Ep 108 - Sinister 2 (2015)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The home movies are back, the body count is rising, and Bughuul isn't finished with us yet! Sinister 2 returns to the disturbing supernatural world of the original film, delivering more creepy recordings, gruesome murders, and a new family caught in the middle of a terrifying nightmare.

In this R Rating podcast, we're diving into Sinister 2, the 2015 sequel to the hit supernatural horror movie Sinister. This time, we're following former deputy So & So as he investigates the mysterious murders connected to Bughuul, while a mother and her twin sons find themselves living in a house with a horrifying past.

We'll discuss the sequel's collection of disturbing Super 8 films, the creepy mythology surrounding Bughuul, the performances, the atmosphere, and the movie's attempts to recreate the dread that made the original so effective. We'll also talk about the unsettling child characters, the increasingly bizarre recordings, and whether the sequel's scares actually work.

Of course, we have to compare it to the original Sinister. Can a sequel really recapture the terror of those infamous home movies, or does showing us more of the monster make him less frightening?

Ep 107 - Sinister (2012)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000

What would you do if you moved into a house where an entire family had been murdered, only to discover a collection of disturbing home movies that might reveal the truth behind their deaths? Welcome to Sinister (2012), the supernatural horror film that proves Ethan Hawke should probably stop moving into houses where terrible things have happened.

In this R Rating podcast, we're diving into Scott Derrickson's Sinister, starring Ethan Hawke as true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt. Desperate to write another bestselling book, Ellison moves his family into a house connected to a gruesome murder. When he discovers a box of mysterious Super 8 films in the attic, he uncovers a horrifying pattern of killings that puts his entire family in danger.

We'll discuss the film's creepy atmosphere, disturbing found-footage sequences, unsettling soundtrack, and the increasingly terrifying mystery surrounding the supernatural entity known as Bughuul. We'll also talk about Ethan Hawke's performance, the questionable decisions made by the characters, and why those home movies are so incredibly effective at getting under your skin.

Is Sinister one of the scariest horror movies of the 2010s? Does it deliver genuine nightmares, or does the explanation behind its mystery take away some of the terror? And most importantly, will we ever look at an old home movie the same way again?

Join us as we break down the scares, the story, the disturbing imagery, and everything that makes Sinister such a memorable entry in modern supernatural horror.

Ep 106 - S. Darko (2009)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 20:00:00 +0000

THE DARKO STORY CONTINUES… BUT SHOULD IT HAVE?

After the mind-bending cult classic Donnie Darko, we return to that strange world with S. Darko, following Donnie's younger sister Samantha as she begins experiencing her own bizarre visions, strange dreams, and increasingly disturbing events.

In this R Rating podcast, we dive into S. Darko, the controversial follow-up to Donnie Darko, and discuss whether this sequel actually adds anything meaningful to the original story—or if some movies are better left alone.

We'll talk about Samantha Darko, the mysterious characters she encounters, the strange sci-fi elements, time travel, visions, symbolism, and the movie's attempts to recreate the weird, unsettling atmosphere that made Donnie Darko such a cult classic.

We'll also compare S. Darko directly to the original, discuss its story and characters, and tackle the biggest question of all:

Is S. Darko a worthy continuation of the Darko universe… or a sequel nobody asked for?

Ep 105 - Dead Again (1991)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000

What if the person you love is someone you've already loved… and murdered… in a past life? Dead Again is a twist-filled mystery thriller that blends romance, murder, reincarnation, and psychological suspense into one seriously intriguing cinematic puzzle.

Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Dead Again stars Branagh and Emma Thompson in a story that jumps between present-day Los Angeles and 1940s Hollywood. When a woman suffering from amnesia is discovered with no memory of who she is, a private investigator becomes involved in uncovering her identity. But as the investigation progresses, disturbing connections emerge between her story and a decades-old murder.

In this R Rating movie review, we break down Dead Again, exploring its mysterious premise, atmospheric direction, performances, and increasingly complicated twists. We'll discuss Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson's performances, the film's noir-inspired style, its use of flashbacks, and how it weaves together two timelines to create a mystery filled with secrets and suspicion.

We'll also look at the film's themes of reincarnation, fate, love, obsession, and whether the past can ever truly be escaped. Does the mystery successfully keep you guessing, or do the twists become a little too much? And does Dead Again deserve more recognition as an underrated thriller from the 1990s?

Ep 104 - Donnie Darko (2001)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

A creepy rabbit, time travel, the end of the world, a mysterious countdown, teenage angst, and enough symbolism to make your brain hurt—Donnie Darko is definitely not your average movie.

In this R Rating podcast, we dive headfirst into Richard Kelly's bizarre 2001 cult classic starring Jake Gyllenhaal. We'll talk about Donnie, Frank the Rabbit, the strange events surrounding the end of the world, and the many theories surrounding exactly what happened throughout the movie.

We'll discuss the film's characters, dark humour, soundtrack, themes of fate, free will, death, destiny, and reality, and whether the movie actually makes sense—or if we're all just pretending we understand it.

We'll also tackle that ending, the time-travel mythology, and why Donnie Darko has developed such a massive cult following over the years.

So grab a beer, put on your Halloween costume, and prepare to ask the most important question of the night:

What the hell is Frank the Rabbit?!

Ep 103 - Incredibles 2 (2018)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The Incredibles are BACK!

After waiting 14 years for a sequel, Pixar finally brought the Parr family back to the big screen with The Incredibles 2. But was the wait actually worth it?

In this R Rating podcast, we sit down and talk all things The Incredibles 2—from Elastigirl stepping into the spotlight and Mr. Incredible taking on the role of stay-at-home dad, to Violet and Dash dealing with their own problems and Jack-Jack discovering that he might just be the most powerful member of the family.

We'll talk about the movie's story, comedy, animation, action sequences, characters, and all the ways it compares to the original The Incredibles. We'll also discuss whether Pixar successfully recaptured the magic of the first movie or if this sequel feels like a case of "better late than never."

And of course… we need to talk about Jack-Jack.

Was The Incredibles 2 worth the 14-year wait? Does it live up to the original? And where does it rank among Pixar's many sequels?

Ep 102 - Terminator Dark Fate (2019)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The future keeps changing, but apparently the Terminators just won't quit! Terminator: Dark Fate attempts to hit the reset button on the franchise by ignoring several previous sequels and continuing the story after Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

In this R Rating movie review, we dive into Terminator: Dark Fate, featuring the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-800 and Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor. We’ll also talk about Mackenzie Davis as Grace, Natalia Reyes as Dani Ramos, and Gabriel Luna as the deadly Rev-9.

We'll break down the movie's explosive action, chase sequences, visual effects, performances, and attempt to recapture the tone and spirit of the first two Terminator films. We'll also discuss the controversial decision to alter the franchise's mythology and introduce a new generation of characters.

Does Dark Fate actually deliver the Terminator sequel fans had been waiting for, or does the franchise once again struggle to escape the shadow of Terminator 2?

And with Sarah Connor back in the fight, the T-800 returning, and a brand-new Terminator hunting down humanity's next hope… can Dark Fate finally get the franchise back on track?

Ep 101 - Snowpiercer (2013)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

All of humanity is frozen… except for the people trapped on a train endlessly circling the Earth. Welcome aboard Snowpiercer.

Bong Joon Ho’s Snowpiercer is a bizarre, brutal, and surprisingly thought-provoking sci-fi thriller where the last survivors of humanity live aboard a massive train divided by social class. At the very back of the train, the poorest passengers are crammed together in horrific conditions. At the front? Luxury, privilege, and a completely different world.

In this R Rating movie review, we take a trip through the frozen wasteland and break down Snowpiercer—from Chris Evans’ performance as Curtis to the film’s strange characters, insane action sequences, dark humour, disturbing moments, and absolutely bonkers world-building.

We’ll also dive into the movie’s themes of class division, inequality, power, rebellion, and social control, while looking at how Bong Joon Ho uses every section of the train to tell a different part of the story.

And then there’s that ending…

Is Snowpiercer one of the most creative post-apocalyptic movies of its generation, or does its bizarre storytelling go completely off the rails?

