Nine Fingers in LA

To all those who celebrate, Merry Christmas! Our gift to you today is we review one of the best movies of the year, and one of the worst. Lucky you! Hear our glowing thoughts on the Alfonso Cuaron directed look at his childhood, Roma, and our outright disgust on how Welcome to Marwen misses the point.

We review two nostalgia filled movies this week that are attempting to continue the stories setup years before hand. We train hard with the latest film in the Rocky mythology with Creed II, and we take a magic fueled ride through London with Mary Poppins Returns. We will have ANOTHER episode this week as we will release our reviews of Roma and Welcome to Marwen on Christmas Day so be sure to be on the look out!

Reunited with the movie theater and it feels so good! This week we can't contain our excitement for Into the Spider-Verse, The Favourite is hilarious, and The Mule leaves our Eastwood historian Kristen feeling sad and disappointed. We also talk about the SAG award nominations and induct some high profile people into the Pyramid!

Nominations for the 2019 Golden Globes were just announced and with them, awards season has begun! Our expert team of movie watchers gather to discuss all the things we liked, hated, what got snubbed, and how the Academy Awards may try to course correct in a few weeks.

No matter what you celebrate, we have 9 different movies for you to enjoy this holiday season! Listen in as our resident group of cheery film elves discuss outdoor illumination, going out to the coast for a few laughs, and the magic of the Shane Black hat trick.

Our group of aurors, muggles and dark wizards convene so that we can talk about everything from the new Fantastic Beasts film, The Crimes of Grindelwald. Listen in as we discuss what works and what didn't in this latest entry in the Warner Brothers Wizarding World series. It's in the title but please note that this entire podcast features SPOILERS about the film so please be aware of it before you listen in.

We somehow survived the insanity that was the Thanksgiving weekend, and we even saw some movies to boot! Our group discusses the beautifully made and acted Boy Erased, the solid but lacking The Front Runner, the baffling Robin Hood, and then finally rave about the sure-fire Oscar contender Green Book.

It's a mad dash for movie studios to get their movies out and we're trying our best to stay up to date. This week we get into the holiday spirit with The Grinch, impressed with the stellar craftsmanship of Widows, and are perplexed by the very uneven Crimes of Grindelwald.

We saw two fantastic films and a disappointing movie this week, and it's probably not the one you think! Kristen joins Joe for his Mediocre Monday Movie this week with the disjointed Wildlife, the gang can't stop gushing about how wonderful Can You Ever Forgive Me is, and finally the group can't stop looking away from all the gushing blood and gore from the high octane Overlord.

This week we discuss advanced line cutting techniques when trying to get your movie concessions, gush about Jonah Hill's stellar film Mid90s, and try to make sense of our feelings around the well acted but completely sensationalized Bohemian Rhapsody.

The end of October brings us Halloween, submarines and films about addiction! This week we discuss the fun of Gerard Butler in Hunter Killer, and the well acted but mediocre Beautiful Boy. We then give you a few of our favorite horror movies to watch on this upcoming spooky Halloween night.

When we aren't seeing movies, we are enjoying the process of reading 1-Star Reviews about Movie Theaters and Cruises. After that though, we discuss how impressed we were with the hard hitting but masterfully done The Hate U Give. While the box office was buzzing about the return of Michael Myers and Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween, we were a little less enthralled with the quality and just how safe they played it. At least John Carpenter's music was still stellar! Finally, we finish off the episode by inducting Common and Jamie Lee into our acting Pyramid.

Our intrepid group of movie fanatics discuss the unfortunate nature of First Man getting buried by the Venom / Star is Born hype. They then move on to review the delightfully well crafted The Old Man & the Gun with Robert Redford, and then the good but slightly missing the mark Bad Times at the El Royale. As always, the group then finishes up the podcast by inducting Robert Redford and Jeff Bridges into the acting Pyramid.

What a week for movies! In addition to us talking about going to a different movie theater and all the weirdness that brings, we talk about the riveting First Man, the stellar A Star is Born, the over the top campiness of Venom, and then Kristen gives us her positive impressions on The Sisters Brothers.

After a few minutes of trying to avoid the topic, Joey & Kristen share their many disappointments with Life Itself. Seriously, don't go see this movie. After that they gush about how much fun Hellfest was, and give a glowing review of the stellar Colette.
