Pete and Trevor (and special guests Justin and Anthony) went to see the Ryan Coogler original vampire period piece Sinners in glorious 70mm IMAX.

Written and director by Coogler (his best effort to date), Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as the “Smokestack Twins”, with supporting performances by Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, and Delroy Lindo. The movie was scored by Ludwig Göransson, and filmed by Autumn Durald Arkapaw, in what is one of the best sounding and looking movies of the decade.

Listen for our immediate reactions after leaving the theatre, including our summary of some technical problems with the film reel at the Vaughan Cineplex in Toronto.

Take a swig of applejack, strap on your snowshoes and spit in your spittoons, because Pete and Trevor saw Hundreds of Beavers. The independent comedy was made for just $150,000 but may be one of the most original comedies ever made. Listen for our immediate reactions to the film (and please watch this movie!).

This episode also marks the end of Project Aardman as we discuss Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. As we say goodbye to the stop-motion animation studio, we provide our rankings of their feature films.

Have you seen John Wick? What about The Equalizer? Or even The Beekeeper? Well, you are ready to take on David Ayer’s A Working Man, starring Jason Statham (and not really David Harbour and Michael Peña). That’s right, Pete and Trevor rolled up their sleeves and saw A Working Man. Listen for our immediate spoiler-free reactions after leaving the theatre.

This week continues our ongoing Project Aardman with A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon, plus all Aardman shorts from 2009 - 2024. Join us next week for our discussion on Chicken Run 2 and the conclusion of Project Aardman.

Pete and Trevor, AKA Talley and Watchy, join Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey to see the new live-action Disney remake Snow White. Starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, this is a remake and reimagining of the 1939 animated classic. In a world full of bad remakes, this might be the worst. Listen to hear our immediate reactions after leaving the theatre.

This week we continue with our ongoing project to watch every Aardman movie with Shaun the Sheep and Early Man.

Pete and Trevor saw Steven Soderbergh’s Black Bag, but they aren’t really allowed to talk about it, and each of them is suspicious that the other may be compromised and working for another podcast. Things get weird.

They also returned to their ongoing project to watch every Aardman film. This week they discussed Peter Lord’s Pirates! movie, and Aardman’s short films from 1996-2008, including A Matter of Loaf and Death. Tune in next week for Shaun the Sheep and Early Man.

Pete and Trevor, or maybe their clones, saw Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s highly anticipated follow up to 2019’s Parasite. Robert Pattinson stars as the titular(s) Mickey, along with Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Anamaria Vartolomei, Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo.

This week we continue our exploration of everything Aardman with Arthur Christmas. Tune in next week for our deep dive on Aardman shorts, including A Matter of Loaf and Death, and Pirates! In An Adventure with Scientists.
