Movies, politics, and the Warriors, mostly.
215: Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story(2026) Way more poignant and wholesome than I anticipated. More about ageing and nostalgia and how we don't always pick our mission in life than about tawdry or unseeingly
214: Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay(2008) Jaw droppingly bad. Garbage with no redeeming qualities. Is seemingly based on O Brother, Where Art Thou for some reason?
213: Next Goal Wins(2014) I think this was better than it's fictionalized remake, and I liked it's fictionalized remake. Pacific islander warrior dances are so badass...
212: In The Mouth Of Madness(1994) Equal parts stupid and interesting, which is what I tend to think about most John Carpenter stuff. Sam Neill was great as always
211: Toy Story 5(2026) This movie was fine, but it was a definite step down for the previous installments in the series, and the 'ipad is your friend stuff' really icked me out
210: Toy Story 4(2019) I never watched this one because I couldn't imagine how this franchise could possibly have anything left in the tank, but it did and was a great movie, and I bet 5 is great too
209: The Last Blockbuster(2020) I remember what it was like to rent from video rental places, and the world we live in today is vastly superior. Still, the old world offered a certain je ne sais quoi that can never be matched. It really was something special
208: DIsneyland Handcrafted(2026) Disney propaganda no doubt, but it was quite enjoyable and interesting to watch
207: Backrooms(2026) Incredibly compelling and cleverly shot, though I'm not sure it actually meant a whole lot
206: Next Goal Wins(2023) Nice. Perfectly adequate. Taika Waititi at his most chill
205: Money Plane(2020) A throwback to a 90's Cinemax soft core porno except without the skin or sex or any semblance of a logical plot
204: Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny(2006) This movie is mostly unfunny trash, though it made me laugh a few times despite myself
203: The Sugarland Express(1974) Spielberg's first theatrical movie and the most influential movie I'd never scene. Mad Max, and the entire Coen brothers oeuvre owe their existence to this film. At the same time, it's pretty derivative of Bonnie and Clyde and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
202: Passengers(2016) I get the criticisms of this film, but I don't think it's endorsing Chris Pratt's character's actions, so much as it maybe offers him a rather contrived redemption from them, but no more than any other Lonely Persons In Space movie ending does. I thought it was alright
201: Hundreds Of Beavers(2022) A very fun and deeply weird movie. Loony Tunes/video game logic in a live action black and white silent film that delivers what it says on the tin
200: The Sheep Detectives(2026) This was a very nice, chill movie, and the mystery is clever and fun, though I thought it was a bit too slick of a audience tested product at times
199: Cronos(1992) This is a well made film, and you can see Guillermo del Toro's talent shining through, but I don't like body horror or Frankenstein or Dracula, so this movie just wasn't for me
198: Obsession(2026) This was a really fun little horror movie, though I don't quite get the hype
197: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes(1978) Incredibility stupid, cheaply done, and very dated. It's interesting as a time capsule but it's a terrible movie
196: I Love Boosters(2026) This movie takes a bunch of big swings and some make contact and some very much don't. I appreciate the effort regardless. It's a very creative and interesting movie and I was never bored watching it
195: Monty Python Live At The Hollywood Bowl(1982) I'd never watched this because I presumed I'd already seen anything worth seeing, which was right, but still, watching them do it live was pretty fun, and seeing the 70's Python superfans was really cool and interesting
194: Crawl(2019) The most low stakes creature feature I've ever watched, and it definitely wasn't better for it. I just didn't care all that much whether Barry Pepper got eaten by an Alligator, but that was the entire fucking movie
192: Fall(2022) I think this movie did as well as it possibly could have given the extremely limited possibilities allowed by it's premise
191: Cocaine Cowboys(2006) Is shot like a History Channel documentary and has no cinematic merit whatsoever. It's also maybe an hour too long. Still, some of the anecdotes were interesting
