I cover one of the most popular romantic dramas of all time, adapted from the novel by Nicholas Sparks.

A brief explanation of what kind of podcast this is.

To be fair, it's really only random in which movie I pick from week to week, but having a schtick is fun so I'm really hitching my wagon to the concept.

I decided to cover the one that started it all and really in retrospect delivers well enough on the final product that it's not surprising it inspired such a huge collection of sequels and spin-offs.

I cover the "true" story of how Mark Zuckerberg created the social networking site Facebook, told through the lens of the legal action being taken against him after the fact. This movie is probably roughly 5% true.

I finally cover the theatrically released animated movie set in the Batman: The Animated Series universe! I'm doing so after a lot of requests over the years from an overly enthusiastic fan of the show! (Me, the enthusiastic fan is me)

I cover one of the best examples of movies that created widespread millennial trauma about a group of young dinosaurs who go on a journey together.

I cover one of the all-time great space travel movies, which is even better in my book because it's based on real events.

I recap Sam Raimi's second installment in his Spider-Man trilogy which is considered by many to be his best.

I cover the sequely-est action sequel that ever dared to be a second installment in a franchise. But it's *technically* set at Christmas so it totally counts, yo.

I talk about the Rankin/Bass special that is significantly less special than the first 2 I already covered ("Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town") but it does have some redeeming qualities. I guess.

I cover the Netflix stylized animated feature that came out in 2019 that I watched for the first time for this video.

I cover the 1987 "Christmas" classic that started it all. Starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, this is a buddy cop movie that has iconic status for me.

My sister Michelle and I discuss what came roughly 37 years prior to Lindsay Lohan's breakout role in its remake, which is Disney's original adaptation of this bizarre story.

I cover the 1991 Disney animated classic that is set in 19th century France, but I do my best not to hold that against it.

I cover the Tarantino flick that started it all. It's cool, it's engaging, it's not told in chronological order. I love it.

I cover the tragicomedy from 2006 that was a surprise hit with an ensemble cast full of amazing performances.

I explore the movie that started the massive sci-fi franchise that evolved in many different ways over the years but I would argue this movie here is the crown jewel of the collection.

I cover my favorite modern western film and arguably the best performance of the late great Val Kilmer's career honestly. With so many quotable lines and epic scenes, disliking this film is downright Un-American.

I cover the unorthodox revenge tale that defies the odds by refusing to use common Hollywood tropes that are typically seen in this type of movie.

I cover the best of 3 2006 movies about magicians. This one is a roller coaster of time jumps and it was super tough to explain everything.

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.

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.

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.

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?.

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. This video contains A.I.-Generated Video and Audio. All written content is human-made.
