Maria

Episode 0025 - Maria On this week’s car ride home, we get a peek inside the world of a true Greek tragedy – opera star Maria Callas, played by Angelina Jolie. Tina gets another lesson on her Greek heritage while Stratis tries to figure out who this movie was made for. It certainly wasn’t him. We do both agree that all of the performances were top-notch. If you want to take a

Wicked

Episode 24 - Wicked On this week’s car ride home, we brought the whole family along.

Venom: The Last Dance

Episode 23 - Venom: The Last Dance On this week’s car ride home, we try to keep the alien symbiotes from turning us into their hosts as we discuss Venom: The Last Dance. It may be another superhero movie, but surprisingly, Tina enjoyed it and even managed to tear up when Venom gave his all to save humanity. On the other hand, Stratis, the superhero guy, was highly disappointed an

Anora

Episode 22 - Anora On this week’s car ride home, the car tries to join in on our discussion about Anora. Yet again, Tina takes Stratis to a movie with loads of nudity and tries to explain the difference between exploitation and cinematic boobs. Stratis isn’t convinced, but we both agree that Mickie Madison’s portrayal of Anora was just fantastic. Also, our favorite Voss water

Smile 2

Episode 21 - Smile 2 On this week’s car ride home, we try not to smile too much at yet another horror film, Smile 2. Naomi Scott gets a ton of respect from Tina and Stratis for her lead role in this fast-paced film. Stratis learns that horror movies can be multifaceted, who knew? Tina does a deep dive into demonic possession and ends up worrying about all the tweens who got infec

Megalopolis

Episode 20 - Megalopolis On this week’s car ride home, we visit the alternative world of New Rome, created by legendary Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola. The tables are turned and Stratis is the introspective movie critic while Tina is the curmudgeonly old man. Stratis gets lost in the film's “vibes” (in between short naps), while Tina thought it would have been a much

Joker: Folie à Deux

Episode 19 - Joker: Folie à Deux On this week’s car ride home, we completely disagree on whether this Joaquin Phoenix/Lady Gaga Joker film is a deeply emotional tour-de-force or just a hack film. Stratis gets philosophical when he says “Truth is whatever the movie does to you,” and Tina goes off on a cigarette-smoke-and-lighting tangent. If you want to find out how they mad

Saturday Night

Episode 18 - Saturday Night On this week’s car ride home, Saturday Night allows Stratis to relive his youth through the lens of a favorite late-night show that drove ’70s popular culture – Saturday Night Live. On the other hand, Tina is forced to endure a lackluster biopic that she compares to a superhero movie. Comedic genius George Carlin is poorly impersonated by Stratis

The Substance

Episode 17 - The Substance On this week’s car ride home, we debate whether The Substance is a masterpiece or a monstrosity, and we both have strong opinions on which one it is. Stratis wants to know why his daughter took him to a movie with so much female nudity, while Tina was just enjoying the vibes. Somehow we go off on a tangent about the cars in the movie, and Tina finds a w

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Episode 16 - Beetlejuice Beetlejuice On this week’s car ride home, we talk about whether you can bring a demon back from the great beyond, and if you can, would he still be funny. Stratis starts off by wanting to know why they ruined his beloved movie from the ’80s, and Tina is obsessing about the relationship between Lydia (Winona Ryder) and Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton). Both
