Film School Janitors Review Films

Will Jay take Rodney up on his friendly bet? The Film School Janitors aren't made of money so you never know!

What's worse than facing a vampire at night? Facing them during the day...? (The pay isn't as good in the daytime, you see.) And that's the premise of Netflix's latest offering, DAY SHIFT. Jamie Foxx needs to save his house, his family, and his daughter's teeth (she's not a vampire - she just needs braces), and to do so, he rejoins a vampire hunting union to make some money. The Film School Janitors get it. These film school students are blood suckers as well.

After a couple bouts with COVID, the Film School Janitors are back, but are they excited about it? First up is the (already forgotten/soon-to-be) Netflix classic: THE GRAY MAN. Ryan Gosling plays a guy that runs around and fights a lot of people and protects a kid and tries not to get killed. If you're familiar with Netflix's programming, you get the gist!

The Film School Janitors are back in school, and they're going to Nic Cage University! Their goal is to watch and review every film Nicolas Cage has ever made... and will ever make! This week's assignment: DEADFALL In an epic gesture of grand nepotism, Nic Cage takes a scene-chewing role in his brother's crack at a Tarantino-esque film (think more RESERVOIR DOGS than PULP FICTION, which wasn't out yet). Don't know if there was something in the air for all these neo-noir films of the 90's, or not, but this one is watchable mostly because of Nic's "choices" and that's what the Janitors are back in school for.

The Film School Janitors go international again! (It should probably happen more often...) RRR is a Pan-Indian film about two of its early revolutionaries that fought for freedom from Britain. There's action, there's adventure, there's romance, there's intrigue, there's dancing. Oh, there's one more thing: fighting. Lots of superhuman level, superhero style, inventive fighting. What did the Janitors think? listen and find out!

After watching the remake for class at NCU, the Film School Janitors decided to check out the original GONE IN 60 SECONDS from 1974. How similar were they? How different? Does Eleanor get top billing? Listen to find out!

Even though some reveals creeped into their other reviews, here's the Film School Janitors discussing all the ones that matter to them!

FULL LENGTH VERSION! The Film School Janitors are back in school, and they're going to Nic Cage University! Their goal is to watch and review every film Nicolas Cage has ever made... and will ever make! This week's assignment: GONE IN 60 SECONDS The Janitors wrestle with trying to review this film in full-length form versus their sixty second review. Can they do it? Listen and find out! (Or just look at the length of this podcast, I guess...)

REVIEW IN 60 SECONDS! The Film School Janitors are back in school, and they're going to Nic Cage University! Their goal is to watch and review every film Nicolas Cage has ever made... and will ever make!

(We regret to inform you that our host that types these up has passed out after watching the season one finale of MS. MARVEL. You may have read elsewhere what happened in the episode, or you might glance at this podcast's tags, but as the replacement typist, I will not. Oh, I almost forgot. This is the Film School Janitors' review of the finale for MS. MARVEL.)

How many things can (kinda) rhyme in this movie? Thor... Gorr... Korg... Necrosword... ...4 (as in official film number in Thor series - oh!)... ...Thor... The Film School Janitors watched THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER, and they may not have loved everything about it, they definitely didn't thunder anything. Check it out!

The Film School Janitors are back in school, and they're going to Nic Cage University! Their goal is to watch and review every film Nicolas Cage has ever made... and will ever make! This week's assignment: FIRE BIRDS What do you have a need for? A need for... speedy helicopters? In this late game TOP GUN ripoff, Nic Cage plays the Maverick character who is even more batshit crazy than Tom Cruise is in real-life. Remember when Cruise did that couch-jumping thing on Oprah? That's Cage in this film. Listen to find out what else the Film School Janitors thought about this early NCU film!

Well there goes another season of the flash-in-a-pan, pop culture absent, streaming service show called... what was it again? Oh yeah - STRANGER THINGS! The Film School Janitors get into the weeds (not living hive-mind vines) and discuss the back half of season four, and what might happen in season five. Take a listen! Leave a listen! (Wait, that's what you do with pennies...)

These are the last two episodes of MS. MARVEL before the season (series?) finale! The show has moved at a very brisk pace, and does it help or hurt the world-building and character introducing so far? The Film School Janitors discuss it all, so listen to find out more!

The last two episodes of season three have aired, and did THE BOYS stick its landing? Or did it shove a fist through somebody's chest (that happens a lot on this show)? The Film School Janitors break down the penultimate (love that word) episode and the finale, and they also simply break down. Listen and enjoy!

Well that was quick! Our lovely MS. MARVEL went from possibly having answers about her powers, including some mentors, to having some enemies, and it all happens at her brother's wedding! What do the Film School Janitors think about the new MCU hero so far? Listen to find out!

This is it! The series (season?) finale of OBI-WAN KENOBI! Did it justify its own existence (which is what every piece of art must do, of course)? Listen to hear what the Film School Janitors think about the (not) final battle between Obi-Wan and "Darth"! Plus, what do you think about the (over) use of parentheses in these write-ups? BONUS: Did Yoda move to Dagobah to avoid paying Yaddle child support for Grogu? The Janitors discuss what might have happened.

