That Thing You Do!
I wonder what happened to the Wonders? Tom Hanks wrote and directed exactly one movie, and it's a perfect little ode to the one-hit wonder.

Scream!
Do you like scary movies? Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson made horror self-aware in 1996, and we're heading back to Woodsboro to see if Scream still cuts deep 30 years later. We get into the Drew Barrymore fake-out, Randy's rules, Matthew Lillard going fully unhinged, the killer reveal, and why not one adult in this town makes a good decision. Whatever you do, don't say "I'll be right back."

Primal Fear
Edward Norton shows up in his very first movie role and takes the whole thing from Richard Gere's slick lawyer Martin Vail. Was there ever really a Roy? We won't spoil it, but we will argue about whether that ending makes the movie, and how anyone knew which VHS tape to grab.

Mission Impossible
Your mission, should you choose to accept it: rewatch Brian De Palma's Mission: Impossible with us and try to figure out what the hell is actually happening in that vault scene. Tom Cruise dangles, Jon Voight lurks, Jean Reno smokes, Ving Rhames types, and Emmanuelle Béart is up to something — we untangle the plot (allegedly), talk about how this launched a three-decade franchise on the back of one iconic set piece, and ask whether anyone in 1996 actually followed the double-crosses on first wat

Kingpin
Is this the best bowling comedy in film history? Is it the ONLY bowling comedy in film history? Is it a worthy middle child to the Farrelly brothers' 90s run that starts Dumb and Dumber and after this goes to There's Something About Mary?

Jerry Maguire
We revisit Jerry Maguire and try to figure out why it's still so endlessly rewatchable nearly three decades on. From the iconic setup and its surprising R-rated origins, to Cuba Gooding Jr.'s scene-stealing turn as Rod Tidwell, to the question of whether anyone but Tom Cruise could have carried this movie — we dig into the runtime debates, the awards legacy, and the deep bench of casting wins (Renée Zellweger, Regina King) that Cameron Crowe assembled. A love letter, a rewatch, and an honest bre
