After establishing himself as one of the most interesting writers in Hollywood, Charlie Kaufman finally started to step behind the camera fifteen years ago and is now one of the best writer/directors. Here is how I rank his directed efforts so far. Continue reading Ranking the Charlie Kaufman Films
Five years is a long time, but in many ways it’s felt like a blip.
Jerome and Brian reflect on the podcast, superhero movies, and even the ending lines that come at the end of each podcast. It’s end of a long journey but also the start of a new one.

For the last five years, Jerome and Brian have been hooked on a feeling… that being reviewing and discussing a long list of superhero movies to determine the very best (and worst) for the Superhero Pantheon (or pile of shame).
This week, they discuss one last movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. While there will be a series finale and two more episodes of Pantheon Plus, this is a rather significant episode. There is even a ten minute preamble as Jerome and Brian discuss the holiday special.

Yes, we know it’s probably way too early to put this move up for Pantheon eligibility but gosh darn it, Across the Spider-Verse is pretty much an instant classic. Both Brian and Jerome absolutely love the artwork, music and story. It’s perhaps a little too long, but that doesn’t kill the flow of the film.

Sofia Coppola, to be reductive, is one of the greatest nepotism babies in the history of Hollywood. The biggest thing that I appreciate about Sofia is that she has a deep understanding of her lane and what she knows best about the human experience, and she capitalizes on that and mostly only that to beautiful art. Acknowledging limitations is difficult, but Sofia makes it look easy.