This is the episode everyone was waiting for! (Of THE BOYS, but maybe also of the Film School Janitors...) The Janitors discuss the events of "Herogasm" and whether it lived up to the infamous hype. Enjoy!

The Film School Janitors are back in school, and they're going to Nic Cage University! Their goal is to watch and review every film Nicolas Cage has ever made... and will ever make! This week's assignment: ADAPTATION What's better than one Nic Cage in a movie? Two Nic Cages in a movie! This film follows the struggle of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman trying to adapt an unadaptable book into in a film script. Meanwhile, his ne'er-do-well brother, Donald, takes an idea with an insane premise and sees the script through to completion. Is the movie more fun than it may sound here? Listen to find out what the Film School Janitors think!

There was some internal debate about whether the Film School Janitors should review MS. MARVEL or not, but ultimately, it's still a Marvel show! Do they go off the rails discussing a superhero show primarily aimed at the younger generation of fans? Of course!

It's the penultimate episode of the only (first?) season of OBI-WAN KENOBI and what do the Film School Janitors think about it, the season altogether, and what will happen in the last episode? (SPOILER: They think Luke will grow up thinking Old Ben Kenobi is some desert hermit!)

The Film School Janitors watched the fifth episode of THE BOYS, in which a real-life celebrity makes a fool of himself on a webcam and a musical dance number takes place in a hospital. Is it the craziest episode? Not by a long shot. But it's still THE BOYS.

The Film School Janitors are back in school, and they're going to Nic Cage University! Their goal is to watch and review every film Nicolas Cage has ever made... and will ever make! This week's assignment: THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE Based upon the classic Mickey Mouse short where he floods a room and dances with brooms, this has nothing to do with that! Well, other than the name of the film, the fact that it's a Disney project, and a couple homages to the cartoon. But the true question isn't - is this any good? The question is - is this a good Nicolas Cage movie? The Film School Janitors have your answer - take a listen!

They name two: PADDINGTON 2 and THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI. This is the Janitors review of the 100 year old, black & white, silent film classic.

Well, Amazon went on right ahead and delivered the first three episodes in one dump, and the Film School Janitors didn't have the time to get to those before the fourth episode arrived, but here's the first half of the season 3 review for THE BOYS, and also one of the longest run-on sentences ever!

Listen to find out what the Film School Janitors thought!

Should Netflix have released their flagship show STRANGER THINGS on a weekly basis to keep the conversation about the going longer?

What should have been a very light and breezy review of CHIP 'N' DALE: RESCUE RANGERS, gets a little dark due to real-life stories. Thanks for nothing, Film School Janitors! (Also, it should be noted that I have to put both apostrophes around the letter N. Otherwise, I'd face legal repercussions from Disney's legal team...)

Netflix is back with another round of LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS, and so are the Film School Janitors! Well, the Janitors may not have any love or robots (*sad trombone noise*), but at least they're "dying" for you to listen to this review for the third volume!

The Film School Janitors are back in school, and they're going to Nic Cage University! Their goal is to watch and review every film Nicolas Cage has ever made... and will ever make!

What did the Janitors think about this self-referential film? Listen to find out!

The Film School Janitors attempt Mach 10 into the nostalgia zone, as they revisit and visit TOP GUN and TOP GUN: MAVERICK. The sequel waited a long time to finally be released into theaters, and was it (all) the right move(s)? Or was it risky business? And did the original hold up? Or did it fall into oblivion?

The Film School Janitors are pulling another double with the release of the remake of FIRESTARTER! They watched the classic(?) Stephen King adaptation from 1984 and the recent Blumhouse version, and they compare notes! BONUS! IQ tests are taken by the Janitors, so expect to hear three specific numbers always referenced until the end of time!

The last episode of HALO happened (for the season at least), and the Film School Janitors took a day off of work to watch it multiple times (well, twice for some of them). Why isn't everybody else talking about this show? Is this description maybe a little bit sarcastic? Listen to find out what the Janitors really thought...

We're almost to the end of the great experiment that is HALO! As this long-anticipated adaption winds down, has it made its fans happy?

Or is it Sam Raimi's return to form? Listen and find out!

The Film School Janitors chit-chat about the trailers for ELVIS, LIGHTYEAR, and the AVATAR sequel, whose full name I refuse to look up right now as I write this.

And how does it rank compared to the other Disney+ shows? Most of those questions will be answered if you take a listen!

Well, the Film School Janitors missed a week, but they're back with a two episode review of HALO! One episode is a big info dump, and one might just be a dump! Listen to find out which is which!

Or was it the beginning of something even more interesting? Listen and find out!

The Elementary Film School Janitors break down all five SPIDER-MAN films that previously had nothing to do with the MCU (spoilers!), and it takes awhile... there are three Tobey Maguire films and two Andrew Garfield ones. That's a lot!

Layla! You got Steven Grant on his knees! The fourth episode of MOON KNIGHT picks up where episode three left off (that's how TV shows work right?), and we get a nice showcase of Layla's skillset for most of the episode - but then!!! I won't put anything too much down here. You'll just have to hear what the Film School Janitors say about it!

The action heats up in episode 5 of HALO, and the Film School Janitors still aren't warming to that subplot on Madrigal. What are their other thought? Listen and find out!
