In 1994 Robin joined forces with director Bill Forsyth and a characteristically game John Turturro to ask the question; what if Cloud Atlas was boring.

Decided that Laura Palmer’s Theme would sound really good over the angle where Big Bossman crashed the Big Show’s dad’s funeral.

This two hander starring Kurt Russell and Robin Williams follows the lives of two washed up dudes in their 30s who reminisce on their final high school football game when Robin's character "dropped the ball". Too bad this movie also drops the ball.

In the height of the Reagan Era, Robin plays a russian who defects to a new life in America. The film is a comedy, introspective look on the immigrant story as Robin learns about the wonderful and strange things in this new country with his immigrant friends who guide him on his new journey!

Originally called "The Cow" for... reasons... this is Winona's first major top billed role in a “real” movie in over a decade. Jeff and Stuart remark on the similarities between this movie and Zach Cregger's "Barbarian" in this week’s episode on Eli Horowitz’s “Gone in the Night”.

Everything is not fine. This is a 50 minute Netflix TV special that was made in the height of Covid-19 and the 2020 election... so we're not okay after watching this.

He's back folks. Keanu Reeves in his fourth collaboration with Winona Ryder. This time, the pair are off to a wedding together, neither of whom wish to attend, and through their misery both internal and external, somehow form a relationship?

Paul Rudd teaches us a lesson. Actually... TEN LESSONS! And they are all based on the ten commandments. Before you think this is going to be some "God's Not Dead" level religious film, we regret to inform you that could not be further from the truth.

In a movie where Winona Ryder plays a depressed teenager committed to a mental institution, it's Angelina Jolie who steals the show as the sociopathic girl that "interrupts" Winona's treatment. Jeff, Stuart and special guest Ross Wood had a fun time with this one.

There was wolverine, then Freddy Krueger, but in this movie the man with the claws is a gentle soul who likes trimming the verge and giving hair cuts! Winona plays against type with the blondest wig you've ever seen in EDWARD SCISSORHANDS!

It's Sunday 2014, you all sit down in the theater, the lights dim, and that's when you hear it. The techno bass beat rings in the theater, and you ask yourself: "Are they really starting this movie off with PSY's 2012 masterpiece Gangam Style?"
