A podcast from two cousins who grew up watching movies together. We watch new movies, re-watch classics from earlier times in our life, and cover movies/franchises that others may have seen that we have never watched. The question we ask at the end of the epsidoe is Do We like this Movie?

Bee our victim.. (Get it?!)
This week we decided to jump on the hype of last week's trailer release for the Candyman sequel/remake and review the 1992 Bernard Rose/Clive Barker classic starring horror icon Tony Todd.
The film revolves around the character of Helen Lyle who along with her best friend/colleague Bernadette Walsh are researching the urban legend of the Candyman who is known to haunt the now-defunct Cabrini-Green Projects in Chicago.
Shockingly progressive in some ways, while cringe-inducingly exploitative in others, this 90s horror classic proves that it is worth revisiting and ripe for a new take from a fresh perspective.

No one is more shocked by us reaching 50 Episodes than... Us.
We wanted to do something special and break from the regular format of the show. Each of us put together a list of 5 movies where they are either not highly regarded, hated, or liked for different reasons than you would imagine and explained why you should watch it. Please join us for this special episode and thank you for keeping us motivated to continue churning out new episodes.

The Roger Moore Era,
This is the one era of Bond that neither of your hosts is too familiar with. That said, we were ready to turn the page on Sean Connery after Diamonds Are Forever's awful phoned in performance.
The Iconography of Bond is on full display here with a Car that turns into a submarine, and famed metal mouthed Bond henchmen, Jaws. This story follows Bond as he teams up with a beautiful Soviet Agent known as Triple X (GET IT?! It's SEX) to save the world from the megalomaniacal evil villain, Stromberg.

Following the mixed response to On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the producers of the Bond series attempted a hard course correction, by dumping George Lazenby for the ever aging Sean Connery.
Despite featuring maybe the greatest theme song by Shirley Bassey which most millennials remember because it was sampled by Kanye West in the 00s, this may be one of the worst enteries in the entire series.
Much like an old Pro Wrestler making a return for a WrestleMania payday, Connery was way past his prime, and this series way past its relevance in the 1970s. It's no surprise that this is the end of Connery's run as Iam Flemming's secret agent. That said, Do We Like Diamonds Are Forever? Download our new episode to find out!

This never happened to the other fellow...
In 1969, James Bond experienced one of the earliest soft reboots in film history. This 1969 film takes many risks, chief among them being the replacement of film icon Sean Connery with a chocolate commercial actor by the name of George Lazenby.
He is unique in that he is the only actor in this series that plays James Bond only once. This film also features Tracy, the Bond girl who would infamously be the woman who finally ties down 007. Don't be fooled by her distinction as a Bond Girl, she is every bit the co-star of this movie. More serious in tone and the brilliant recasting of Blofeld carry this film through the most inconic Bond chase on the slopes of the Swiss Alps. Join us as we discuss this film!

Do expect us to watch?
No, Mr. Bond. We expect you to die. We kick off our James Bond series with the third film in the James Bond cannon. It revolves around 007 trying to save the world from the criminal mastermind who plans to radiate all the gold in Ft. Knox so that it loses its value. The movie is as wild as that last sentence. Join us as we get in the Aston Martin and do battle with the Austrian villain with an affinity for gold, and his henchmen with the weaponized hat for this week’s film.

Dead or alive you’re coming with us.
Our first new episode of 2020 takes us back to a dystopian 80s future of this Paul Verhoven masterpiece. We follow Alex Murphy, a New Detroit police officer who is murdered and them gets turned to a cybernetic super cop.
While appearing shallow on the outside this film actually explores themes of capitalism, wealth disparities, violence and gentrification.

We are EEEEEVILLLLLLL!
To close out our first year of the show, we are covering one of the lesser remembered holiday horror films from the 80s that came after the massive success of Halloween (1978).
In this film, an LA DJ/Party Show host(?) is hosting a big New Year's Eve punk concert while also receiving phone calls from a serial killer who announces he will commit a murder at midnight in all the US time zones.
Shorter in length than our usual episodes, but hopefully just as entertaining. Thanks for following the podcast in our first year, and lets keep it going into 2020!