Ep 100 - Terminator Genisys (2015)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The timeline is broken, Sarah Connor knows too much, and apparently even the Terminator franchise has decided to rewrite its own history! Terminator Genisys takes the familiar Terminator mythology and throws it into an alternate timeline where absolutely nothing is quite what we remember.

In this R Rating movie review, we dive into Terminator Genisys, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, and Jason Clarke. We’ll discuss the film’s time-travelling story, its alternate take on Sarah Connor and John Connor, the return of the T-800, and the decision to completely remix some of the franchise’s most iconic moments.

We’ll also look at the action, visual effects, performances, humour, callbacks to the original movies, and whether all the timeline twists actually work—or just make an already complicated franchise even more confusing.

Does Terminator Genisys successfully reinvent the Terminator timeline, or does it prove that some timelines are better left alone? And most importantly… is Arnold still enough to save the franchise?

Ep 99 - Terminator Salvation (2009)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The future is finally here—and it’s a war zone! Terminator Salvation takes the Terminator franchise out of the present day and into the post-apocalyptic future, where John Connor leads humanity’s resistance against Skynet and its army of machines.

In this R Rating movie review, we dive into Terminator Salvation, exploring its bleak future setting, explosive action sequences, performances, visual effects, and attempt to expand the mythology beyond the original films. We’ll discuss Christian Bale’s John Connor, Sam Worthington’s mysterious Marcus Wright, Anton Yelchin’s performance as Kyle Reese, and the film’s take on the early days of the human-machine war.

We’ll also look at the movie’s practical effects, CGI, production design, pacing, and how successfully it captures the atmosphere of the original Terminator movies. Does the film deliver the gritty future-war story fans had been waiting for, or does it lose something by moving away from the franchise’s roots?

Is Terminator Salvation an underrated sci-fi action movie, a missed opportunity, or a sequel that never quite finds its identity?

Ep 98 - Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines (2003)

Dan Tyler — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The machines are back, and this time Judgment Day is closer than ever! Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines brings Arnold Schwarzenegger’s iconic T-800 back into the fight, introduces the deadly T-X, and puts John Connor on the run as the future of humanity hangs in the balance.

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Terminator 3, discussing its story, action sequences, visual effects, characters, and place within the Terminator franchise. We’ll look at the return of the T-800, John Connor’s development, the introduction of the Terminatrix, and how the film handles the impossible task of following Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

We’ll also discuss the movie’s darker themes, its mix of serious sci-fi and lighter humour, and that controversial ending that completely changes the direction of the franchise.

Does Terminator 3 deserve more respect, or is it forever trapped in the shadow of Terminator 2? Is this an underrated sequel, a disappointing follow-up, or a surprisingly important chapter in the Terminator saga?

Ep 97 - No Escape (1994)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Ray Liotta finds himself stranded on a prison island in No Escape, a gritty 1990s sci-fi action thriller that deserves a lot more attention. With a fascinating dystopian setting, brutal survival action, and a story about redemption, this is the kind of movie that feels like a forgotten gem from a golden era of action cinema.

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into No Escape (1994), breaking down Ray Liotta's performance as Captain J.T. Robbins, the film's unique prison island concept, its world-building, action sequences, and the surprisingly thoughtful themes of freedom, morality, and human nature.

We'll talk about the rival factions, the brutal conditions of the island, the film's practical effects, and why No Escape stands out among other 1990s dystopian action movies. Is this one of Ray Liotta's most underrated performances? Does the movie deserve to be rediscovered by fans of classic sci-fi and action films?

Ep 96 - Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)

Hasta la vista, baby!

Terminator 2: Judgment Day isn't just one of the greatest sequels ever made—it is widely considered one of the greatest action movies of all time. James Cameron took everything that made The Terminator work and made it bigger, more emotional, more ambitious, and absolutely unforgettable.

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Terminator 2: Judgment Day, looking at James Cameron's incredible direction, Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic return as the T-800, Linda Hamilton's legendary transformation as Sarah Connor, and Robert Patrick's terrifying T-1000.

We'll talk about the groundbreaking visual effects, incredible practical stunts, unforgettable action sequences, Brad Fiedel's iconic score, and why the T-1000 changed visual effects forever. From the Galleria Mall chase and the mental hospital escape to the legendary Cyberdyne assault and the devastating finale, T2 delivers some of the greatest action sequences ever put on screen.

We'll also discuss John Connor, played by Edward Furlong, the emotional relationship between John and the T-800, Skynet, Judgment Day, and whether Terminator 2 actually surpasses the original.

Is Terminator 2: Judgment Day the greatest action sequel ever made? Is it James Cameron's masterpiece? And after more than 30 years, does T2 still hold up as the gold standard for blockbuster filmmaking?

Ep 95 - The Terminator (1984)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

“I’ll be back.”

Before Terminator 2: Judgment Day became one of the biggest action movies of all time, James Cameron introduced audiences to a much darker, leaner, and more terrifying sci-fi thriller: The Terminator.

Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the unstoppable T-800, The Terminator follows Sarah Connor as she becomes the target of a machine sent back through time to prevent the future leader of humanity from ever being born. With Kyle Reese sent back to protect her, a relentless battle for survival begins.

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into The Terminator (1984), breaking down James Cameron's incredible direction, Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic performance, Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor, Michael Biehn's Kyle Reese, and the low-budget filmmaking that helped create one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made.

We'll talk about the film's incredible practical effects, the terrifying stop-motion sequences, Brad Fiedel's iconic score, the time travel paradox, and why the T-800 remains one of cinema's greatest villains. We'll also explore how The Terminator perfectly blends science fiction, horror, action, and romance.

Is The Terminator still one of the greatest sci-fi action movies ever made? Does the original hold up against the massive spectacle of Terminator 2? And is Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-800 more terrifying here than in any other movie in the franchise?

Ep 94 - The Incredibles (2004)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Before the superhero movie genre completely took over Hollywood, Pixar gave us The Incredibles—a superhero movie that somehow manages to be an incredible family film, action movie, comedy, and superhero adventure all at once.

Directed by Brad Bird, The Incredibles follows the Parr family as they try to live normal lives after superheroes are forced into retirement. But when Bob Parr, aka Mr. Incredible, gets the chance to return to action, he soon finds himself facing the dangerous and unforgettable Syndrome.

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into The Incredibles, breaking down its incredible animation, action sequences, humor, characters, and why it remains one of Pixar's most beloved films.

We'll talk about Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Violet, Dash, and baby Jack-Jack, as well as the incredible villain Syndrome and his unforgettable plan. We'll also discuss the film's surprisingly mature themes surrounding family, identity, aging, and what happens when people are forced to hide who they truly are.

More than 20 years later, does The Incredibles still hold up as one of the greatest animated movies ever made? And is it actually one of the best superhero movies—animated or live-action?

Ep 93 - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Harrison Ford puts on the fedora one final time as Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. After the divisive Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Indy returns for another globe-trotting adventure involving Nazis, ancient history, a mysterious artifact, and a race against time.

This time, Indy is joined by his goddaughter Helena Shaw, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, as they search for the legendary Antikythera, a device capable of changing the course of history. But with former Nazi scientist Jürgen Voller hot on their trail, Indy finds himself pulled into one final adventure.

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, looking at Harrison Ford's performance, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Helena Shaw, Mads Mikkelsen's villain, the action sequences, de-aging technology, CGI, and James Mangold's attempt to close out one of cinema's most iconic franchises.

We'll talk about the opening World War II sequence, the motorcycle chase, the underwater wreckage, the Antikythera, the time-travel elements, and that absolutely bonkers third act. We'll also discuss whether Dial of Destiny feels like a genuine Indiana Jones adventure or simply another attempt to keep a beloved franchise alive.

Does Dial of Destiny give Indiana Jones the ending he deserves? Is Harrison Ford's final adventure worthy of the character's legacy? And can it finally make us forget about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

Ep 92 - Nimona (2023)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

What happens when a knight is framed for a crime he didn't commit and the only person willing to help him is a chaotic, shape-shifting teenager? You get Nimona—one of Netflix's most creative, funny, heartfelt, and surprisingly emotional animated movies.

