Smile 2 Review
EOnly two of the Film School Janitors could handle watching SMILE 2, and the thing they were most grateful for was that the studio didn't lamely name it SMILE TOO. Otherwise, they completely disagreed about the movie. Listen to find out why!

Hulu's Paradise (Season 1) Review
EHow long does it take for the wheels to fall off the Film School Janitors' review of the first season of PARADISE? Not long at all, but they quickly get it back on track and discuss the highs and the lows (and the silos) of it all. If you haven't watched the show yet and don't want spoilers, beware! But if spoilers are your kind of thing, dive right in!

Black Bag (2025) Review
ECould the Film School Janitors went full spoilers while reviewing BLACK BAG? Of course they could have, BUT THEY DON'T! That usually means they want you to watch it first - but is it because they liked it, or not? You'll have to listen to find out.

LITTER BITS: Val Kilmer
EThe Film School Janitors discuss the passing of VAL KILMER.

MIXING BLEACH AND AMMONIA: Drop (2025) & Trap (2024) Reviews
EWhen does a filmmaker become a brand? That's what the Film School Janitors (try to) discuss while reviewing Christopher Landon's latest, DROP, as well as RECYCLE REVIEWING M. Night Shyamalan's TRAP. Besides both having four-letter titles with two of the same letters in the same spots, there are some structural and tonal similarities. Not too many, though, otherwise this wouldn't be MIXING BLEACH AND AMMONIA. Make sure your room is well ventilated...

YANKED FROM THE TRASH BIN: Zombeavers (2015) Review
EThe Film School Janitors wouldn't be who they are if they didn't watch movies like ZOMBEAVERS. Why it took so long to get to it is the better question. What it's about shouldn't be a question at all...

Peacock's The Day of the Jackal (Season 1) Review
EI know what you're thinking - Peacock has something to watch and the Film School Janitors watched it! Based on the book, which became a 70's thriller and a 90's action-er, THE DAY OF THE JACKAL exists again... this time as a TV show. Is it worth your time (and effort to figure out how to get Peacock)? Listen to find out!

MIXING BLEACH AND AMMONIA: Kraven the Hunter & Venom: The Last Dance Review
EThis might not be the bleachiest and ammonia-est mix of films, but the Film School Janitors tackle the final two entries in the SONY SPIDER-MAN UNIVERSE which sadly does not feature Spider-Man. They discuss what worked and what didn't in KRAVEN THE HUNTER and VENOM: THE LAST DANCE!

Amazon Prime's Beast Games (Season 1) Review
EIF anyone doesn't at least have a passing knowledge of Mr. Beast... ya old. Even though the Film School Janitors are "older," let it be known they are familiar with the YouTube star and his money stunts. So it seems inevitable that the BEAST GAMES (a real-life ripoff of SQUID GAMES which also had a real-life version) would come to exist. The Janitors watched it and these are their thoughts!

YANKED FROM THE TRASH BIN: The Guyver (1991) Review
EIf you were alive in the 90s, THE GUYVER mania was everywhere. Psych! (Or is it "sike"?) The Film School Janitors watched the live-action interpretation of the anime about a man with a living (?) super-suit battling humans that can turn into gremlins and predators and such ilk, and this is their review. Enjoy!

Netflix's The Electric State Review
EOh, sweet rhubarb, is THE ELECTRIC STATE technically a movie? Yes. And did the Film School Janitors watch it? Yes. Did they review it? Yes. This is it.

Last Breath (2025) Review
EYou don't have to hold your breath much longer, because here's the LAST BREATH review by the Film School Janitors! What do you mean you weren't holding your breath? You were just regular breathing? Oh well, here's the review about a movie based on a documentary about deep-sea divers trying to save one of their own. Enjoy!

Apple TV+'s The Gorge Review
EIn French, "gorge" means throat. In English, it's a movie about giant hole that maybe leads to hell...? The Film School Janitors watched THE GORGE, starring that guy that flew jets that wasn't Tom Cruise and the witch from a movie about a new mutants. Enjoy!

