This week’s selection was a double dipping for me – was more interested in crossing something off my Halloween list than anything I really had shame about. Was pretty scary too, the recording, not the film, when I started fearing it would be the last one I could ever see.

Debt to Cinema 003: All That Jazz
For reasons that escape me currently I decided to go against the grain and select something outside of the horror genre this week. I wanted something that neither of us had seen. Sometimes you get more than you bargained for.
S2E23: The Walk
As a special treat for one of Steve’s final days in California, we drove out to Hollywood to catch this latest spectacle in the TCL Chinese Theater’s laser projected IMAX 3D auditorium. A one of a kind movie palace which is fitting for the feat that was recreated for the biopic. If only the film was as special as our environment was that day.
Debt to Cinema 002: Kingdom of Heaven (Director’s Cut)
This weeks selection was made by Steve for purely superficial and selfish reasons; however, despite my general disliking of epics, I found myself really surprised and engaged by this spectacle. It has a great message at its core about the holy land that shouldn’t be missed.
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.
S2E22: American Ultra
Despite its marketing, this psuedo-stoner, Bourne-esque, political satire romance flick is sorely lacking in the laughs department.
S2E21: Straight Outta Compton
When something happens in South Central Los Angeles nothing happens… they just film a biopic. Listen to me and Steve praise this lengthy hip hop drama about West Coast legends.
S2E20: Fantastic Four
What happens when some unproven director who got lucky with his debut tries to tackle Marvel’s first family with a dark, downbeat tone? Listen to me rage and Steve try to protect this failure in our most heated review yet.
S2E19: Shaun The Sheep Movie
A surprise, silent, spin-off, fun for the whole family treat that sadly won’t be watched by many in a year dominated by big budgets.
S2E18: Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation
Tom Cruise proves once again that nothing is impossible for him when he has badass theme music, the question is: should you still care?
