  • Heat: We Get the Hype Now | Better Late Than Blockbuster
    Dec 5 2025

    We finally watched Heat...and now we understand why film people get insufferable about it. So naturally, this episode is us becoming those people. Perfect casting, iconic diner tension, and a level of rewatchability that might say concerning things about us. Get ready for terrible Pacino impersonations, revisiting the 1995 Oscars, and for our across the table conversation that will no doubt be just as iconic as the one in this movie. Welcome to our villain era.

  • No Country for Old Men: No Score? No Problem! | Better Late Than Blockbuster
    Nov 28 2025

    Welcome to our most uplifting episode yet, the one were we talk about fate, violence, despair, and existential dread! In this installment of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we discuss No Country for Old Men, a movie so tense it feels like cardio. We talk perfect movie length, immaculate tension, and the bold decision to let silence do most of the talking (weirdly, Evan's ok with it). Plus, Dana can't stop thinking this is a secret Frankenstein movie, and we both unpack why drinking someone else's milk is the scariest thing on screen.

  • Se7en: What's in the Box...? (Our Regret for Not Seeing It Sooner) | Better Late Than Blockbuster
    Nov 21 2025

    In the second ever episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we finally tackle David Fincher's Se7en, only three decades after the rest of the world. One of us went in as blind as Detective Mills on his first day, and the other couldn't stop looking over their shoulder to see how the other was reacting to every incredible scene. We unpack the film's atmosphere, its iconic ending, and why the movie is still a masterpiece.

  • The Dark Knight: Why So Late?
    Nov 6 2025

    One of us had never seen The Dark Knight...until now. In the very first episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we dive headfirst into Gotham to see if Christopher Nolan's 2008 superhero epic still holds up. Spoiler alert: it absolutely does. From Heath Ledger's legendary performance to the chaos-fueled philosophy that makes this more than "just a Batman movie," we unpack why this film changed the genre forever.

    Expect plenty of gushing of Nolan's direction, unnecessary tangents on Oppenheimer (we can't help ourselves), and some light sibling roasting about how someone managed to miss this cultural moment for over a decade.

    Because if you're going to start late...you might as well start with a masterpiece.

  • A Few Good Men: The Ultimate Sibling Debate | Better Late Than Blockbuster
    Dec 19 2025

    In this episode, we finally tackle A Few Good Men, a movie only one of us believes is culturally mandatory viewing. We debate its place in the pop-culture canon, take a surprising detour into Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and make the case that Tom Cruise is the greatest movie star of all time. Plus, Dana's hottest-ever Oscar take. Court is officially in session.

  • Napoleon Dynamite: Too Close to Home | Better Late Than Blockbuster
    Dec 12 2025

    We finally hit play on Napoleon Dynamite expecting laughs and got hit with a full-scale nostalgia attack. Front doors like ours. Classrooms like ours. Awkward kids like...well...us. We talk about how this movie didn't just make us laugh, it somehow unlocked our childhood memories.

  • Emergency Episode: A Public Apology for Crimes Against Cinema Terminology | Better Late Than Blockbuster
    Nov 26 2025

    Look, Dana said "cinematographies" in the very first episode and it's been haunting her ever since. So, before the internet drags us, here's a mini episode where we confess, apologize, and then loudly praise our favorite cinematographers to restore balance.
