2026/01/22

David Fincher's follow-up to Se7en thinks outside the box with a head in it. Michael Douglas receives a mysterious gift from his brother (Sean Penn) that is either an elaborate game or just sophisticated phishing.

2026/01/16

Travolta and Sam Jackson star as henchmen who shoot the breeze (and the occasional person) while running the crime boss's errands, in this eminently quotable black comedy. We forego unraveling the twisted timeline in favor of this core question: should Tarantino ever act in his own movies beyond a brief cameo?? Check out the big brains on . . .

Stranger Than Paradise (1984) - The Film with Three...

The Film With Three Brains ·

2025/12/23

Jim Jarmusch gained accolades for showing the studio world that a movie can be just as slow, aimless, and infused with deadpan humor as real life—a notion embraced by the likes of Seinfeld, Wes Anderson—and that sometimes foible and folly reveal as much about the human condition as flashy narrative thread.

Edward Scissorhands (1990) - The Film with Three...

2025/12/01

Tim Burton siphoned the sentiment of his oddball childhood into the fairytale of Edward Scissorhands: a teenage creation with scissors for hands who struggles to fit into a suburban world that is both amazed and frightened by him. The star power of Depp and Winona Ryder could fuel any 90’s film, but aside from the hairdos and topiaries, does Ed still make the cut?

2025/11/12

Michael Caine is a debonair con man who takes a wager with a gauche scam artist (Steve Martin) about who is the best swindler, loser leaves town. Does an audience love being conned or in on the con?

Pitch Black (2000) - The Film with Three Brains Review

The Film With Three Brains ·

2025/10/30

You know it’s a bad day when your spaceship crash lands on a planet the very same day a 22-year swarm of alien, flesh-eating locusts breaks free from the hive and the only person you can turn to is a murderous convict…unless that criminal is Vin Diesel! He was furious before fast and way too cool for some loser extraterrestrials. You're not afraid of the dark, are you?You can also watch this and many more episodes in full video on our YouTube

Wonder Boys (2000) - The Film with Three Brains Review

The Film With Three Brains ·

2025/10/22

More aptly titled “Weekend at the English Professor's," this deadpan comedy is also a quirky drama satirizing the literary sphere within academia. It's held together by the star power of Michael Douglas, Frances McDormand, Tobey Maguire, and Robert Downey, Junior, but . . . what is it? Plot line defiance and genre pigeonhole-dodging give the Brains food for thought. Join the feast.You can watch this, and several other episodes in full video on our YouTube channel as well

Slap Shot (1977) - The Film with Three Brains Review

The Film With Three Brains ·

2025/10/13

Paul Newman was more than just a salad dressing, at one point he was a hockey player-coach for a rowdy Midwest minor league team about to go skates up. With a Disney plot build up and more F-words than Webster’s, did this sports dramedy have a fighting chance? It’s the Brain’s goal to find out!You can also watch this, and many more episodes in full video on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFilmWithThreeBrains

Nail that Tailwhip, finish the Grind, step off the footpegs, and Bunny Hop with the Brains for this rad ep, don’t over-rotate.

2025/09/25

Clint Eastwood stars in and directs his second Western, adapted from a book on the many factions and foibles of a nation ending its bloody civil war. Now synonymous with the genre, Eastwood built his career sneering through gritty films like this and reaping box office rewards. Does it still move the modern viewer? Gone to Texas are the Brains, so follow along little doggies to find out if you're a maverick or part of the adoring herd.

The Film With Three Brains ·

2025/09/15

Come back to 1982 when high school was totally awesome and the only thing people bothered "liking" was the restaurant where you worked. Fast Times set the stage for a slew of 80's teen films and helped define the Gen X mindset. Is it still gnarly? Or just explains why your dad scalps tickets?

Poltergeist (1982) - The Film with Three Brains Review

The Film With Three Brains ·

2025/09/03

While the directing credit goes to Tobe Hooper, it was Producer Steven Spielberg who had the Midas touch in the 1980's, but does a zero-body count horror movie that has been endlessly parodied and imitated still deliver the scares? Or has this become a shocker documentary explaining why home-buying disclosure packets are now three inches thick? Catch a steak and take a break with the Brains.

Steve Martin steps out of character and into a sophisticated, straitlaced con man in this David Mamet heist flick. Long before spoofing, fake relatives, bogus tax payments, and overdue traffic violations ad nauseum, the con job was an art. Is this movie?

Creepy Carrie epitomizes the sage advice: Don’t mess with a telekinetic teenager on prom night. Do people ever learn? Did Stephen King really say the movie is better than his book?
