2025/03/21

We are keeping it straight up 90's as Zach and Amanda dive into the world of legal thrillers. This week, we focus on The Firm, from 1993.

What if you could commit a crime with a perfect plan? Linda Fiorentino shows us exactly how in the 1994 erotic thriller The Last Seduction.

Fred Claus (2007)

Don’t Be Crazy ·

2024/12/17

Ho ho ho. We continue our "Tops and Bottoms December" by discussing another stinker of a film, 2007's Fred Claus. A slapstick comedy about Santa Claus' un-extraordinary and bitter older brother, this movie has some major hiccups. Amanda wasn't a huge fan, but Zach does make some compelling points.

Ho ho ho. We continue our "Tops and Bottoms December" by focusing on a....well...a "film" that makes some interesting choices. Disclaimer: this one was rough.
