The Basics Flick — Reservoir Dogs Six — Beer Tree Trippy Tree Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsReservoir dogs keeps you locked in that room from start to finish regardless of the number of times you’ve seen it.  8/10 — AnthonyA sleek and stripped down version of the best of what Tarantino has to offer when he isn't getting in his own way: bad people saying and doing bad things to each other to try to get one over. 8/10? — AlBookmarks Six — 00:02:14 News & Nuggets — 00:11:53 Consumption — 01:08:02 Flick — 02:04:29

The Basics Flick — Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Six — Industrial Arts Impact Wrench Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsAs with many comedies, some bits don’t hold up, even so,Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is the perfect embodiment of a lost genre. 7/10— AnthonyA throwback comedy of the highest order. Laughs and heart and a solid hang all around. Caine & Martin are as unlikely a comedy duo as you can find and do not disappoint. 9/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:06:19 News & Nuggets — 00:14:40 Consumption — 01:19:33 Flick — 02:43:40

The Basics Flick — Death on the Nile (2022) Six — Grand Canyon Kachina Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsWith a pinch of mustache origin story, a dash of Egyptian ruin dry humping, and a big helping of bat shit crazy, Death on the Nile, although predictable for a murder mystery, is well worth the ride due to some truly on-point performances. 7/10 — AnthonyI forgot because I didn't write it in my notes. IDR/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:04:28 News & Nuggets — 00:17:14 Consumption — 01:06:15 Fun & Games — 01:36:27 Flick — 02:01:49

The Basics Flick — Free Guy Six — Four Peaks Brewing Kilt Lifter Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsFree guy starts as a silly, cutesy nostalgia driven pop-comedy and quickly levels up into an unexpectedly entertaining movie with a decent though generic story… catchphrase. 8/10 — AnthonyA surprisingly well thought out and fun ride. A video game movie done right, perhaps bc it's about the story around a game, but not based on one. 7.5/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:03:52 News & Nuggets — 00:22:27 Consumption — 01:17:20 Flick — 01:45:56

The Basics Flick — Oscar Talk Whisk — Waterford The Cuvée & Redbreast 15 Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi

The Basics Flick — The Batman Six — Alternate Ending Business is A-Boomin' Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsMatt Reeves manages to honor the spirit of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight, while creating his own unique on screen presence for The Batman, shining a light on the previously under-explored Detective. He gives us the hero we deserve, as well as the one we need right now. 8/10 — AnthonyDark, brooding, calculating: that describes Riddler, Batman, & The Batman at large. This finally gives us the detective Batman story we've all been waiting for on the big screen, along with some excellent story twists and action. 7.5/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:10:01 News & Nuggets — 00:17:16 Consumption — 00:41:04 Fun & Games — 01:28:27 Flick — 01:42:10

The Basics Flick — Nightmare Alley (2021) Six — Newburgh Litmus Test Vol. 5: Berry Delicious Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsA captivating yet harrowing neo-noir take on man architecting his own demise 7/10 — AnthonyDark and twisted, from the dark and twisted mind of Guillermo del Toro. A gripping tale with standout performances from the incredibly talented Cooper, Blanchett, Mara, Strathairn, & Jenkins. 8.5/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:03:47 News & Nuggets — 00:13:44 Fun & Games — 00:55:12 Consumption — 01:58:44 Flick — 02:17:52

The Basics Flick — The Power of the Dog Six — Cigar City Florida Cracker Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsY tho? 0/10 — AnthonyA long, slow, depressing, bland look at frontier life and depression. Come for the Cumberbatch performance, stay for precisely nothing else. 5.5/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:06:51 News & Nuggets — 00:21:33 Consumption — 00:56:34 Fun & Games — 01:59:23 Flick — 02:14:55

The Basics Flick — The Last Duel Six — Alternate Ending What If? Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Hot TakesA well crafted and immersive portrayal of a devastating yet fascinating piece of manipulated history. 8/10 — AnthonyA dour, depressing look at he said/she said through the lens of medieval greed, strife, and struggle. A vile tale, spiced up with Ridley Scott's talent for riveting and revolting swordplay. 7.5/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:01:32 News & Nuggets — 00:27:09 Consumption — 01:28:20 Fun & Games — 02:13:24 Flick — 02:25:13

The Basics Flick — Movie Title Six — Grand Canyon Prickly Pear Wheat Ale Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsVince Gillian presents John Wick 4: Home Alone. 8/10 — AnthonyPart Taken, part John Wick, part slapstick dark(?) comedy… this movie is fun! Where else can you see old ass Christopher Lloyd shotgunning henchmen. 7.5/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:18:58 News & Nuggets — 00:26:35 What We’re Consuming — 01:02:13 Fun & Games — 01:37:24 Flick — 01:50:32

The Basics Flick — Batman: The Long Halloween, Parts One & Two Six — Yonkers Buena Vista Brown Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsOne of the best and most influential Batman stories, with a few welcomed fresh changes, held back only slightly by its chosen animation style. 8/10 — AnthonySome confusing plot points can’t drag down an intriguing detective story and a compelling look at some major Batman characters in this adaptation of a classic Batman story. 7.5/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:00:52 News & Nuggets — 00:26:02 What We’re Consuming — 00:52:01 Fun & Games — 01:26:17 Flick — 01:35:59

