Hop SpliceHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsAn impossibly grounded portrayal of mental illness, its impact by proximity, and the lingering effects of generational trauma. 8/10 — AnthonyA heartfelt dramedy about two cousins trying to access familial pain and heal while hijinks ensue. 7.5/10 — Al
Apologies for that title we were tire. Welcome back to Gianna as our first guest in a while. So many news. notes, nugs, etc. Some back feed. Say a little prayer for usThe BasicsFlick — Deadpool & WolverineSix — Newburgh Boulders BossHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiPanel — Gianna BiolsiToot-length ReviewsRyan Reynolds and Wolverine is an entertaining romp but doesn't hold a candle to the OG 6/10 — AnthonySomehow every Deadpool movie is exactly the same, and yet, completely different. I think that's a good thing. 8/10 — Al
BEERFREST!! Finally it has come and gone. We recap that, plus everything we’re watching, an exciting new trailer, and much more. Give us a thumbs up to let us know you’re OK.The BasicsFlick — The Fall GuySix — Newburgh Aspire BossHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsWhile the stuntman made the movie for his peers, he graciously lets us in on the joke. 7/10 — AnthonyWhat a silly little flick. The best balance of clever and stupid, with a cast willing to laugh at themselves, and the requisite stunts to match the premise. 7/10 — Al
Our first Thunderbolts trailer and a new Mike Schur show. And a third consecutive episode.The BasicsFlick — Civil WarSix — Kane Over Head Imperial IPAHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsA fresh domain with the same DNA, Alex Garland follows his traditional MO: provoke thought. 7.5/10 — AnthonyA dark and sobering look, at a dangerous and thankless job (even if those not receiving thanks are a touch self-important), amidst the unthinkable happening, in a place where “it can’t happen here”. You know, unless we let it happen here. 7.5/10 — Al
Two consecutive episodes?? In this economy? Enjoy it, and we’ll see if we can make it three. Our news of the week include closing the book on another saga: Movie Pass. Plus Mickey 17, Exodus, and more. Listen up you fabulous things.The BasicsFlick — Furiosa: A Mad Max SagaSix — Czig Meister FalconerHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsThanks to the annoying internet I went into Furiosa with low expectations and came out with high praise 7.5/10 — AnthonyI don't think you could outdo Fury Road, and this movie is wise not to try, in structuring this entirely differently than that movie. A cool project in this world, with slightly deceptive marketing, but these movies are meant to have a good time when they're not utterly depressing you. 7.5/10 — Al
A podcast! Very light on news, but what we've been watching and such since last episode, followed by a timely throwback review. Don't say his name too frivolously.The BasicsFlick — BeetlejuiceSix — Charter Oak Candles Out NEIPAHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsBizarrely unique 80s excellence, Beetlejuice is ever the entertaining ride. 8/10 — AnthonyThe quintessential Burton experience? Macabre, funny, musical, and utterly ridiculous. And history shows Burton (Like Lucas and Jackson) should have never left his practical effects for the siren song of CGI. 7.5/10 — Al
Forgive our rustiness after a month of sickness, hijinks, and a late start. We have old news, new news, and Folie a Deuxs. Plus an Acolyte round up and much more. Don't eject on this episode.The BasicsFlick — Godzilla Minus OneSix — Newburgh Litmus Test Farmhouse SourHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length Reviews*If you have expectations for Godzilla Minus 1, abandon them. You couldn’t guess what you’re in for. 7/10 — AnthonySometimes back to basics is all you need, and a focus on character and story doesn't hurt either. 7.5/10 — Al
Massive SGF news, Knives Out 3 casting and production, Severance and Blade, and more. Plus stay tuned after the movie for Acolyte at Night. Don't ruin everything we've built.The BasicsFlick — Madame WebSix — Newburgh Brewing Rhubarb Pie Summer SaisonHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsMadame Web: a tangled mess of missed opportunities and lackluster storytelling. Wooden performances and stale visuals disappoint. 0/10 — AnthonyWorse than Morbius because at least Morbius tried to do a couple unique things and have a couple ideas (horrible ideas, but ideas nonetheless). Why does this movie exist? It's boring bad which is the worst kind. It's not even worthwhile as a CPR training video; The Office did that better too. 3/10 — Al
Another classic older movie! Plus news on Spider-Noir, the Wickverse, LOTR, and more. Don't keep it to yourself.The BasicsFlick — Broadcast NewsSix — Newburgh “I Hate Raisins" Oatmeal CookieHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsCharming and captivating yet devastating and poignant, an excellent example of movie magic. 8/10 — AnthonyA precursor to Sorkin's Newsroom, if the pendulum swung further from the ethics side to the heart side, with a dynamite trio of actors at the height of their powers. 8/10 — Al
