A movie analysis show looking at your favorite cult and genre films from across cinema history. Each week, Dustin, Arthur, and Dalton try to apply academic rigor and critical analysis to the films you wouldn’t talk about in a film studies class while having a few laughs along the way. It’s the conversations you have in the lobby of the multiplex with a little more room to breathe, and the occasional footnote. Stay tuned to the feed for bonus episodes on new releases.

So, he called in some good friends from The Cinematic Schematic: Caleb Masters and Laron Chapman. Is this new picture, streaming exclusively on Netflix, worth your time? Dalton, Caleb, and Laron parse it out in this Rebel Ridge review.

Dalton and Arthur hit the chute this week in response to the new M. Night Shyamalan experience, TRAP. With a fun premise, a great trailer, and elder statesman Josh Hartnett, the excitement was high for Shyamalan's new film. But, does it meet expectations? Or does the trap spring too early? We break it down with our mostly spoiler free reviews, but we do get into SPOILER TERRITORY around the halfway to two-thirds mark. So, tune in to hear us break down our thoughts on TRAP.
