AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: Disney+'s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Episode 7) Review
EIn the seventh episode of SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW, our cinematic universe expands to include some lesser-known characters, but more new characters are welcome nonetheless. It helps the MCU feel a little bit bigger, and the Film School Janitors a little bit smaller (because Shulkie is so big, you see).

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: HBO Max's House of the Dragon (Episode 7) Review
ENothing brings a family together like weddings and funerals, and it the world of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, those two are fairly interchangeable! The seventh episode begins with one and ends with another, and the Film School Janitors have a lot to say about it (and it's not just about how dark it was... like actually dark, not dark-dark), so take a listen!

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: HBO Max's House of the Dragon (Episode 6) Review
EThe biggest time jump yet happens on episode six of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, and the show replaces some actors. (No Film School Janitors were replaced in our time jump of one week.) Does the show make it work, or is it jarring? Listen and find out!

NCU 38: Arsenal (2017) Review
EThe 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: ARSENAL Nicolas Cage hasn't done many sequels, but this just happens to be one... kind of? He's playing the same character from DEADFALL(NCU 32), but that character died? It's weird. He can be weird. DEADFALL is fun and weird, but is ARSENAL worth the watch? Listen and find out!

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: Disney+'s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Episode 6) Review
EThe Film School Janitors review episode six of SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW - the dreaded stand-alone(-ish) wedding episode NOT featuring Daredevil because they showed his helmet in the end of episode five and I want it waaah!

Jay in 60 Seconds #4
EWhat else did Jay watch this week?

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: HBO Max's House of the Dragon (Episode 5) Review
EThe Film School Janitors are halfway through the first season of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, and is it a lovely house full of dragons? There are some dragons, but it's not yet as crazy as it could be! This episode features a wedding - what could possibly go wrong?

NCU 37: Windtalkers (2002) Review
EThe 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: WINDTALKERS Based on real-life incidents, this World War II film focuses on Nicolas Cage's character PTSD instead of the actual Navajo code talkers themselves. And it's also an action film. An at times gruesome one, but also at times unbelievable. Take a listen to see what else the Film School Janitors thought about the film.

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: Disney+'s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Episode 5) Review
EIt's finally here! The rematch between Titania and SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW! Watch in wonder as they brawl... verbally... in the courtroom. Remember, the Film School Janitors are here to remind you that this is a comedy lawyer show that happens to feature a superhero after all!

Barbarian (2022) Review
EEvery once in a while, a film comes out that that almost requires you to know very little about it to enjoy it. BARBARIAN is one of those such films. Just know this: the Film School Janitors spoil the heck out of it, so if you're going to see it, wait to listen. Also, there are no actual Arnie-style, sword-and-sandal barbarians in this film.

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: HBO Max's House of the Dragon (Episode 4) Review
EFor a show about dragons, the fourth episode of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON really brings the heat! The Film School Janitors discuss the latest episode, and hint at what's to come! Wait, that's not meant to be a pun!

Rodney in (Less Than) 60 Seconds #1

EAnother minute of Jay talking about something else he watched!

NCU 36: Bringing Out the Dead (1999) Review
EThe 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: BRINGING OUT THE DEAD The Film School Janitors get to review a Martin Scorsese film that happens to be a Nicolas Cage film that happens to be an examination of the life of an ambulance medic that happens to take place mostly at night that happens to feel like a FIGHT CLUB wannabe that doesn't quite act like a FIGHT CLUB wannabe. Listen to make this rambling sentence make sense!

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: Disney+'s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Episode 4) Review
EIs SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW having a moment? With episode four under its belt, the show seems to attained something many of the other MCU shows have not - meme worthiness. The Film School Janitors discuss what's working and what's not so check it out!

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: HBO Max's House of the Dragon (Episode 3) Review
EEpisode three of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON picks up three years after the previous episode, and is it picking up greater favor from the Film School Janitors? Listen to find out!

Jay in 60 Seconds #2

NCU 35: National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) Review
EThe 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: NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS! Imagine the filmmakers when they were told to devise a sequel: well, the first time, Nicolas Cage had to steal the Declaration of Independence. What can he steal this time? Umm, how about the President?

NCU 34: National Treasure (2004) Review
EThe 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: NATIONAL TREASURE! Benjamin Gates has to steal the United States Declaration of Independence before his rival does so they can find the world's largest national treasure: friendship. Nah, it's an actual treasure. This is one of those Nic Cage films everybody should know. Either way, take a listen!

NCU 33: Vengeance: A Love Story (2017) Review
EThe 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: VENGEANCE: A LOVE STORY! Based on a story by author Joyce Carol Oates, the film follows the trauma suffered by a family after a brutal attack and the cop who is sick of justice not being served. Could this one have been better? Could this one have turned out worse? The Film School Janitors answer all in this assignment!