Light on news, heavy on consumption, and a particularly strong movie chat this week. Tune in.The BasicsFlick — The Truman ShowSix — District 96 Sleepy JoeHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsThe Truman Show, how charming, devastating, and utterly f$cked. 7/10 — AnthonyExceedingly odd, oddly prescient, and perfectly Jim Carrey. Whether you want to laugh, cry, or crawl out of your skin, no one can tell you you’re wrong. 7.5/10 — Al
Lots of Star Wars news which is fine by us, plus breaking Tarantinews, Alex Garland, and more. The only way to win is to listen.The BasicsFlick — WarGamesSix — Bent Water Sluice JuiceHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsWar Games has its influence in so many properties that I hold near and dear to my heart. Having never seen it before I can confirm it holds up 8/10 — AnthonyA movie so 80’s I can taste the TAB soda through the screen. A solid little suspense flick with a harrowing finale. 7/10 — Al
Trailers galore, a revolting drink, 007 casting rumors, and so much more. Even if you don't technically have a beating heart or soul you should still listen.The BasicsFlick — The CreatorSix — Treehouse JjjuliusssHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsWith the sensibilities of Garland, the style of Blomkamp, and the soul of Cameron, The Creator feels like a passion project created by a seasoned sci-fi movie buff flexing heart and experience over budget. 7/10 — AnthonyA throwback sci-fi action flick with a new school action star, The Creator doesn't redesign the wheel, but it proves you can make a slick cinematic experience without breaking the bank. 6.5/10 — Al
A current(ish) blockbuster as we get back on schedule. This was an event we've been waiting for. Plus Oscars recap, The Batman 2 delayed, and more. Long live the fighters!The BasicsFlick — Dune: Part 2Six — Newburgh Infinity BossHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsDune part 2, Its why you go to the movies. 9/10 — AnthonyA crowning achievement in proving that the right team can, in fact, film the unfilmable, Denis Villeneuve’s inexorable ascent to the top of the game is undeniable. Epic, poignant, and unforgettable, Dune: Part 2 checks all the boxes of: a stand alone movie, bookend to Part 1, and a near perfect baton pass to the (hopefully) inevitable conclusion in Dune Messiah. In short: a masterpiece. 9/10 — Al
Last week's hiatus buster may have been recorded prior to the hiatus kicked off, but we're back with a Mega Oscars preview, plus a big time catch up, and a Dune Part 2 opening night recap. We promise to do more than 10 episodes this yearThe BasicsFlix — The Oscars!Whisk — Balcones Baby BlueHosts — Anthony Costanzo, Alessandro Biolsi, and a terrible accent
First time out on his own as a featured solo guest: it's Mike, our number one fan! We have news on the WGA strike formally, officially ending, Seinfeld rumors, the shockingly undercovered break in the Tupac case, and more! I trust the podcasters.The BasicsFlick — Clerks IIISix — Equilibrium WavelengthHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiPanel — Mike StrnatkoToot-length ReviewsA love letter to family, friends, and self, Clerks III is a wonderfully comedic and nostalgic romp to a bitter sweet finale. 8/10 — AnthonyNostalgia- Noun- a wistful or excessively sentimental yearning for return to or of some past period or irrecoverable condition. This movie is the purest distillation of that word, for better and worse. 6/10 — AlKevin Smith, inspired by real-life events, calls back over and over to the previous superior entries in the trilogy...with less than stellar results. 5.5/10 — Mike
Gary has returned! Blame him (and the threatening email he received from Max) for this episode. Plus the WGA (and SAG-AFTRA) strike ending, Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom trailer, and more. Are we too late?The BasicsFlick — The FlashSix — Lone Pine Oh-JHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiPanel — Gary GureckiToot-length ReviewsThe best the Snyderverse has to offer comes from Andy Muschietti, but for the love of Grodd… let it die. 6/10 — AnthonyOn Friday night I had the option of spending 2-3 hours kicking off my early access to Starfield or watching this movie. I chose… poorly. 4.5/10 — Al
Italy. House. Bats? Baby. Trailers. More. Impossible? Not this missionThe BasicsFlick — Mission: Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part OneSix — Adirondack Bear NakedHosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro BiolsiToot-length ReviewsWhile it stumbles out of the gate with clunky exposition, Dead Reckoning ultimately finds its footing and fabulously sticks the landing. A purely entertaining trip to the cinema. 8/10 — AnthonyImpossible (ha) to fully grade until Part 2 arrives, much in the same way Infinity War was, but a solid and action packed, if long, entry to the canon, with surprising emotional beats. 7/10 — Al
