The movie you're making us watch today is Flight Risk, directed by Mel Gibson, featuring Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery, and Topher Grace. Despite the star power, this action thriller stumbles at nearly every turn. The plot, which centers on a high-stakes flight with a fugitive, feels like a tired mix of clichés, and the performances, while competent, can't save it from its unconvincing dialogue and predictable twists. Gibson’s direction does little to elevate the material—why does a film with such a promising premise feel so flat? What happened to the tension we were promised? Join us as we dissect the film’s many missed opportunities, from underwhelming action sequences to a story that never quite takes off.

The movie you're making us watch today is Nosferatu! Robert Eggers revives the original vampire tale with plenty of moody shadows and Willem Dafoe’s signature creep factor, but let’s face it—this one doesn’t quite earn eternal life. Sure, it’s stylish and brooding, but we’re not sure it did enough to truly cement itself in horror history.
Schwizzy, Jake, and Anthony are going to bite the head of this bat and tell you what we really think about this classic retelling. And if you think we’re wrong? Clearly, you don’t understand cinema.

The movie you're making me watch today is U Turn, Oliver Stone’s sweaty, sun-drenched sexy noir about bad luck, worse people, and some seriously shady business in a nowhere town. It’s got a star-studded cast—Sean Penn, Jennifer Lopez, Billy Bob Thornton, Nick Nolte, Powers Boothe—and enough drama to fill an Arizona desert. Jake hated it, Schwizzy loved it, and I’m lost in the chaos. Opinions are STRONG in this one so let’s get into it!

It's that time of year again! In this Halloween Special of Making Me Watch Movies, your demonic hosts dive into the ultimate supernatural binge: the entire Paranormal Activity franchise. Starting with Oren Peli’s 2007 original, a low-budget nightmare that redefined horror, we follow every chilling chapter up to Next of Kin in 2021, exploring the scares that haunted audiences for over a decade.

We'll tackle memorable moments like the infamous bedroom scenes, the nerve-wracking Kinect setups, and the "found footage within found footage" ...We debate the effectiveness of each film's scares, the franchise’s unique impact on the found footage genre, and whether Next of Kin served as a fitting conclusion—or left us wanting more.

Brace yourself for chills, thrills, and plenty of laughs as we rank the jump scares, analyze the franchise’s wild continuity, and unpack the genius (or madness) of Oren Peli's groundbreaking vision that started it all.
