From director Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Drive My Car is an intimate yet sprawling three-hour-long portrait of theatre in Japan.

On today's classic episode of Classic Movies Live!, Pierre and Jeff talk about a true classic of modern cinema: the 2017 low-budget horror classic The Velocipastor. You may have heard us mention it in past (future?) episodes: this is quite frankly, one of the best movies we've ever reviewed on the show. From first-time director Brendan Steere, Velocipastor is a movie tackling themes of religion, drug abuse, prostitution, and also the Vietnam War. Is it even possible for a modern movie to take on so many issues successfully, and still be excellent? Find out today, when Pierre and Jeff review possibly their favourite movie they've ever seen for the show!

So should the Aaron Paul-led blockbuster be considered a classic in that regard? Find out today, as our hosts break down this endlessly hyped, rarely remembered racing hit from 2014!

Some would say that Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates contains the quintessential performances from Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick, but everyone would say that Kickin' It With Kendrick is the quintessential podcast for discussions of Anna Kendrick's career! This week, Pierre and Jeff are joined by friend of the show Dario Sokic to talk about that time in 2016 when a studio made a movie based on a Craigslist post and cast Zac Efron and Aubrey Plaza -- and of course Anna Kendrick!

Shockingly, it would take almost 30 episodes and one global pandemic before Pierre and Jeff finally discussed a Pixar film, but when Tom Holland and Chris Pratt star in the last movie to release in theatres before the world shuts down, well, what better time could there be? Directed by the same guy who did Monsters University, is Onward the next Toy Story, or yet another forgettable entry in the famed studio's catalogue?

You may know of a podcast or a YouTube channel devoted to the work of John Krasinski, but here on Kickin' It With Kendrick, we're the only show on Spotify devoted to discussing the filmography of Anna Kendrick!

This is a special Valentine's Day episode of the only show on Spotify devoted to the always-charming, regular heartthrob Anna Kendrick! In today's episode, Pierre and Jeff talk about a double bill of movies dealing with the oh-so-romantic topics of motherhood and cancer!

What could be so bad that it was released to theatres only to be pulled before its time? Well, remember, dear listener, that we lived for a time in a world that pulled every movie from theatres, including The Invisible Man! Rising from the ashes of Universal's Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell's latest movie The Invisible Man was one of the first horror movies of 2020! Is it also one of the best?
