Twas lovely. ...
Episode 319: "Scooby-Doo" The Right Thing
Whine And A Movie - May 13, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsThe masterpiece that solidified Matthew Lillard as a national treasure. "Scooby-Doo" is a fun and mostly stupid visit to the world of the Scooby Gang set in the early 2000s. The cast is actually pretty ridiculous. Did they all nail it? No. But the effort is appreciated. We pair it with Ridgeback...
Episode 318: Hungry Hungry "Hunger Games"
Whine And A Movie - April 28, 2022 01:00 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsWe felt like it was time to jump into some movies based on YA novels. It was going happen eventually.

Episode 312: "Dick Tracy" Takes On...
Whine And A Movie - February 04, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsI feel like "Dick Tracy" is one of those movies that doesn't get the limelight much these days, but it should. It's splashy and colorful with great music and tons of well-known actors. They manage to pull off a comic book style movie that actually looks like a comic book. And they won a few osca...

Whine And A Movie - December 03, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsOh my dog it has been years since we've seen "Mars Attacks" and it did not disappoint. It never does.
