We've alluded to our love of this movie for a long time... It's time to look 2 minutes ahead, and talk about the incomparable NEXT.

Nicolas Cage stars as Shy, Socially Awkward Nicolas Cage. Usually that would work, for some reason it doesn't here. Director Lee Tamahori, who has proven himself as an incredibly talented director, also seems to be having an off day. Jessica Biel and Julianne Moore are there to raise the bar, but can't save this movie from itself.

It's a real mystery why this movie doesn't work and yet is one of the most enjoyable films in history. Greg and Joe can't stop watching and talking about it.... So where is the magic that makes this amazing? They find that one of their favorite editors, Christian Wagner, brought much of the magic. Cinematographer David Tattersall does some arresting work. Production designer William Sandell brings his A-Game. Writer Gary Goldman wrestled with tough source material, and brought some contemporary ideas to the script. Great people, above and below the line, make this a sneakily great movie, one that we will rewatch forever.

We do a lot of episodes for them. This one is for us.

This week, a love letter to Tony Scott’s patriotic, time-twisting thriller Déjà Vu. Denzel Washington stars as ATF agent Doug Carlin, who investigates a New Orleans ferry explosion—and stumbles into a government surveillance program that somehow also doubles as a time machine with excellent satellite coverage.

It’s part detective story, part love story, 100 percent Tony Scott energy: orange filters, low flying helicopters, Val Kilmer squinting, and an SUV that literally drives into the past.

Greg and Joe learn something about themselves along the way.
