Well, here goes nothing. Zach and Amanda are back to reluctantly discuss the 2007 "movie" Because I Said So. There are so many things to discuss about this film. Not really any of them are super positive either. We apologize in advance, but enjoy anyways!!

Who wants some blueberry pie?! Amanda and Zach are discussing the 2024 psychological thriller Heretic. Wonderful performances drive this theological horror film in all of it's confusing glory. Does a heavy dialogue filled movie work for you? Some may think it is a deterrent.

We go all the way back to the 70's with the ph so handsome Robert Reford as he explores the corruption within the CIA. The 1975 spy thriller Three Days of the Condor has all the normal beats of an espionage film, yet there is so much more. At the same time, this movie misses the mark on some pretty important stuff. How could it be better?

All's fair in love and basketball. Zach and Amanda sit down to discuss the 2000's romantic melodrama Love & Basketball. A sexy, funny, culturally loved film from the early millennium, this movie stands the test of time. But can it appease every viewer? Is it missing anything? Why do sports films work so well yet others fail hard?

We are keeping it straight up 90's as Zach and Amanda dive into the world of legal thrillers. This week, we focus on The Firm, from 1993. This legal procedural film lacks court room drama, yet finds ways to make it more interesting than you could even imagine. In a busy time of Grisham adaptations, does this film reign supreme?

Forever young. We all wanna be forever young, right? Amanda and Zach talk all things creepy, funny, and nonsensical as they discuss the 1992 dark comedy Death Becomes Her. Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn absolutely crush it in this film. But is that enough to strengthen it's ambiguous message and theme?

What if you could commit a crime with a perfect plan? Linda Fiorentino shows us exactly how in the 1994 erotic thriller The Last Seduction. A tale of twists and turns gets sexy yet dangerous as this neo-noir unfolds. This movie has a pretty strong audience score. Zach and Amanda discuss why this may be, with questioning perhaps why that may have been a bit too over zealous.

How far would you go for a better life? Matt Damon asks that question in the 1999 film The Talented Mr. Ripley. Many people absolutely adore this thriller, but Zach questions why it is such a hit. All is good; Amanda will convince him otherwise.

We continue our Francis Ford Coppola month by exploring his very "first" film, Dementia 13. This is labeled as a Horror/Suspense film, but maybe it is something more. Or, maybe it is just pure rubbish. Join Amanda and Zach as they discuss this experience of a film.

It's 2025 and we decided to kick things off with a Francis Ford Coppola month. And what better way to start than by breaking down the once widely disregarded Dracula adaptation from 1992, Bram Stoker's Dracula. Aside from the atrocious Keanu Reeves British accent, this movie has a lot to talk about. Did Co

Ho ho ho. We continue our "Tops and Bottoms December" by discussing another stinker of a film, 2007's Fred Claus. A slapstick comedy about Santa Claus' un-extraordinary and bitter older brother, this movie has some major hiccups. Amanda wasn't a huge fan, but Zach does make some compelling points. Anyways, check it out!

Ho ho ho. We continue our "Tops and Bottoms December" by focusing on a....well...a "film" that makes some interesting choices. Disclaimer: this one was rough. Amanda and Zach sat and reviewed the LOWEST rated Christmas movie (according to Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB) Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas. Even though the movie was rough, we both had a ton to say.
