Dave and Ryan's Movie Review

A Supersized year-end episode! Dave and Ryan review the latest James Cameron release, Avatar: Fire and Ash. Does it live up to the hype of the other two movies? 2025 was a good year for the box office, and Dave and Ryan give you the rundown of the worldwide and domestic box office. These two watched a lot of movies this year, and they'll give you a rundown of their top ten.

This week, Dave and Ryan review the latest Knives Out Mystery- Wake Up Deadman starring Daniel Craig, Josh Brolin, and Glenn Close. Did Dave stay awake for this one? Tragedy struck Hollywood with the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife. Reiner had an eclectic film catalog, including one that is a staple in Utah. And with Christmas around the corner, Dave and Ryan talk about their must-watch movies at Christmas time.

This week, Dave and Ryan watched Jay Kelly, starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler, a story about an aging movie star riddled with regret. Autobiographical? You be the judge. Clooney has had an unbelievable career from his start on Facts of Life to his Oscar glory, and Dave and Ryan discuss. What's a hostile takeover? It's what Paramount is trying to pull on Warner Bros. Dave and Ryan give you the highlights (and lowlights).

This week, the boys discuss the new Michelle Pfeiffer holiday movie, Oh What Fun, on Amazon Prime. Is it fun? Then they dig into the Christmas Classic, Home Alone, released in 1990. Dave and Ryna wrap up the show by discussing Netflix and its attempted purchase of Warner Bros. Is it good or bad for Hollywood?

This week, Dave and Ryan review Wicked: For Good. Is it Wicked good, Wicked bad, or just Wicked OK? Tom Cruise was awarded an Honorary Oscar. Was it warranted?

This week, the boys talk about Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, now on Netflix. There are movies out there that some people think are Darn Near Perfect —are they, though? The holiday season is right around the corner, so we'll talk about upcoming releases for the family.  

Dave and Ryan made it to the theater and reviewed the latest Predator franchise entry, Predator: Badlands. Then, Todd Maetani joins us to discuss the use of color in film. Dave finally watched Akira, and Todd stuck around to discuss this piece of anime magic.

Welcome to Dave and Ryan's Movie Review Take 125. Let's talk about the newest release from Angle Studios, Truth and Treason. It's November, and that means lots of movies hitting theaters with Oscar aspirations. We talk about some that will make it and some that don't stand a chance.  Dick Tracy, a 35-year-old Warren Beatty film with an A-list cast, first hit the screens in 1990, which begs the question, "Does It Hold Up?"

This week, the boys talk all things Halloween, starting with the movie review of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, starring Paul Rudd in his first motion picture role. Every once in a while, you get a movie franchise that has just worn out its welcome. Is Halloween that franchise? Dave and Ryan talk about it in Too Many Sequels. Enough of the scary movies, let's talk about some family-friendly Halloween movies.

This week, we take a look at the life of John Candy, who died at age 43 in 1994, by talking about the Amazon MGM documentary I Like Me.
