This week, we experience the most intense ride of the year. Nothing will prepare you for what this movie shoves in your face. Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid all deserve award season consideration for their insane and brilliant performances. The Substance (2024), directed by Coralie Fargeat.

This week, we watch one of the three films to ever win the five top oscars in a given year (Picture, Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay). The craft in this film is undeniable, but the impact of the film through its popularity is potentially not as great. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975), directed by the Milos Forman.

This week, we’re reposting an episode from a while back due to its continued relevance and prophetic messages. Network (1976), directed by Sidney Lumet.

This week, we watch the 7th film in the Alien franchise (not counting the AvP series) that aims to take it back to the feeling of the original by putting a horror movie director at the helm and by allowing the production to have mostly practical effects. The result is the scariest Alien film since the original. Alien: Romulus (2024), directed by Fede Alvarez.

This week, we watch the highest rated Scorsese movie on the list, as well as arguably the most influential gangster movie of all time. This film could define “good movies about bad people”, which is the acclaimed directors bread and butter. Goodfellas (1990), directed by the Martin Scorsese.

This week, we watch the heady sci-fi action fantasy (insert any genre here) film that took the 90’s by storm. This film spawned countless imitators, including three inferior sequels, and everything about it still holds up today. The Matrix (1999), directed by the Wachowski’s.

This week, we watch the R rated comic book movie that just passed $1 billions dollars worldwide box office. The motor mouthed Ryan Reynolds teams up with the straight man Hugh Jackman, revisiting his popular character in yellow this time. Stupid and funny is what it strives for, and very much achieves it. Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), directed by Shawn Levy.
