Film School Janitors Review Films

To some, this one's a classic. For one Film School Janitors, it was the first time watching it! THE CABIN IN THE WOODS was co-written by PROJECT HAIL MARY screenwriter, Drew Goddard. See how an earlier film shows his style as the Janitors review TCITW without having yet seen PHM. Chris Hemsworth also happened to film this before THOR, but this came out after. Fun!

The final season of THE BOYS is about to drop, so here's the breakdown of season 2 of its spinoff, GEN V, courtesy of the Film School Janitors!

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! The next assignment: THE CARPENTER'S SON (2025) In it, Nic Cage plays Joseph and how he travels with and protects Jesus from temptation. FKA Twigs plays Mary. It's weird. And the Janitors nail it down! Er... probably a bad choice of words...

The CINEMA COLLEGE CUSTODIANS are back, and should this be considered a classic? If you've been yearning for the co-stars of GREMLINS (no, not GIZMO and STRIPE) to re-unite and make a "raunchy" 90's comedy, then look no further than ROUND TRIP TO HEAVEN! It's got everything: bumbling cops, a beauty pageant, a Bozo-the-clown clone, Bowser from ONE DAY AT A TIME... The Custodians got it covered!

The Elementary Film School Janitors watched PROJECT HAIL MARY! Did you? This review is lava, and it's amaze amaze amaze!

The CINEMA COLLEGE CUSTODIANS are back, and this one is a challenge! Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson finally team-up in DIE MY LOVE, by director Lynne Ramsay. If you don't know Lynne Ramsay, she also directed WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN and YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE (and RATCATCHER and MOVERN CALLAR, but you may have only heard of the first two). Anyway... listen or don't. Watch it or don't. That's about the best warning I can give you.

For some reason, the Film School Janitors decided to watch all things TOXIC AVENGER, and this is them finally on the other side of completing that task. After CITIZEN TOXIE: THE TOXIC AVENGER IV, they only have the kids' cartoon (?!) and the remake to go! Thank TROMA!

Netflix is back with another "original" feature, and the Film School Janitors are their to clean up their mess! This time it's a little sci-fi actioner called WAR MACHINE. (It has nothing to do with the MCU.) It's basically military porn with a killer robot. Check it out or don't - just make sure you listen to this review!

The ELEMENTARY FILM SCHOOL JANITORS are back! Well, at least two of them are for this review... What did they watch? WONDER MAN on Disney+ Did you check it out? Why don't you check out what these two think? Listen now!

The Film School Janitors are taking a break! The Cinema College Custodians had good reason to see THE HOUSEMAID! It's all laid bare in this podcast!

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: GUNSLINGERS In the future years of 2085, people don't shoot guns anymore - they throw them at each in a sport called "Gunslinging"... Kidding! This is another Nic Cage western about a town of outlaws battling bounty hunters. Listen to find out if that makes it better or worse than the sci-fi idea!

The CINEMA COLLEGE CUSTODIANS are back at it, and this time they saw director Sam Raimi's latest, SEND HELP! No, they're not asking you to "send help" randomly at the end of a sentence - that's the movie's name, SEND HELP! Again, we're not suddenly interjecting to say, "send help"...

Here's the MOP-UP for the BUCKET LIST regarding all the films made about POPEYE, both good and bad! Wait, were there good ones?! The Film School Janitors make their final conclusions!

How do you follow up a surprise hit movie with a sequel? M3GAN 2.0 is a great example to study, and the Film School Janitors are just not the guys to do it - but they sure do try!

Here's the next entry on the BUCKET LIST of POPEYE public domain movies: POPEYE THE SLAYER MAN. How closely does this one hew to the source material? Listen to the Film School Janitors discuss it all!

Well, just like the brothers played by Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa fight in THE WRECKING CREW, sometimes the Film School Janitors fight like brothers, too. This is their battle, um, I mean, review. Enjoy!

The Film School Janitors are back with another entry for this BUCKET LIST of POPEYE movies! For SHIVER ME TIMBERS, they decided to add Halley's Comet's passing of Earth in 1986 as the starting point. Where it goes from there, you'll either have to listen to the podcast, watch the flick, or if you're brave - both!

