The Man Who Would Be King (1975) Directed by John Huston 2:05:32

1M ago2:05:32

2:05:32

It's Connuary! Our Sean Connery mini-series commences with the 1975 adventure classic, inspired by Rudyard Kipling's 1888 novella. A film that could have easily become a culturally insensitive period piece has, instead, proven its enduring quality as a tale of brotherly love and adventure. We were all pleasantly surprised by our enjoyment of this e…

The Hunt for Red October (1990) Directed by John McTiernan 2:08:49

2:08:49

This week: It is Into the Clancy-verse with 1990's stellar political thriller The Hunt for Red October.

Highlander (1986) Directed by Russell Mulcahy 2:53:11

2M ago2:53:11

2:53:11

In 1986, the world was introduced to Connor MacLeod, and it was never the same since. What was initially a novel concept for a schlocky, mid-80s action film was eventually expanded into a full-on franchise, with multiple sequels and even a six-season TV series. Today, we're not worrying about all that. We delved into the original film, examining it…

1:53:06

Our Black Christmas journey comes to an end with a (kiss kiss) bang! What should have been an instant classic, 2016's The Nice Guys is instead capping off the Cinema Roast Bunch's look at the directorial work of writer/director Shane Black. As we delved deep into the film, trying our best to recap and do it justice, our appreciation only grew. Ligh…

4M ago1:51:46

1:51:46

Black Christmas is approaching its peak with a look at the hysterical 2005 murder/mystery that put Robert Downey Jr. back on the map and graced us with perhaps the best performance of Val Kilmer's career. This raucous, vulgar, and hysterical romp through the crime and snark-ridden streets of 2005 LA is as delightful as it is sharp. If that wasn't e…

Iron Man 3 (2013) Directed by Shane Black 2:09:05

2:09:05

As the Black Christmas train continues to roll, the Bunch takes a quick stop at the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a revisit of Shane Black's directorial "one for them" that is still undeniably his. Did this threequel deserve the scorn it got, or is it secretly one of Marvel's best movies? Support the show Email Us! [email protected]…

Leap of Faith (1992) Directed by Richard Pearce 1:21:07

1:21:07

This week, what begins as a cautiously interested first look at the star-studded, Steve Martin and Debra Winger-led dramedy leads the Bunch down a rabbithole of theology, morality, and frustrating ambiguity about the film's own theological motives. The crew certainly dissects its message and portrayal of religion and those who practice it, but more…
