Ep 9: Revisiting the 72nd Oscars (1999 Movies)
Dyl and Raf go back to the 72nd Academy Awards and redo 1999 — a year stacked with The Matrix, The Sixth Sense, Toy Story 2, The Mummy, and plenty more that barely got a look from the Oscars. They revisit the nominees, build their own picks across the major categories, throw in some wildcards, hit Raf’s Horror Corner, and figure out what the Academy got right, got wrong, and completely missed.

Ep 8: Smash Cut! Mulan vs Hercules
Mulan vs Hercules: two Disney Renaissance movies about the distant past released only a year apart, and two favourites that feel especially baked into younger-millennial childhoods.

Ep 7: Our Top Four Ridley Scott Movies
Dyl, Raf, and Zach build their own Top Fours from Ridley Scott’s filmography — starting with locks, bubbles, and cuts. They get into his ridiculous range, his best eras, the movies they all agree on, the ones they absolutely don’t, and whether any of their lists change by the end. Plus: what’s Ridley’s worst?