Have you been waiting since DOGMA for Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to be in another movies together?! Well, since then, there were two other JAY AND SILENT BOB movies, THE LAST DUAL, and AIR... but now there's also THE RIP! This time they are cops and the mystery is are they the good guys or the bad guys? No, it's not science fiction, but it is on Netflix! What did the Film School Janitors think about their latest pairing? Listen to find out!

WE'RE BACK IN CLASS, BABY! 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 time, it's the film originally titled, "Cop Gives Waitress Million Dollar Tip"... IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU! (They didn't use the exclamation point, though.) Which name is better? Who cares! This is one of those feel-good movies they don't make enough of anymore, but is it a feel-good review? Listen to find out!

Popeye's gone public domain, so the Film School Janitors are making a BUCKET LIST of his movies! For this go, it's POPEYE'S REVENGE, a film not in the same series as the TWISTED CHILDHOOD UNIVERSE, but made by that same production company. What did the Janitors think about this version? Listen to find out!

This might be one of the longest podcast titles the Film School Janitors have ever had! They've gone ahead and yanked another film from the trash bin, and this time, it's THE TOXIC AVENGER PART III: THE LAST TEMPTATION OF TOXIE! Listen, you know what you're getting from this flick, and you know what you're getting from this review!

Welcome to another round of the Film School Janitors' BUCKET LIST! For this outing, they will be discussing all the films about POPEYE! Now you may be wondering how there is more than one film about our favorite cartoon sailor with an affinity for spinach, and that's because in 2025, he entered the public domain! But back in in 1980, he was still protected under copyright law, so Robin Williams played POPEYE in his first movie role, and how did that all pan out? Listen to find out!

The Film School Janitors are back with another Rodney's Wrecks! This time, it's the 1973 exploitation film, TERMINAL ISLAND! When California abolishes the death penalty, they set up an island where they send all the convicted murderers, and what the prisoners do once there is what this movie is all about! Decent premise, but does the flick mange to, um, kill it? Listen to find out!

The Film School Janitors not only review CHAINSAW MAN - THE MOVIE: REZE ARC, but also pretty much the first season of the tv show. Even if you know nothing about any of it, they pretty much got you covered. Why am I saying "pretty" so much? That's pretty weird.

This movie is cool. And not just because the second half of it looks like it takes place in a snow globe. BALLERINA, a spin-off of JOHN WICK, stars Ana de Armas as a ballerina assassin, and the Film School Janitors might be in love. And this movie deserves more love. And flame throwers!

The Film School Janitors watched the first season of IT - WELCOME TO DERRY, and they are still hiding under the covers, which then in turn changed into a womb, and then they spilled out of a demon's--- you know what, this description almost had a spoiler, but this review definitely has SPOILERS! If you haven't watched it, and plan to, wait until after watching to listen. If you haven't watched it yet, or you don't mind spoilers, listen away! That's my PSA for today!

Hold onto your swinging appendages for this one. 28 YEARS LATER is the third film in a trilogy, but it's also the first film in a new trilogy. Does your brain feel fried? Well, that's an early sign of the rage virus, and the Film School Janitors are hear to help you with that. Really, all they can do is clean up after you. You should go see a doctor...

What keeps bringing the masses out to watch these films? Surely, it's all the blue butts? Right? The Film School Janitors watched AVATER: FIRE AND ASH in IMAX 3D as James Cameron intended, and this is what they thought about it! Plus in your head tail tendrils and listen now!

This Film School Janitors' review of OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY goes a little bit all over the place - just like OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY! Even though it pretty much happens in just one place!

The Cinema College Custodians take over for the Film School Janitors once again, and this time they are tackling a film with a lot of baggage - and we're not talking baggage you claim at the airport! LOVE ACTUALLY arrived at the baggage claim, er, at the theaters in 2003, and it's had a storied history of re-evaluations since then, so now it's the Custodians turn! Unwrap this Joni Mitchell CD and maybe it's an ugly necklace!

The Film School Janitors know trash when they see it, and with this review they ask - is CHRISTMAS WITH THE KRANKS trash? Or is it gold? Or frankincense? Or myrhh? Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis star in this adaptation of a John Grisham novel (yes, the courtroom thriller guy tried to get some of that crunchy Christmas cash). The nicest thing to say about this film is... it's weird. The naughtiest thing to say... involves a strange tanning booth sequence in the film. Unwrap this podcast today to find out more!

