Now, you may think that any film critic worth their salt has already seen this movie but as it turns out, Ryan Seybold never has! Does Psycho still hold up as a first-time viewing experience in 2024?

To boot, David Cronenberg had been tapped to direct Total Recall for Dino de Laurentiis and was unable to take The Fly when producer Mel Brook called (yes...2024-09-1755 min

Esoterica CinemaGangubai Kathiawadi Movie Review Gangubai Kathiawadi from director Sanjay Leela Bhansali sees Alia Bhatt play the notoriously infamous Madame to various effects. On the one hand, the film is a dark and serious look at admittedly difficult parts of her legacy, while at the same time glossing over events to make them seem less sordid and violent than they in fact were. As Jason & Ryan review the film, you'll get both sides of the equation, as Jason took issue with the manner in which Gangubai Kathiawadi was represented, while Ryan felt the film did an estimable job telling the story of this flawed...2024-04-1056 min
