Nate and Ryan are breaking ground yet again with our very first Bonus Features episode. We discuss the Oscar movies we still needed to catch up on. A conversation about A Complete Unknown leads to a discussion of better than average music biopics. Ryan shares his recent obsession with Steven Soderbergh and what a deep dive into later-stage Soderbergh is like. What else should we be watching? Let us know!…
Nate and Ryan rewatch Harold and Maude , Hal Ashby’s 1971 cult classic, and another entry in our discussions of 5-star movies . Upon its release, audiences and critics had no idea what to make of this offbeat dark comedy. As the years went on, it gained a cult following and is widely considered to be a classic of 1970s cinema. Hal Ashby never quite earned his plaudits while he was alive, but (partly due to Harold and Maude ‘s cult following) generations of film fans consider him to be one of the greats.

Nate and Ryan start their journey through their 5-Star movies by discussing The Apartment , the 1960 classic starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. Winning a swath of Oscars signaled the love people had for The Apartment early on, but over the years, its legend has only grown. Directed by Billy Wilder, it’s widely hailed as one of the best movies of all time. So why is that? Nate and Ryan discuss what there is to love about this surprisingly dark, lovely comedy.

Happy T. Hanksgiving ! It’s that wonderful time of year when we give thanks for Hanks. This year we’re celebrating by rewatching a ’90s classic, Apollo 13 , directed by Ron Howard and starring, of course, the man himself: Tom Hanks. Coming right in the middle of his epic run of iconic ’90s roles, Apollo 13 continued to cement Tom Hanks as a dependable box office draw and an American treasure.

Get ready for another Holiday Spooktacular , as Nate and Ryan watch Godzilla Minus One , last year’s Oscar-winning hit monster movie from Japan! Who knew we needed another Godzilla movie, and a prequel at that, but director Takashi Yamazaki delivered a blend of monster action and historical fiction heart, bound together by Oscar-winning special effects. For their first monster movie, Nate and Ryan dive into the ocean of Godzilla mythology and talk about what might have struck a chord with so many viewers last year.

Nate and Ryan talk about 2023’s American Fiction , written and directed by Cord Jefferson and starring Jeffrey Wright. Both Nate and Ryan are big fans of author Percival Everett and his novel Erasure , which American Fiction is adapted from. For that reason, expectations were high for this Academy-Award winning movie. Critics all loved it, and the limited audiences who saw it seemed to as well. So what did Nate and Ryan think?

Nate and Ryan complete the second leg of Barbenheimer with a discussion about 2023’s smash hit Barbie , directed by Greta Gerwig. Barbie ‘s popularity boom and subsequent backlash and Oscars buzz and subsequent Oscars backlash have come and gone, so we decided it would be a good time to see what it’s like to watch Barbie after the dust has settled, but while it’s still fresh in our minds. We discuss our love for all things Greta Gerwig, the all-out weirdness of this movie, and what we think there is to learn about being human from this massively successful corporate commercial.

Once again, the Academy picked our movie for this month, so Ryan and Nate are re-watching Oppenheimer , 2024’s Best Picture Oscar winner, written and directed by Christopher Nolan. On top of continuing this year’s theme of revisiting 2023, Ryan and Nate realized they’ve never talked about a Christopher Nolan movie on air. Given the decades worth of praise that’s been heaped upon Nolan, as well as the mountain of awards his latest movie won, it seemed like the time was right to take a trip back to Los Alamos.

For this episode, Nate and Ryan picked from the slate of Best Picture nominees and decided to re-watch Past Lives , their favorite movie from 2023, and a stunning directorial debut from playwright Celine Song. While it’s not a front-runner for any Oscars, Past Lives has been widely recognized as something special, which is saying something, given how strong the field was this last year. It’s unexpected Golden Globe nominations put Past Lives on many people’s radar, and a slew of nominations (and a few wins) followed.

Nate and Ryan discuss the Golden Globe winning and Oscar nominated Alexander Payne comedic drama The Holdovers. Much has been made of the reunion of Paul Giamatti and Alexander Payne after 20 years. Added to their alchemy are Da’Vine Joy Randolph (in yet another standout performance) and newcomer Dominic Sessa. What results is a throwback comedy that unfolds in emotional and unexpected ways. Nate and Ryan talk about how Payne and Co. create a lived-in atmosphere and whether The Holdovers has the goods to be in the annual watch rotation. On top of all that, hear their plans for this year’s theme! What are your thoughts on The Holdovers , and what movies should we talk about in future episodes this year? Let us know!

For our Gap Year T. Hanksgiving, Nate and Ryan watch The ‘Burbs , the 1989 Tom Hanks cult classic directed by Joe Dante. Featuring a stacked cast, including Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, and Corey Feldman, in addition to the man himself, The ‘Burbs is a horror/comedy that kind of befuddled audiences and critics in the late ’80s, but has developed a growing reputation as a prescient criticism of the corrosive power of a humdrum suburban existence. The ‘Burbs showcases the burgeoning realist side of Hanks, but gives plenty of opportunity for over-the-top crazy Hanks to shine through. Let us know your thoughts on The ‘Burbs !

‘Tis the season for our 10th annual Holiday Spooktacular , and as part of our Gap Year, we’re watching Hereditary , Ari Aster’s 2018 hit horror film starring Toni Collette. Hereditary took audiences by storm and continued studio A24’s rise to prominence in the current film conversation. It’s a career-making first feature for Ari Aster, and an electric performance by Toni Collette that seemed to impress everyone. As per Holiday Spooktacular tradition, Nate and Ryan had scared themselves out of watching it until now, seeing as Hereditary’ s place as a must-see horror movie seems more or less cemented. What did you think of Hereditary ? Let us know! Read Hereditary’s Ari Aster Answers Our Burning Questions About His “Upsetting” Horror Film by Jordan Crucchiola (Vulture).…
Nate and Ryan watch Bringing out the Dead, a Gap Year movie by one of their favorite directors, Martin Scorsese. Released in 1999, Bringing out the Dead was largely ignored by audiences and remains one of Scorsese’s forgotten works. Listen in as Nate and Ryan dig into the merits of this underappreciated gem. If you haven’t seen Bringing out the Dead , check it out and discover one of Scorsese’s most complicated (and chaotic) examinations of the intersection of humanity and divinity.

Nate and Ryan get in the summer blockbuster mood by watching Predator (1987) for the first time. As part of our Gap Year series, we’re catching up on this action classic over 35 years later. As often happens, Predator is now looked at quite differently from when it was first released. Nate and Ryan share their first impressions and whether or not another over-the-top action movie is an appropriate means of critiquing over-the-top action movies. Get to the choppa for a ride full of explosions, biceps, and foreign policy that oversteps through overuse of military! As always, let us know your thoughts on this movie!

Nate and Ryan watch Under the Tuscan Sun with special guest Rachel Hughes Gates. As we continue to rectify blind spots during this Gap Year, Rachel suggested that we watch Under the Tuscan Sun , a movie that has stuck with her ever since she saw it in theaters 20 years ago. Though the movie didn’t make the biggest splash upon its release, it has maintained popularity with its effective blend of romance, comedy, scenery, food, and affection for Italian cinema. Rachel talks us through what the movie has meant to her and why she thinks more people should watch Under the Tuscan Sun , preferably while eating some Italian food and some good wine.
