CTP 215: Disclosure Day
We have made it to Disclosure Day! This marks the end of our Spielberg Through the Decades series with our 2020s pick, the new film in theaters. The film received mixed reviews from audiences, and pretty good notices from critics, but how did we feel it stacks up to Spielberg's filmography? Stay tuned to the end of the show to hear our rankings of all of Spielberg's films that we've seen. Next, we start our journey through the Selected Christopher Nolan Filmography with the film that put him on the map, Memento, then we'll follow that up with The Prestige!

CTP 212: A.I. Artificial Intelligence
We're back with our 2000s pick in our Spielberg Through the Decades series, A.I. Artificial Intelligence! The project began as a film by Stanley Kubrick that Spielberg took over after Kubrick's death in 1999. Seen as an underrated gem in his filmography by many, the crew takes a look at the film in a modern lens with AI starting to take over every aspect of society. Come back next episode as we tackle the Daniel-Day Lewis lead film Lincoln from 2012!

CTP 211: Saving Private Ryan
A long time passed between our '80s selection, E.T., and now our '90s selection, Saving Private Ryan, for our Spielberg Through the Decades series, including Spielberg winning Best Director at the Oscars. The film we're reviewing has become THE World War II movie that people think of in the last almost 30 years since it's release, but does it hold up? Next episode, we'll be covering his next film, from 2001 (and of his most beloved films), A.I. Artificial Intelligence!

CTP 210: E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
We're back with Spielberg Through the Decades with our '80s selection, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial! Instead of us going with the aliens, the aliens come to us this time. This film lives in the hearts of many many audience members, but does it hold up for us who haven't seen it since we were small children? Come back next episode for our '90s selection, a much different film, Saving Private Ryan, followed by our '00s pick, A.I. Artificial Intelligence!

CTP 209: Close Encounters of the Third Kind
We start our Spielberg Through the Decades series leading up to his new film, Disclosure Day, with his seminal 1977 film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This marks his first foray into alien encounters, but most certainly would not be his last. In fact, next episode for our '80s selection we will discuss E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Following that is our '90s pick, Saving Private Ryan!

CTP 208: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
Wahoo! We're back with our continued series of reviewing the Super Mario Bros. films. The sequel to the 2023 smash film hit theaters last week, and we have our thoughts ready for you. Did this film elevate itself above the first film or fall flat on it's face? Come back next week as we start our Spielberg Through the Decades series with our 1970s pick, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

CTP 207: Scream 7
A lot happened with the Scream franchise between VI and 7, and now we are here finally with our thoughts on the new film! After a quick recap of the events that led to this being the movie that we got, the gang breaks down the movie itself and whether we want to see this franchise continue with Scream 8 potentially. This wraps up our Scream series for now, assuming 8 takes a few years to get to the silver screen. Coming up next, we're going back to theaters for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie continuing our series from when the first Illumination film released!
