Ryan and Bev Ellis are partners in film nerdery who share their often humorous musings on the AFI's 1998 & 2007 lists of the greatest 100 American films ever made. But we finished with that in December 2015, so now we just review anything we feel like!
We end 2019 with a show about our favourites of the year and our year in podcasting. The bulk of the episode though highlights our faves of the past decade. In this Next 177 Project, we count from 10…
Before you see Greta Gerwig's take on Louisa May Alcott’s classic feminist novel, gobble up our chat about Gillian Armstrong's 25-year-old version. The Next 176 Project throws a big hug around Winona…
Chevy Chase and Randy Quaid might repel people with their off-screen antics, but they and the rest of this cast do some terrific comic work in National Lampoon's 30-year-old holiday hit. The Next 175…
The Next 174 Project is a dandy of an episode as we rage on about slavery, racism, offensive words…and all of it in what ended up being Quentin Tarantino's biggest hit. He wasn’t at his best in this …
Puppet your way into our portals for a lot more than 15 minutes as the Next 173 Project does some Malkoviching. This pic is remarkably creative and it's often high-larious. It’s also one of the weird…
We’re back after a week off as we chat about the iconic Muppets in their first movie. The Next 172 Project raves about the incredible puppetry and voice-work by Jim Henson, Frank Oz and their cohorts…
To honour Veterans/Remembrance Day, the Next 171 Project harkens back to the Gulf War to dig into the rare war comedy that succeeds at both being funny AND shooting stuff up. Writer/director David O.…
Gabourey Sidibe's debut and Mo'Nique's outstanding performance (which won her a gold naked guy) are easily the highlights of the character study that is the subject of the Next 170 Project. Neither o…
The judgmental jerkholes who host the Next 169 Project want to play a game. That's great! Games are fun. Or maybe this game is over-stuffed with often illogical twists and it spawned a gore-filled fr…
The Next 168 Project spends a lot of time ripping on Brad Pitt’s lackluster performance as a glum vampire, which is a shame because we're normally big fans of his work. But, hey, he’s the whiny plant…
Whatever you do, don’t…fall…asleep. Well, at least stay awake until you've heard the Next 167 Project. Then sleep all you want. We continue our 4th Annual Scary Movie Month and jump to the excellent …
Activate your power tools, horror fans, because Scary Movie Month is here! For the Next 166 Project, we drive our van down to the deep south to discuss one creepy and weird fright flick. As influenti…
Ten hut, you maggots! Wait, this isn’t a movie about boot camp, although the award-winning performance by J.K. Simmons might make you think it is. It’s not even a sports film, although it certainly d…
Nobody puts the Next 164 Project in a corner because that would be stupid and inaccurate. It’s not a corner! There’s a lot of discussion about that terrible line in this episode, plus there’s more si…
Bonjour, nos amis! Auteur Jean Renoir’s beloved French classic is the subject of the Next 163 Project. This is the rare film that actually gets better as it goes along. Jolly Renoir himself is a big …
“Controversy Month” wraps up with the Next 162 Project as we analyze the greatest of the classic 007 flicks. Beloved as it is (especially by the AFI), it’s also troublesome because of James Bond’s st…
Darren Aronofsky's polarizing, unsubtle allegory about Mother Nature represents the peak of our “Controversy Month”. Indeed, a lot of people hate this title(!). The Next 161 Project plows into this f…
"Controversy Month" begins with this Next 160 Project podcast as we cover a clumsy flick about a virulent racist learning to respect at least 1 (brilliant) black person. Green Book was popular with a…
Our final episode in July digs into what might be Ron Howard’s most personal film. For the Next 159 Project, we dig fairly deep into a dramedy with a fantastic ensemble cast and a top-notch screenpla…
With respect to The Secret In Their Eyes, Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece (?) was the best foreign-language film of 2009. It was probably the best film of 2009, period. This 158th helping of Next 100…
