  • Arrival
    Mar 26 2026
    Paul and Amy make first contact with Denis Villeneuve’s quietly mind-bending sci-fi about language, time, and the choices that shape a life. They trace the film’s journey from Ted Chiang’s Story of Your Life to the screen, unpacking how screenwriter Eric Heisserer turned a cerebral short story into a $200M hit and why Amy Adams’ performance still feels criminally underrated a decade later.

  • Project Hail Mary
    Mar 23 2026
    Paul and Amy drop an emergency episode to blast off with Project Hail Mary, the rare big-swing sci-fi that Ryan Gosling leads with charisma, heart, and a whole lot of hope. They break down Gosling’s turn as a very unprepared hero, the emotional pull of his unlikely bond with Rocky, Sandra Hüller’s commanding presence, and why this Spielberg-esque adventure feels like a throwback in the best way.

  • Sinners
    Mar 19 2026
    Paul and Amy head down to the juke joint for Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s genre-bending swing through 1930s Mississippi where blues, blood, and family ties collide. They break down Michael B. Jordan’s dual turn as twin cousins, the breakout presence of Miles Caton, and a stacked ensemble to unpack how Coogler weaves horror with history.

I love listening to Paul and Amy really dig into movies. I recently discovered the podcast and am now about 50 episodes in. I was truly excited that they continued beyond the AFI 100 and can't wait to see how the format changes. They are somewhat pedantic at times and get on their soapboxes but, honestly, that's what I come for. A discussion with friends about movies, not something sterile and bland. I want crazy opinions and weird thoughts and tangents connecting to other movies. Even the silly suppositions and rumors and conspiracy theories about old Hollywood.

Paul and Amy break it down

Overly long, very slow starts so expect to skip a bunch before they actually get to talking about the films. Tried a few, last one I had to skip about 17 minutes before they really talked about the film.

Expected analysis, break downs, or something other than them just a lot of them saying "oh I liked this part".

Their "takes" come off as very amateurish which is weird because I know they know a lot about film. It's just weird when they say something that makes you wonder if they even saw the film.

Total meh.
