Behind the scenes look at a beloved movie every week, followed by an in-depth review and discussion, giving film lovers and pop culture enthusiasts a complete deep dive with every episode. Matt Stokes and Laci Roth rent a movie from the video store, spend the week obsessing over it, and then tell you all about it. They spend the week watching, re-watching, researching, reading interviews, and reading the source material of the week's movie. Whether it's a blockbuster from the past, an all-time flop, or a cult classic, they unpack the history behind its production and the people who made it, then discuss, review, and make fun of the movie itself. New episodes every Friday. Formerly known as Load Bearing Beams.
