  • Anaconda (1997): Snakes, Sweat & Surprising Subtext in the Jungle
    Oct 5 2025

    This week, Ben and Rob slither into Anaconda (1997), the gloriously over-the-top creature feature starring Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz, and Owen Wilson. What should’ve been a throwaway B-movie about a giant snake somehow became one of the most iconic (and endlessly rewatchable) jungle horrors of the ’90s.

    Why does Anaconda work so well as a B-movie? Was the legendary animatronic snake actually more convincing than its CGI counterpart? Which big-name stars almost joined the cast—and would it have changed anything if they had?

    And here’s the real question: is Anaconda secretly a commentary on authoritarian religious belief? Or are we just staring too long into Jon Voight’s cursed smirk? The lads wrestle with meaning, nostalgia, and cold-blooded chaos in this deep dive into one of cinema’s most unexpectedly enduring creature features.

  • Knives Out (2019): How Rian Johnson Lied To Us (And Why We Loved It)
    Sep 28 2025

    This week, Ben and Rob sink their teeth into Knives Out (2019), Rian Johnson’s razor-sharp murder mystery starring Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, and Toni Collette. A modern riff on Agatha Christie, Knives Out blends old-school detective tropes with wickedly funny satire and a cast firing on all cylinders.

    But who is Rian Johnson, really? Why was Knives Out written in the first place? How does the film prove Johnson is a master liar, using misdirection to keep audiences guessing until the very last moment? And how did the fallout from Star Wars: The Last Jedi shape the way he wrote this murder mystery in the first place?

    Most importantly; what does Knives Out really mean beneath the laughs, the sweaters, and Benoit Blanc’s legendary accent? The lads dive into Johnson’s layered storytelling, the legacy of the whodunnit genre, and why this film became one of the most beloved mysteries of the century.

  • The Fanatic (2019): Fred Durst, John Travolta & The Cult Classic You Didn’t Ask For
    Sep 21 2025

    This week, Ben and Rob slam right into The Fanatic (2019), the bizarre thriller directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and starring John Travolta and Devon Sawa. It’s a fever dream of celebrity obsession, questionable choices, and Nu-Metal energy that has us all asking: why was this film even made?

    What on earth were Travolta and Sawa thinking? Is The Fanatic based on a true story, or just Fred Durst’s wild imagination? And the real kicker—is it good, bad, or that sweet spot of so-bad-it’s-good? Maybe it even succeeds on its own bonkers B-movie terms.

    The lads dig into why this film is amazing (yes, amazing), what it really means beneath the awkward line deliveries and Limp Bizkit Easter eggs, and whether The Fanatic is destined to become the next funnybad cult classic for nu-metal survivors everywhere.
