This one has been a long time coming. Sidekicks is one of those movies that I have been in love with for a long time, and I am thrilled that we were able to watch it at the cabin this year. We didn’t know at the time that we would lose Chuck Norris shortly after recording. This was definitely his mountain top.
Enjoy!
This week were are discussing Roy’s first pick from our cabin trip, GoldenEye. This was an episode recorded late at night, so if things break down a little bit, and everyone starts laughing uncontrollably for a minute or so, just know that we were all mostly sober, it had just been a long day.
Enjoy!
If this doesn’t win the “Best Adapted Screenplay” Oscar, it will be their biggest oversight since leaving Jonathan Brandis out of the “In Memoriam”. Don’t mess this up, Academy.
Enjoy!
Well…this selection from Ryan is not of the faint of heart. This French horror film, Inside, is intense, and will likely may you squirm in your seat. At the very least, it will make Roy very uncomfortable, and that is always entertaining. So join us as we bring you another episode from this year’s Cabin Chronicles.
Enjoy!
Cabin Chronicles 4 is in the books, and it was our best one yet. Sean started us off this year with the 1994…err…classic, A Low Down Dirty Shame. Opinions were varied, and hopefully no feelings were hurt, but it was still a good way to kick off the weekend.
Enjoy!
Sorry for the delay, but you know, sometimes…life. Anyway, here is another long episode where we further break down the list of “The Best Franchise of All Time”. The first round was easy, now people’s feelings start getting hurt.
Enjoy!
It has been kind of a tough run for Marvel lately. Nothing really seems to be working out the way they want. Fantastic Four: First Steps kicks off the latest phase in the ever expanding MCU, but that doesn’t mean people will care about it. Does this live up to our Marvel standard? I guess you have to listen…because this is a podcast, and not a newspaper article.
Enjoy!
For well over a decade, we have argued about the quality of the Superman films. The fights about Supes killing Zod in Man of Steel has literally been one of the defining qualities of a couple of us on this show. When another new Superman movie was announced, and it was to be directed by James Gunn, we were torn between optimist and cynicism. Gunn has certainly been a divisive director in the past, but would he continue that trend?
Anyway…here is our Superman (2025) episode.
It took us 30 years to get here, but the Mission: Impossible franchise has finally come to an end…until they soft reboot it in a few years. Our opinions are as varied as the quality of the MI films in general, and while we may not agree about the last entry, we all agree that it’s better than the second one. When you find that kind of common ground, the rest of the stuff is just details.
Enjoy!
Is there anything better than being really, truly surprised by a movie? Could I have imagined a world where Final Destination Bloodlines placed itself in the running for the “Best of 2025” list and also damn near made me cry along the way? No, but here we are. What a surprise.
Enjoy!
We all know that Marvel has had kind of a tough time lately. All of their movies feel like carbon copies of better Marvel movies that came before. Thunderbolts* had the advantage of being full of characters that people don’t really care about that much. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
Enjoy!
No need to mince words, this is one of the worst movies we’ve seen in a long time.
(please know that the “we” mentioned above does not reflect the views of Roy King, who “kinda liked” this movie)
Enjoy!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Here is our episode on the new romantic comedy/slasher horror film, Heart Eyes. What can we say, we love “love” here at COtR, and we wanted to celebrate with something that fit the theme.
Enjoy!
This week we are talking about the new comedy/thriller, Companion. Just in case you don’t know what this movie is about, but still want to see it, we will not talk about any of the plot points in this post. But we did largely enjoy this movie, even if we don’t care for all or one of the actors, and their very punchable face.
Enjoy!
This week is a catchup episode. It has been awhile since we talked about things that are newish, so we are just covering as much as we can in an hour or so. Some things we liked, others not as much. As a little treat for you, we largely agreed this time, which is rare. So at least you don’t have to hear us bicker too much.
Enjoy!
It Is good thing we recorded all these episodes when we were the cabin, that way we have stuff to post when we are all trapped in our houses because of the snow. Hey, speaking of being trapped in a house, this week we are discussing the 2021 thriller, See For Me. It really feels like the perfect time of year to watch this kind of movie, and at a cool 93 minutes, you will still have plenty of time to do whatever else you do when the weather is bad.
Enjoy!
This week is another episode from our trip to the woods, Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. This movie, and the series off which is was based, has a lot of memories for a couple of us, so this episode not only talks about the movie, but what it means to us, and how it shaped much of our humor.
Enjoy!
This week we are talking about two film that help close out the summer of 24, Trap and Alien: Romulus. Many people will say that the best days of M. Night Shyamalan and the Aliens franchise are long in the past, but maybe, just maybe, these two movies can prove those people wrong. Or maybe they are both trash, and we should just live in the past, at least as far as movies go.
Enjoy!
Look…this movie is insanely popular, and will end up making more money than most of the movies in the MCU. That said, we have some differing opinions on Deadpool & Wolverine. We all went into this movie with varying degrees of excitement, and there were most certainly some concerns with how delicately they would address Logan, but we at least all agree it was better than Deadpool 2. So that’s something.
Enjoy!
This week we are talking about the low budget, deconstructed, slasher flick, In a Violent Nature. Our opinions are not perfectly aligned, but we can all agree on one thing…this movie has one of the most creative kills on 2024. So if you like horror, you should check it out, but if you want to stare, mouth agape, at one of the most excessively violent scenes of late, then you should also check out this movie. Either way, you should listen to our episode.
Enjoy!
