Gozilla X Kong: The New Empire

This week we are discussing another Godzilla movie, Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. We spend too much time trying to figure out how you say the title of the film, and what it means. Opinions are split on this one, but that usually makes for better conversations. We all agree this movie is stupid, but it just depends on which flavor of stupid you like.

Enjoy!

Civil War

This week we are discussing the latest film from Alex Garland, Civil War. It is easy to imagine this country heading to another civil war, and easier to imagine it playing out much like the events of this movies. And yet, Civil War still leaves much left to interpretation, which gives us a chance to throw in our two cents.

Late Night with the Devil

2023 didn’t really feel like a great year for horror, but is this the year to turn that around? Late Night with the Devil could help right the course, but is it as good as the critics would have you believe? And really, how many production companies does it take to make a movie? So many questions, and hopefully we can answer some of them.

Enjoy!

Best of 2023

Look…we know that we are halfway through March already, but sometimes its takes us a little while to get to all the movies we wanted to see from a previous year. That said, we finally feel comfortable giving out our “Best of 2023” lists. Lots of crossover on our lists this year, and you would think that would make the episode considerably shorter, but you would be wrong.

Blind Fury

This week we are finally getting around to one of our Patreon request movies, Blind Fury. We feel kind of bad that it took us this long to get to it, but now that we’ve seen it, we wonder where this movie has been our whole lives. Sorry, Zatoichi, but there is only room for one blind swordsman in our hearts.

Also the poster variations for this movie are bananas!!

Enjoy!

Madame Web and Oscar Bowl Sunday XII

You may have heard rumblings on the internet that Madame Web is not worth your time. And while this movie isn’t very good, there is still a case to be made that it is worth watching, and some of us here at COtR are willing to plead that case. We don’t want you to think that all we do is talk about bad movies, so Roy is also here to give you his recap of “Oscar Bowl Sunday”. Basically, you get two episodes in one this week. What a treat!!

Enjoy!

Argyle

Well, our 400th episode is finally in the books, and it is time to start looking to the next hundred episodes. We are taking the pressure off all those movies by maybe watching the worst one first, Argyle. This movie is awful, and we don’t recommend that you watch it, but if you do, and you want to hear people make fun of it, then welcome to our show.

Enjoy!

American Fiction

This week, on our 399th episode, we are talking about American Fiction. Because we have so much prep to do for our 400th, we will get straight to the point, this movie is fantastic, and you should definitely watch it as soon as you can.

Enjoy!

May December & Dream Scenario

Well, this was supposed to be the last episode of 2023, but instead this is how we are rolling into the new year. What better way to celebrate than a conversation, about two very odd, but well acted movies, May December and Dream Scenario. Just because the acting was solid doesn’t mean we thought each of these movies were great, but neither were a waste of time. We hope that you can say the same for this show.

Enjoy!

Hallmark Christmas Special 2023

This is our fifth year of doing our Hallmark special, and apparently the gods who oversee podcasts didn’t want us to celebrate because they cursed our show and we lost one of our host shortly after we began. We didn’t lose him like he died or something, just some technical issues. Just know that Ryan really wanted to talk about Christmas in the Rockies, but now you will never know how it was. I

n case this is our last episode of 2023, we hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.

Enjoy!

The Fall of the House of Usher

This week we are discussing the latest series from Mike Flanagan, The Fall of the House of Usher. We also play a little catch up on some of the other things we’ve been watching lately. We apologize if we have missed some weeks lately, but the perfect storm of busy work schedules and sicknesses that won’t go away have made it a little bit difficult to record new shows. We promise to try and do better in the new year. Also, we haven’t forgotten about the several episodes that we still owe a few listeners out there. That is also something we hope to correct soon.

Enjoy!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 2 (part 1)

We thought it would take a little longer for Sean to get through the second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but we were pleasantly mistaken. So this week we are talking about the first half of season 2, but don’t worry, you’ll get the second part in the next week or two. That should give you plenty of time to go to Hulu and watch them all.

Enjoy!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 1

For 75% of us, Buffy the Vampire Slayer genre defining television. Sean was the one holdout…until now. Our plan is to record an episode recapping each season as Sean makes his way through, and just get his general thoughts, while also talking about some of our favorite moments and episodes. So in that spirit, this week we are discussing season 1.

Enjoy!

Ranking the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Films

This week we are breaking down our collective ranking of all the films in the TMNT universe. The debate was lively, as we discuss which holds more weight, quality or nostalgia. There isn’t a right answer, but the conversation is still a blast to have.

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part I

Let’s keep it simple, this movie is pretty great. If you haven’t seen it, go watch it before it’s out of theaters, then listen to our episode. If you have seen it, go see it again to help bolster its box office numbers, then listen to our episode. If for some reason you don’t want to see it, you can just listen to our episode.

Enjoy!