Based on the graphic novel by ND Stevenson, Nimona blends fantasy, science fiction, comedy, action, and genuine emotional storytelling into a story about identity, acceptance, friendship, and challenging the systems that tell us who we're supposed to be.

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Nimona, looking at its animation style, humor, action sequences, characters, voice performances, and surprisingly mature themes. We'll talk about Nimona herself, Ballister Boldheart, Ambrosius Goldenloin, the futuristic medieval world, and the film's exploration of identity and acceptance.

We'll also discuss the movie's journey from a cancelled Blue Sky Studios project to a Netflix release, the incredible voice cast, and why Nimona became such a pleasant surprise for animation fans.

Is Nimona one of Netflix's best animated movies? Does it deserve to be mentioned alongside modern animated classics like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse? And why does this seemingly goofy animated adventure hit so much harder than expected?

Ep 91 - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Nearly 20 years after The Last Crusade, Harrison Ford finally returned as Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Steven Spielberg was back behind the camera, George Lucas was back with a new story, and Indy was ready for another adventure—but this time, the Nazis were replaced by Cold War-era Soviets, ancient artifacts gave way to aliens, and the infamous Crystal Skull took center stage.

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, looking at Harrison Ford's return as Indiana Jones, Shia LaBeouf as Mutt Williams, Cate Blanchett as Irina Spalko, and Karen Allen's return as Marion Ravenwood.

We'll talk about the infamous nuclear fridge scene, the jungle chase, the monkey sequence, the CGI, the infamous swinging monkeys, and—of course—the movie's controversial alien and interdimensional beings storyline. We'll also discuss whether the film captures the spirit of the original Indiana Jones trilogy or feels like a product of its time.

Was Kingdom of the Crystal Skull unfairly hated? Is it actually a fun Indiana Jones adventure buried underneath some questionable CGI and story choices? Or did the franchise finally go one adventure too far?

Ep 90 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

After the dark and divisive Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones returned to the spirit of Raiders of the Lost Ark for one final adventure with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas at the helm. But this time, Indy isn't going it alone. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade introduces Sean Connery as Henry Jones Sr., giving us one of the greatest father-and-son duos in blockbuster history.

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, breaking down Harrison Ford's return as Indiana Jones, Sean Connery's unforgettable performance as his father, the incredible chemistry between the two, and why this sequel is considered by many fans to be one of the best entries in the entire franchise.

We'll talk about the search for the Holy Grail, the Nazi villains, the opening sequence featuring a young Indiana Jones, the Venice boat chase, the tank battle, and the iconic leap of faith. We'll also discuss John Williams' legendary score, the practical effects, and whether The Last Crusade successfully brought the original Indiana Jones trilogy to a perfect conclusion.

Is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade the best Indiana Jones sequel? Does it rival Raiders of the Lost Ark? And is this the perfect ending to Indy's original trilogy?

Ep 89 - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

After the massive success of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas took Indiana Jones in a much darker, stranger, and more controversial direction with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. From the unforgettable opening in Club Obi Wan to the terrifying Temple of Kali and the legendary mine cart chase, this prequel is unlike any other movie in the franchise.

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, breaking down Harrison Ford's performance as Indiana Jones, Steven Spielberg's darker direction, the incredible practical effects, John Williams' iconic score, and some of the most memorable action sequences in the entire series.

We'll talk about Willie Scott, Short Round, Mola Ram, the infamous heart-ripping scene, the Thuggee cult, and whether Temple of Doom deserves its reputation as the darkest and most divisive Indiana Jones movie. We'll also discuss how the film helped contribute to the creation of the PG-13 rating and why its darker tone still stands out decades later.

Is Temple of Doom an underrated adventure classic? Or is it the weakest chapter in the original Indiana Jones trilogy?

Ep 88 - American History X (1998)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

American History X is one of the most powerful, disturbing, and emotionally devastating dramas of the 1990s. Featuring an unforgettable performance from Edward Norton, the film explores racism, hate, violence, family, and the difficult possibility of redemption.

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into American History X, breaking down Edward Norton's performance as Derek Vinyard, Edward Furlong as his younger brother Danny, the film's striking black-and-white cinematography, and its unflinching examination of how hate can spread through families and communities.

We'll discuss Derek's journey, the film's portrayal of radicalization and redemption, the impact of his past on Danny, and why American History X remains such a difficult but important film to revisit. We'll also explore the movie's controversial moments, powerful imagery, and devastating ending.

Does American History X still hold up as one of the most powerful dramas of its era? And does its message feel even more relevant today?

If you're a fan of Edward Norton movies, powerful dramas, 1990s films, or movie reviews that dig beneath the surface, this episode is for you.

Ep 87 - Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Before Indiana Jones became one of cinema's greatest icons, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas unleashed Raiders of the Lost Ark—a near-perfect blend of action, adventure, mystery, comedy, and old-school serial filmmaking. But after more than four decades, does this legendary adventure still hold up?

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Raiders of the Lost Ark, looking at Harrison Ford's unforgettable performance as Indiana Jones, Steven Spielberg's direction, George Lucas' story and concept, the incredible practical stunts, John Williams' iconic score, and the film's unforgettable action sequences.

We'll talk about the opening temple sequence, the truck chase, Indiana's rivalry with René Belloq, Marion Ravenwood, the Nazis, the search for the Ark of the Covenant, and that legendary finale. We'll also explore why Raiders of the Lost Ark remains one of the gold standards for adventure movies and blockbuster filmmaking.

Is Raiders of the Lost Ark the greatest adventure movie ever made? Or has decades of imitation taken some of the magic away?

Ep 86 - Mortal Kombat 2 (2026)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The fight continues! Mortal Kombat 2 brings the brutal video game franchise back to the big screen, with returning warriors, new characters, bigger battles, and even more fatalities. After the 2021 reboot introduced a new generation of fighters, does the sequel finally deliver the full-on Mortal Kombat experience fans have been waiting for?

In this R Rating movie review, we break down Mortal Kombat 2 with an honest look at the story, characters, fight choreography, fatalities, visual effects, and how well the movie captures the spirit of the games. We'll talk about the returning cast, the new additions to the roster, the evolution of Cole Young, and the continuing rivalry between legendary fighters like Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

We'll also discuss how Mortal Kombat 2 compares to the 2021 reboot, whether the sequel improves on its predecessor, and whether the filmmakers finally understand what makes the Mortal Kombat games so much fun.

Does Mortal Kombat 2 deliver the bloody, ridiculous, over-the-top video game adaptation fans deserve—or does it get finished before the tournament even begins?

Ep 85 - Mortal Kombat (2021)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Finish him! Mortal Kombat finally returns to the big screen with a brutal, R-rated reboot packed with iconic characters, ridiculous fatalities, martial arts action, and plenty of blood. But does this new adaptation actually deliver the video game movie fans have been waiting for?

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into Mortal Kombat (2021), looking at its story, characters, fight choreography, visual effects, fatalities, and connections to the legendary video game franchise. We'll talk about Scorpion and Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Raiden, Sonya Blade, Jax, Kano, and the decision to introduce Cole Young as the movie's central character.

We'll also discuss the film's incredible opening sequence, the rivalry between Scorpion and Sub-Zero, the balance between fan service and storytelling, and whether Mortal Kombat finally gets the violence and brutality of the games right.

Is Mortal Kombat the best video game adaptation yet? Or does all the blood and fan service fail to hide a weak story?

Ep 84 - A Star Is Born (2018)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born became one of the biggest romantic dramas of 2018, combining incredible music, powerful performances, and a heartbreaking story about love, fame, addiction, and self-destruction. But more than 90 years after the original story was first brought to the screen, does this latest version still have something meaningful to say?

In this R Rating movie review, we take a deep dive into A Star Is Born, looking at Bradley Cooper's directorial debut and his performance as troubled musician Jackson Maine, as well as Lady Gaga's breakout dramatic performance as Ally. We'll talk about the film's incredible soundtrack, its depiction of addiction and alcoholism, the complicated relationship between Jackson and Ally, and why the movie's emotional impact continues to resonate with audiences.

