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!
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.
Enjoy!
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!
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!
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!
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!
This we are discussing the latest movie from Zack Snyder, Rebel Moon. We are aware that the title is longer than that, but really who has that kind of time. Is it possible that this was secretly part of a documentary where Snyder pitches the plot of a well loved movie to Netflix just to see what would happen? We really hope so, that would at least be entertaining to watch.
Enjoy!
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!
This we are discussing the films of John Carney. Mostly his latest outing, Flora & Son, but also our quick ranking of his other offerings. Historically, Carney’s films have been well loved on COTR, so you’ll just have to listen to hear if this film is another feather in his cap, or just another straight to streaming movie.
Enjoy!
This week we are talking about the new sequel to a rebooted franchise, Evil Dead Rise. We were all a little let dead by the first one, but we were holding out hope that the new would could surprise us a little. Ther’re a lots of opinions, both high and low, but you’ll just have to listen to see where we came down on the movie as a whole.
Enjoy!
The time may finally be upon us where we are just getting a little too exhausted by all the comic book movies. Is it that it is all too much, or has the quality of the content just been getting worse and worse. Could be a little but of column A and a bit of column B. Still, that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to watch what comes out and record about it for you, our dear dear friends.
Enjoy!
This week we are talking about the new movie, Cocaine Bear. This movie, “inspired” by real events, has already become a bonafide hit, but is it good, or just a story so bizarre that people had to see what it was all about? You know we don’t always agree, so I guess you should listen to see where we land.
Enjoy!
Another year of movies in the book and another episode where we reflect on what we thought were the best movies of 2022. We know that everyone won’t agree with us, we rarely completely agree with each other, but between the four of us, there us surely some common ground out there. Plus there were some legitimate surprises this year, and that’s always entertaining.
Enjoy!
This week we head back to the woods with one of the films we watch during the Cabin Chronicles. We use the word “film" because “movie” just doesn’t seem to carry the same weight, especially when speaking about Airheads. It was pretty apparent early on that Brendan Fraser was destined to be nominated for an Oscar, and while we are happy for his recognition in The Whale, some might say this was an even more powerful performance.
Enjoy!
Here is another fine episode from the “Cabin Chronicles” series. While Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan isn’t a ver good movie, the episode that movie spawned is pretty solid. Plus it was late, and we were all a little loopy, so you know that helps. Maybe next time we will let people outside the show pick all the movies.
Enjoy!
This week is another Patreon request episode, as we delve into Phantom Thread. We also decided act on some of your criticisms, mainly the one where you’d like to hear us less, and we brought on a special guest. So now you will all be even more aware of how stupid we are, as it a far more apparent when we add a smart person to the mix. So sit back as we discuss one of the most beautifully quiet movies, toxically fascinating, and childishly wonderful movies there is.
Enjoy!
This week we discuss the diminishing returns in Jurassic World: Dominion. It is not a spoiler that this newer series of dino flicks still feels like a vague shadow of the original Jurassic Park, but can this latest outing manage to capture a little bit of the old magic by bringing back some of out original favorites, or was this just more pandering and fan service? Maybe a little bit of both? Maybe the producers and studio execs were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
Enjoy!
Many of us went into the viewing of Morbius with a pretty positive attitude, but when we found out that it wasn’t really “Morbin Time”, our attitudes quickly shifted. There is still a spectrum of opinions from us, but even the highest praises we could offer were still pretty pathetic. So maybe if the bar is impossibly low, you could have a really good time watching Morbius.
Jared Leto is garbage.
Enjoy!
This week we are watching a film requested by one of our Patreon subscribers. The selection they went with was the 2014 film, The Voices. Our opinions vary wildly, but we all agree that it was nice seeing Ryan Reynolds when he was still flexing his acting muscles, and not just acting like some version of Deadpool.

Happy Star Wars Day! To celebrate, we took a break from movie talk, and instead, we dedicated an entire episode to Star Wars: The Clone Wars. We also thought we bring in someone who could speak on this series with a little more authority, Dan Kaufman! That’s kind of a big deal, so please show your gratitude by telling all your friends about the show…maybe your friend’s friends…maybe tell them all to sign up for our Patreon. Just an idea.
Enjoy!
