Show Notes
“Based on a true story” movies: some love them, some hate them. In recent years, these movies have become more cookie-cutter and cliché leading some people to lose interest in the entire concept. Then comes the subject of today’s review, ‘Roofman’, a movie that proves not all “based on a true story” concepts are created equal.
This one focuses on a fugitive who makes his living robbing fast food restaurants and lives within a Toys ‘R’ Us. With a critically acclaimed director Derek Cianfrance at the helm and a cast that includes Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, Lakeith Stanfield, and others, there are plenty of reasons to view this movie with optimism. In our spoiler-free Roofman review, we’ll let you know if that optimism is valid or misplaced.

Since the rise of superhero films in the 2000s and 2010s, we’ve gotten a lot of different types of superhero movies. We’ve even gotten supervillain movies. But we’ve never had a supervillain horror movie like this one.
Some are calling it a masterpiece while others call it a disaster. Either way, what happened with Digger is a debacle worthy of unpacking.
You Can See Everything, the new documentary from Nathan Fielder, Lance Oppenheim, and A24, is unlike anything we’ve ever SEEN (get it?). So, it calls for an episode that is a little different than we’ve ever done.
It’s not an overstatement to say The Social Network is one of the great movies of the 21st century. Not only was it an extremely well-made film thanks to the combined genius of David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin but it also has become more relevant with time as all the great films do.
If you grew up in the 90s like us, chances are you walked by “Tremors” in Blockbuster or Family Video on more than one occasion. The cult classic creature feature starring Kevin Bacon was a 90s cable mainstay and still somehow, none of us had ever seen it.