We'll also discuss the chemistry between Cooper and Gaga, the film's Oscar-nominated music, the incredible concert sequences, and the devastating final act. Is A Star Is Born one of the best musical dramas of the modern era, or does its emotional manipulation go too far?

Ep 83 - 22 Jump Street (2014)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

22 Jump Street takes everything that made 21 Jump Street hilarious and turns it up to eleven. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum return as Schmidt and Jenko, this time going undercover at college to track down a drug dealer. But can a sequel that openly admits it's repeating the same formula actually be as funny as the original?

In this R Rating movie review, we break down 22 Jump Street with an honest look at its comedy, action, ridiculous set pieces, and the incredible chemistry between Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. We'll talk about the movie's hilarious self-awareness, its constant jokes about sequels, the supporting cast, Ice Cube's return as Captain Dickson, and why Phil Lord and Christopher Miller managed to make a sequel that might be even more entertaining than the original.

We'll also discuss the movie's surprisingly great emotional core, Schmidt and Jenko's friendship, the college setting, and whether 22 Jump Street proves that sometimes the best way to make a sequel is to simply make fun of sequels.

Is 22 Jump Street one of the greatest comedy sequels ever made? Does it actually surpass 21 Jump Street? Or is it just the same movie with a bigger budget and more explosions?

Ep 82 - 21 Jump Street (2012)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

21 Jump Street takes a classic 80s TV show and turns it into one of the funniest and most unexpectedly self-aware action comedies of the 2010s. Starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, this buddy-cop comedy follows two wildly different police officers who go undercover as high school students—and quickly discover that high school has changed a lot since they were there.

In this R Rating movie review, we break down 21 Jump Street with an honest look at its outrageous comedy, action, chemistry between Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, and the surprisingly clever way the movie pokes fun at Hollywood reboots and remakes. We'll talk about the film's hilarious supporting cast, Ice Cube's unforgettable performance, the ridiculous undercover mission, and why 21 Jump Street works so much better than a movie based on an old TV show probably has any right to.

Is 21 Jump Street one of the best comedy reboots ever made? Does it still hold up more than a decade later? And how did this ridiculous concept somehow turn into a genuinely great buddy-cop movie?

Ep 81 - Greenland 2 (2026)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Gerard Butler returns in Greenland 2: Migration, continuing the Garrity family's fight for survival in a world forever changed by the comet that devastated Earth. Trading the immediate tension of the first film for a post-apocalyptic journey, this sequel expands the scope of the story—but does it live up to the surprisingly grounded original?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Greenland 2: Migration with an honest look at its action, performances, world-building, emotional stakes, and survival thriller elements. We'll discuss Gerard Butler's return as John Garrity, the film's post-apocalyptic setting, the new challenges facing the family, and whether the sequel successfully builds on what made Greenland such an unexpected hit.

Does Greenland 2: Migration expand the story in meaningful ways, or does it fall into the trap of repeating the original? Is this a worthy continuation of one of the most underrated disaster movies in recent years?

If you're a fan of disaster movies, post-apocalyptic thrillers, Gerard Butler action films, or movie reviews that go beyond surface-level opinions, this episode is for you.

Ep 80 - Greenland (2020)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Greenland proves that not every disaster movie needs to be about giant explosions and over-the-top spectacle. Instead, this tense survival thriller focuses on one family's desperate fight to stay alive as a planet-killing comet races toward Earth. Led by Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin, Greenland delivers suspense, emotion, and a surprisingly grounded take on the end of the world.

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Greenland with an honest look at its gripping story, emotional performances, relentless pacing, and realistic approach to a global catastrophe. We'll talk about Gerard Butler's performance, the film's focus on family over spectacle, Ric Roman Waugh's direction, and why Greenland stands out from other modern disaster movies.

Is Greenland one of the most underrated disaster films of the last decade? Does its grounded storytelling make it more effective than bigger-budget apocalypse blockbusters? Join me as we revisit one of the genre's biggest surprises.

If you're a fan of disaster movies, survival thrillers, Gerard Butler films, or movie reviews that dive deeper into what makes a film work, this one's for you.

Ep 79 - American Beauty (1999)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 12:13:04 +0000

American Beauty is one of the most celebrated—and controversial—films to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Directed by Sam Mendes, this dark suburban drama explores identity, desire, family dysfunction, and the illusion of the American Dream. More than two decades later, does it still deserve its reputation as a modern classic?

In this R Rating movie review, I take an honest look at American Beauty, breaking down its themes, performances, cinematography, and lasting impact on cinema. We'll discuss Kevin Spacey's performance as Lester Burnham in the context of the film itself, Annette Bening's unforgettable portrayal of Carolyn, Sam Mendes' stunning directorial debut, Conrad Hall's Oscar-winning cinematography, Thomas Newman's haunting score, and the film's sharp critique of materialism, beauty, and suburban life.

Has American Beauty stood the test of time, or has its legacy changed with the passing years? Does its message remain as powerful today as it was in 1999? Join me as we revisit one of the most discussed films of the modern era.

If you're a fan of dramas, Oscar-winning movies, thought-provoking cinema, or movie reviews that go beyond surface-level opinions, this episode is for you.

Ep 78 - Sing Street (2016)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

This week on R Rating, we're talking about one of the most charming and underrated coming-of-age musicals ever made: Sing Street.

Set in 1980s Dublin, Sing Street follows a teenager who starts a band to impress a girl, only to discover his passion for music, friendship, and finding his own identity. With an incredible soundtrack, unforgettable original songs, and a heartfelt story, it's a film that has quietly become a modern favorite. But does it deserve to be considered one of the best coming-of-age movies of the last decade?

In this episode, we dive into Sing Street, exploring its themes of creativity, family, first love, and the power of music. We discuss John Carney's direction, the outstanding performances, the film's authentic 1980s atmosphere, and why its original soundtrack has resonated with audiences around the world. We also examine how Sing Street compares to Carney's other music-driven films like Once and Begin Again.

Whether you've loved this film for years or are discovering it for the first time, join us as we celebrate one of the most uplifting and emotionally satisfying musical dramas in recent memory.

Ep 77 - Primer (2004)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Primer is one of the most mind-bending indie sci-fi films ever made. Created on an incredibly small budget, the film dives deep into the complexities of time travel, trust, and unintended consequences—without holding the audience’s hand.

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Primer with an honest look at its dense storytelling, realistic approach to time travel, and the film’s reputation as one of the most intellectually challenging sci-fi movies ever made. We’ll talk about the film’s low-budget production, the layered timeline, the paranoia that grows between the main characters, and why Primer still sparks debate among sci-fi fans years after its release.

Is Primer a genius piece of independent filmmaking—or a puzzle that’s almost too complicated for its own good?

Ep 76 - Rumble in the Bronx (1995)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Rumble in the Bronx helped introduce Jackie Chan to mainstream Western audiences and remains one of the most iconic martial arts action films of the 90s. Packed with insane stunts, fast-paced fight choreography, and Chan’s signature mix of comedy and action, the film became a gateway to Hong Kong cinema for many fans.

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Rumble in the Bronx with an honest look at Jackie Chan’s legendary stunt work, the film’s chaotic energy, its blend of action and humor, and how it compares to other martial arts classics. We’ll talk about the practical stunts, the over-the-top villains, the cultural impact of the film, and why Jackie Chan’s action style is still unmatched today.

Is Rumble in the Bronx still one of Jackie Chan’s best films—or simply a nostalgic classic that defined an era of action cinema?

Ep 75 - Romeo and Juliet (1996)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Love, tragedy, and Shakespeare with a modern twist. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into Romeo + Juliet (1996), Baz Luhrmann’s bold and unforgettable adaptation of one of the most famous love stories ever written.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, this visually stunning reimagining of William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy transports the story of the Montagues and Capulets into a chaotic modern world filled with rival gangs, explosive action, unforgettable style, and a legendary soundtrack.

Directed by Baz Luhrmann, Romeo + Juliet takes Shakespeare’s original dialogue and combines it with fast-paced editing, vibrant visuals, and a unique 90s aesthetic that helped make the film a cultural phenomenon.

