Have You Ever Seen
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!

Oscars Preview 2019
Awards Season is almost at an end, so it's high time for the Next 139 Project to talk about the terrific movie year that it was in 2018. Strangely, though, many of the Oscar nominees aren’t so terrif…
Driving Miss Daisy
There's no point in pussy-footing around it. We think Driving Miss Daisy is cutesy crap. The Next 138 Project delves deep into this poor choice for the Academy's Best Picture of 1989 as we analyze th…
The Hurt Locker
Addict yourself to war and to the Next 137 Project by defusing bombs in Baghdad and by listening to us talk about that dicey topic. The huge Oscar success of 10 years ago might be the best picture ev…
Hereditary
Hail, the Next 136 Project! Hail! We’ve got a super-duper-sized episode this week, one that takes us into the shattered heart of a family in demonic crisis. This is another insta-classic frightfest i…
A History Of Violence
Activate Joey mode! The Next 135 Project takes us to Tinytown Indiana as we delve into what makes a staggeringly good man return to his vicious mobster roots. Viggo Mortensen was just hitting his str…
Heathers
The 30-year-old satire about high-school bullying is our 134th Next 100 Project episode as we begin the 4th Annual Month O’ Bev. A very young Winona Ryder is impressively self-possessed in one of her…
Elf
Joyous Christmas Eve and such from the Elliseseseses as we explore Will Ferrell with his comedy phasers set on hilarious in this Next 133 Project podcast. This is a textbook example of an actor doing…
Mary Poppins
It's the one about Sharry Bobbins! The Next 132 Project gets into all of our complaints about this over-long and plot-flimsy Disney favourite. We just don't have the same enthusiasm critics and crowd…
A Simple Plan
With this 131st Next 100 Project episode, we dig into what at least one of us thinks is Sam Raimi’s best work. Bill Paxton was never better and Billy Bob Thornton & Bridget Fonda are terrific too in …
Bicycle Thieves
The Next 130 Project takes us back to post-WWII Italy as we gaze at director Vittorio De Sica's piece de resistance. The amateur actors (Lamberto Maggiorani and Enzo Staiola) are just as good as any …
On Golden Pond
The Next 129 Project marks 275 episodes in total for the Elliseseseses (although we’re getting close to 300 overall on this channel) and this one looks back at The Old Coots & The Kid Up At The Lake.…
Lost In America
Next 100 Project ep #128 gives us a nice turn on the "they went looking for America and instead found themselves" angle. Albert Brooks' yuks riot slips in clever commentary on the entitlement of peop…
The Producers
Episode 127 in the Next 100 Project focuses on another comedy, this time EGOT winner Mel Brooks’ crass comedy classic. Zero Mostel & Gene Wilder are loud (especially Mostel) and their characters are …
Wag The Dog
This is something, piece of cake! It’s a day before the mid-terms, so it’s time for the Next 126 Project to get all political again. Actually, the vitriol is pretty muted this time. We focus on the f…
Rosemary's Baby
The Next 125 Project is our final choice in Scary Movie Month and it’s got us yapping about the big bad red guy for the 2nd week in a row. While Ruth Gordon’s Oscar-winning work feels a little silly …
The Witch
The Next 124 Project digs very deep into a movie that audiences didn’t appreciate the way film nerds and movie critics did. Beautiful to look at, well-acted (archaic language and all) and dense with …
The Birds
The Next 123 Project flies back 55 years to tackle our 7th Hitchcock thriller. This isn’t Hitch’s finest work (nor his finest hour from a #metoo standpoint) and Tippi Hedren is subpar as one of the l…
It Follows
The 122nd edition of the Next 100 Project is our 1st of 4 consecutive horror pictures in Scary Movie Month. It's also the 1st episode that was recorded in our new house! You'll definitely notice (and…
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof
The Newman/Taylor love (well, hate) fest is the order of the day in the Next 121 Project. The Mississippi-living Pollitt family fuss and feud for the entire movie, but Newman’s booze-chugging Brick i…
Red River
Tear off your hat and shout “YEEHAW” for the Next 120 Project, an episode which could be subtitled “The Wrath Of Tom”. Maybe he has so much wrath because of all the impossible-to-miss homosexual unde…
