Masters of the Universe (2026)

This week we are talking about the new Masters of the Universe movie. If you’re thinking to yourself “ Wait, there’s a new He-Man movie?!”, well you apparently weren’t the only one. This one had us divided, but if you actually watch this movie, and have any kind of opinion at all, then you are likely to agree with one of us. And that’s not nothing.

Enjoy!

Disclosure Day

It’s Spielberg showing that he still has some gas left in the tank. Is Disclosure Day a perfect movie? No, but it its still one of his strongest outings in two decades. Plus, John Williams, in defiance of God and time, is still out there making great scores.

Enjoy!

This week we are talking about the new horror film, Primate. This was kind of a last minute episode that we recorded in the parking lot of our local AMC, and while microphones were brought, the screens that go over them were not. We are left with a pretty bad sounding show, but we are still posting it, warts and all.

Enjoy!

Jaws 50th Anniversary

Yes, I am well aware that we have already done two episodes about Jaws, but in the dying embers of summer 2025, we thought we would once again record on the absolute best summer movie, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws.

Sinners

This is a movie that I cannot get out of my head. The way it was shot, the music, the acting, the message…absolutely amazing. I care more about you going to see this movie than I do you listening to this podcast, but if you also enjoyed Sinners, and want to listen to us gush about how much we liked it, we will be here.

Enjoy!

Best of 2024

Best of 2024

It is that time of year again, a season when we inevitably spend way too much time engaging in discussions about all the movies we loved from the year before. This year, however, we kind of felt like there weren’t as many standout moments or experiences to love, perhaps just a handful of things to like. Even with that sentiment in mind, we still had an absolute blast getting extra long-winded in our conversations and reflections.

Venom: The Last Dance

This week we are talking about the third entry in the Venom franchise, Venom: The Last Dance. Is Venom in this movie? Yes. Is there Dancing in the movie? Also yes. Is this the last one of these we will have to watch? For the love of god, we certainly hope so. So sit back and relax as we talk about why this movie is not very good.

Child's Play 2

Here is another episode from our cabin trip. This week we are discussing one of Ryan’s favorite entries in what he believe is one of the stronger horror franchises, Child’s Play 2. And in case you’re wondering, this movie was infinitely better than White Chicks.

Enjoy!

VHYes

Another movie from this year’s Cabin Chronicles. This time we are watching VHYes. It is hard to describe what this movie is, maybe a little bit Kentucky Fried Movie, but maybe also a little horror. Maybe it’s not very good, but maybe it is actually okay. It is hard to put your finger on this one, so maybe it is worth watching, just so you can see, but maybe it’s not.

Enjoy!

White Chicks

This year we kicked off our cabin trip with the oft talked about, but never seen movie, White Chicks. It was exactly as bad as we feared it would be, but a deal is a deal, and since someone left us money on the nightstand, we were obligated to watch this comedy? Horror? Science Fiction? It is really hard to tell what kind of genre this fits into, since it is every bit as disturbing and upsetting as say a Requiem for a Dream, and it shares a same star. Neat.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

This week we are talking about a movies that seemed like had been in development for the last 25 years, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Tim Burton has been a very divisive director on this podcast in the past, but maybe this return to a class idea would inspire greatness in the once unique director. Or maybe we hated it. Or maybe it was fine. So many ways this could go.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
Coming Off the Reels

Full disclosure, the Beverly Hills Cop franchise does not carry the same weight that many of the other franchises do from this era of film, so when Netflix announced that they were making a fourth installment after a 30 year break, we were not exactly over the moon. We went into Axel F with pretty modest expectations, so we thought surely that could at least meet them. Netflix doesn’t have a great track record in the past, but could this be the one to finally feel like an actual movie, instead of a straight to streaming release? We reveal our feelings pretty quickly this week, so just give it a listen.

Maxxxine

Ti West was always going to have a tough time living up to the hype after giving us two of the best horror films in recent memory with X and Pearl. Maxxxine looked like it had the chance to exceed all expectations, but could it stick the landing, or did Ti West do what Ti West does, and focus on style over substance? Obviously we will give you our take, but that doesn’t mean it’s correct.

The Watchers

The Watchers

This week we are talking about the thoroughly mediocre horror film, The Watchers. We didn’t want you to go into this one not knowing if we liked it or not. While there are some okay parts, there are not enough to justify this being a feature length horror film. Just know going into this episode that we are going to be making fun of a lot of it.

Enjoy!
