Spike Jonze). Starring: John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, Catherine Keener, and if yoooouuuuu ccaaannn beeellliiieeevvveee it JOHN MALKOVICH.

Send us a text Guest co-host Ben "Burrito" Burris joins his bro (not-identical) "regular” co-host Paul for a thorough examination of "Twins” (d. Reitman 1988). Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, and Kelly Preston. Is it possible for a PG rated comedy to be one of the horniest, busiest, raunchiest, rootenest, tootenest, and glutenest movies in the history of The Review Review?! That stuff, and all you need to know about repetitive jokes, and "twinsense," 11/11! ****A member of the ...
Send us a text Well, it's the end of Spooky Season, and what better way to do it than with a "You Choose the Review," poll episode? And what better movie, than a bit of every horror movie/trope/sub-genre "Cabin in the Woods?!" (2011 d. Drew Goddard) Answer: there is no better way. Starring: Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, and Fran Kranz. Sawfaces, Scorpion Robots, Mermen, and Mutant Redneck Zombie Buckners OOOOOO MY.

Send us a text Our good chum Chris Olds buzzes back in with “The Fly” (1985 d. Cronenberg) Starring: Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis, and John Getz. This movie has a baboon. A real baboon. You can’t really train a baboon to act. It’s a wild f***ing animal. It will rip your face off. Have yourself a good laugh at this delightful Mel Brooks produced romp. 10/21! ****A member of the “Review Review,” family is in the fight of her life, you can help! - TAP/CLICK HERE More With Chris Olds: Season 1 - "R...
Send us a text Stimson Snead (Tim Travers and the Time Travelers Paradox) has returned to talk about BEN'S CHOICE(?!) for Spooky Season “Dawn of the Dead” (2004 d. Zack Snyder) Starring: Sarah Polley, Jake Weber, and Ving Rhames. Line up early for the mall opening, cause it's limited capacity, and everything is on sale...FOR FREE! We wax on about the ouvrè of Snyder, have some back and fourth about the importance (or unimportance) of social commentary in horror films, consumerism, and much mu...
Send us a text It's The Review Review RAPID FIRE for Spooky Season! Our returning guest, Kimbo, joins Paul for a short stay in the studio for "Poltergeist," (d. Hooper ((?)) 1982). In our most questionably rated adventure since "Earth Girls Are Easy," we attempt to invoke the spirits of the MPAA to explain their logic in the PGness of this film. Can armchair Quarterback parents be more effective than ACTUAL parents? And of course, that f*****g clown. Go into the light 10/6! More Kimbo:&...
Send us a text Jono Matt is BACK to get us going for our annual “Spooky Season,” here on the program! We’re getting it started with our lust for discussing his choice “SE7EN,” (d. Fincher 1995) Starring: Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, and Gwyneth Paltrow. At times we have a lot of pride in our loud opinions of this movie, at others we become gluttons for information. You may yourself envying the fun we have in this deep dive on the Andrew Kevin Walker written thriller, and greedy for even m...
Send us a text BLORPT! Returning guest Mellinda Hensley arrives at The Review Review drive-thru window with her choice “Good Burger” (d. Robbins 1997). In this episode, we ask that eternally unanswerable GLOOOOP! question, “Welcome to Good Burger... home...of the Good Burger....Can I take your orrrr” 💥 No. No you may not. GAK! Also everyone is fired. Also the building is condemned. That was actually really easy. Lesson learned. KERSPLOOOSHIGHK! And isn’t learning lessons the most important th...