Ep 69 - Kill Bill Vol 2 (2004)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The revenge story comes full circle. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into Kill Bill: Vol. 2, the second half of Quentin Tarantino’s epic revenge saga—and a very different beast compared to the explosive action of Vol. 1.

The Bride’s journey continues as she gets closer to confronting Bill himself, uncovering more about her past, her training, and the events that led to her brutal betrayal. While Vol. 1 focused on stylized action and nonstop energy, Vol. 2 slows things down, delivering more dialogue, character depth, and emotional weight.

But does this shift in tone work? Or does it take away from what made the first film so exciting?

Revenge has never looked this stylish. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Quentin Tarantino's action masterpiece that blends martial arts, samurai cinema, spaghetti westerns, anime, and exploitation films into one unforgettable cinematic experience.

Ep 63 - The Great Outdoors (1988)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 12:00:00 +0000

What could possibly go wrong on a relaxing family vacation? In this episode of R Rating, we dive into The Great Outdoors, the beloved 80s comedy that pairs comedy legends John Candy and Dan Aykroyd in one of the decade’s most memorable family comedies.

When Chet Ripley plans a peaceful getaway with his family at a lakeside cabin, his vacation is turned upside down by the surprise arrival of his loud, obnoxious brother-in-law Roman Craig and his family. What follows is a hilarious battle of personalities filled with awkward situations, outrageous antics, and some truly unforgettable comedy moments.

Written by John Hughes, The Great Outdoors combines heart, humor, and classic 80s charm to create a comedy that has stood the test of time.

Ep 62 - Predator Badlands (2025)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The Predator franchise has never looked like this before. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into Predator: Badlands, the bold new chapter from director Dan Trachtenberg that completely flips the formula by making a Predator the hero of the story.

Set on a dangerous alien world, Predator: Badlands follows Dek, a young Yautja outcast on a deadly quest to prove himself. Along the way, he forms an unlikely alliance that turns this sci-fi action adventure into one of the most unique entries in the franchise's history. Critics praised the film's fresh perspective, ambitious world-building, and emotional core, while some longtime fans were divided by its lighter tone and PG-13 approach.

In this review, we break down the action, characters, visual effects, franchise lore, and whether Badlands successfully continues the momentum started by Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers. Audience reactions have been particularly strong, with many fans praising the film's willingness to take risks and expand the mythology of the Yautja.

Return to Pandora. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into Avatar: The Way of Water, James Cameron’s long-awaited sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time and a stunning continuation of the world of Pandora.

More than a decade after the events of the first film, Jake Sully and Neytiri are now raising a family while facing a new threat that forces them to leave their home and seek refuge with the ocean-dwelling Metkayina clan.

Ep 60 - Avatar (2009)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 29 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

James Cameron changed cinema forever. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into Avatar, the groundbreaking sci-fi epic that became one of the biggest movies of all time and redefined visual storytelling on the big screen.

Set on the alien world of Pandora, Avatar follows Jake Sully, a former Marine who enters the world of the Na’vi through an advanced avatar program. But as he grows closer to the planet and its people, he’s forced to choose between the corporate mission he was sent on and the world he’s come to love.

With revolutionary visual effects, immersive world-building, and massive action sequences, Avatar delivered an experience audiences had never seen before. But beyond the visuals, does the story and emotional core still hold up today?

Ep 59 - It Chapter Two (2019)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 27 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

27 years later… Pennywise returns. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into IT Chapter Two, the ambitious conclusion to Stephen King’s terrifying story that reunites the Losers’ Club for one final battle against the evil lurking beneath Derry.

Now adults, the members of the Losers’ Club are forced to return home after mysterious deaths signal Pennywise’s return. As old fears resurface and buried trauma comes back to haunt them, they must confront both the monster—and the memories they tried to leave behind.

With a massive cast including James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, and Bill Skarsgård returning as Pennywise, IT Chapter Two aims to balance horror, emotion, and an epic finale. But does it live up to the success of IT Chapter One?

Ep 58 - Moon (2009)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 25 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

What if you discovered the truth… and it changed everything? In this episode of R Rating, we dive into Moon, the thought-provoking sci-fi drama that blends isolation, mystery, and psychological tension into one of the most underrated science fiction films of the 2000s.

Starring Sam Rockwell in a career-defining performance, Moon follows Sam Bell, a lone worker nearing the end of his three-year assignment on a lunar mining station. But when strange events begin to unfold, he uncovers a shocking truth that forces him to question his identity, his mission, and the corporation he works for.

Directed by Duncan Jones, Moon delivers emotional storytelling, atmospheric sci-fi, and big ideas without relying on massive action or visual spectacle.

Ep 57 - IT Chapter One (2017)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 20 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

We all float down here… In this episode of R Rating, we dive into IT Chapter One, the terrifying and emotional horror hit that brought Stephen King’s iconic nightmare back to the big screen.

Set in the small town of Derry, Maine, the film follows the Losers’ Club—a group of outcast kids forced to confront an ancient evil that takes the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Blending coming-of-age storytelling with genuinely disturbing horror, IT Chapter One became one of the biggest and most talked-about horror movies of the decade.

In this review, we break down the scares, performances, themes, and why this adaptation connected with both horror fans and general audiences alike.

Ep 56 - The Conjuring - Last Rites

Dan Tyler — Mon, 18 May 2026 16:24:50 +0000

The Warrens return for one final terrifying case. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into The Conjuring: Last Rites, the latest chapter in one of the biggest modern horror franchises—and possibly the emotional conclusion to Ed and Lorraine Warren’s story.

After years of demonic encounters, hauntings, and supernatural investigations, Last Rites raises the stakes with a darker, more intense case that pushes the Warrens to their limits. But does this film deliver the chilling atmosphere and terrifying scares that made the original Conjuring movies horror classics?

In this review, we break down the scares, story, performances, and how this installment compares to the rest of the Conjuring universe.

Ep 55 - The Conjuring - The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 15 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Murder. Possession. The occult. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, the third main entry in the Conjuring franchise and the most controversial case yet for Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Inspired by the real-life “Devil Made Me Do It” trial, this film shifts away from the traditional haunted house formula and leans more into supernatural crime thriller territory. As the Warrens investigate a shocking murder tied to demonic possession, they uncover a dark occult conspiracy that pushes them into dangerous new territory.

But does this fresh direction help the franchise evolve… or does it lose what made the first two films so terrifying?

Ep 54 - The Conjuring 2 (2016)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 13 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The Warrens are back… and this case may be their most terrifying yet. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into The Conjuring 2, the chilling sequel that takes the supernatural horror to a whole new level.

This time, Ed and Lorraine Warren travel to London to investigate the infamous Enfield Poltergeist case — where a single mother and her children claim their home is being haunted by a dark presence. What begins as strange activity quickly escalates into one of the most intense and unsettling horror experiences of the decade.

Directed once again by James Wan, the film builds atmosphere, tension, and emotional depth while delivering some unforgettable scares — including one of horror’s most iconic villain designs.

Ep 53 - A Fish Called Wanda (1988) Patreon Pick

Dan Tyler — Tue, 12 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Chaos, comedy, and double-crosses. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into A Fish Called Wanda, the razor-sharp crime comedy that blends heist movie tension with brilliantly awkward humor.

Starring John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, and Michael Palin, the film follows a group of criminals who team up for a jewel heist—only to immediately start betraying each other. What unfolds is a hilarious mix of misunderstandings, deception, romance, and some of the most memorable comedic performances of the 80s.

In this review, we break down the story, performances, and why this film remains one of the smartest and funniest British comedies ever made.

Ep 52 - The Conjuring (2013)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 06 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Some cases should never be opened… In this episode of R Rating, we dive into The Conjuring, the chilling horror film that launched one of the most successful modern horror franchises.

Based on the real-life investigations of paranormal experts Ed and Lorraine Warren, the film follows a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse. What starts as unsettling disturbances quickly escalates into full-blown supernatural horror, delivering some of the most effective scares in recent memory.

Directed by James Wan, The Conjuring stands out for its atmosphere, tension, and reliance on practical scares rather than cheap jump scares—proving that slow-burn horror can be just as terrifying.

