  • The Sword of Doom & The Wild Bunch

    The Sword of Doom & The Wild Bunch
    Jun 16 2026
    With this episode's double feature, we decided to pair two revisionist genre masterworks from opposite sides of the globe: Kihachi Okamoto’s The Sword of Doom (1966) and Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch (1969). Though separated by culture, setting, and weaponry, both films offer blistering end-of-an-era commentaries that dismantle the myths surrounding their respective genres. Join us as we examine doomed antiheroes, collapsing moral codes, and the violent reckonings that emerge when old worlds refuse to quietly fade away. Before crossing paths with nihilistic ronin and aging outlaws, our Blue Plate Special returns with a fresh helping of cinematic and otherwise timely discussion. We share some thoughts on the ongoing World Cup, unpack Quentin Tarantino’s recent comments on the current state of Hollywood cinema, and offer reviews of several new releases, including Backrooms, I Love Boosters, and Disclosure Day.

  • Saving Private Ryan & The Thin Red Line

    Saving Private Ryan & The Thin Red Line
    May 22 2026
    Ahead of Memorial Day weekend, Ticket Stubs heads to the front lines with a towering double feature of modern war epics: Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan (1998) and Terrence Malick’s The Thin Red Line (1998). Though released within months of one another, the two films approach warfare from radically different angles: one through visceral spectacle and brotherhood under fire, the other through meditative existential reflection and the fragile relationship between man and nature. Join us as we examine how these companion pieces helped redefine the modern war film while wrestling with memory, sacrifice, violence, and the impossibility of making sense of the defining conflict of the 20th century. Before storming the beaches and wandering the tall grass, our Blue Plate Special returns with a fresh batch of cinematic chatter. This time around, we share thoughts on a slate of recent releases, including Maggie Gyllenhaal’s long-awaited The Bride!, Lee Cronin’s new take on The Mummy, the mysterious romantic drama The Drama, the music-fueled fever dream Mother Mary, and the psychological horror thriller Obsession. Whether you’re spending Memorial Day revisiting war movie classics or simply looking for a thoughtful cinematic pairing to kick off the summer season, we’re glad to have you with us.

  • Best of 2025

    Best of 2025
    Mar 27 2026
    The Oscars may have come and gone, the speeches have been made, and the dust has (mostly) settled—but here at Ticket Stubs, we’re not quite finished with 2025 just yet. A little late, perhaps, but right on time where it counts, we’re officially closing the book on the cinematic year that was with our 3rd Annual Harry Dean Awards—the true final word on awards season. Join us as we take one last affectionate look back at the highs, lows, and, above all else, the most memorable moments in film from the past year. From defining performances and standout directorial efforts to our favorite oddball distinctions, returning legends, and everything in between, we sort through a wide array of categories both heartfelt and slightly irreverent. As always, it all builds toward our ultimate honors: Filmmaker of the Year and Film of the Year. Awards season may have crowned its winners—but now it’s our turn to have the final say.