The Basics Flick — The Eternals Six — Troegs When in Doubt Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsEternals is like a course you need to take for your degree that’s only offered once every 4 years. It’s time sensitive and no one really seems to be interested in being there. It’s the MCUs Justice League. 5/10 — AnthonyIt's fine… it wants to have fun sometimes. It wants to be really serious sometimes. It can't quite figure out how and when and why though. 6/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:02:59 News & Nuggets — 00:21:57 What We’re Consuming — 01:11:55 Fun & Games — 01:48:03 Flick — 02:00:55

The Basics Flick — Don't Look Up Six — DuClaw Funk Blueberry Citrus Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsHilarious, totally just a joke, nothing serious…. I’m not crying you’re crying. 7/10 — AnthonyCutting satire that probably leans just a touch too heavily on snark and overt sarcasm at times. Its message is fairly universal, even if delivered in a sublimely absurd way. Unfortunately, it presents as a depressing thesis moreso than the rallying cry it so wants to be. 6.5/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:02:35 News & Nuggets — 00:18:36 What We’re Consuming — 01:03:36 Fun & Games — 01:31:33 Flick — 01:37:36

The Basics Flick — The Matrix Resurrections Six — Newburgh Purrfect Wheat Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsA pretty cool idea completely bogged down by petty pop shots and a tired unoriginal outlook on society force fed as a breakthrough perspective. 6/10 — AnthonyA rehash? A refresh? A reboot? A requel? A sequel? It's all of these and more. What could, and probably should, have been a total disaster, instead, somehow miraculously yields something serviceable and fairly fun. The passionate crew of WCU (Wachowski Cinematic Universe) collaborators is the glue that holds this together. 7/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:01:50 News & Nuggets — 00:16:38 What We’re Watching — 00:34:28 Fun & Games — 01:12:49 Flick — 01:28:20

The Basics Flick — Spider-Man: No Way Home Six — Victory Cloud Walker Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsAn absolutely brilliant culmination of decades of super hero movies. Spider-man: Far From Home is far greater than the sum of its parts. 10/10 — AnthonyA triumph of writing and performance that gives rare heart and soul to both our heroes and villains. Legitimately affecting. Either the funniest dark movie or darkest funny movie I've seen in a while. 10/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:03:53 News & Nuggets — 00:16:14 Fun & Games — 00:44:35 Fun & Games — 01:03:40 Flick — 01:13:51

The Basics Flick — Just Friends Six — Alternate Ending Mando with no Name Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Hot TakesFew movies are laugh-out-loud funny every single time you watch them, while some of the cruder jokes and schticks may not age well, Just Friends will always hold a special place in my heart as my number 1 Christmas movie. 10/10 — AnthonyGet Anna Faris a retroactive Oscar for this one. 6.5/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:02:25 News & Nuggets — 00:21:10 What We’re Watching — 00:35:04 Flick — 01:57:45 Bobus Featurefette — 01:58:01

The Basics Flick — Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Six — Industrial Arts Metric Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsA wonderfully choreographed return to the origin story. 7/10 — AnthonyA fun ride that, mercifully gives us a new take on the superhero origin story, even if it succumbs to the expected CGI conflagration and weak villain of MCU rote. 6.5/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:16:31 News & Nuggets — 00:23:25 What We’re Watching — 00:45:04 Fun & Games — 01:22:41 Flick — 0136:42

The Basics Flick — Dune: Part One (2021) Six — Newburgh Winter Wonderland Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Hot TakesDune wildly exceeds the lower than low bar set by its predecessor. Unfortunately, this adaptation is a example that needs a trilogy, or at the very least more runtime to reach its full potential. 7/10 — AnthonyA breathless, exhilarating race to hand the baton… to part 2 (which we’re mercifully allowed to have), but make sure you take a second to take in the breathtaking scenery and excellent performances along the way. 8/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:08:07 News & Nuggets — 00:34:46 What We’re Watching — 01:01:18 Fun & Games — 02:00:39 Flick — 02:11:59

The Basics Flick — Black Widow Six — Newburgh Salted Nut Roll Ale Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length ReviewsBlack Widow is far too little far too late. Fortunately the performances are strong unfortunately the writing is not. 6/10 — AnthonyIt was fine… some fun action, solid banter, but this converted origin story by way of flashback is so out of place in the current Marvel schedule, and a further slap in the face to the Black Widow character itself. 6/10 — AlBookmarks Six — 00:13:19 News & Nuggets — 00:29:48 Fun & Games — 01:15:56 Flick — 01:42:49

The Basics Flick — The Tomorrow War Six — Alternate Ending Walking Carpets Hosts — Anthony Costanzo & Alessandro Biolsi Tweet-length Reviewslol…k 3/10 — AnthonyWhat the fuck did I just watch? 5/10? — AlBookmarks Six — 00:06:42 News & Nuggets — 00:15:47 Fun & Games — 01:56:27 Flick — 02:22:37
