Episode 362: The Crew’s entering the suck zone while watching Jan de Bont’s Twister. Director de Bont capitalized on the successful Speed with this effects driven summer blockbuster.

Episode 361: The Crew’s noticing all the tape on the gadget while watching Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. This hit biopic breezes by at an incredible 3 hour runtime (even if half of us disagree).

And buy this absolutely amazing soundtrack.

Episode 360: The Crew’s watching Greta Gerwig’s Barbie in their Mojo Dojo Casa House! This box office juggernaut, based on a toy, is surprisingly great and has something to say. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are fabulous as Stereotypical Barbie and Beach Ken! The Crew discusses…

Episode 359: The Crew’s wishing they could get a free apartment in Paris while watching Sydney Pollack’s Sabrina. This remake of Billy Wilder’s film is updated for the 90’s but much of the plot stays intact. Julia Ormond steals the film as the titular character. The Crew discusses…

Episode 358: The Crew’s struggling with all the CGI in James Mangold’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Spielberg and Lucas are only producing this outing, and you can feel it. The magic is missing. Everything looks fake and cheap. The artifact/MacGuffin feels great, and fits into the franchise nicely. The Crew discusses…

Episode 357: The Crew’s trying on a $6,000 dress while watching Mike Nichols’ Working Girl. Melanie Griffith is excellent in a star-making performance as the titular Working Girl.

Episode 356: The Crew’s searching every kind of house while watching Andrew Davis’ The Fugitive. This big screen adaptation of the 60’s tv show was a surprise box office hit in 1993. The film was nominated for Best Picture and Tommy Lee Jones won a Supporting Actor Oscar. Everything is pretty perfect in this film, but the editing really stands out. All the montages, cutting between Ford and the US Marshalls, are incredible to watch. The Crew is joined by Writer/Director Brandon Russell. The Crew discusses…