From its eerie build-up to its unforgettable moments, The Conjuring is a masterclass in horror filmmaking.

Ep 51 - The accountant 2 (2025)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 04 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The numbers are back… and so is the danger. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into The Accountant 2, the long-awaited follow-up to the 2016 action-thriller that blended brains, brutality, and a unique character-driven story.

With Christian Wolff returning, the sequel looks to expand on the world of high-stakes financial crime, secret organizations, and lethal precision. But will it double down on what made the original stand out, or take things in a completely new direction?

In this video, we break down everything we know so far, along with expectations, early reactions (if applicable), and how this sequel could evolve the story and characters.

Can lightning strike twice, or is this a sequel that didn’t need to happen? We’re diving into it all.

Ep 50 - The Accountant (2016)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 01 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Numbers don’t lie… but people do. In this episode of R Rating, we break down The Accountant, a unique action-thriller that blends high-level mathematics with brutal combat and a surprisingly emotional core.

Starring Ben Affleck as Christian Wolff, a highly skilled accountant with a dangerous double life, the film follows his work uncovering financial corruption for some very dangerous clients. But when he takes on a legitimate company and starts digging too deep, things spiral into a high-stakes game of survival.

In this review, we dive into the film’s mix of action, mystery, and character-driven storytelling. Does The Accountant stand out in a crowded genre, or does it struggle to balance its many ideas?

Axel Foley is BACK! In this episode of R Rating, we dive into Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, the long-awaited return of one of the most iconic cops in movie history. After decades away, Eddie Murphy steps back into the role that made him a superstar—but does this sequel still have the magic?

With familiar faces, new characters, and a modern setting, this film aims to blend nostalgia with a fresh story for a new generation.

Ep 47 - Beverly Hills Cop 3 (1994)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Axel Foley returns… but something feels different. In this episode of R Rating, we take a deep dive into Beverly Hills Cop III, the third installment in the iconic action-comedy franchise—and easily the most divisive.

This time, Axel heads back to Beverly Hills to investigate a criminal operation tied to a theme park, blending action with a more family-friendly tone. But with a shift away from the edgy humor and gritty charm of the originals, many fans have questioned whether this sequel lost what made the series so special.

In this review, we break down what changed, what works, and why this entry didn’t land the same way as the first two films.

Ep 46 - Beverly Hills Cop 2 (1987)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Axel Foley is back… and this time, it’s bigger, louder, and more action-packed. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into Beverly Hills Cop II, the high-energy sequel that reunites Eddie Murphy with the Beverly Hills crew for another wild ride.

When a series of violent crimes hits Beverly Hills, Axel returns to help crack the case—bringing his signature humor, street smarts, and chaos with him. Directed by Tony Scott, this sequel leans more into explosive action and slick 80s style, while still delivering plenty of laughs.

But does going bigger make it better? Or does it lose some of the charm that made the original such a classic?

Ep 45 - Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 12:02:00 +0000

Axel Foley is on the case! In this episode of R Rating, we revisit Beverly Hills Cop, the iconic action-comedy that helped define the genre and turned Eddie Murphy into a global superstar.

When a street-smart Detroit cop heads to Beverly Hills to solve his friend’s murder, he clashes with the polished world of high-end police work—bringing his own chaotic, hilarious style along for the ride. The result? One of the most entertaining and quotable action-comedies of the 80s.

In this review, we break down what makes Beverly Hills Cop such a classic—from Eddie Murphy’s performance and sharp humor to the action, soundtrack, and lasting impact on the genre.

Ep 44 - The NeverEnding Story 3 (1994)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The journey through Fantasia takes a very different turn. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into The NeverEnding Story III, the third and final installment in the beloved fantasy series—but is this where the magic finally runs out?

This time, Bastian returns once again to Fantasia, but the line between the real world and the fantasy world begins to blur in new ways. With a darker tone in some areas and a more chaotic, almost surreal approach, this sequel takes risks—but not all of them pay off.

In this review, we break down the story, performances, and major changes from the original film, and discuss whether this sequel adds anything meaningful to the franchise—or if it strays too far from what made The NeverEnding Story so special.

Ep 43 - The Never Ending Story 2 - The Next Chapter (1990)

The story continues… but does the magic? In this episode of R Rating, we dive into The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter, the sequel that brings us back to Fantasia—but with a very different feel from the original classic.

Bastian returns to the world of Fantasia, once again tasked with saving it from destruction—this time from a new threat known as “The Empty.” As the stakes rise, the film explores themes of confidence, identity, and the power of wishes—but does it capture the same emotional impact and wonder as the first film?

In this review, we break down what changed, what works, and where the sequel struggles compared to the beloved original.

Ep 41 - Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 21:06:58 +0000

Dinosaurs are back… and this time, it’s a whole new era. In this episode of R Rating, we react to the official trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth and break down everything from the new cast and story direction to the insane action and terrifying new dinosaurs.

Set after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, this film takes the franchise in a bold new direction, introducing a fresh group of characters on a dangerous mission to extract dinosaur DNA that could change humanity forever. () But as the trailer shows, things go VERY wrong—leading to intense survival horror vibes, massive set pieces, and some seriously wild new creatures.

Is this the return to form fans have been waiting for? Or just more chaos in the Jurassic franchise?

Ep 40 - 28 Years Later (2025)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The rage virus returns… decades later. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into 28 Years Later, the long-awaited continuation of the groundbreaking infection saga that began with 28 Days Later. With the world changed forever, what does survival even look like nearly three decades after the outbreak?

In this video, we break down everything we know so far—from early details and expectations to how this film could evolve the franchise. Will it return to the raw, grounded horror of the original, or lean into the large-scale chaos introduced in 28 Weeks Later?

With the creative team returning and the story moving forward in a massive way, 28 Years Later has the potential to redefine the modern horror landscape all over again.

Ep 39 - Predator - Killer of Killers (2025)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The ultimate hunter faces the ultimate challenge. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into Predator: Killer of Killers, a brutal and action-packed entry in the Predator franchise that pushes the iconic alien hunter to new limits.

Known for taking on the deadliest warriors across galaxies, the Predator now faces opponents unlike ever before—killers who are just as ruthless, strategic, and dangerous. But when the hunter becomes the hunted, who truly sits at the top of the food chain?

In this review, we break down the action, story, lore, and how this film expands the Predator universe. Does it capture the intensity and suspense of the original, or does it rely too heavily on franchise nostalgia?

Ep 38 - 28 Weeks Later (2007)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The infection didn’t end… it evolved. In this episode of R Rating, we take a deep dive into 28 Weeks Later, the intense and brutal follow-up to 28 Days Later that raises the stakes and expands the scope of the outbreak.

Set months after the initial rage virus devastated the UK, 28 Weeks Later explores the attempted rebuilding of society under military control—until everything goes horribly wrong. What starts as hope quickly turns back into chaos, delivering one of the most shocking and relentless openings in horror movie history.

With bigger action, a wider scale, and a darker tone, this sequel shifts from intimate survival horror to full-blown apocalyptic disaster. But does it live up to the original, or does it lose what made 28 Days Later so special?

Ep 37 - 28 Day Later (2002)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

What if the end of the world didn’t come from the dead… but from the infected? In this episode of R Rating, we break down 28 Days Later, the groundbreaking horror film that redefined the zombie genre and introduced a faster, more terrifying kind of outbreak.

Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, 28 Days Later follows a man who wakes up from a coma to find London completely deserted—only to discover that a deadly virus has turned society into chaos. What unfolds is a tense, emotional, and brutally realistic survival story that changed horror movies forever.

With its gritty digital cinematography, haunting atmosphere, and relentless pacing, this film helped revive the zombie genre for a modern audience and paved the way for countless infection-based horror stories that followed.

Ep 36 - Home Alone 3-6

Dan Tyler — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 13:52:58 +0000

What happened to Home Alone after the iconic первых two movies? In this episode of R Rating, we dive into the forgotten (and controversial) sequels — Home Alone 3, Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House, Home Alone: The Holiday Heist, and Home Sweet Home Alone — to find out where things went wrong… or if there are any hidden gems worth watching.

