This is Reviewable

This week we reviewed Wake Up Dead Man and came away really impressed by how perfectly it balances classic whodunnit fun with high-quality modern filmmaking. We talk about the mystery, and how the superb direction, sharp writing, and tight editing elevate the story beyond a standard genre exercise. If you love clever mysteries, ensemble casts, and films that are as entertaining as they are well crafted, this episode is for you.

This week we rewatched A Few Good Men and dove into why, despite its questionable legal accuracy, it remains one of our all-time favorite films. We break down Aaron Sorkin’s razor-sharp dialogue, the incredible courtroom tension, and the powerhouse performances that make this movie endlessly rewatchable. It may not be a perfect depiction of military law, but it is one of the best-written and most entertaining dramas ever put on screen, and we loved talking through why it still holds up today.

This week we reviewed Frankenstein (2025), Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited take on the classic story: and it did not disappoint. We talk about the film’s stunning visuals, its emotionally rich interpretation of the source material, and how del Toro brings both beauty and tragedy to every frame. Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi deliver standout performances that elevate the film’s exploration of creation, responsibility, and humanity. A bold, haunting, and gorgeously crafted adaptation that gave us a lot to dig into.

This week we watched "One Battle After Another" and with a rare new film from Paul Thomas Anderson, the excitement was definitely high. Braden was thrilled just to see PTA behind the camera again, while Micah wasn’t impressed by the opening and felt it dragged the rest of the movie down. We break down where we feel the film struggles, where it's still great, and what (if anything) it’s actually trying to say politically. From expectations to execution, we dig into the filmmaking, the messaging, and whether this one earns all the buzz.

In this episode, we review A24’s Warfare (2025) from Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza: a brutally grounded and emotionally honest war film that refuses to glorify combat. We talk about the movie’s raw realism, its courage in showing soldiers as real people rather than indestructible heroes, and how its chaotic, unromantic vision of modern warfare makes it one of the most memorable films of the year. At the end of the day, Warfare is a portrait of war as a total mess, a place where everyone just wants to make it home alive.
