Family Movie Night

This week we dive into Heretic, the movie that proves being polite to strangers at the door is basically a death sentence. We’re talking ominous monologues, suspicious snacks, and the biggest thing to happen to basements since Barbarian. So grab your Radiohead vinyl (or whatever iteration you prefer) and enjoy!

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica Massace - a period in the Bosnian War where over 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed and dumped into mass graves.

Join us for a conversation that still remains relevant 30 years later.

The title of this movie is a mouthful, so we came up with some alternates: "If Art School was a Movie", "Like Monty Python, but Without the Punchline", "Cinematic Ambien", "If Liver Pâté were a Movie" and "Sketch Comedy for Depressed People". I hope you join us as we explore "A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence", but you probably won't because we are the only 3 people who have seen it.

Today we're discussing The Master, which is not about golf championships, powerpoint templates, or advanced degrees. P. T. Anderson's MASTERpiece (god i'm so sorry) manages to outsmart us with a man that drinks film developer. Join us as we learn absolutely nothing about carrier pigeons.

Indescribable! Indestructible! Nothing can stop it! This week we discuss James Gunn’s homage to schlocky B-horror movies, Slither. We’ll discuss whether we are pro- or anti- boscis, how many of ‘them things’ are needed, and who knows - maybe we’ll do some shadow work along the way.

This episode wasn't late. And if it was, it wasn't that late. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it. Enjoy!

It's a kid episode! Prepare your sweet tooth and join us and our children as we dissect the anti-child cinematic universe of Willy Wonka.
