Pennsylvania at the Movie Part 2 - Groundhog Day, Jack Reacher, Prisoners & More!
We wrap up our discussions on films of the Keystone state and we hit up plenty of Yinzer Country. So have a seat. Make a sandwich. Put French fries on it. Don’t cook any cheese.

Four by Charles Burnett - Body & Soul 2
This week we hit up four films from the pride of the Watts neighborhood in Los Angeles, Charles Burnett. Our “Body & Soul” theme means “black directors and black leads” and Charles Burnett is gonna scratch that auteur itch we’ve been craving. We’re discussing all of his feature films except for 2. “To Sleep With Anger” we’re saving for when we get to California in our states series and we could not find “Namibia: the Struggle for Liberation” be it in valid or underhanded ways. We just kept hitting a French dubbed copy and it’s a pretty damn pricey DVD on Ebay...

Richard Linklater's Before Trilogy
For our second edition of TRILOGISTS we figure we might want to discuss an ACTUAL trilogy and we might already have a contender for “Best Trilogy” that we’ve reviewed so far. It’s Valentines time so we’re already in the feeling but this romantic tale has no holiday obligation. The dude doesn’t even have money in the first movie. HE’S A BUM AND SHE’S MADE OF FRENCH PORCELAIN. Richard Linklater’s 1995 romance “Before Sunrise” might be one of the most convincing love stories captured on film and the follow ups of “Sunset” and “Midnight” over the course of 18 years ha...

Delaware at the Movies part 2 - Steven Universe, Goosebumps & More!
We didn’t want to go quite as long as our opening episode of “Ain’t That America” but we just can’t get enough of Delaware! We gotta get our mouths on some of that SCRAPPLE! For part 2 of our film study of Delaware, we go to the more inland parts of the state, tackle some very low budget fare, encounter an all powerful writer/god and get a proper introduction to a cartoon cult phenomenon. No state was harder to mine than Delaware and it shows but we also found some surprising quality that we wouldn’t have watched...

2025’s overall theme was “Getting it Twisted with M. Night Shyamalan”, in which we discussed every film from the twist master general himself. In the last stretch of the year we hit up his last three…er…four (we forgot one) and lay down a final Director Score for our favorite Indian-American Thrilladelphian. Will he score better than last year’s director, Lars Von Trier? At the end of the episode we reveal who next year’s director will be as well as more of what’s in store for The Projectors in 2026.
