Episode 360: Creed III

Posted on by Aaron White.

For the first time, the Rocky franchise moves on without Sylvester Stallone’s iconic character as a part of the story, centering this tale around the recently retired Adonis Creed, his family, and an old friend turned new antagonist whose explosive presence creates a dilemma that can only be dealt with one way – in the ring, of course. We mostly think it’s a mixed bag that doesn’t live up to the exquisite storytelling level of the first two entries, but explosive fight sequences and solid drama are there in spurts.

Episode 359: Rocky IV/Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago

Posted on by Aaron White.

Only one man can get revenge for his best friend’s death and stop the Cold War dead in its tracks during a single boxing match, and that’s exactly what Rocky Balboa does. We discuss our enjoyment of this entry in the famous fighting sport franchise not only by talking about ROCKY IV but also Stallone’s recent Director’s Cut version, ROCKY IV: ROCKY VS. DRAGO, through comparison and contrast.

Episode 355: Everything Everywhere All At Once

Posted on by Aaron White.

We take on one of the most creative multiverse stories ever put to screen and share our responses to its absurdity as well as its strong familial relationship drama. Not everything worked perfectly for us, but we think there’s a lot positive to be taken away from this special film.

Episode 348: She Said

Posted on by Aaron White.

For decades Harvey Weinstein committed sexual abuse in and out of the workplace and for decades he was able to silence those who dared to ever try and speak out. But the New York Times report by journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor exposed these allegations and launched the #MeToo movement. We discuss why we think this dramatized story about their investigative work is strongly crafted and how important it is for this information to be shared with the world in a new format.

Episode 285: Days of Thunder

Posted on by Aaron White.

We feel the need, the need for speed! No – not that movie, the other one about Tom Cruise going super fast in a vehicle and dealing with trauma while trying to prove he’s the best. We’re not big fans of NASCAR, but this film uses the sport as the backdrop for an exciting and entertaining story that we thoroughly enjoyed discussing.

Episode 284: Ted Lasso (Season 1)

Posted on by Aaron White.

A little bit of a surprise this week as we cover a series of a show that we both fell in love with instead of a film. This episode also marks the likely departure of One-Word Takeaways and Connecting Points, as we evolve into a more free-flowing conversation style that we feel suits us better. We hope you enjoy this discussion about why Ted Lasso means so much to us and is one of our new favorite pieces of entertainment of all-time.

Episode 282: In the Heights

We talk about what is hopefully just the first of many great musicals to release in 2021, sharing our thoughts on the cultural importance of this story as well as just reveling in its joyous production. We also, of course, discuss the musical numbers and tell you what we’d do with 96 G’s.

Episode 281: A Quiet Place Part II

Posted on by Aaron White.

It’s finally back to the theater for us, along with many others, and we are thrilled to have such a fantastic sequel to one of the most wonderfully unique thrillers in years to talk about. Yes – spoiler alert – we loved what John Krasinski came up with for how to move the Abbott family’s story forward in an interesting, gripping way.
