What Movie Should We Do Next?

We put Evil Dead Burn to the test with a five-category scoring system, then argue over whether its violence feels like classic Evil Dead chaos or a clumsy attempt at a message. The conversation spirals into Deadite personalities, practical effects vs CGI, and why “send them to the mirror realm” might be the cleanest relationship advice we accidentally give.

3/5
• quick toast-driven intro plus listener shoutouts and pre-movie banter
• spoiler-filled plot recap focused on the funeral setup and Deadite spread
• acting breakdown with a clear standout Deadite performance
• cinematography talk on memorable gross-out shots plus CGI shortcuts and shaky geography
• score reactions that focus on franchise sound cues over a memorable theme
• plot and structure criticism including missing payoffs and unfinished beats
• golden path take on comedy choices and why likable characters matter in horror
• debate on spousal abuse themes and why the metaphor feels muddy
• demon cosmology talk on mirrors, suffering, and cosmic order vs randomness
• we insert ourselves into the film and pitch alternate arcs

We review Sheep Detective with our three-part method, then use a talking-sheep murder mystery to get weirdly personal about memory, grief, and what we choose to carry. The jokes land, the whiskey shows up, and the “golden path” turns a simple family film into a sharp rant about algorithm-fed reality.
• our mind-altering setup with propranolol and bourbon
• quick plot rundown: sheep gain agency, farmer dies, mystery begins
• category ratings for acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability
• why the movie works as a kid-friendly bridge to death and loss
• missed opportunities with forgetting and the unreliable narrator angle
• the “golden path” on trauma, empathy, and the comfort of pain
• media silos, TikTok-fed opinions, and how platforms shape beliefs
• inserting ourselves into the story with alternate characters and darker stakes
• closing spiral on insurance incentives and daily-life absurdity

3/5.

We rate Supergirl across acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability, then land on why the movie feels like a stack of missed chances instead of a character-driven breakout. We also call out how misogyny poisons the conversation while still insisting the writing has to earn its moral message.
• our three-part review method and what we are taking beforehand
• budget and marketing shock compared with what lands onscreen
• the plot setup with Kara, Ruthie, Krypto’s 72-hour timer, and Lobo
• acting takes on Millie Alcock, Jason Momoa, and the side cast
• cinematography highs including the intergalactic bus and truck stop
• score choices that either fit the character or break immersion
• plot problems with the ticking clock and a thin villain motivation
• the culture war problem and why it muddies real film criticism
• world building lessons from The Fifth Element and Chekhov’s gun limits
• the revenge morality that collapses under its own logic
• how we would rewrite Supergirl around trauma, therapy, and consequences
Listen to all our other stuff too. Yeah, just go down the list.

2.5/5

We rewatch The Princess Bride as adults and rate it across acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability, then argue our way to a definitive 4.5 out of 5.

• Our three-part method for reviewing a movie while drinking
• Quick plot recap and why the framing device works
• Acting highs and lows from Elwes to Shawn to Andre
• Cinematography that feels like a storybook on purpose
• Mark Knopfler’s score and why it sticks
• Plot twists, quotable dialogue, and why it never feels old
• Rewatchability as the real “classic” metric
• Westley’s harsh lines and how to read them now
• Earnestness, low budgets, and the kind of craft money cannot buy
• Dropping ourselves into the film and turning it into a background gag

We start with a raw riff on public hypocrisy and private repression, then pivot into a full Masters of the Universe review that lands at a definitive 2.5 out of 5. We argue about what camp is supposed to do, why the soundtrack either rules or derails the tone, and how “hope core” hero stories can still matter even when the plot is paper thin.
• Cold open on politics, spectacle, and hypocrisy
• Our three-part method: ratings, deeper meaning, then inserting ourselves into the film
• Plot recap: Adam flees Eternia, lands in America, returns with the sword
• Acting takes, including standout moments and character choices
• Cinematography and CGI that look solid but sometimes feel empty
• Score and soundtrack debate: recognizability vs distraction
• Plot critique: archetypes, predictable beats, pacing drag
• Rewatchability split: vibe and nostalgia vs boredom
• “Golden path” themes: hope core, empathy, reframing masculinity
• Camp as a tool, and how big budgets change it
• Inserting ourselves into the story for a chaotic rewrite

We watch Netflix’s Ladies First and give it our locked-in star ratings before we get honest about what the movie tries to say about feminism. We talk through why the gender swap premise feels shallow, why the lesson comes too easy, and what a smarter version of the story could have been.

• what everyone’s drinking and how the vibe hits
• plot recap of Damien’s head injury role reversal
• our category ratings for acting, cinematography, sound, plot, and rewatchability

• how the movie flattens microaggressions into throwaway jokes
• what a matriarchal world would actually need to explore
• our “insert ourselves” segment and the rewrites we’d rather watch

We review Obsession (2026) while drunk and caffeinated, score it category by category, and admit it left us disturbed long after the credits.

• Our three-part review method plus what we are drinking
• Plot recap of the One Wish Willow and the obsession spiral
• Trigger warning and why the film is a hard watch

We’re running on fumes, so we caffeinate and pour a drink while we take a hard look at We Bury the Dead. We land on a 3/5, praise the acting and visuals, then dig into the grief metaphor that nearly sticks the landing before the ending sends us into a rant spiral.
• our quick spoiler synopsis and the three-part review format
• Daisy Ridley’s performance and why the cast sells the emotional beats
• cinematography highlights including background staging and zombie reveals
• soundtrack choices that sometimes fit and sometimes jar
• plot gaps, vanishing characters, and why the ending matters most

• what we would do in the dead zone, from tapping out to looting
If you argue with us, then uh then you need to come on the program.
