    This indie film was a juggernaut in the late 90s and is usually credited as being the film that first mainstreamed the "found footage" subgenre. Since release it's been a divisive movie with some audiences finding the lack of anything happening dull and a waste of time, whilst others find an oddly compelling sense of dread in the lack of any "real" events. Jamie and Rory are coming at the movie from opposite directions and discuss how they think the film plays today.

    This week we're talking about the Sandman, no not the Neil Gaiman Netflix show but Adam Sandler. It's undeniable that Sandler has built a lengthy career in Hollywood although the quality of that career is up for discussion. On today's episode Jamie and Rory discuss one of the more unique (albeit oft-forgotten) of Sander's oeuvre; 2006's Click. What begins as a very by-the-numbers Sander comedy about a man who gifted a universal remote that let's him...well, control his universe, this movie takes a SHARP turn around the middle portion of the film that transforms it into a completely different movie. Do these two halves coexist? Does one impact the other? Let's find out!

    We're going waaaay back on the podcast this week as we review one of Rory's all time favourite movies, the Marx Brothers' classic "Animal Crackers." The second movie from the vaudeville stars, catapulted the boys to stardom, but does their sense of humour still play in 2026?
