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!
The Next 119 Project has us spitting nails about the horrendous presidency of George W. Bush, as documented (mostly accurately?) by America’s Provocateur-In-Chief Michael Moore. As dreadful as things…
The 3rd and final waste of our time in "Movies We Hate Month" smacks the taste out of one of the biggest box-office successes of all time. Jim Cameron's "save the trees" sci-fi extravaganza is pretty…
The 2nd week in “Movies We Hate Month” digs deep into a very shallow rom-com. The Next 117 Project gleefully hacks on this McConaughey/Hudson tripe, which—bad as it is—really just represents all the …
The Next 116 Project staggers back 8 short months to re-look at Guillermo Del Toro’s Oscar-nabbing smash. The Fish F*%^er didn’t touch us as deeply the first time we peeped at it the way it did for s…
We’re going back to when times were pleasant (well, for a certain type of person they were) in our Next 115 Project podcast. Tobey Maguire and the high-larious Reese Witherspoon headline the tremendo…
Chris Walken has a premonition that the Next 114 Project is a complex episode. Both the 1st half's murder mystery and the 2nd half's future-president-turned-madman angle resonate today....probably mo…
The Joker dominates the Next 113 Project (which is as it should be) as we spend nearly an hour jawing about the greatest superhero movie of ’em all. Or is it? The flick sure isn’t perfect, although H…
Get your A.I. butler to help you strap on your gold-titanium-alloy suit as the Next 112 Project podcast digs moderately deep into a superhero revenge story. RDJ had already made his comeback before t…
The Next 111 Project is our last podcast in June and the movie is a (mostly) jovial cartoon noir. Full marks to Bob Hoskins for selling that the toons are really there, but the main event here are th…
Grease is the 110th effort in the Next 100 Project series and this was not an easy movie to review. As popular as it was and still is, the Travolta/OLJ singathon’s story and characters can’t keep up …
This 25-year-old monster movie game-changer that, for a while, was the biggest blockbuster ever. Steven Spielberg has made better films (character-wise, especially), but the technical wizardry and ac…
The 108th dip into the Next 100 Project pond takes us into the world of Reality Television and the fake world of Truman Burbank. Our podcasts spend a lot of time praising fine films, but this is trul…
The 107th installment of the Next 100 Project is Paul Newman at his early-60’s peak. Patricia Neal and Melvyn Douglas won Oscars for their strong performances (ol’ Paulie News did not) and Brandon de…
Laugh big (HAHAHAHAHA!) as you drink in the Next 106 Project podcast. Errol Flynn is the perfect Robin Hood in the eyes of a lot of people. Bev, however, didn’t agree with that sentiment or all the c…
Our 105th Next 100 Project podcastaroo goes back to Philly as the son of The Count Of Monte Fisto punches his way into the elderly Eye-talian Stallion’s lonely life. Michael B. Jordan is strong as Ad…
It’s the Top 100 Project's 250th episode! (please clap) But this is the Next 104 Project and it takes us back into the dark world of serial killing as Charlize Theron dominates in one of the best per…
In the most logical move in film history, Charlton Heston plays a Mexican (cue the hilarity!) in our 103rd Next 100 Project endeavour. He’s actually pretty good and Janet Leigh is also strong in a di…
For the 102nd Next 100 Project podcast (and our 248th podcast overall), we dive into “Fred” Hitchcock’s supposedly favourite movie with all its squirm-inducing sexual innuendo. This flick has some of…
The 101st edition of the Next 100 Project (yup, 101 out of 100) delves into humour and romance and also Ryan’s passion, having poetry read to him while tied up. Wait…no! Baseball! The performances in…
The Next 100 Project reaches episode #100 and we do it with an in-depth pre-Easter chat about a life-changing Jesus movie. Willem Dafoe is galvanizing as the Big Guy in Marty Scorsese’s passion proje…
