Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme! We're kicking off Black History Month with my mandated movie, Hidden Figures, a film that dramatizes the significant contribution black women made to the space program in the 60s. Normally, I'd pretend I knew who these women were even before the book this film is based on released - you know, for internet cookies - but their stories being purposefully buried in history's trash bin is kind of the point so yeah, let's spend an hour critiquing these women's titular figures! Figures as in math. What did you think I meant? 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 13:05- Hidden Figures review 1:05:22- Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.

Last year, Keleigh mandated we watch Igby Goes Down. She chose... poorly.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme! We're not sadists. We're not trying to torture ourselves or you so every movie we mandate is mandated in good faith. We never try to pick bad movies but sometimes we mess up. Well, that's what Mea Culpa month is for! It's our opportunity to apologize for sucky mandated movies with a different film that hopefully doesn't suck! Last year I mandated When Worlds Collide for Disaster Movie Month. It wasn't very good. So, to make up for it, I've mandated Dog Day Afternoon, a movie about the most disastrous bank robbery this side of Quick Change! 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 13:05- Dog Day Afternoon review 1:02:15- Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme! This month we're celebrating movies you may not have known got a sequel. This week, my sister mandated we watch the direct-to-video sequel, From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money. Does it have anything to do with the original? Eh, not much. It honestly feels like it was originally a different movie that was retrofit with a known IP to increase visibility but according to multiple sources, apparently not! 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 15:30- From Dusk Till Dawn 2 review 1:00:28- Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme! December is a new month and a new month means a new theme and that new theme is: There's a Sequel?!!! Yes, December is all about those movies that somehow ended up with a sequel. For example, this week's mandated movie is the 1998 sequel to the 1968 adaptation of the 1965 Neil Simon Broadway play, The Odd Couple. Yes, they made a sequel to The Odd Couple. Yes, 30 years later. They certainly weren't cashing in on a hot IP so surely they had a story that needed to be told, right? 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 16:59- The Odd Couple II review 52:38- Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.
