A classic American punk, bizarre movie, Repo Man defines genres to create a movie that could have only been made during the '80s. We follow suburban punk Otto (Emilio Estevez) as he gets recruited to…

Won't you be my Blue Valentine? The boys watch the "romantic" Blue Valentine for Valentine's Day. It stars Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams as two people who fell madly in love. In fact, it has one…
Locked Down is the first "full" movie to be released during the COVID-19 pandemic. Did you notice how I mentioned during and not after? This movie comes out so quickly to comment on the lockdown, yet…
We Can Be Heroes is the latest kids movie from Robert Rodriguez and is actually a sequel/set in the same universe as Sharkboy and Lavagirl. (which we watched!) Weirdly it has almost nothing to do wit…