Novocaine Review
EOne of the Film School Janitors saw an advance screening of NOVOCAINE!

Netflix's Cobra Kai (Season 6 Finale, Eps 11-15) Review
EYou're the best around, and these are the last five episodes of COBRA KAI forever! (Or for right now...?) The Film School Janitors discuss whether they stick the landing, or fall flat on their face.

LITTER BITS: Heart Eyes & Love Hurts (2025) Reviews
EJust a couple of Film School Janitors driving jalopies drinking java and talking about HEART EYES and LOVE HURTS!

The Monkey (2025) Review
EWhat do you get when you take a short story by Stephen King and have director Osgood Perkins (LONGLEGS and son of PSYCHO's star psycho) put his spin on a full-length film? Well, you get THE MONKEY. How did it turn out? Listen to find out!

LITTER BITS: Babygirl & Love Me (2024) Reviews
ESean watched two movies the other Film School Janitors will not watch: BABYGIRL and LOVE ME. He makes the other Janitors listen to him talk about the Nicole Kidman and Kristen Stewart films (also starring Antonio Banderas and Steven Yeun, respectively). Enjoy!

The Brutalist Review
EOnly one Film School Janitors watched THE BRUTALIST, so he made the other Janitors listen to him talk about it!

Captain America: Brave New World Review
EThat even felt good to write the name of this review - CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD. Over the seven years the Film School Janitors have been reviewing movies (and shows and streaming content and other dumb stuff...), the MCU has been one of the most constant sources of content. (Will they ever get back to the NCU - Nic Cage University? For sure!) Welcome back, Cap! No cap. (Did I use that correctly?)

LITTER BITS: Reviews of Previews
EThe the Elementary Film School Janitors just review some previews? They sure did! Now it's the Film School Janitors' turn. Will they do actual reviews for these upcoming movies? Probably! So stay tuned!

YANKED FROM THE TRASH BIN: Chompy & the Girls (2021) Review
EYou have probably never heard of CHOMPY & THE GIRLS. Let's be honest - no one has heard of this movie except for the actors in it. Neither had the Film School Janitors, but that didn't stop them from investigating. Was it worth the journey? Listen to find out!

Dan Da Dan (Episodes 9-12) Review
EWell, the Film School Janitors finally wrap up the season, and Jay actually watched some of it... but he has some valid concerns. Enjoy the final review for season one now!

EDid you know Cameron Diaz retired from acting? Well, she's back with former co-star Jamie Foxx in Netflix's latest spilt milk delivery - BACK IN ACTION! What do the Film School Janitors think about that? Listen to find out!

Netflix's Subservience Review
EWhat if a horny dad bought a robot that looked like Megan Fox to help keep the house while his wife gets a heart transplant? Well that sentence is already way more interesting than SUBSERVIENCE ended up being. Listen to the Film School Janitors' review to find out more!

Netflix's Squid Game (Season 2) Review
EIf seven episodes make a season, then the Film School Janitors finished watching season 2 of SQUID GAME, and this is their review!

YANKED FROM THE TRASH BIN: The Phantom Empire (1988) Review
EThis stoned film found amongst the rubble could be a gem or complete trash depending upon your take! The Film School Janitors break down the nonsense that is THE PHANTOM EMPIRE, and they drag you along for the ride!

Amazon Prime's Secret Level (Season 1) Review
EThe Film School Janitors cannot get enough of their animated anthologies, so here's the their latest review of SECRET LEVEL! It's an animated collection of short stories based on video games and apps. How was it overall? You'll have to listen to find out!

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Review
EAre we completing a trilogy, or feeding into the beast? Some (one) of the Film School Janitors watched SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 and this is their discussion about it... and more!

Red One (2024) Review
EThe Film School Janitors review Amazon Prime's theatrically-released, holiday action picture, RED ONE, and do battle with a jealous dog in the background! The Janitors battle the dog - not the cast of RED ONE!

