2026/02/20

For this week’s episode, we dive headfirst into “Uncut Gems”, the Safdie Brothers’ relentless crime thriller that feels less like a movie, and more like a 2-hour panic attack. Anchored by a career-best performance from Adam Sandler as the gambling addicted jeweler with a talent for digging himself deeper and deeper, we unpack the film’s nerve-shredding style, its stacked supporting cast (including an NBA All-Star Kevin Garnett playing himself), and why this might be one of the most stressful ...

Season 4 is kicking off with chaos... as we head back to school with Adam Sandler’s "Billy Madison" (1995), his first studio lead film and a cornerstone of ‘90s studio comedy, and a film that firmly tests the patience of at least one of our hosts... Is it a dumb comedy classic, or the exact kind of low-brow humor that should’ve been "held back forever"? Make a film recommendation for an upcoming episode! Thank you for listening!

On our milestone 75th episode, and final episode of the season, we're joined by filmmakers (and returning guests) Samantha Garcia and David Wong, to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Michael Mann's Los Angeles crime saga: "Heat." This is a dive deep into Mann’s meticulous craftsmanship, the iconic performances from Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, the legendary downtown shootout, and how LA was utilized as a living, breathing character, why it remains endlessly rewatchable, and why, even 30 year...

On November 22, 1995, Martin Scorsese released one of the greatest gangster pictures ever made... For the second time... On this episode we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Martin Scorsese’s 'Casino', the neon-soaked epic that proved nobody can portray beautiful chaos quite like Marty, Pileggi, De Niro, Stone, and Pesci. We'll break down the film’s wild production, the real-life mob influences, why the film's costume budget was over a million dollars, and why Casino still shines brighter tha...

On this episode we revisit the neon-soaked, one-liner-loaded survival game show satire, 1987's sci-fi action spectacle, 'The Running Man,' starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. From its razor-sharp satire of media and government to Arnie’s more than classic line deliveries, this film gives us more than enough to talk about. Joined by Ben Gonzalez, one-third of the Movies In Trouble podcast, we break down the film’s wild production history, its over-the-top action sequences, and why this dystopian g...

Recorded live at Beyond The Grave in Downey, California, the largest Halloween pop-up bar in Los Angeles, the 90mins On Film crew brings you a very special episode, just in time for spooky season! We’re diving into 2009’s 'Zombieland,' a horror-comedy classic that taught us the importance of cardio, the double-tap, and avoiding clown zombies at all costs.

Producer Samantha Garcia returns to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of 'House of Wax', the gory remake that turned mid-2000s pop culture into a horror show. A self-proclaimed defender of this very niche film, Samantha makes her case for why this film deserves more respect, while we dig into the fascinating reinvention of Paris Hilton, and the undeniably weird onscreen attraction between the film’s leads. It’s wax, it’s wild, and it’s way more interesting (and awkward) than we all remembe...

"As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be..." a podcaster..? In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas, we’re going full Henry Hill and breaking our own rules with our longest episode to date! We spend nearly 2hrs of us obsessing over Ray Liotta’s cocaine-fueled paranoia, Joe Pesci’s unhinged antices, and Robert De Niro’s villianous gazes. And since family is everything, we've brought in one of our own (again!), film producer Samantha Garcia, who's fres...

It's 'Mob Movie Month' and we’re talkin' 'Donnie Brasco' (1997), the movie where Johnny Depp goes undercover in the mob still looking like Johnny Depp, and Al Pacino plays the most low-energy gangster of his career, and it somehow weirdly works. It’s a tale of friendship, betrayal, and the kind of loyalty that makes you wonder if friends are worth dying for. Joining us is special guest Ray Montano, who will help us decide if 'Donnie Brasco' is a mob classic, or a really long cautionary tale a...

In this episode we tackle Steven Soderbergh’s "Out of Sight" (1998), the smooth, stylish crime caper that helped make George Clooney a movie star, and, against all odds, convinced us that (the-artist-formerly-known-as) Jennifer Lopez could actually act... Yes, the same JLo responsible for a string of recent cinematic crimes turns in such a memorable performance here, that we’re forced to eat our words… at least for 90 minutes.

In this episdoe we break down Barry Sonnenfeld’s precision direction, the perfect casting, and how a movie about making movies somehow ended up being one of THE BEST movies ABOUT making movies ever made.

"Sinners" (2025) is a period piece which spirals from slow-burn drama, into a vampire bloodbath in vain of Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez's 'From Dusk Till Dawn in its second half, and has taken the box office by storm since its release this April. Marking the third collaboration between Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, and set in the sweltering atmosphere of the Mississippi Delta of the 1930's, Jordan plays dual roles as identical twin brothers caught in a web of family, gu...

Joining us is a real-life police detective, known only as “Pac-Man,” who brings insider insight, wild stories, and… more technical difficulties than a precinct’s outdated radio system.

Starring Robert Duvall and Sean Penn as two LAPD officers caught between community tensions and their own clashing ideologies, the film sparked debate upon release for its raw portrayal of gang life.
