    It Ends
    Oct 15 2026

    Continuing our Gen Z horror trip we watch It Ends. A movie that's all about life and existential dread. But mostly it's about if you must choose two options to defend you and the rest come and attack you which would you choose? 10,000 rats, 50 hawks, five gorillas, or one guy with a gun?

    Great question in fact let's ignore how the world that we're forced to live in seems to be becoming a more dark and hostile place to live every day and discuss theoretical questions that will never happen in our lift times.

    Obsession
    Oct 8 2026

    Happy Halloween Spooktacular and we are starting off with a BANG! Obsession is one of the most profitable movies ever released and hugely popular. But does this little indie flick deserve the attention it gets?

    Join us this week as we talk about the dynamic between Bear and Nikki and how the gender roles are flipped. I don't need to write more of a description about this movie huh? I'm sure you've already watched hundreds of YouTube essays about this movie.

  • Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole

    Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
    Oct 1 2026

    Legend of the Guardians was a movie with maybe one of the longest titles of all time. I'm not even going to write it out in this description because it would make it too long; SEO be damned. Planned to watch this movie back when Sam Neil passed away, which now feels like forever ago. Regardless this movie is one of the first movies where Zach Snyder we feel wanted to show he had range. He wanted to say, "I don't just make movies about shirtless men who kick people into holes and super hero movies! I can make movies for kids too."

    Well he did. And the movie is honestly not that bad. It's maybe a little convoluted at times, but the message is clear: Being a Nazi is bad. The other message we learned from this movie is that having Owl City make a song for a movie about owls is way, way, way too on the nose.
