While most movie reviewers focus on films out now, David and Michael Rainey decided to review movies from ten to twenty years ago. These are movies that were ignored when they were first released, didn't get the marketing push to be well known, or simply had the bad luck to be released opposite a much more popular blockbuster. It's time to give these movies a second chance.

So many superhero movies ... so little time. That's why we recommend watching the only one that matters, a little film called Mystery Men. It was ahead of it's time, and thus underappreciated, which makes it the ideal film for our podcast. Take a listen to find out why this is a film that only gets better with age.

Think of one of your favorite movies as a kid. Remember how much you laughed? Don't you want to go back and watch it again? That's what we did with Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls to see if it stood the test of time and is enjoyable. And let's just say that our somewhat more enlightened adult sensibilities saw A LOT of problems we didn't notice as…

Had a mix up with descriptions but all is now sorted which means we can tell you about the greatest movie in the world .. The King Of Kong: Fistful Of Quarters. It's a documentary that tells the true life story of the ultra competitive, no holds barred crazy world of Donkey Kong championships. Sounds silly? Well, it is a bit, but it's also the grea…

Slam Evil! Look, the 90's were a simpler time, when comic book heroes only needed spandex and a can do attitude. And Billy Zane certainly comes through in that way as The Phantom.

Based on David's recommendation, the Rainey brothers are reviewing Attack The Block. It's a British alien invasion movie that asks the question, how would inner city youth deal with aliens?

So, hour one of the two-hour season finale of 24: Eh. I almost slept through it. Almost. Then the second hour kicked in. Yet as action-packed as this final hour of season six was, it's that last ten minutes or so that sticks to my bonesBy Matt Springer (read by Dave Hamilton)

The invasion of CTU pretty much takes the cake for this week's episode, with the rest of the action dwelling on stale plot points a bit too long.

When I started watching this season of 24, I expected the thrill ride. I expected the loopy plotting and cliffhanger endings, the ticking plunk of a clock at the end of every hour telling me it would be another seven days before I'd find out the fate of 24's free world. What I didn't really expect was to become so involved, so engaged, with the CHA…

The worm turns slowly, but it turns. That seems to be the theme emerging in this unexpected "coda" to the main storyline of 24's sixth season.

Nutty. Just freakin' nutty. That's my overall reaction to this episode. Which is funny, because for the first half or so, my overall reaction was more like, "Yawn.
