"Ocean's Eleven" - The Coolest Movie of All Time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ocean's Eleven is the coolest movie ever made… We break down why this movie only works because Soderbergh filled every single role with actors you already love, solving the impossible problem of making you care about 11 characters in two hours. We tell the story of how George Clooney convinced Julia Roberts to be in this movie. We get into how nobody on this entire cast would go back to their trailer between scenes because they were all having too much fun just hanging out on set. And we discuss
"Gangs of New York" - The Story About a Man vs The Devil (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gangs of New York is one of Scorsese's most underrated films. We breakdown the Biblical allegory running through the entire story and how Daniel Day-Lewis is essentially the devil on earth. We tell the story of how this movie almost made Scorsese quit Hollywood as he went to war with Harvey Weinstein during production. And we reveal all the insane method acting tactics Daniel Day-Lewis did in preparation for this role that almost got him killed. Chapters: 00:00 INTRO 3:06 An allegory of The Bibl

We break down why this movie has the most evil villain either of us has ever seen in our entire lives and how he dedicated his entire existence to the darkest revenge possible over something any teenager could have done. We get into the hallway fight scene, one of the most iconic in cinema history, filmed in a single unbroken shot that took three full days and seventeen attempts to get right. And we give our hone
"Hot Rod" - The Classic That Was Never Supposed to Happen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hot Rod is a childhood staple that bombed so hard at the box office that nobody saw it coming… but it somehow became one of the most rewatchable comedies ever made. We break down how this movie was originally written for Will Ferrell and how the Lonely Island completely took it over and made it into something nobody had ever seen before. We discuss why the whole movie is basically just a series of sketches and why that's exactly what makes it impossible to stop watching. And we get into all the
