  • Moneyball
    Mar 10 2024

    In 2011, Bennett Miller somehow made us care about baseball when he turned a book about the Oakland A’s and a couple of sabermetricians into a feature-length drama featuring Brad Pitt, his bff Jonah Hill, and the great Philip Seymour Hoffman. Sabermetricians? You’re goddamn right! I vocabulary like a mug. This flick struggled in production but Aaron Sorkin and Steven Zaillian both brought on as pinch hitters to finish what would become a film adorned in accolades and box office earnings. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate what losing sounds like and how much money a legacy is worth as we see if this one stole home or hit a grand slam.

  • John Wick
    Feb 25 2024

    In 2014, a puppy was kicked to death, and a tale of vengeance and healing followed with Chad Stahelski’s action banger, John Wick. Starring Keanu Reeves as the iconic title character who finds therapy in murder as he grieves his way through an organized crime family responsible for killing that puppy I mentioned earlier. This comic-inspired flick spurred too many sequels and spinoffs and made a metric ass-load of cash in the process. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent check in at The Continental to debate underworld commerce and see if John Wick is back or shoulda stayed retired.

  • BigFish
    Feb 18 2024

    In 2003 Tim Burton found himself hung up in tall tales with his fantastical family drama, Big Fish. This flick netted some huge talent with Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney, Billy Crudup, Jessica Lange and many other notable names and faces as we brave the waters of this father and son’s tumultuous relationship told over the backdrop of an old man’s often confused musings.  Big Fish was nominated for a pile of awards that got away but did well critically. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate absentee fathers and disappointing sons as we decide if this Big Fish is the catch-of-the-day or if it’s gone bad.
