This week we’re talking about our Most Anticipated Movies of Summer 2025! We each have a Top 5 (plus honorable mentions) of movies we are most looking forward to from April to September of 2025.

This week we’re discussing two Studio Ghibli classics directed by Hayao Miyazaki. His 1988 wholesome masterpiece, My Neighbor Totoro, and his 2001 international breakthrough, Spirited Away. Both films feature similar themes and are beautifully animated masterpieces in their own right. Listen to us discuss the similarities and differences between them and gush about each film’s wonderful animation and thematic richness.

This week, Ryan and Shane are each bringing you a Top 5 list of the "Most Underrated Movies." Our co-hosts each bring their own perspective of what it means to be an underrated movie and what makes one worth watching, bringing you lists that span across decades, genres, and public opinion. Join us as we venture into the world of the underappreciated and underseen, and let us know your underrated gems!

Join us this week for a meditative trip through the American psyche in Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life and Wim Wenders’ Paris, Texas. Both films won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes film festival and both happen to be (partially) set in Texas! We discuss various interpretations of each of these dense arthouse classics.

This week we’re talking about two of the most quotable and rewatchable comedies of the nineties: The Big Lebowski (1998) and Friday (1995). We talk about our favorite scenes and moments from each film and appreciate the passion and talent behind both of these classic comedies.

Tune in this week to hear our Oscar predictions for the 97th Academy Awards! We discuss what we think will win, what we hope will win, and the nominations that left us scratching our heads.

This week’s topic is movies about magic! Ryan and Shane discuss two animated films, Ralph Bakshi’s Wizards (1977) and Hayao Miyazaki’s Ponyo (2008). Both films use animation to show the audience unique and creative worlds and magical abilities. Wizards is a shoddily paced and vulgar depiction of a post-apocalyptic Earth with fairies, elves, and mutant Nazis. Ponyo, on the other hand, is an endearing and beautiful depiction of life on the Japanese coast and a magical underwater world. Join us in our discussion of these unique and fascinating animated movies about magic!
