In this episode of Talkies, Shea Angus and Brandon dive into the triumphant return of the movie theater experience in an era dominated by streaming. They explore why the big screen still reigns supreme, from the communal energy of theatergoers to the undeniable magic of immersive cinematic moments that simply can't be replicated at home.

The war between theatres and streamers is raging and theatres got a big win recently. From original movies like Sinners and the theatrical re-releases of Revenge of the Sith raking in cash, audiences are making a statement that the desire to experience movies in a theatre is still there.

Shea and Brandon discuss the impact of box office trends, the nostalgia of shared movie experiences, and the growing importance of advocating for theatrical runs.

So, sit back, grab your popcorn, and tune in as they break down why, no matter how many times we hit pause, you can’t stream this feeling.

Brandon and Shea are back this week with The Accountant 2, a movie that’s funny and about what they boys expected. They dive into the math, the murder, and the glorious mess of brotherly violence.

But then Drop happened. And everything fell apart.
Shea absolutely unloads on this so-called thriller, from the endless cliches to the baffling story choices to the straight-up criminal pacing. Brandon tries to play diplomat… for a while. Expect rants, roasts, and a full-on cinematic intervention for bad thriller writing.

It’s chaos. It’s catharsis. It’s Talkies.

Shea and Brandon are back this week to talk all about Warfare and Sinners!

Before you listen to this week's episode, make sure you go see Sinners in theatres! You won't want to miss this one and the boys are eager to talk about this one.

Brandon and Shea are back at it again this week, this time unpacking the wild ride that is Freaky Tales and the curious case of Luckiest Man in America.

But that's not all… Brandon took his first trip to The Forum here in Montreal and, let’s just say he did not find it fun. Cue a full-on rant about Cineplex, modern theatres, and the state of moviegoing today. Popcorn was thrown. Metaphorically. The only way in which it ever should be!

This week, we’re talking Working Man and Death of a Unicorn! One’s a Statham-fueled rescue mission with (an admittedly thin amount of) blue collar grit, the other’s an A24 dark comedy with dead unicorns, daddy issues, & Will Poulter.Between the male fantasies, the pacing problems, and the Will Poulter of it all, how did we feel? Tune in to find out!

This week, we’re talking Mickey 17 and Novocaine! One’s about clones, colonization, and so much more while the other’s about love and ugh, violence.

After all the clones and the broken bones, how did we all feel? Tune in to find out!

We’re diving into Black Bag and Opus, two films that sparked some serious conversation! From unexpected plot twists to deep dives into themes of trust, love, and the darker side of ambition, these films gave us plenty to talk about.

Tune in to hear our takes, explore the complexities of both films, and discover which one we couldn’t stop thinking about.
