This week Ian and Caleb salute the idealistic Americana of Frequency. We try to decide if Caveziel is a good actor. Also, is this a baseball movie? We express our respect to Quaid for committing to the accent. Michael Cera steals the scene. Plus, truly one of the most insane Letterboxd reviews we’ve ever read - it’s really worth skipping to the end for at the very least.All this and more on this week’s Log It!

Caleb, Ian, and Andy take the field to discuss the Daniel Stern helmed Rookie of the Year. We talk baseball nostalgia, Garey Busey as a baseball legend and mentor, the unrealized potential of Thomas Ian Nicholas, and give our pitch for Rookie of the Year 2. Plus, Daniel Stern's inspiration for the movie, and how John Candy ended up in the film.All this and more on this week’s Log It!

Caleb and Ian talk the balls and strikes of Tony Scott’s baseball thriller, The Fan. This is an absurd movie and we loved talking about it. We take a swing at on-the-nose dialogue, the absurd pacing and editing, and the dreamlike logic. We talk the surprising Snipes performance and familiar De Niro role. And of course, we talk De Niro’s knives. All this and more on this week’s Log It!

Ian and Caleb kick things off with the controversial Mother!, a recommendation from a previous episode. We hear Ian's take on Alex Garland's Civil War and whether it lives up to the hype. Caleb talks 2010's Gulliver's Travels, and we hear Ian's take on Dream Scenario. Then we revisit Nolan's The Prestige (not The Illusionist) and Ian tells how it holds up. Finally, another Alex Garland movie, Men.

We talk great sunglasses in In The Heat of the Night, the subpar Mel Gibson thriller, On the Line, the enduring humor of Zombieland, we return to the Ian-recommended I Love My Dad to hear Caleb's take on it, and wrap things up with NCU (Newspaper Cinematic Universe) thriller Boston Strangler and a quick trip in the MCU to talk Thor: Ragnarok.

This week Caleb talks about 1971's cult classic, Vanishing Point, two movies from 2023; Academy Award winner Anatomy of a Fall, and Sam Esmail's Leave The World Behind.
