With the Americanized remake in theaters and Oscar season in full swing, I thought it would be the perfect time to finally finish watching the best movie I’ve never seen in its entirety. Beware: this episode is more spoiler heavy than usual.

Debt to Cinema 010: THX 1138
With less than a month remaining until the continuation of George Lucas’s Star Wars Saga, Steve thought it would be fitting to review the filmmaker’s directing debut. Get ready for something on the stranger side of science fiction.
Two Cents 022: Common Creativity
The episode in which we publish under Creative Commons, talk about Vin Diesel’s expanding movie universes, Memento getting a remake, Figment VR, Robert Rodriguez’s film that won’t be seen until 2115, Edgar Wright trying his hand at animation, Hasbro putting My Little Pony on the big screen, Joaquin Phoenix + Casey Affleck, Top Gun 2, Max Landis getting a show on Syfy, and Amazon’s improved screenwriting tools. Plus, reviews for Edward Scissorhands, Iron Man, King Kong, Gravity, The Killing, Monster’s University, Monster’s Inc., The Little Prince, Winnebago Man, Stories We Tell, Marvel’s Jessica Jones, and Man in the High Castle.
Debt to Cinema 008: Witness
This week we watched the critical darling of 1985 that really launched Harrison Ford’s career. One liners, chin beards, cute kittens – this fish out of water film basically has it all. I was trying to come up with a blurb as corny as Steve’s intro, but maize-be thats not possible.
Two Cents 020: When Duty Calls
The episode in which we talk about #ForceForDaniel, Jon Stewart coming to HBO, the streaming only Star Trek series, Activision creating a film division, Sony making another Steig Larson movie, Duncan Jones’s Warcraft and Mute, Key and Peele voicing a stop motion flick, Shane Carruth’s next project’s crazy, good cast, and the Luther TV movie. Plus, reviews for Spectre, The Peanuts Movie, Man From Reno, Irreversible, and Netflix’s Master of None.
Debt to Cinema 007: Following
The first selection in my self proclaimed, soft reboot of the show is something I’ve been meaning to watch for 4.5 years. You know when Criterion releases a flick there is something special about it, and this neo noir is no exception. Don’t let this one sit on the shelf like me, digital or otherwise #IdBuyThatForADollar …again
Debt to Cinema 001: High Noon
The first episode in our new show that is dedicated to reviewing films either one or the both of us has never seen.
This week we are crossing off a quintessential classic from Steve’s list of shame, the real time Western that defies genre.
Two Cents 013: ‘Tis the Season
The Emmy free episode in which we talk about the death of Silent Bob, Transformers 5 possibly getting Michael Bay back, biopics starring JGL inspired by docs, films that are personal experiences, the hits at TIFF, Pacific Rim 2, POV movies, Hollywood betting big on China, directors being hired for political reasons, Amazon’s 4K Fire TV, and I final feel like watching scary movies + baby reviews for The Visit and Project Almanac.
S2E14: Ant-Man
We’ve seen what happens when known comic book properties make the jump to the big screen, but how about a microscopic hero that most are oblivious to? Despite production snafus and everything going against it, has Marvel pulled off the genre within a genre trick?
