This year we decided to let the dust settle a little and then look back at our Best Picture Nominees.
So, that's what we did. We watched all of them in one week.
Now, here is what we thought.
Also, Jim screwed up and didn't actually release this two weeks ago, like he thought.

Dune 2

Friday Mar 15, 2024
For decades, Dune has kind of been the white whale of science fiction filmmaking. Yeah, the 1984 version was interesting... Children of Dune is.... best not mentioned...
Let's take a trip back to Arrakis and see just how well they can pull this off.

Oppenheimer

Saturday Mar 09, 2024
Christopher Nolan writing and directing an epic historical biopic about the controversial father of the atomic bomb J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Just saying it lets you know, we are through the looking glass here, people. So, what do we get when one of the most visually interesting, narrative challenging filmmakers, who delivers with a rare level of consistency with one of the most controversial, fascinating, and consequential people who ever lived?
You get a movie with a ton of well earned praise.

I can't think of a film series that we have had a more interesting experience with than the Creed movies.
From dismissive, to excited, to completely won over... these three movies did the unimaginable. They made Rocky relevant again.
Three movies...
Creed was perfect.
Creed 2 was amazing.
Now, lets see how we fell about the first Rocky movie, without Rocky.

Beyond The Mat

Sunday Feb 11, 2024
We end our look at the world of wrestling with an actual documentary, made by an actual documentary filmmaker.
"Beyond The Mat," well produced, well financed documentary that not only had unprecedented access to the WWF (still a Federation at the time), but had an actual theatrical release (yes, Jim actually saw this in the theater).
So, lets close out this chapter in style.
