"SPEED" (1994)

For some reason I've really been hammering it home with these 90s movies lately, it's just so fun to revisit movies I haven't seen in so long. This one is intense, Keanu is excellent in his second big-budget action flick after "Point Break". Well worth going back to.

"FREE WILLY" (1993)

I go back to yet another movie I hadn't seen since closer to 1993 when it premiered. This one tells the tale of a killer whale kept in captivity and the troubled young kid who bonds with the whale and goes to great lengths to save it.

"COOL RUNNINGS" (1993)

I revisit the 1993 "true" story about a team of bobsledders from Jamaica who defied all odds to compete in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, it had been decades since I last saw it.

2007'S "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" IS THE PARODY WE DIDN'T KNOW WE NEEDED

On this episode, I cover a flick that was not particularly popular upon its release, but is a legitimate master-class in parodying popular biopics of musicians, especially “Walk the Line” and “Ray”.

1987'S "The Princess Bride" IS STILL A LOVABLE ADVENTURE

In this episode, I cover a timeless Rob Reiner adventure-comedy with endless quotable lines, memorable characters, and exciting sequences.

2015'S "The Night Before" IS A SOLID CASUAL XMAS FLICK

For the final installment of this year’s Christmas movies, I cover a mildly enjoyable buddy comedy about 3 guys who are growing apart and decide to end their yearly Christmas Eve tradition with one last night of fun.

YES, 1996'S "Jingle All The Way" IS REALLY THAT BAD

Week 3 of my Christmas/Holiday episodes features the Arnold Schwarzenegger film where an objectively awful father puts off buying the only toy his son wants for Christmas until December 24th, when he finds out the massively popular action figure is sold out in stores.

HOW 1992'S "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" DOESN'T LIVE UP TO THE ORIGINAL

The long-delayed follow-up to my season 1 audio episode on the first movie, I cover Home Alone 2, where through a series of truly bad parenting decisions a child is yet again accidentally separated from his entire family during the holidays.

IS "Twisters" (2024) WORTH WATCHING?

In part 6/6 of our Trading Ratings series on Action/Adventure Sequels, the only “sequel” in the series that was released nearly 30 years after the first one, does it live up?

DOES 1993'S "The Nightmare Before Christmas" STILL HOLD UP?

This time around I review a movie that was the brain-child of Mr. Dark Visuals himself, Tim Burton. It’s a musical, it’s claymation, it’s less than 80 minutes long, and it is certainly different.
