We were on top of the world, but plummeted to rock bottom in Gotham city. In this episode we're talking all about the newest addition to the DCU and what it could mean for the franchise moving forward. We get into the stark contrast to the rest of the DCU's tone and how that might cause problems when things come together, the beauty of how they setup this character and how they can turn him into a full villain, when we mistook his powers for super speed, and much more! Ultimately, this movie was a good time so I gotta ask, why the long face?00:00 – Welcome to Clayface!02:24 – General Thoughts: Did DC Deliver?16:13 – Family Meeting: What’s Next for DC?25:56 – Family Meeting: Reddit Reacts to Clayface35:55 – Deep Dive: Spoilers Ahead!48:16 – Did She Actually Love Him?1:06:34 – When Clayface Goes Too Far1:16:50 – The Filmmies: Who's Taking Home the Awards?1:43:49 – Final Thoughts

This ones for the gamers. This classic game is coming to life on the big screen with all the characters we know and love. This movie is full of life with the colours, costumes, and signature moves, but is it too much for one movie? We also get into which story elements worked and which didn't and the unexpected style switch up that is magically spread out in the film. Finishing of course with our Filmmies, this is a fun one on a fun movie so select your character, get in here, and FIGHT!00:00 – Welcome to Street Fighter00:55 – General Thoughts10:09 – Family Meeting: Reddit & Instagram Reactions21:26 – Deep Dive: Spoilers Begin23:11 – Too Much Story, Not Enough Fighting?30:50 – What Happened to the Tournament?43:26 – The Fights, Pacing & Ending54:52 – Street Fighter: Two Truths and a Lie1:01:08 – The Filmmies1:20:52 – MVP & Final Thoughts

This week we’re talking about The Social Reckoning, the follow-up to The Social Network.We get into whether this movie needed to exist, how much David Fincher’s absence is felt, what worked in the second half, and why parts of the movie felt more like a presentation than a story. We also talk about the Facebook/Meta angle, the “show, don’t tell” problem, Bill Burr bringing some much-needed energy, and whether we actually liked the movie by the end of the conversation.00:00 – Welcome to The Social Reckoning01:10 – General Thoughts13:21 – Family Meeting27:01 – Deep Dive Begins31:00 – The Opening Scene and the Movie’s Tone32:53 – Francis, Jeff, and the Show-Don’t-Tell Problem48:04 – Did We Actually Like This Movie?58:35 – Facebook, Free Speech, and the Bigger Message01:11:01 – The Filmmies01:23:47 – Best Scene, MVP, and Final ThoughtsTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.film.room.podInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefilmroompod/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFilmRoomPodSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/51C3RqxhElYCUyJ0zMVhnO

Digger is one of those movies where you finish watching and immediately want to ask someone, “Okay… what did you think of that?” In this episode, we get into why this movie is so hard to explain, why the reactions have been all over the place, and Tom Cruise not being the action movie guy. We talk about the weird comedy, the big swing the movie takes, the twist that changed how we saw everything, and why we ended up liking it way more than we expected. Is Digger brilliant, ridiculous, or both?00:00 — Welcome to The Film Room01:16 — General Thoughts on Digger06:36 — Spoiler-Free Warning: Go Watch This First10:24 — Family Meeting: What Kind of Tom Cruise Do We Love?16:28 — Spoilers Begin: Why Is Digger So Divisive?24:03 — The Big Twist and Why the Weirdness Starts Making Sense35:07 — What’s Real, What’s Fake, and What’s Going On Outside?43:38 — Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed, and the Big Public Hearing Scene52:20 — How Do You Even Market a Movie Like This?1:04:00 — The Final Act and Leaving the Theater Thinking1:08:40 — The Filmmies Awards1:40:07 — Final Thoughts: Five Shovels for Digger Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.film.room.podInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefilmroompod/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFilmRoomPod

Why don't you have a seat right there and take a listen to this episode all about the newest film starring Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen. This genre bending piece from Lance Oppenheim takes the real life events of the very weird phenomenon of "To Catch a Predator" and brings some chilling dramatic aspects to it. This movie takes a big swing on its visuals, storytelling, and subject matter which leads to a split in our opinions. We get into those differing opinions and why things worked or didn't, Skylar Gisondo's surprising performance, what song the first creep actually should've been playing in the car, and much more! Tune in for a great episode because you're already here, we've got you on camera, and you see how this looks, right?00:00 – Welcome to Primetime01:04 – General Thoughts08:14 – Family Meeting: To Catch a Predator18:15 – Spoilers: The Tone Gets Weird25:23 – Decoy Dan Steals the Movie31:03 – Producers, Decoys & The Ratings Machine37:41 – Fergie, Subway & The Wild Details43:07 – The Whale and the Final Sting51:07 – The Filmmies57:45 – Sixth Man, Best Quote & Best Scene01:11:33 – MVP and Final Thoughts01:18:34 – Final Send-Off
