The Meaning Of The Movie

Whiplash

_NOPE

It’s time to talk about one of our most anticipated films of last year. But did it live up to they hype? We have a lot of questions and thoughts about Jordan Peele’s NOPE. 

Succession

It's time to talk about the best-written show on television! In the first part of the episode, we have a SPOILER-FREE discussion about why you should be watching the show (if you're not already) and why we love it. In the second part, we get SPOILER-Y as we talk about our most meaningful characters, moments, and what we hope to see leading up to the finale. Join the disgusting brothers Rob Stennett and Patton Dodd for today's episode of The Meaning Of The Movie (or show).

Vengeance

What if we told you Ryan from The Office created a film noir that delves deeply into the cultural divide in America? What if we told you it’s one of our most interesting films of 2022? We give you Vengeance from writer/director BJ Novak. It’s a murder mystery rooted in the divide between red and blue states. It’s a tale that shocks you like spicy ketchup from Whataburger.
