What Movie Should We Do Next?

We review Sheep Detective with our three-part method, then use a talking-sheep murder mystery to get weirdly personal about memory, grief, and what we choose to carry. The jokes land, the whiskey shows up, and the “golden path” turns a simple family film into a sharp rant about algorithm-fed reality.
• our mind-altering setup with propranolol and bourbon
• quick plot rundown: sheep gain agency, farmer dies, mystery begins
• category ratings for acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability
• why the movie works as a kid-friendly bridge to death and loss
• missed opportunities with forgetting and the unreliable narrator angle
• the “golden path” on trauma, empathy, and the comfort of pain
• media silos, TikTok-fed opinions, and how platforms shape beliefs
• inserting ourselves into the story with alternate characters and darker stakes
• closing spiral on insurance incentives and daily-life absurdity

3/5.

What Movie Should We Do Next?

We rate Supergirl across acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability, then land on why the movie feels like a stack of missed chances instead of a character-driven breakout. We also call out how misogyny poisons the conversation while still insisting the writing has to earn its moral message.
• our three-part review method and what we are taking beforehand
• budget and marketing shock compared with what lands onscreen
• the plot setup with Kara, Ruthie, Krypto’s 72-hour timer, and Lobo
• acting takes on Millie Alcock, Jason Momoa, and the side cast
• cinematography highs including the intergalactic bus and truck stop
• score choices that either fit the character or break immersion
• plot problems with the ticking clock and a thin villain motivation
• the culture war problem and why it muddies real film criticism
• world building lessons from The Fifth Element and Chekhov’s gun limits
• the revenge morality that collapses under its own logic
• how we would rewrite Supergirl around trauma, therapy, and consequences
Listen to all our other stuff too. Yeah, just go down the list.

2.5/5

What Movie Should We Do Next?

We rewatch The Princess Bride as adults and rate it across acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability, then argue our way to a definitive 4.5 out of 5. Along the way we get into what makes the movie feel so alive, why modern media often feels soulless, and how money and AI can crush the point of making art.
• Our three-part method for reviewing a movie while drinking
• Quick plot recap and why the framing device works
• Acting highs and lows from Elwes to Shawn to Andre
• Cinematography that feels like a storybook on purpose
• Mark Knopfler’s score and why it sticks
• Plot twists, quotable dialogue, and why it never feels old
• Rewatchability as the real “classic” metric
• Westley’s harsh lines and how to read them now
• Earnestness, low budgets, and the kind of craft money cannot buy
• Dropping ourselves into the film and turning it into a background gag