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: HBO Max's House of the Dragon (Episode 2) Review
EDid episode two of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON change any of the Film School Janitors' minds about the show? Well, as in the immortal words of the cast of Letterkenny, "to be fair" only Sean had negative things to say about the first episode, so did he change his mind? But it could be possible that Rodney and Jay changed their minds, as well. Listen, just put this review in your podcast player and smoke it to find out!

LITTER BITS: BTS (Behind the Scenes - not actual BTS)
ERodney, Jason and Sean (a.k.a. the Film School Janitors) talk about what it takes to put a podcast together... and then to listen to it back!

Amazon Prime's Samaritan Review
ESometimes it's really nice to visit with an old friend. In this case, that old friend is Sylvester Stallone, and the, um, house that we're visiting him in is his latest film, SAMARITAN. The Film School Janitors watched the original superhero story not based on a comic-- wait, it was based on a comic? Well, at the very least it wasn't one by Marvel or DC. Is it worth checking out? If you trust the Janitors, then they'll let you know!

Jay in 60 Seconds #1
EWhat did Jay watch this week instead of what he was supposed to watch?

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: Disney+'s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Episode 2) Review
EEpisode two of SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW picks up with the eponymous hero adding the second part of her show title to her character. Does any of that make sense? Listen to the Film School Janitors review to find out!

Amazon Prime's Paper Girls Review
EGrowing up is tough, but getting lost in time is tougher! The Film School Janitors watched PAPER GIRLS entire first season, and this is what they thought about the adventures of four young ladies from the 80's that visit their future selves as they try to get home... and ride in a robot and see dinosaurs and floating cities!

Netflix's The Umbrella Academy (Season 3) Review
ELook up in the sky! Is it a floating glowing cube? Is it a man with the body of an ape on the moon? Is it a portal to a parallel dimension? This doesn't even begin to express how truly weird THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY can get. With a fourth (and final?) season announced, the Film School Janitors are finally here with their season three review. Enjoy!

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: HBO Max's House of the Dragon (Episode 1) Review
EThe first big debate was whether the Film School Janitors cared enough about this prequel show to watch it or not. So now that they actually watched the first episode of the GAME OF THRONES prequel, HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, what did they think? Don't debate about it! Listen and find out!

YANKED FROM THE TRASH BIN: DOA: Dead or Alive (2006) Review
EIs this a salvageable film or not? Not to be confused with the Dennis Quaid/Meg Ryan thriller called D.O.A. or the classic film that was based on, this one is based on the video game series DOA: DEAD OR ALIVE. Based solely on the title, it sounds like it could be at least interesting, right? I mean, there are some good video game movies. The Film School Janitors have played the original video game and some of its spinoffs. How did the movie fare against the games? Listen and find out!

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: Disney+'s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Episode 1) Review
EIf you've been holding out watching the premiere episode of SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW until you heard what the Film School Janitors thought about it, well here's (hear's?)your chance to find out!

Nope Review
EThere are few directors working today that can get people to see their movies just by adding their name, and Jordan Peele currently is one of them. Will he keep it up, and be like Spielberg? Or will he wander the way of Shyamalan? The Film School Janitors watched NOPE, and did they say "yup!" to it? Listen to find out!

Hulu's Prey Review
ESometimes movies are like predators... you don't see them until they want you to! The Film School Janitors stumbled upon a little sequel called PREY - which is more of a prequel to 1986's PREDATOR, but also just a good, standalone sequel? I can't keep track of this stuff anymore. Listen to find out what they think!

LITTER BITS: The LEGO Bet
EWill Jay take Rodney up on his friendly bet? The Film School Janitors aren't made of money so you never know!

Netflix's Day Shift Review
EWhat'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.

Netflix's The Gray Man Review
EAfter 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!

NCU 32: Deadfall (1993) Review
EThe 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.

RRR (2022) Review
EThe 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!

FOUND BEHIND THE VENDING MACHINE: Gone in 60 Seconds (1974) Review
EAfter 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!

LITTER BITS: San Diego Comic Con 2022 Reveals
EEven though some reveals creeped into their other reviews, here's the Film School Janitors discussing all the ones that matter to them!

NCU 31: Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) Review
EFULL 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...)

NCU 31 in 60 Seconds: Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) Review
EREVIEW 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! This week's assignment: GONE IN 60 SECONDS The Janitors decided to see how fast they could review a film, and this is it!

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: Disney+'s Ms. Marvel (Episode 6) Review
E(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.)

Thor: Love and Thunder Review
EHow 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!

NCU #30: Fire Birds (1990) Review
EThe 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!

Netflix's Stranger Things (Season 4, Part II) Review
EWell 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...)

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: Disney+'s Ms. Marvel (Episodes 4 and 5) Review
EThese 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!

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: Amazon Prime's The Boys (Season 3, Episodes 7 and 8) Review
EThe 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!

AN EPISODE IN THE BOWL: Disney+'s Ms. Marvel (Episode 3) Review
EWell 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!
