1:40:10

In this episode, the CIU crew plunges into the dark, deliciously deranged imagination of Clive Barker as we pair two of his most iconic cult classics: Hellraiser and Nightbreed. We break down Barker’s singular ability to fuse beauty with brutality, the way his creatures blur the line between monster and misunderstood outcast, and why his worlds fee…

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom - This buddy cop movie is getting in the way of my stinker! 1:31:51

4d ago1:31:51

1:31:51

Getting the unique title of being so bland that it isn't worth it's own terribleness. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the rare kind of bad movie that doesn’t even earn the dignity of being fun bad. It’s a two-hour shrug—completely unremarkable in its beige, water-logged blandness. You keep waiting for something—anything—to break the monotony, but t…

Air Force One - OMG DON'T LET THAT HIGH GUY FLY THE PLANE! 1:22:00

21d ago1:22:00

1:22:00

“Air Force One” is the kind of movie that grabs you by the collar, shouts “GET OFF MY PLANE,” and dares you not to grin through the whole ride. It’s the most unabashedly earnest “Fly Hard” ever committed to film—yes, it’s Die Hard on a plane, and yes, it knows it. Yet somehow, through sheer force of will (and Harrison Ford’s presidential scowl), it…

1:40:29

Final Destination 3 marks the point where the series’ once-ingenious death-trap premise starts to feel a bit mechanical. The franchise’s formula — a character foresees a horrific accident, cheats Death, then scrambles to outwit its unseen design — is intact but beginning to show its age. The opening roller-coaster disaster is spectacularly staged, …

1:23:16

There’s a great movie hiding somewhere inside The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai—but you’ll need a map, a microscope, and probably a flux capacitor to find it. Despite its gloriously weird premise and a cast that includes Peter Weller, Jeff Goldblum, John Lithgow, and Christopher Lloyd, the film feels like the cinematic equivalent of someone dumping…

“Cabin Pressure” (2003) is the cinematic equivalent of being stuck on the tarmac forever with a dying paperback and a screaming air vent.
