You Had Me At Skip It

Taylor and Mike summon their thoughts on The Conjuring: Last Rites, the final chapter of the long-running horror franchise. Was this a fitting farewell for Ed and Lorraine Warren, or did the series finally lose its spirit? We also take time to discuss some of our favourite films from the Conjuring universe. 

Halloween season rolls on with more chilling picks! We begin the episode with talking about Stranger Things Season 5, the release date, schedule and our thoughts on the upcoming season. Taylor reviews Clown in the Cornfield, a slasher with sharp edges and social commentary lurking beneath the blood. Mike dives into the opening episodes of Alien: Earth, a fresh sci-fi horror series that blends cosmic dread with grounded human drama, surprisingly! 

This week, Taylor reviews The Wrong Paris, a charming new rom-com that proves love can bloom in all the wrong places. Mike reviews The Woman in the Yard, a tense horror film filled with creeping dread and shocking reveals. Together, they break down the laughs, the scares, and whether these movies are worth watching or worth a skip.

Father Quirk is back for a dive into the shadows of classic Film Noir. This week, we explore Chinatown (1974) and Key Largo (1948), breaking down their masterful writing, striking cinematography, and lasting impact on the genre. Plus, hear our non-spoiler takes on what makes these films essential viewing.

After a short break, we’re back and ready to close out the summer movie season in style! In this episode of You Had Me at Skip It, we revisit the biggest hits (and surprises) of the summer from the Fantastic Four, to the prehistoric spectacle of Jurassic World: Rebirth, the explosive buzz around Weapons, and the heartfelt charm of Friendship.

We'll be back as of September 18 with all new episodes of You Had Me At Skip It! Mike gives a brief update and introduces you to his Star Trek podcast with Tyler Vance! Enjoy an episode of Yesterday's Star Trek and we'll see you next week. 

Mike hits the ground running ranting about the trailer for Project Hail Mary, which will probably be a future movie/book club! We also discuss for some reason all the Skarsgårds. This week Mike reviews Superman (2025) and Taylor reviews Deep Cover. 

This week we dive into live action remakes and discuss why you can't use real Lions in The Lion King. Mike reviews How To Train Your Dragon, the 2025 live action remake. Taylor reviews a documentary series on Netflix, Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel.

Our old game from Screening in Kingston, "Movies From A Hat,  makes its Skip It debut! This week we review Wildlife (2018) and Wish I Was Here (2014) and try to find some common threads between the films. 

This week Mike reviews The Accountant 2, Taylor reviews The Phoenician Scheme and The Luckiest Man in American. We discuss a new movie trailer and we go back to "The Hat" for movies from a hat! We do our live draw and select the two movies we'll watch and review for next week, trying to find the connections...