De Bont 1994). Starring: Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, and Dennis Hopper. Outside of realllllly wanting to see your commitment to Sparkle Motion®️, all we have ever wanted to make you do is jump jump. Review Review wanna make you jump jump. Our SPEED episode will make you jump jump, and we are damn ...
Send us a text Our neighbor, Guest: Eric Driscoll (Mr. D Likes Movies), from the Yada Yada Podcast barges through the door with his choice “Maximum Overdrive” (d. King 1986). Starring: Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, and Laura Harrington. In a movie with the most confusing rules on the pod since “Gremlins,” we spend this entire episode questioning the motivations, the hows, the whens, the whys, that this movie asks us all. Forgive the ad. It's a bit Over the Top. 8/19! More Podcast Hosts: Season ...
Send us a text In our most demure and mindful episode to date, Guest: Sam Bullington checks in for a stay at “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” (2014 d. Anderson / Writings - Zweig) by way of a Review Review. Starring: Ralph Finnes, F. Murray Abraham, and Adrien Brody. This episode gets almost as charming as this clearly (that’s Willem Dafoe) Wes Anderson film, until Corporate Overlord Gerrah Joees comes in to make us talk football, for no compensation. And we talk what he tells us to talk. Cause, “...
Send us a text “Meat Loaf Month,” goes furiously forward into “Fight Club,” (1999 d.Fincher book - Palahniuk) with our guest, Aaron Goodman - LMT (Licensed Massage Therapist). Baby, we hear the blues a callin’, but we’re gonna keep on dancin’ at the paper st. pink soapy club. And don’t worry, there’s plenty of tossed salads and scrambled eggs for everyone with metaphors, dated references, confusing lines, and of course, lessons in airplane etiquette. What is a boy(s) to do?! 7/22! More Finche...
Send us a text It's a bird! It's a plane! No! It's a NEW NEW REVIEW REVIEW with Guest Cohost Moses Olson, that was edited faster than a speeding locomotive, to wrap up our "Swingin' Seventies Summer Series," with 'Superman: The Movie,' (D. Donner 1978) and "Superman (5uperman)" (d. Gunn 2025). And don't worry, as we have "Brainiac" Ben join to join in on the discourse via the remote from his fortress of solitude to....I have been editing for hours, I can't keep this up right now. Enjoy! 7/13!...
Send us a text Writer, Director, Producer, Actor, and guest Keiko Green returns for "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," (1975 d. Sharman). Starring: Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick. We approach the castle lair of Dr. Frank-N-Furter ready to party, for what has to be one of the Dr.'s most jovial, and moist affairs (except Rocky). The spills, the chills, the bumps, the lumps! It's alllllll here, and includes many tapestries! 7/8! More With Keiko: Season 1 - "Earth Girls Are Easy" Mor...
Send us a text For this very special BIRTHDAY EDITION of "You Choose the Review," for "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade," (d. Spielberg 1989) Ben's invited the most excellent Damian Peterson to the party, and he's got a two day head start on recording, which is more than he needs. Damian's got friends on audio and video podcasts from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again...or at all, cause it's an audi...
Send us a text Smoke 'em if you got 'em, cause you're in for "The Long Goodbye," (1973 d. Altman). Starring: Elliott Gould, Nina van Pallandt, and Sterling Hayden. Joining is our guest, very cool Director, Matthew Palmer (Instagram). In this edition, we go deep into the annals of "Philip Marlowe," films and novels. What was the actual plan (if one existed) for Roger Wade? Just how much of this movie is in "Lebowski," and others, Lebowski? We don't know either, but clearly, you are not a golfe...
Send us a text Our first RAPID FIRE fast (? Er!) episode is a ‘Holiday Helping,’ of/for “Friday the 13th,” (d. Cunningham 1980) with Guest Co-Host Rachael Fosket (Her?)! Starring: Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King, and Kevin Bacon. We say, "Happy Birthday, Jason!(?)” That's just one of the many things we debate in this special episode, on a special day, for Mother's special boy. More Slashers: Season 1 - "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (2010) More Existential: Season 1 - "Defending Your Life" **A...
Send us a text We begin our Stinky Sexy Slimy Seventies Summer with a SHOT! Ben draws first with his choice ”Blazing Saddles" (1974 d. Mel Brooks). Starring: Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, and Mel Brooks. This is a big one, so rather than bore you with more reading, hit the play button and get to listening! Oh, and for the duration, please refer to us as "The Brooks Brothers," or "srehtorb skoorb eht," if you prefer. 6/10! More Comedy: Season 1 - "Charade" Season 2 - "What We Do In ...
Send us a text Ben had to bounce (he just didn’t have the time), so Guest Host Katie Hampton (@elsassypants) bounds in with her choice “Big Trouble,” (in larger Miami. D. Sonnenfeld 2002…technically). We heartily chuckle through the Tim Allen school of acting, lack of plot, uuummm world events, and more in this episode that will have you wishing Paul were Ben more than ever! Get ready for a load of the toad (lots of Paul) on 5/27! More Crazy Characters: Season 1 - "The Fifth Element" **All ep...
Send us a text Do your stretching, and get limber. In this edition we get our hustle on with returning guest Moses Olson (@whollymoses), for his choice “Kung Fu Hustle.” (2004 d. Chow). Starring: Stephen Chow, Yuen Qiu, and Yuen Wah. We go from existential metaphor to existential metaphor, in this homage laden kung fu genre/cinema masterpiece (?). An episode with speed, with reliability, and edited/operated by a man who was sent here by the devil! MONO...D'oh! Let's huuuuuustleeee! 5/13! More...
