This week, after a bit of a break for our live show for the 48 hour film project in Pittsburgh, we are back to look at a filmmaker that has managed to constantly merge genres with a massive talent in using all the tools of the trade to visually tell a story. We're talking about Edgar Wright. The filmmaker behind Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Baby Driver. A technical wizard and a master of filmmaking choreography. However, a massive talent like Edgar Wright requires a massive talent to assist in the review, so we are joined by fellow film podcaster, Sophia Ricciardi of MOVIESTRUCK! We pull back the curtain to take a hard look at this filmmaker and attempt to answer the question....can John come up with a million dollar catch phrase like "snoochie boochies" to include in Brian's next film.

The Ladykillers (2004) - Movie Review - Episode 268
This week after our descent into the Breenpocalypse (seriously check episode 267 for our therapy session) we needed a serious pallete cleanser. For us that came in the form of the 2004 film, The Ladykillers. Deridded by critics and fans of the often celebrated Cohen Brothers, this remake of the 1955 british comedy about criminals robbing a casino by tunnelling through an elderly woman's basement is chock full of so many off the wall and darkly comedic moments. From the need for waffles, Tom Hank's doing his best Foghorn Leghorn impression, to a yet to be super famous J.K Simmons stealing scenes as the demolition expert with IBS, Garth Pancake.
But does this movie deserve the hate or is this an under appreciated gem that has grown better with age? We'll find out today!

Jack And Jill (2011) With The Silver Linings Playlist Podcast - Episode 270
This week's movie is one that we have actively avoided since 2016. This week, we are tackling, with the help of Dustin and Nathan of The Silver Lining's Playlist Podcast, 2011's Jack & Jill. A movie so bad that it hurts our brains. Why does this movie suck so bad you might ask? Could it be the fact that Adam Sandler plays a female version of himself who's running gag is farting and pooping in every scene? Could it be the MASSIVE amounts of product placement that make this film feel like the bumper of a Nascar race car? Or could it be the sheer level of racist stereotypes and jokes that weren't ok in 2011 let alone in 2023? Well swig some Pepto Bismal folks, cause this one is gonna be a bumpy ride.
THE SILVER LININGS PLAYLIST PODCASTCheck out Nathan, Dustin, and Mallie over at The Silver Lining's Playlist Podcast where they try to find the silver lining to cinema's most bleak films.
