episode 408: '13 Hours' (2016) Is Michael Bay At His Very Best
Our Score - 7/10 (B-) Rotten Tomatoes - 51% IMDB - 7.3/10
Chosen By: Nate Dudley
In 13 Hours (2016), Michael Bay's action sequences are as good as always, while his typical weaknesses are minimized due to a more mature approach on his part. Is that enough for Dudley and Shane to convince Aaron this is a good movie?
episode 407: 'Tears of the Sun' Still Stands Out Thanks to Its Incredible Action and Thrills
Our Score - 7.25/10 (B-) Rotten Tomatoes - 33% IMDB - 6.6/10
Chosen By: Shane Cronican
Some may have an issue with the thin, one-sided message of Tears of the Sun (2003). If you can get past that and watch it for what it is, a straight-forward military thriller, you'll find a lot to enjoy...
episode 406: Malignant (2021) Is Splitting Us Apart
Our Score - 6.6/10 Rotten Tomatoes - 76% IMDB - 6.3/10
Chosen By: Matt McNeal
It's Matt and Shane against Aaron in this episode. Depending on which one you ask, Malignant is either a gloriously nutty homage to campy horror movies of the past or it is an unenjoyable, silly bore.
episode 405: The Batman (2022) Is An Exceptional New Take On The Character
Our Score - 8.75/10 (A-) Rotten Tomatoes - 85% IMDB - 8/10
Chosen By: Aaron Cronican
The Batman establishes a fresh identity that lays a fantastic foundation for a new franchise. Robert Pattinson makes for an interesting Batman and the supporting cast are all at the top of their game...
'Raiders of the Lost Ark' Is a Timeless Classic
Our Score - 8.75/10 (A-) Rotten Tomatoes - 95% IMDB - 8.4/10
Chosen By: Steve Rushlau
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) is a timeless classic. Its characters, theme, scenes, stunts, and dialogue are still incredible these 40+ years later, and this remains the gold standard for adventure movies.
'Warrior' (2011) Is An Exceptional, Hard Hitting Sports Drama
Our Score - 8.09/10 (B+) Rotten Tomatoes - 84% IMDB - 8.2/10
Listener Request From: Jay V
Jay V, a listener of the show, wanted us to review Warrior, which he believes is a sports drama masterpiece. Guess what? We agree!
'We Own the Night' Falls Just Short of Greatness
Our Score - 7.17/10 (B-) Rotten Tomatoes - 57% IMDB - 6.8/10
Chosen By: Nate Dudley
We Own the Night (2007) is a very good movie with some powerful scenes and performances. Unfortunately, the human elements feel a bit cold and disconnected so it lacks the emotional punch it needed to be great.
The Third Day (2020) Just Isn't For Us
Our Score - 6/10 (C) Rotten Tomatoes - 79% IMDB - 6.4/10
Chosen By: Aaron Cronican
The Third Day has tremendous acting across the board and an intriguing mystery at its core, but it had too many elements that we didn't enjoy.
Free Guy: Ryan Reynolds Plays A Familiar Character In A Familiar Film
Our Score: 6.5/10 (C+) Rotten Tomatoes - 80% IMDB - 7.2/10
Chosen By: Michael Lucas
'Free Guy' is a fine movie with no serious faults, but it never feels fresh or original and suffers because of that. Fans of Ryan Reynold might appreciate it, but anybody growing tired of his shtick won't be impressed.
A Monster Calls (2016) Is A Solid Family Tearjerker
Our Score - 7/10 (B-) Rotten Tomatoes - 86% IMDB - 7.5/10
Chosen By: Matt McNeal
A Monster Calls has some issues with its tone, and it lacks the depth needed to make it great, but it is still a very solid movie with tremendous performances from all involved. If you're looking for an easy watch that aims to pull at your heartstrings, you could do a lot worse.
