    01:13:50||Ep. 180
    This week, we're plunging into the heart-pounding world of A Quiet Place: Day One! The latest chapter in the chilling A Quiet Place franchise takes us back to the origins of the terrifyingly silent apocalypse. Set before the events of the original film, this prequel uncovers the early days of the alien invasion and the human struggle for survival in a world where even the slightest sound can be deadly. With a fresh cast and new storylines, A Quiet Place: Day One offers a gripping exploration of fear, resilience, and the lengths we'll go to protect our loved ones. As we dissect the film's edge-of-your-seat tension and examine how it expands the universe of its predecessor, we ask: Does A Quiet Place: Day One build on the suspense and emotional depth of the original, or does it falter under the weight of its own ambition? Join us to find out, as we ask the question...

  • 179. #179 - Kinds of Kindness

    01:16:57||Ep. 179
    This week, we're venturing into the strange and intriguing world of Kinds of Kindness! From the delightfully unconventional mind of Yorgos Lanthimos, this latest film features a stellar cast, including Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, and Hong Chau. In this unique story, we find ourselves in a society where acts of kindness come with unexpected and often unsettling consequences. Lanthimos, known for his offbeat and thought-provoking narratives, crafts a tale that blends dark humor with a sharp critique of societal norms. As the characters navigate their increasingly bizarre and morally complex world, the true nature of kindness—and its hidden costs—comes to light. Join us as we unravel the layers of this unconventional film and explore Lanthimos’s signature blend of absurdity and insight. Does Kinds of Kindness manage to captivate with its unique vision, or does it get lost in its own eccentricity? And amid the darkly comedic twists and profound observations, we ask… But Is Kinds of Kindness Good?If you'd like to suggest a film or film franchise, or if you'd just like to say hello, you can reach us at biigpodcast@gmail.com, @biigpodcast on Twitter, or @butisitgoodpodcast on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube!

  • 177. #177 - Deadpool

    01:04:40||Ep. 177
    This week, we’re breaking the fourth wall and diving into the irreverent world of Deadpool (2016)! Directed by Tim Miller and starring Ryan Reynolds, this R-rated superhero romp follows Wade Wilson, a former Special Forces operative who becomes the wisecracking antihero known as Deadpool after undergoing an experimental procedure. With his new powers, an arsenal of sass, and a love for breaking the mold, Deadpool sets out to get revenge on the man who nearly ruined his life. Joining Reynolds are Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T.J. Miller, and a smattering of delightful, oddball characters. This film is as much a love letter to comic book fans as it is a hilarious, foul-mouthed parody of the superhero genre. Amidst the meta-humor, the absurdity, and the epic action sequences...

    58:20||Ep. 176
    This week we are reviewing Lee Isaac Chung’s Twisters! Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos, this sequel that feels like a remake (or as we like to say, requel) follows an up-and-coming stormchaser eager to make a difference. It has many of the same charms that the original film has, but does it stack up against the OG?

  • 174. #174 - The Favourite

    01:04:04||Ep. 174

Starring Olivia Colma, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz, this film follows the battle between cousins Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough and Abigail Hill for the favor of the queen, Anne. Loosely (and we mean loosely) based on historical events, this film is a raucously funny period piece driven by its' three female leads. But many questions remain! Is Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough the heiress of the Marlboro cigarette fortune (Not a sponsor)? (Also, no. We already know the answer to that question - it is no.) How does one treat gout in 18th century Great Britain? (Raw meat, apparently) But...

  • 172. #172 - Furiosa

    01:08:08||Ep. 172
    This week (after a week delay - sorry LOL Hunter got sick and then Zach got sick) we're diving into the newest addition to the Mad Max Saga - "Furious." More accurately, we're having a debate where Zach convinced Hunter that he should care about this movie, and Hunter tries to convince Zach that just because he didn't care, doesn't mean that it wasn't good. Anyway, so there's that. Also we ask the question...But is Furiosa good?
