Part of our continuing marathon of covering AFI’s top 100, we take on The Bridge On The River Kwai and we ask ourselves questions on the morality of war. Our recent release is Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse; which may prove to be a more middle-of-the-road film rather than a good piece of entertainment. Part 2 of this show is coming out very soon.

As part of our continuing marathon of AFI’s Top 100 list, we give you a review of the classic E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Lastly, we take on a sleepy town mystery-thriller called Regression.

#114 Green Room The Sixth Sense Double Bill! Two horrifying scenarios; one taking a realistic approach to violence and the other deals with the dead through the eyes of a boy. Green Room, currently in theaters, subverts typical crime-genre conventions with humor and humanity but packs a wallop in intensity. The Sixth Sense (1999) is a review that ends our trilogy of films where we each choose a title that we disagree with being on the AFI’s top 100 list. This is part 1 f our show.

#113 Jungle Book, Creative Control, Hello My Name is Doris, Snow White It was only a matter of time that circumstances would make us discuss two different Disney films in one show.

We continue with the spiritual sequel disguised as an excellent bottle thriller with 10 Cloverfield Lane. Finally, we end with arguably the first if not the most successful screwball romantic comedy in American cinema with It Happened One Night.
