Josh’s Something Old: Jerry Maguire Skye’s Something Old: Three Amigos! Something New: Top Gun: Maverick Josh’s Proposal: This is not the summer blockbuster we wanted, it’s the summer blockbuster we needed.

Episode 130: Operation Mincemeat
Josh’s Something Old: About a Boy Skye’s Something Old: Patton Something New: Operation Mincemeat Josh’s Proposal: I propose Operation Mincemeat is a good example of using fiction to tell a true story. Skye’s Proposal: This is another one of those movies that proves that truth is stranger than fiction and sometimes even more compelling Something Borrowed: The True Story Behind Netflix’s Operation Mincemeat & Movies from the Mountain top Josh’s Something Blew: Home Before Dark Skye’s Something Blew: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel & George Carlin’s American Dream Jason’s Something Blew: The Prestige TV Podcast (Barry Recaps) Follow us on twitter: Skye, Josh & Jason Find us on Facebook

Skye’s Something Old: Arachnaphobia Josh’s Something Old: Breakdown Something New: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Josh’s Proposal: The MCU is a double edge sword and it’s cutting in the wrong direction.

Episode 128: Father Stu
Something Old: Skye’s: Sister Act Josh’s: Rudy Something New: Father Stu Josh’s Proposal: Father Stu is a movie worth seeing, but misses the mark, because it never really answers the question why did Stu come to faith? Or more specifically, why did he become a priest? Skye’s Proposal: Father Stu is an example of what Paul was told, when God said “My strength is made perfect in your weakness” Something Borrowed: Mark Wahlberg Interview: Star of Father Stu (2022) on Playing a Priest, The Fighter 2, More Projects Something Blew: Jason’s: Russian Doll Skye’s: Munich: The Edge of War & Moon Knight Josh’s: The Tender Bar & The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Follow us on twitter: Skye, Josh & Jason Find us on Facebook

Episode 127: Turning Red with Kaitlyn Schiess
Something Old: Kaitlyn’s: Pollyanna Josh’s: Teen Wolf Skye’s: Big Something New: Turning Red Josh’s Proposal: Turning Red is a great example of “write what you know” Skye’s Proposal: Turning Red had really admirable goals but failed to deliver on them. Kaitlyn’s Proposal: It’s a really moving coming of age story, has a really beautiful message about family and especially Mother-Daughter relationships, but it unfortunately is caught up in an American Christian Culture war about identity and self actualization that causes us to misinterpret it. Something Borrowed: Embrace the Panda: Making Turning Red Something Blew: Josh’s: CODA Jason’s: You’ll Never Edit an Unfunny Film Again.

Episode 126: The Adam Project
Something Old: Josh’s: Catch Me If You Can Skye’s: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Something New: The Adam Project Josh’s Proposal: Although the Adam Project is mediocre, it’s ultimately a win for 2 reasons: The unique parent-child relationships and they doubled down on Ryan Reynolds being Ryan Reynolds. Skye’s Proposal: The Adam Project could have been a pretty good half hour television series on the CW Something Borrowed: Top 10 Actors Who Always Play Themselves Something Blew: Josh’s: The Tourist Skye’s: The Batman | Deleted Arkham Scene Jason’s: Disney’s Galactic Starcruiser Follow us on twitter: Skye, Josh & Jason Find us on Facebook

Episode 125: The Batman
Something Old: Josh’s: Road to Perdition Skye’s: Chinatown or Se7en Something New: The Batman Josh’s Proposal: What are we saying when we tell stories with heroes that create worse problems than the problems that inspire them to become heroes? Skye’s Proposal: The Batman is a brilliant film noir detective movie, but lacks the one essential ingredient to make a good comic book movie. Fun.

Something Old: Josh’s: Delicatessen Skye’s: Independence Day Something New: Don’t Look Up Josh’s Proposal: Don’t Look Up is like a stereotypical Christian film where fans fall in love with the message and ignore the craft.
