Rushmore (1998)
We're back with another movie. This time it's Wes Anderson's Sophmore effort, Rushmore. Written by Anderson and his frequent collaborator and childhood friend, Owen Wilson, it bears all the hallmarks of a Wes Anderson project, though it's a bit less polished than his future films. Join us for the podcast to hear what we thought about this 22 year-old film.Join the discussion: Email | ForumsFollow us: Twitch | YouTube | Twitter | Instagram | FacebookLeave Us A Review on Apple Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

The Hustler (1961)
Today we're talking 1961's The Hustler, which might just be the greatest movie about the game of pool that has ever been made. Starring Paul Newman, Piper Laurie, and George C. Scott, it's a tale of an up-and-coming pool hustler trying to make it big but, more importantly, it's the story of a man trying to figure out what makes a person a "winner".Join the discussion: Email | ForumsFollow us: Twitch | YouTube | Twitter | Instagram | FacebookLeave Us A Review on Apple Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

The Hunt for Red October (1990)
The Hunt for Red October is a classic naval thriller starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin in the lead roles. As a big Tom Clancy fan, it's also one of A.Ron's favorite films.

Inception (2010) - 10th Anniversary
Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of Christopher Nolan's dreamscape heist film, Inception. We covered it immediately after its initial release and 10 years later we're back to do it all over again. I assume we'll hit level three in about 90 more years and come back from limbo to cover it one final time, but until then check out our 2nd podcast review of this film.Find out first review here.Join the discussion: Email | ForumsFollow us: Twitch | YouTube | Twitter | Instagram | FacebookLeave Us A Review on Apple Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
We seem to be on a Vietnam kick with a couple of our movie choices lately. Oliver Stone's 1989 adaptation of Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic's autobiography of the same name, recounting his journey from a combat-thirsty young man to a disabled anti-war activist, is worthy of the two academy awards it won. Join us for a discussion about the film, this American folly, and its lingering effects on our society today.Join the discussion: Email | ForumsFollow us: Twitch | YouTube | Twitter | Instagram | FacebookLeave Us A Review on Apple Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

Apollo 13 (1995)
This week marks the 25th anniversary of the release of Apollo 13. It was a movie A.Ron and I loved back then and we were pleasantly surprised to see how well it held up. Join us for a discussion of the film, the real Apollo missions, the future of space exploration, and beyond.Join the Club!Join the discussion: Email | ForumsFollow us: Twitch | YouTube | Twitter | Instagram | FacebookLeave Us A Review on Apple Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

Fruitvale Station (2013)
This week we take a look at Ryan Coogler's first feature film, Fruitvale Station, about the 2009 murder of Oscar Grant. It is competently directed by Coogler but the impeccable performances by recognizable names such as Octavia Spencer and Michael B. Jordan, as well as its tragically-evergreen relevance, are what really make the film a must-see.Join the discussion: Email | ForumsFollow us: Twitch | YouTube | Twitter | Instagram | FacebookLeave Us A Review on Apple Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

Da 5 Bloods (2020)
After we announced last week that we'd be covering Fruitvale Station, Spike Lee went and dropped his latest joint, Da 5 Bloods, on Netflix, to rave reviews. So, we've decided to postpone Fruitvale Station for a week in favor of timely coverage of what's sure to be a strong contender come Oscar season.

Capote (2005)
We hardly knew anything about Truman Capote but this meaty biopic impressed us anyway. Our review covers the outstanding performance of Philip Seymour Hoffman, the duality of Truman Capote (and maybe investigative journalists and authors generally), his life in the aftermath of the experiences depicted in the film, and much more.

Children of Men (2006)
Children of Men is a fondly-remembered, dystopian, science fiction thriller about the end of humanity, from Alfonso Cuarón's mid-2000's filmography. A.Ron has never seen it. Jim saw it once many years ago and enjoyed it but wasn't blown away. What do we think of it over a decade later?
