We are officially in the “golden era” of video game movies, and the new Resident Evil may be the standard by which all other movies in that genre are compared.
Enjoy!
Hard Target
Jean-Claude Van Damme punches a snake.
Enjoy!
The End of Oak Street
I know that everything out there is still all about Spider-Man, but others movies have been released, and this week we are talking about one of the. The End of Oak Street is not a perfect movie, and it may not even be a good movie, but it might be. It really could go either way. I’ve seen the movie, and I am still not sure yet. Anyway…
Enjoy!
Spider-Man: Brand New Day
I hate to spoil anything for you, but if you have ever listened to this show, you know that we are big fans of the recent Spider-Man movies, and Brand New Day is no exception to this. If you don’t like them, maybe skip this episode because we are largely praising the latest entry. If you like listening to Roy and I bicker, you can also listen for that.
Enjoy!
Obsession
If you know Roy, you know he loves a good underdog story, so the fact that Obsession made made over $450,000,000 on a budget less than a million…well he was always going to cheer that on. But hey, it turns out, we both actually really like the movie anyway! I love when we aren’t too old to appreciate what the kids are watching these days!
Enjoy!
The Odyssey
Just like everyone else on the internet, we went and saw The Odyssey last week. If you saw it, and you have some big opinions about how Elliot Page or Lupita Nyong’o shouldn't have been cast in this movie, please fuck all the way off. But if you just want to listen to people talk about a movie, please feel free to stay.
Enjoy!
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man
This week we are heading back to the episodes we recorded in the cabin. This was the start of round 2, and Sean absolutely crushed. If you have never seen Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man do you yourself a favor and watch it with a little information as you can. It is definitely not the movie any of us were expecting.
Enjoy!
Sidekicks
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!
GoldenEye
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!
Project Hail Mary
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!
Inside
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!
A Low Down Dirty Shame
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!
Best Franchises - Part 2
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!
Fantastic Four: First Steps
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!
Superman (2025)
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.
Mission: Impossible- Final Reckoning
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!
Final Destination Bloodlines
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!
Thunderbolts*
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!
Love Hurts
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!
Heart Eyes
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!