The Film School Janitors are working the day shift, and the Cinema College Custodians cover the night! This time they get together to discuss the sequel that's on its way to breaking box office records, ZOOTOPIA 2! How does it compare to the first film? Listen to find out!

Rodney picked this one, and can you say you're surprised? The Film School Janitors watched the low-brow, low-budget horror (?)/ comedy (?!) called EVIL TOONS. Is there evil? Yes. Is there 'toons? Only one 'toon for about 90 seconds. But there are a couple of other reasons to watch this trashy flick - why David Carradine and Dick Miller, of course! What were you thinking?

Sometimes the Film School Janitors need to work extra hours as CINEMA COLLEGE CUSTODIANS! This is their first review and it's a doozy! Emma Stone shaved her head for BUGONIA, and what poor custodian had to clean that mess up!

I don't think the Film School Janitors are giving this movie series its proper due! THE TOXIC AVENGER PART II is the sequel to the origin story about a janitor superhero... what else could they ask for?! That they take Toxie to Japan? Ask and ye shall receive!

What won't the Film School Janitors watch and review for their fans? Well, they watched and reviewed PLAYDATE, so I would venture to say the sky's the limit!

Hey, it's the next film in the Conjuring Universe - THE CONJURING 2! The Film School Janitors will get through all these movies... eventually. What did they think about this one, based on a famous hoax called "the Enfield Poltergeist"? Listen to find out!

So Hollywood went and did a thing... they remade THE CROW thirty years later after decades of trying to reboot it. How did they do? The Film School Janitors make the caw. Check it out!

The Film School Janitors take upon themselves to dissect two of the most important films ever made - TRUCKS and MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE! Both are based on a short story by Stephen King. One is more accurate to the source material, and the other is directed by King himself! Listen now to get a great costume idea for next Halloween! Enjoy!

Elle Fanning Movies are back, baby! Or, franchises are king! Perhaps, if you make a good version of a well-known property, people will go the theater to watch it! The Film School Janitors saw PREDATOR: BADLANDS and listen to what they thought about it!

When one of the Film School Janitors happen to find themselves watching a film like REGRETTING YOU, you know they got to talk about it!

What's dead doesn't stay dead. Well, that might actually be more in line with zombies, but it also can be said about The Creature in FRANKENSTEIN, Guillermo del Toro's version made for Netflix. The Film School Janitors discuss their thoughts on this latest adaptation of a mad scientist and his creation, who may have superpowers...? Listen to find out!

A couple more opinions and lingering thoughts about TRON: ARES, courtesy of your Film School Janitors!

So have the Film School Janitors ever reviewed any other seasons of DEXTER prior to DEXTER: RESURRECTION? Nope! But they go over a fair amount of the lore while they review the latest season in a series of reboots and sequels. Check it out now!

The Film School Janitors deal with another film by A24! This time it's a review of DEATH OF A UNICORN, starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega! Is it a comedy, a comedy fantasy, a dark comedy, a horror comedy, a horror film, or a classic A24 weirdfest? Listen to find out!

One of the Film School Janitors decided to try two different reviews of the same film - BONE LAKE. This is the combination of both reviews for you to review!

Time for the second film in THE CONJURING UNIVERSE! A couple of the Film School Janitors watched ANNABELLE, and this is their review! It's a movie about about a doll. That's beloved. But it's creepy! Make it make sense!

The Film School Janitors completed their first BUCKET LIST - five movies about ESCAPE ROOM(s) that were sometimes supernatural, sometimes sci-fi, sometimes an escape house, but always deadly! And this is the wrap-up review!

This is technically the fourth and fifth films on the BUCKET LIST of ESCAPE ROOM movies, but these are the only two that are direct sequels of each other: ESCAPE ROOM (2019) and ESCAPE ROOM: TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS (2021). Could they have been two separate podcasts? Yeah, probably. The Film School Janitors thought for sure it would be quicker to review them together, but it certainly didn't turn out that way. Enjoy and stayed tuned for the final ranking of this BUCKET LIST!

A couple of Film School Janitors went to see TRON: ARES (actually three did, but one didn't make it to lunch), and they discuss everything they possibly can about this third film, as well as TRON and TRON: LEGACY. And getting old. They definitely talk about getting old...
