This whole podcast is a Trap! We're back for Dan's pick in our 2024 wrap-up series, M. Night Shyamalan's Trap. While not a hit with general audiences, did it work for us? We'll be back next week for our last pick in this series, Challengers!

CTP 144: The Fall Guy

CTP 144: The Fall Guy

We start our look back on 2024 releases with Conor's pick, The Fall Guy! The Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt romantic action film didn't land at the box office, but did it work for us? Come back next week for Brendan's pick, Trap!

CTP 143: Gladiator II

CTP 143: Gladiator II

24 years after Best-Picture-Winning film Gladiator hit the screens, 86-year-old Ridley Scott returns to the film that won him a gold statue. Paul Mescal steps into the lead role, and the star-studded supporting cast includes Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal. Did the gap in time cause Scott to lose the juice between films? Come back next week as we start our 2024 picks series with Conor's pick, The Fall Guy! We have a long preamble in this one, so the review itself starts at about a half-hour in.

CTP 142: Gladiator

CTP 142: Gladiator

Are you not entertained?! The crowd was in 2000, when the Ridley Scott directed film won Best Picture at the Oscars. Now, with the new film in theaters this week, we look back to see if we enjoy the original today. Stay tuned to the end of the show where we discuss what we'll be reviewing next after Gladiator II next week!

The Forrest Gump creative team has reunited over thirty years later to bring us Here! And Brendan and Conor wanted to review it so...here...we are. We'll be back with the start to our Gladiator quick series with the original Best Picture winner!

On the eve of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election, we here are looking back on to a film that (very briefly) covers the closest in American history, Vice focusing on former VP Dick Cheney. Adam McKay's controversial film still secured eight Oscar nominations including Best Picture. Did the satirical portrayal of Cheney and the Bush Administration work for us? Come back next week for our review of Here, the new film from Forrest Gump trio Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks, and Robin Wright!

CTP 139: Haunted Mansion (2023)

CTP 139: Haunted Mansion (2023)

Happy Halloween! We're here with a bonus review of Brendan's favorite movie of all time, Haunted Mansion (2023)! We hope you enjoy our review of the second movie adaptation of the theme park ride. We will be back on Monday with our review of Vice, leading up to the US elections on Tuesday...totally not freaking out.

For the first time ever, a podcast solely reviews Vile (2011) for an entire episode (as far as we know)! Why? It's a Conor movie. Did it work for Brendan and Ryan, though? We'll be back on Thursday with a bonus review for Haunted Mansion (2023), and then Vice on Monday next week!

CTP 137: Smile 2

CTP 137: Smile 2

Would It Kill You 2 Smile? Would have been a better title. But instead, Ryan, Brendan, and Conor venture back into theaters to review the #1 movie of the weekend at the box office, Smile 2! The first one was divisive among the hosts, but did this one impress us all? Come back next week when we review the Taylor Sheridan horror movie Vile!

In 2022, Parker Finn's directorial debut made Paramount very happy making over $200 million. Two years later, we're getting a sequel! Which means we have to go back and review the original before we head to theaters this weekend. Come on back next week for our review of Smile 2!

CTP 135: Joker: Folie à Deux

CTP 135: Joker: Folie à Deux

Oh, boy. Joker is back in theaters and people definitely aren't smiling this time. But did it work for us? Come on back next week as we review Smile before covering the new sequel the week after!

CTP 134: Megalopolis

CTP 134: Megalopolis

Almost 40 years in making, Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis is here! Although I don't think they told anyone it was coming out. We found our way to the theaters and to our mics to review the last film in our Grand Finale series. Did this divisive film work for us? Come back next week as we pick back up with the Joker with Joker: Folie a Deux!

CTP 133: Inland Empire

CTP 133: Inland Empire

David Lynch's incredible career in theatrical feature filmmaking seemingly came to an end in 2006 with the release of Inland Empire (yes, some consider Twin Peaks: The Return a film). His most experimental film to date, Empire is often listed as one of the most underrated films of all time, but did it work for us? Next week we wrap up our Grand Finale series with Francis Ford Coppola's new epic Megalopolis!

CTP 132: Frenzy

CTP 132: Frenzy

We're back with a quick extra review in our Grand Finale series with Alfred Hitchcock's second to last film, Frenzy. While the film is not often discussed with his earlier works, it does still fit with his major motifs, this time without the restrictions of the production code. But does this still equal a good film today? Come back next week for our review of David Lynch's last theatrical film, Inland Empire!

CTP 131: The Other Side of the Wind

CTP 131: The Other Side of the Wind

We begin our Grand Finale series leading to Megalopolis with one of the most peculiar films we have ever reviewed: Orson Welles' The Other Side of the Wind. Despite finishing shooting in 1976, the film was never released until 2018 long after the iconic director's death. Does the movie work on its own without the context of the production? We'll be back later in the week for a bonus review in this series, Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy!

CTP 130: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

CTP 130: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

The Juice is loose, running back to box office success! Tim Burton returns to one of his most famous films 36 years after its release for a legacy sequel that has been a hit with critics and audiences. But did it work for our hosts? Come back next week as we start our Grand Finale series with Orson Welles' final film, The Other Side of the Wind!

CTP 129: Beetlejuice

CTP 129: Beetlejuice

The Ghost with the Most has made his way to CTP! Brendan nerds out on a film he loves, Beetlejuice! But will the rest of the gang find the amusement Brendan does? Come back next week for our review of the sequel 36 years in the making, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Oops, said it three times!

CTP 128: Secret Agent

CTP 128: Secret Agent

Conor's 1936 selection is one of the two Alfred Hitchcock films from that year, Secret Agent! Did this 88-year-old film still work for the guys today? Come back next week for our review of the original Beetlejuice!

CTP 127: Alien: Romulus

CTP 127: Alien: Romulus

Alien is back in theaters 7 years after the release of the second Ridley Scott prequel film, Alien: Covenant. This time, the franchise is turned over veteran horror filmmaker Fede Alvarez for Alien: Romulus. We also have Logan back for this episode! Despite mostly positive reactions, the film gets divisive among the hosts. Come back next week as we wrap up our Random Year picks series with Conor's 1936 choice, Secret Agent from Alfred Hitchcock (available on Tubi). Then after that we start our two weeks with Beetlejuice!

CTP 126: The Night of the Hunter

CTP 126: The Night of the Hunter

Leanin', Leanin', Leanin' on the everlastin' pod! We're back with week 2 of our Random Year picks for Ryan's 1955 selection, Charles Laughton's The Night of the Hunter. This film is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made, and the best film from a one-time filmmaker. Does Robert Mitchum's Harry Powell still scare audiences today? Come back next week as we pick back up our Alien series with the new film from Fede Alvarez, Alien: Romulus!
