Episode 567: ReFlicktion Babylon (January RF Part 2)

Make sure you listen to Part 1 of January ReFlicktions, then come back for the 2nd half of the usual massive list of films that Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl have seen in the last six or seven weeks.

Some of the discussion includes Will Smith's latest and could it have been Oscar bait if only... Rian Johnson returning with another Benoit Blanc's mystery skills... some of the best animation of the year... Bond's music... Christian Bale in the Civil War and Ric Flair in a wrestling ring... creepy dolls... Brendan Fraser's comeback... the latest Baumbach...

And a longer than usual discussion on Babylon, how Mikey loved it, how Earl hasn't seen it, and how Dave cannot decide what he thinks.

Oh, and more Nic Cage.

Episode 408: ReFlicktions Story

Even though ReFlicktions are every month, Christmastime ReFlicktions just seem a little better, more festive, and jollier.  That bowl full of jelly isn't jelly at all, it's just Mikey laughing at #TwitterlessDrEarl's jokes, while Dave tries to keep control!


This month, the guys have a plethora, a cornucopia, a tundra if you will, of films to discuss, including many still in theaters and several Oscar contenders.

Dave leads off with one of the worst films he's seen in a while, while Mikey gives three films with incredibly long and cumbersome titles. The guys wonder if they've talked about Doctor Sleep already (??) and marvel at Ford v Ferrari.

The guys dive deep into The Irishman with mixed results, Mikey is displeased with a critical darling, Dave catches up on an old Disney classic, and everyone agrees that Rian Johnson's new film is a home run.
