Episode 681: Another Simple ReFlicktions

Val Kilmer swings and misses... Viola Davis swings and misses... Tom Hardy swings and misses... MCU hits a home run... Walter Matthau gets busy... death comes for us all... and a movie Mikey refuses to watch.

It's also InternationEarl as our Dr. Earl pays off the films from around the world he's seen, as assigned by d$, Mikey, and Friends of the Show Burgess and Garrison.

Episode 627: The ReFlicktions Express (the extended cut)

After weeks of finishing up 2023, complete with last week's The Deucie Awards, it's finally time to bring in the rundown of all the movies seen in recent weeks (and months)... as Timberlake would sing, "IT'S GONNA BE MAY... ReFlicktions"

Dave goes through several classic (and maybe not as classic) films, while Mikey discusses his rankings of how 3.5 on Letterboxd may or not be indicative that he hates the movie.  Also, why Daryl Hannah may not be very smart... Dr Earl gets a little pretentious... John Cena bringing it... the early Kendricks film... Earl's Poor Things rant... why Daisy Ridley may not be very good... more Baumbach... 

And big movies like The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Godzilla x Kong, Civil War, and Challengers.

And Rebel Moon. Yikes.

Plus, assigned films make their return, with the payoff of Pineapple Express, Minari, While We're Young, and Mr. Jealousy

Episode 620: Let's Dune This... March ReFlicktions

The awards season is almost over - we've got a few days until the Academy Awards, and another day or so after until the nominations for the real awards, the Deucies

Until then, it's time to talk about the films that have been viewed, seen, watched, absorbed and enjoyed in the last month or so... and on the heels of the biggest movies the year -- Dune 2 -- its time to talk about it! 

First up, a few birthday movies - what did come out in March in 2019, 2014, 1994, 1979 and so on... including the first mention of "Wing Commander" in what is likely a very long time.

Then, we dive right in, showcasing classic movies like "Safety Last" and "Gimme Shelter" and Oscar bait, like "Maestro" and "Strays" and fresh on the screen, like "Spaceman" and yes, the full review of the crapfests known as "Argylle" and "Madame Web".

Plus, Rachel McAdams in a period piece... Dr Earl enjoying the Barb... why Michael hates "May December" so much... and could Carey Mulligan make every single thing she's in just that much better?

And finally, the long lost return of Assigned Films, introducing the "Time Bandits" rule.
