Alright guys, we need to talk about one hundred percent.

For our final fan selection film of the 90th percentile, you guys chose Jordan Peele's Get Out (2017). There's a lot to talk about with such a rich film, so we get into it, folks. Also, we announce something cool at the end of this episode.

We revisit Stanley Kubrick with his iconic satire and black comedy film, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. We also talk the Fast & Furious franchise, Crazy Rich Asians, and VICE!

We're just Christmas boot goofin' in this episode. Happy Holidays!

We made it to 99%! That's wild. L.A. Confidential is Scott's pick, and it's a fine one if I do say so myself.

The Wrestler is a fan favorite (and a Max favorite) was a joy to watch — even though it's an emotional ride. We ham it up in this episode, but honestly get right to business and still manage to discuss a lot of the emotional depth of this film.

This week, we revisit our friend Cameron Crowe as he tells us the story of Lloyd Dobbler and Diane Court. This is Scott's 98% choice — we also announce the 98% poll winner! 
Published 12/04/18
This week we reviewed Scott's choice for Max's 98% selection! This Australian horror film deals with some heavy but personal subjects — and we discuss how Scott almost ralphed.

Guys, we made an error. The Babadook wasn't ACTUALLY Max's pick for this week, but we still watched it. We're embracing this — find out the truth in this week's kind of special episode! 
Published 11/20/18
You guys picked MAD MAX: FURY ROAD as our next review, so here we go! Let's talk about that Doof Warrior some, guys. 
Published 11/13/18
This week, we're joined by our INSIDE GAL Kara Leonard to talk HALLOWEEN (2018). Yeah, Halloween was last week really, but we're doing the film of the same name THIS week. So enjoy!
Published 11/06/18
Max's 97% pick — GHOSTBUSTERS. It's a classic, and it's perfect pick for a comedic approach to horror (hey, it's Halloween, right?). But don't worry — we'll get scarier in an upcoming episode. 
Published 10/30/18
Scott's selection for this week was 2015's SPOTLIGHT, the film about the Boston Globe breaking open the Catholic church covering up abusive priests.  It's a heavy subject, so you'll get most of your chuckles in before the 20 minute mark. 
Published 10/23/18
Hey kid, you wanna carve the Devil's Tower and watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind? No?? Well, at least listen to our latest episode then!
Published 10/16/18
This week we invited our friend Albert Dubreuil (@AWDubreuil) back on the show to talk about a film he loves — Catch Me If You Can!  We also announce the next film we'll be watching that YOU the fans selected.

So the Dark Phoenix trailer came out and boy does it look like a movie! Since we couldn't bring you a full episode, we wanted to give you SOMETHING. You can also check out the video version on youtube.  We'll be back to normal next week! Make sure you vote in the current poll on our website. 
Published 10/02/18
This week, Max picked THE IRON GIANT (1999) as his 96% selection! This animated film is beloved by many, but didn't do that well in theaters. This Brad Bird film actually has some ties with another Bird film we watched — Tomorrowland, but we liked this a lot better.

Join us this week for a special LIVE episode! While we typically do event episodes live, we're changing things up since Hurricane Florence knocked our schedule out of whack! We'll see you all on Thursday, September 20 at 8:15 PM

Our fan vote brings us a film that many love, but not nearly enough people have seen — SNOWPIERCER (2014). Directed by Bong Joon-Ho, this film boasts an international cast and is a unique experience.  We also introduce a new segment on the future fate of the podcast. We call it THE NINETY. 
Published 09/11/18
For our second 95% film, we watched Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth (2006). This was Max's selection, and it was an exciting movie to dive into. There's a lot of depth in this one, boys. 
Published 09/04/18
This week, Scott dropped CREED (2016) on me and I couldn't be happier. We go deep on this one, and while our boxing trivia is terrible, our love for the movie shows. 
Published 08/28/18
As selected by our listeners, we are discussing Arrival (2016). As far as movies about contact with extraterrestrials, this is one of the best ones out there. Great acting, stellar visuals, and a memorable score — and not to mention, its really well written.