From the absence of Kevin McCallister to made-for-TV chaos and modern Disney reboots, the Home Alone franchise took some wild turns over the years. We break down each sequel, compare them to the originals, and discuss whether any of these films capture the magic, humor, and heart that made the first two movies timeless Christmas classics.

Is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly really the greatest Western ever made? In this video, I take a deep dive into this legendary classic and break down what makes it one of the most iconic films of all time.

Directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood, this spaghetti western redefined the genre with its unforgettable characters, epic storytelling, and one of the most famous film scores ever created. But does it still hold up today for modern audiences?

Ep 34 - For Few Dollars More (1965)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The Man with No Name rides again! In this episode of R Rating, we dive into For a Few Dollars More, the explosive follow-up to A Fistful of Dollars that expands the world, raises the stakes, and delivers one of the greatest western showdowns of all time.

Directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood alongside Lee Van Cleef, this sequel follows two rival bounty hunters who reluctantly team up to track down a ruthless outlaw. What unfolds is a gripping story of revenge, greed, and justice set against Leone’s signature stylized direction and tension-filled pacing.

With unforgettable duels, a deeper emotional core, and an iconic musical score by Ennio Morricone, For a Few Dollars More is widely considered one of the greatest Spaghetti Westerns ever made—and a major step up from its predecessor.

Ep33 - A Fistful of Dollars (1964)

Dan Tyler — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Step into the dusty streets of the Wild West as we revisit A Fistful of Dollars, the film that helped redefine the western genre and launched the legendary “Man with No Name.” In this episode of R Rating, we break down what makes this classic so iconic, from its gritty tone and unforgettable characters to its influence on modern cinema.

Directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood, A Fistful of Dollars tells the story of a mysterious gunslinger who plays two rival families against each other in a small border town. With minimal dialogue, intense standoffs, and a focus on style and atmosphere, this film introduced audiences to the Spaghetti Western and changed the game forever.

Ep32 - Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Dinosaurs now live among us! In this episode of R Rating, we take a deep dive into Jurassic World Dominion, the epic conclusion to the Jurassic saga. In this review, we break down the story, action, returning legacy characters, and whether this massive blockbuster truly delivers the finale that fans of the franchise have been waiting for.

Jurassic World Dominion brings together the stars of the modern trilogy alongside the original heroes from the 1993 classic. With dinosaurs roaming the globe and humanity forced to coexist with prehistoric predators, the film raises the stakes for the entire franchise. But does it capture the magic, suspense, and wonder that made the original film legendary?

In this review we discuss the biggest moments, standout performances, the action sequences, the visual effects, and whether the film succeeds as the grand finale of the Jurassic era.

Ep31 - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom takes the franchise in a darker direction, turning the dinosaur spectacle into something closer to a gothic monster movie. With Isla Nublar collapsing and dinosaurs facing extinction once again, the film raises bigger questions about science, ethics, and the consequences of bringing prehistoric creatures back to life.

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom with an honest look at its tonal shift, action sequences, and controversial story decisions. We’ll talk about Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard returning as Owen and Claire, the volcanic destruction of Isla Nublar, the introduction of the Indoraptor, and how the film sets up a completely new direction for the franchise.

Is Fallen Kingdom an underrated experiment that tries something different—or the moment the Jurassic series goes completely off the rails?

If you’re a fan of Jurassic Park movies, dinosaur action films, or honest movie reviews that dig into blockbuster storytelling, this one’s for you.

Ep30 - Jurassic World (2015)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

More than 20 years after Jurassic Park, the franchise roared back to life with Jurassic World. A fully operational dinosaur theme park finally becomes reality—but as history has proven, playing with prehistoric predators never goes according to plan.

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Jurassic World with an honest look at its spectacle, nostalgia callbacks, new characters, and the introduction of the terrifying Indominus Rex. We’ll talk about Chris Pratt’s role as Owen Grady, the film’s commentary on modern blockbuster culture, the mix of practical effects and CGI, and whether Jurassic World successfully revived the franchise—or relied too heavily on nostalgia.

Does Jurassic World capture the magic and wonder of the original Jurassic Park, or is it simply a bigger, louder reboot for a new generation?

If you’re a fan of Jurassic Park movies, dinosaur action films, or honest movie reviews that dig into blockbuster filmmaking, this one’s for you.

Ep29 - Venom The Last Dance (2024)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Venom: The Last Dance brings Eddie Brock and his chaotic symbiote partner back for what promises to be the final chapter of Sony’s Venom trilogy. With bigger stakes, more symbiote madness, and the looming question of how this story ends, does the trilogy stick the landing?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Venom: The Last Dance with an honest look at Tom Hardy’s performance, the evolution of the Eddie Brock–Venom relationship, the action, the humor, and how this film attempts to wrap up the trilogy. We’ll talk about the film’s place in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, whether the story delivers a satisfying finale, and if the franchise ultimately fulfilled its potential.

Is Venom: The Last Dance the send-off fans wanted—or another messy entry in Sony’s expanding Marvel universe?

Ep28 - Venom Let there be Carnage (2021)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Venom: Let There Be Carnage doubles down on the chaos, leaning harder into the odd-couple comedy between Eddie Brock and his symbiote—while introducing one of Spider-Man’s most violent villains. But does Carnage live up to the hype?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Venom: Let There Be Carnage with an honest look at Tom Hardy’s unhinged performance, Woody Harrelson’s take on Cletus Kasady, the film’s shorter runtime, action sequences, and the ongoing debate about the PG-13 rating. We’ll talk about whether the sequel improves on the original, wastes its villain, or simply embraces its own ridiculous energy.

Is Let There Be Carnage a fun comic book sequel—or another missed opportunity for something darker and more intense?

If you’re a fan of Marvel movies, Spider-Man villains, or brutally honest comic book movie reviews, this one’s for you.

Ep27 - Venom (2018)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Sony’s Venom brought one of Marvel’s most popular anti-heroes to the big screen—without Spider-Man. Dark, chaotic, and surprisingly comedic, the film leans heavily on Tom Hardy’s wild performance. But does Venom work as a standalone comic book movie?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Venom (2018) with an honest look at its tone, action, CGI, and the strange buddy-comedy dynamic between Eddie Brock and the symbiote. We’ll talk about the PG-13 rating debate, how the film compares to comic book lore, the villain problem, and whether Venom is dumb fun or just plain messy.

Is Venom an underrated comic book movie… or a missed opportunity for something darker and more brutal?

If you’re a fan of Marvel movies, Spider-Man villains, or comic book film breakdowns that don’t pull punches, this one’s for you.

Ep26 - Anchorman 2 The Legend Continues (2013)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Nearly a decade after the original, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues brought Ron Burgundy and the Channel 4 News Team back for an even bigger, louder, and more chaotic sequel. But does more absurdity equal more laughs?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Anchorman 2 with an honest look at Will Ferrell’s return as Ron Burgundy, the escalation of the news satire, the over-the-top cameos, and whether the sequel understands what made the first film work. We’ll talk about Adam McKay’s direction, the commentary on 24-hour news culture, the expanded fight scene insanity, and whether this follow-up builds on the original—or stretches the joke too thin.

Is Anchorman 2 an underrated comedy sequel… or proof that lightning doesn’t strike twice?

If you’re a fan of Will Ferrell comedies, 2000s and 2010s humor, or movie reviews that revisit sequels with fresh eyes, this one’s for you.

Ep25 - Anchorman (2004)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is one of the most quotable comedies of the 2000s, launching endless memes, iconic one-liners, and the legend of Ron Burgundy himself. But beyond the absurdity and improv chaos… does it still hold up?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Anchorman with an honest look at Will Ferrell’s performance, Adam McKay’s loose, improvisational style, the stacked supporting cast, and how the film balances ridiculous humor with sharp satire about media and masculinity. We’ll talk about the news team dynamic, the absurd fight scene, Christina Applegate’s role, and whether the comedy lands as hard today as it did in 2004.

Is Anchorman a modern comedy classic—or a product of its time?

