Movie Mandates: ROPE (Single Location)

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  This month, we're watching movies that take place in a Single Location and up first is my mandated movie: Rope.  In this Hitchcock thriller, two guys murder a dude with a length of the titular rope, hide the body, then invite a bunch of people into their home to see if they can keep their nerves, anxiety, and guilt in check and get through a dinner party without tipping anyone off. But then their victim comes back to life and starts feasting on the brains of their guests!  Okay, I made that last part up but it's still a movie worth pointing your eyeballs at for 80 minutes! 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 14:48 - Rope review 59:30 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.  If you'd like to watch it, click here to find where it's streaming or available to rent.

Movie Mandates: THE GENERAL (Silent Movies)

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  It's Silent Movies month and I'm kicking things off with the Buster Keaton classic, THE GENERAL, a wacky adventure based on an amazing true story from the American Civil War that dares ask the question, "What if we changed things so the protagonists were fighting on the side of monstrous racists?!" You'll thrill to Keaton's stunning stunt work and deft comedic touch but you won't be able to root for him! 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 12:35 - The General review 1:00:45 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.  If you'd like to watch it, click here to find where it's streaming or available to rent.

Movie Mandates: DUEL (TV Movies)

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  We're wrapping up TV Movies month with Keleigh's mandated movie, Duel, the feature film debut of Steven Spielberg, which aired on ABC back in 1971, about a man terrorized by a semi-truck on the lonely highways of the California desert.  Is there a man of flesh and blood driving the truck or is it a ghost truck, forever cursed to roam the Antelope Valley Freeway to sate its unquenchable thirst for blood? It's just a dude but he's not really important so if you like "ghost truck" better, let's go with that! 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 14:36 - Duel review 1:02:35 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.  If you'd like to watch it, click here to find where it's streaming or available to rent.
