We transition into a new theme for the month of March, Epic Romance Films. In this retrospective we'll be watching and discussing some of the most talked about, most audacious, and debatably overated films of this genre. We kick things off with the 2004 timeless Nicholas Sparks adapted novel, 'The Notebook' staring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. The hosts have some very different opinions on this film, but the question that really matters, at the end of the day do we save this film from destruction in the firery asteroid apocalpse for future generations to adore and experience? Or do we let it burn to never be seen again? Write in to us and let us know what you think of this film. We'd love to share your opinions on the show!

Nathan, Eli, Bee, and Sam plunge into a daring rescue mission. Amidst the chaos of a fiery asteroid apocalypse, their sole objective is to salvage the lifeblood of cinema. They are the last gatekeepers, deciding which films from season 1 are worthy to be enshrined in their sacred Vault and which are to be cast into the fiery abyss. The selection is ruthless - majority rules. Their mission grows intense with each movie they assess, heated debates sparking and subsiding like the flames of the approaching doom.
An unprecedented twist takes them on a detour into a nostalgic look back at the Steven Spielberg retrospectives and the intriguing glimpse into the mystic world of '80s neo-noir'. The journey is not without its absurdity and hilarity, especially when one of them confesses to only having watched half a movie for a previous review! As they toy with the fate of beloved classics like ‘Gremlins’ and modern favorites like ‘John Wick Chapter 4’, they are forced to make tough choices.
Will your favorite movie survive the ruthless selection and find its forever home in the Vault? Join our intrepid hosts in this riveting bonus episode for a rollercoaster ride through cinema.

Bonus Episode: Movie Musings and Remembrance of Departed Stars

We pay tribute to Carl Weathers and director Norman Jewison, both of whom passed away recently. We wrap up the discussion by exploring upcoming trailers, including 'The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare', 'Back to Black', and pondering the pronunciation of the word 'biopic'.

They dive deep into the themes of mortality, belief in God versus atheism/agnosticism, and rugged survivalism. An argument arises over the effectiveness of the movie's exploration of masculinity; while some hosts connect with the characters and the existential philosophy of the film, others feel less emotionally impacted. The decisions to add The Grey to their vault for future generations or purge it are mixed, making for a lively discussion.

We have retitled our bonus episodes "Movie Musings" since this is the place where we share what we've been watching over the past week. This is also where we will post content unrelated to our main movie reviews, such as film news, movie drafts, top 10 lists, and all sorts of shenanigans.

In this episode Bee, Eli and Nathan share what they've been watching this past week. Nathan discovered a whole new ad-free streaming service he didn't know loaded with amazing titles. He also binged through Fargo season 1. Eli and Nathan both share their love for the new Seth MacFarlane series 'Ted' streaming on Peacock. Bee caught up with 'Zone of Interest', a film somehow even more depressing then 'Society of the Snow' and is in the midst of a rewatch of 'The Sopranos'. All that and more!