Ep24 - Jurassic Park 3 (2001)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 12:59:00 +0000

Jurassic Park III ditches the epic scope and philosophical weight of the first two films for a lean, fast-paced survival thriller. No theme park. No corporate conspiracy. Just humans stuck on an island with dinosaurs again. But does stripping it down make it better—or expose how thin the formula really is?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Jurassic Park III with an honest look at its shorter runtime, relentless pacing, the introduction of the Spinosaurus, and Sam Neill’s return as Dr. Alan Grant. We’ll talk about the tonal shift, practical effects vs CGI, the infamous “talking raptor” moment, and whether this sequel deserves its mixed reputation.

Ep23 - Jurassic Park - The Lost World (1997)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Steven Spielberg returned to Isla Sorna with The Lost World: Jurassic Park, a darker, meaner sequel that trades wonder for chaos. Bigger dinosaurs, bigger set pieces, and a much grimmer tone—but does it capture the magic of the original Jurassic Park?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down The Lost World with an honest look at its story, characters, pacing, and unforgettable action sequences. We’ll talk about Jeff Goldblum stepping into the lead role, Spielberg’s shift toward survival horror, the controversial third act in San Diego, and whether this sequel expands the franchise—or exposes its limits.

Is The Lost World an underrated follow-up with bold ideas… or the moment the Jurassic series lost its balance?

If you’re a fan of Jurassic Park movies, 90s blockbusters, or in-depth movie reviews that separate nostalgia from execution, this one’s for you.

Ep22 - Jurassic Park (1993)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park remains one of the most influential blockbusters ever made, blending groundbreaking visual effects with suspense, wonder, and unforgettable moments. Decades later, the question isn’t just how it looks—but why it still works.

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Jurassic Park (1993) with an honest look at its storytelling, pacing, practical effects, and use of CGI that still puts modern films to shame. We’ll talk about Spielberg’s direction, John Williams’ iconic score, the film’s themes of control versus chaos, and how Jurassic Park balances awe and terror better than almost any blockbuster.

Is Jurassic Park the perfect summer movie? And why has no sequel ever truly matched its magic?

If you’re a fan of classic movies, sci-fi adventure, or thoughtful movie reviews that go deeper than nostalgia, this one’s for you.

Ep21 - Mad Max Furiosa (2024)

Dan Tyler — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0000

George Miller returns to the wasteland with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a brutal, kinetic prequel that tells the origin of one of modern cinema’s most iconic characters. Trading Max for Furiosa, this film dives deep into survival, power, and vengeance—but does it live up to the insanity of Mad Max: Fury Road?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Furiosa with an honest look at its storytelling, action design, world-building, and performances. We’ll talk about Anya Taylor-Joy stepping into the role of Furiosa, Chris Hemsworth’s villainous turn, George Miller’s visual language, and how this film expands the Mad Max universe while standing on its own.

Is Furiosa a worthy companion piece to Fury Road—or an unnecessary deep dive into backstory? Let’s talk about it.

If you’re a fan of Mad Max movies, post-apocalyptic action, or director-driven blockbuster filmmaking, this one’s for you.

Ep20 - Gremlins 1 & 2

Dan Tyler — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch are two wildly different takes on the same idea—one a dark Christmas horror-comedy, the other a full-blown cartoon satire. Together, they form one of the strangest and most fascinating duologies in movie history.

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Gremlins (1984) and Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990), comparing tone, humor, chaos, and intent. We’ll talk about Joe Dante’s direction, the blend of horror and comedy, practical creature effects, studio satire, and how Gremlins 2 deliberately dismantles everything the first film built.

Is Gremlins still a perfect subversive Christmas classic? And is Gremlins 2 a misunderstood masterpiece—or complete insanity?

If you’re a fan of 80s movies, horror comedies, or movie reviews that celebrate weird, ambitious filmmaking, this one’s for you.

Ep19 - Home Alone 1 & 2

Dan Tyler — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York are Christmas classics that defined a generation. From Kevin McCallister’s legendary traps to the Wet Bandits’ cartoon-level pain, these films became holiday staples—but do they still hold up as movies, not just nostalgia?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down both Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2 (1992), comparing their stories, comedy, emotional beats, and escalating chaos. We’ll talk about Macaulay Culkin’s iconic performance, John Hughes’ heartfelt storytelling, the evolution of the traps, and whether the sequel improves on the original or simply repeats it on a bigger scale.

Is Home Alone still the ultimate Christmas movie? And does Home Alone 2 justify its existence—or is it just a remix with a bigger budget?

If you love Christmas movies, 90s films, or honest movie reviews that separate nostalgia from quality, this one’s for you.

We discuss whether the film successfully balances horror and action, how it compares to previous entries in the franchise, and what it means for the future of Alien.

From practical effects and creature design to thematic callbacks and fresh ideas, this episode explores everything that makes Alien: Romulus one of the most talked-about sci-fi horror films in recent years.

Ep17 - Alien Covenant (2017)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we descend into the nightmare of Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant (2017) — a brutal, unsettling sequel that bridges Prometheus and the original Alien, while pushing the franchise into darker philosophical territory.

We break down the film’s savage return to horror, the evolution of David as one of the most disturbing androids in sci-fi history, and how Covenant doubles down on themes of creation, control, and extinction. Is this the missing link the Alien saga needed, or a step too far away from what made the franchise iconic?

From the terrifying Neomorphs to the controversial lore decisions, we unpack what Alien: Covenant gets right, what divided fans, and how it reframes the entire Alien timeline.

Ep16 - Alien Prometheus (2012)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we dive headfirst into Ridley Scott’s Prometheus (2012) — the bold, divisive prequel to the Alien franchise that asks some massive questions about creation, humanity, and our place in the universe.

We break down the film’s themes, the mysterious Engineers, Michael Fassbender’s unforgettable performance as David, and why Prometheus continues to spark heated debates among sci-fi and horror fans years later. Is it an underrated sci-fi masterpiece, or a frustrating misfire that asks better questions than it answers?

From jaw-dropping visuals to baffling character decisions, we explore what Prometheus gets right, where it stumbles, and how it reshaped the future of the Alien universe.

Ep15 - Alien Resurrection (1997)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 13:00:00 +0000

In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into Alien Resurrection — the fourth film in the legendary Alien franchise, and easily the weirdest, wildest, and most divisive entry of them all.

We break down everything from Ripley’s controversial clone storyline, to the bio-engineered Xenomorphs, to the film’s tonal shift under director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Whether you love this movie, hate it, or just enjoy watching the franchise get progressively weirder, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes details, story analysis, and all the chaotic sci-fi energy Alien Resurrection is known for.

Ep14 - Alien 3 (1992)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 13:04:00 +0000

In this episode of R Rating, we’re descending into the dark, grim world of Alien³ (1992), the most divisive and misunderstood entry in the Alien franchise. Directed by a young David Fincher in his feature debut, Alien 3 took bold risks that split fans and critics alike — and we’re here to unpack every one of them.

We’ll explore how Alien³ followed up the action-packed Aliens with a return to bleak horror and isolation, what went wrong behind the scenes, and how Fincher’s vision was reshaped by studio interference. From Sigourney Weaver’s raw performance as Ripley to the haunting prison planet setting and nihilistic tone, we dig deep into why this film deserves a second look.

Is Alien³ an underrated masterpiece, or a frustrating misfire? Let’s find out.

Join R Rating for a deep dive into one of the most fascinatingly flawed films in sci-fi horror history — and why it’s more important to the franchise than most fans realize.

Ep11 - Evil Dead Rise (2023)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000

In this episode of R Rating, we dive into the blood-soaked madness of Evil Dead Rise (2023) — the latest entry in Sam Raimi’s iconic horror franchise. Directed by Lee Cronin, this brutal, claustrophobic take on the Evil Dead mythos trades the cabin for a Los Angeles high-rise but keeps all the gore, chaos, and demonic terror fans expect.

We talk about Alyssa Sutherland’s terrifying performance as a possessed mother, the film’s shocking practical effects, and how it stacks up against the classics — Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, and the 2013 remake. Expect plenty of laughs, deep horror analysis, and unfiltered opinions as we discuss one of the most talked-about horror films of the year.

Whether you’re a lifelong horror fan or just love a good scare, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
