This week we're back to Horror to cover a movie that created an entire sub-category in the genre. We're talking THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (#17 on the board), one of the most successful movies of all time from a budget to profit perspective, and the movie that in many ways created the found-footage horror film, spawning dozens of imitators over the years.

We're taking the week off for the holidays but as a special gift for our listeners we are dropping this compilation of a few weeks worth of chinwaggery about the Disney+ show, ANDOR. As the segments were recorded weeks apart, there will be a little bit of repetition and rawness to it, but hopefully it encourages everyone to check out this show. It is well worth your time. Check back in next week for our episode on EX MACHINA. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

We're diving into the world of Film Noir this week as we cover one of the all time greats of the genre, THE BIG SLEEP (#4 on the board), starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and directed by Howard Hawks. It's truly incredible how much this movie holds up, don't miss it even if you're skittish of older films!

Taking a hard u-turn from the cartoonishness of the last two week's movies, this week we are watching Steven Spielberg's SCHINDLER'S LIST (#14 on the board), starring Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, and Ben Kingsley. A haunting and important work that Spielberg somehow finished and released in the same year as another masterpiece of his, JURASSIC PARK (1993). An all time great that lives up to it's reputation and then some (at least in Drew's opinion).

Gonzo sci-fi action is on display this week for our episode on Luc Besson's one-of-a-kind film THE FIFTH ELEMENT (#8 on the board), starring Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, and Gary Oldman. A wild, outlandish ride of a film that begs you to use every hyperbolic adjective to describe it. Don't miss this one.

If you have ever wondered what it would be like if MEAN GIRLS and BONNIE AND CLYDE had a baby, HEATHERS (#11 on the board) is that movie. Starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, right at the onset of their stardom, this cult classic is well worth a watch if only to see just how far they go with this concept.