Netflix's Carry-On (2024) Review
EIs it possible that CARRY-ON can take out another Christmas action film classic (it's a little film called DIE HARD)? Listen to the Film School Janitors as they try to figure it out! (Spoiler alert - there ain't much figuring!)

Paramount+'s Dear Santa (2024) Review
EThe Film School Janitors watched DEAR SANTA so you don't have to! This is a movie where a kid writes a letter to Satan instead of Santa and hilarity... ensues...? Listen to this review instead!

Here (2024) Review
EHere's the pitch for HERE: put a camera in one spot and film it for millions of years. Billed as a reunion for the stars and creator of FORREST GUMP, how does the movie compare? Listen to the Film School Janitors as they discuss all that and more... here!

LITTER BITS: Superman Trailer, Kraven the Hunter, Spider-Verse Drama
EA little bit of comic book talk from the Film School Janitors! Howzabout that new SUPERMAN trailer?! Whatintheheckz going on with KRAVEN THE HUNTER?! Holyjumpingspiderz is Shameik Moore the cause of the delays in the SPIDER-VERSE?!

EThe ELEMENTARY FILM SCHOOL JANITORS are back to celebrate a holiday classic: IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE! Bonus! They also review the SNL classic "lost finale" skit!

Boy Kills World Review
EManic is a good descriptor for the movie BOY KILLS WORLD. It's ultimately a revenge flick with a bunch of flourishes and maybe a twist or surprise here and there. Find out what the Film School Janitors thought by listening now!

Netflix's Cobra Kai (Season 6, Eps 1-10) Review
EFive more episodes to go... forever! Unless they do a spin-off or something. The Film School Janitors watched the first two parts of season six of COBRA KAI, and this is their review. BONUS: Predictions for the final five episodes included for free!

Peacock's Hysteria! (Season 1) Review
EAnother episode of Janitor Driving Jalopies Drinking Java! This time around they discuss HYSTERIA! which is Peacock's foray into STRANGER THINGS territory. Satanic Panic in the 80's is fertile ground for content, but how did the show ultimately turn out? Listen to find out!

Dan Da Dan (Episodes 1-8) Review
EThis show's first season isn't done yet, but we couldn't wait to talk about DAN DA DAN! It's a new weekly anime on Netflix, and it's a love story with aliens and spirits and powers! Highly recommend checking it out, or just listen to this! And tune back in when the season is finished!

Abigail Review
EABIGAIL is one of those movies where you know exactly what you're going to get if you even caught a whiff of one of the previews. If you've never seen a trailer for this film, I'll spoil it here: it's about a vampire ballerina. And the Film School Janitors reviewed it. Listen now!

Gladiator II Review
EIt's been 24 years, but GLADIATOR II finally (actually?) exists! And (some of) the Film School Janitors watched it! Here is their review!

Heretic Review
EAnother episode of Janitors in Jalopies Drinking Java! This time they tackle the challenging film, also known as an everyday, typical A24 film, HERETIC. Hugh Grant goes into creepy mode, and the Film School Janitors have thoughts about that!

Sting (2024) Review
EFor as many spiders as there are in the world, there doesn't seem to be too many spider movies (not counting the films where a person is bitten by a radioactive one). Even STING isn't directly about a giant spider. Listen to the Film School Janitors' review to find out more!

Disney+'s Agatha All Along Review
EIs this the first season of AGATHA ALL ALONG, or a special event? Will the Film School Janitors become Janitors Driving Jalopies While Drinking Java, or is it a one-time thing? Listen to find out!

Hulu's Carved Review
EIt ain't Halloween anymore and it ain't quite Thanksgiving, but it doesn't matter because CARVED ain't quite a movie! The Film School Janitors checked out the Hulu release, and they have some thoughts! Listen now!

FOUND BEHIND THE VENDING MACHINE: Freaky (2020) Review
