The 100 Film RedemptionEpisode 091 - CaddyshackCaddyshack is a weird movie. Half a coming-of-age story, half sketch comedy, plus there's a dancing gopher; none of it should work, but it does. It shows its age every now and again, but against all odds, Caddyshack's screwball comedy gets it across the finish line.

The 100 Film RedemptionEpisode 087 - Schindler's List + ShoahThe final Spielberg film on our list is probably his most celebrated. Schindler's List, coupled with our viewing of Claude Lanzmann's staggering documentary, Shoah, made for a really sobering and emotionally taxing entrance to 2021, but it was worth it. Movies like this make us better people. Recently Watched - 1:26 LA Confidential Spoilers - 12:15-19:40 Shoah - 28:55 Schindler's List - 1:07:21 Produced by Andrew Padula

The 100 Film RedemptionEpisode 084 - Lethal WeaponThis episode is all about the Lethal Weapon series! These four films have helped define one of the most well-known movie and TV genres: the buddy cop story. From iconic lines like “I’m getting too old for this shit,” to the ultra cheesy, equally kick-ass music, Lethal Weapon is a franchise that just couldn’t be ignored. Produced by Andrew Padula
2021-01-161h 22
The 100 Film RedemptionEpisode 083 - The Sound of MusicThe Sound of Music is one of the most beloved American films ever made.

The 100 Film RedemptionEpisode 081 - Good Will HuntingGood Will Hunting may be famous for its plot summary more so than anything it shows on screen, but it has remained an extremely popular film for the last 22 years.

The 100 Film RedemptionEpisode 080 - Close Encounters of the Third KindThere's a reason that Steven Spielberg is the director with the most entries on our 100-film list.

Phil compares HBO's The Vow to Starz's Seduced, and we also talk about the return of Borat! Recently Watched - 0:54 The Vow vs. Seduced - 23:07 Close Encounters - 44:40 Produced by Andrew Padula

The 100 Film RedemptionEpisode 079 - Donnie DarkoFor some of the films on our list, they are inescapable titans of pop culture - E.T., Forrest Gump, The Sixth Sense. Others are more mysterious.

Donnie Darko flew under the radar for a lot of people upon release, but it has become a true standout of modern indie filmmaking. We also give a spoiler-free review of The Haunting of Bly Manor, and more! Recently Watched - 1:19 Bly Manor (Spoiler Free) - 12:04 Donnie Darko - 50:20 Produced by...

The 100 Film RedemptionEpisode 078 - Signs & The Sixth SenseIt's an entire episode dedicated to M. Night Shyamalan! There's no denying that Shyamalan dominated the early 2000's with his trademark twisty narratives. We have two entries on our official list, Signs and The Sixth Sense, as well as discussions on Unbreakable and The Village. Signs was always a ripe target for parody, and The Sixth Sense is one of the biggest movies in all of pop culture.
