S1E34 The Fly (1986)

Oct 16, 2025 1h 11m

Cronenberg, Goldblum, and a baboon named Typhoon star in a horror opera that "penetrates beyond the veil of the flesh." In true Cronenberg fashion, this movie is thought-provoking and gross.

S1E33 iRobot (2004)

Sep 18, 2025 59m

S1E30 Swordfish (2001)

Jun 19, 2025 59m

Travolta vs. Jackman, Wolverine vs. Barbarino, who will win? Swordfish is a ridiculous movie, but hey, it's fun to watch. I think that describes most Joel Silver-produced movies. We delve deep into…

S1E27 Gamer (2009)

Mar 20, 2025 47m

Have you ever wanted to play Call of Duty, but for real? Yeah, me neither. They should make a sequel to this movie with Animal Crossing.

S1E26 Real Genius (1985)

Jan 23, 2025 1h 22m

Is there anyone cooler than Chris Knight? Except for Val Kilmer himself? I don't think so. A movie so good I wore out the tape.

S1E25 The Lawnmower Man (1992)

Aug 15, 2024 1h 3m

A movie so good, Stephen King sued to have his name taken off it.

S1E21 Network (1976)

The newsroom has changed so much since 1976 but also has largely remained the same. We watch the eerily prescient Network.

S1E16 Hackers (1995)

Apr 25, 2024 59m

Why did we never get the internet depicted in mid-90s films? I wanted to fly through the landscape of cyberspace and see a digital representation of my destination, while wearing eye goggles and…

S1E15 Demolition Man (1993)

Apr 11, 2024 1h 13m

The events of this movie take place less than a decade from now. We really need to step up, as a society, and get these "Franchise Wars" kicked off. Otherwise, Demolition Man will just seem silly.
