Cup Of Tea Reviews

This big-budget disaster movie ate up nearly $250 million in 2021 USD, so our hosts had to check it out. Sadly, more than a decade after its release, this film has not stood the test of time. 

An homage to beating video game bosses brings a creative premise to the table - combining Groundhog Day with John Wick. However, despite a neat idea, the film gets lost along the way and lost our hosts. 

This week, our hosts sit down to reflect on the Halloween-esque movies watched over the last year of the podcast. Tune in for some recommendations of what to watch this Halloween! 

An aging Jean-Claude Van Damme, a peak Dennis Rodman and a convoluted yet somehow generic spy-thriller plot did not add up to greatness. With an odd assortment of action and comedy, this week our hosts tackle one of the more confounding movies of the late 90's. 

This week our hosts take a trip through Americana via Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Our hosts battle over what side of the fence this film should fall on in a rare split vote. 

Mark Wahlberg & Reese Witherspoon star in a mid-90s psychological thriller that accelerated both of their careers. With all the trappings of a teen thriller flick, this film didn't... scare... our hosts away. 

Our hosts selected a recent film this week in The Tomorrow War, released in 2021. With a blend of sci-fi action with a side of drama, this picture split our hosts' reviews by the slimmest of margins. 

This week our hosts took on Sean Connery in Zardoz. This 70's arthouse film's take on sex and class hasn't aged well, but there were some memorable moments worth discussing. 

Our hosts return with Tiptoes, a 2003 film that has attracted attention for its portrayal of little people and a deep cast of, now famous, actors. While it hasn't aged well, our hosts found the film memorable and worth a review.  

The final installment of documentary month is Coup 53 (2019), a film detailing the US/UK led coup of Iran's democratically elected government. With compelling interviews and detailed storytelling, Coup 53 sheds light on an often overlooked piece of history that has had sweeping consequences.
