May 21, 2026, with Dave and Darren — “Obsession,” “Is God Is,” “In the Grey,” and “Marty, Life Is Short”



Dave Levora, Darren Pitra, and Mike Schulz discuss film. Why is it that most Star Wars fans and that includes Levora are incapable of ginning up much enthusiasm for The Mandalorian & Grogu? Could it be that the last few franchise films, umm, sucked?

Dave Levora, Darren Pitra, and Mike Schulz discuss film. Did you know Dave has never watched Dazed and Confused? This news left us floored; and now we don’t know what to do. Perhaps a visit to a screening of the film at The Last Picture House will set us straight and informed.

April 23, 2026, with Dave and Darren — “Lee Cronin’s the Mummy,” “Normal,” “Lorne,” and “Busboys”



Dave Levora, Darren Pitra, and Mike Schulz review the latest crop of cinema and anticipate those on their way. Also, Schulz discusses why he thinks Busboys might be his least-favorite movie of the Snorin’ Twenties. Who would know more about why Schulz feels this way about Busboys than Schulz himself?

April 16, 2026, with Dave and Darren — “Faces of Death,” “You, Me & Tuscany,” and “Mr Nobody Against Putin”



Dave Levora, Darren Pitra, and Mike Schulz love kung fu movies in 33mm stock — great taste, impractical format. Happily, The Last Picture House will be playing nine such films on April 17 and 18. Capital luck there! And they review movies.

April 9, 2026, with Dave and Darren — “The Drama,” “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” and “Pizza Movie”



Dave Levora, Darren Pitra, and Mike Schulz remain besotted by the forthcoming Oscar ceremony while still managing to discuss cinema both in-house and on the make. Levora’s case that The Drama would win an Oscar for Best Trailer has left folks wondering if there should be a whole different award ceremony to celebrate the work of the advertisers in selling those films to the moviegoing public. What would we call them? The Mopies (a shortening of “Motion Picture Arts and Sciences”)? Would the statuettes be cast in an Art Nouveau mold to contrast it with the Oscars’ Art Deco style? All very worthwhile questions.

In-house:

April 2, 2026, with Dave and Darren — “Project Hail Mary,” “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come,” “The Pout-Pout Fish,” “They Will Kill You,” and “Forbidden Fruits”



Dave Levora, Darren Pitra, and Mike Schulz have moved their weekly round table from 8:15AM to 9:45AM, which seems preferable. They have twelve minutes to get their thoughts out on what’s in theatre and what’s coming. Amazingly, they cover a lot of ground and come in under the time limit.

Dave Levora, Darren Pitra, and Mike Schulz discuss the forthcoming Oscars with breaths only tenuously held in bate, and the animated short films being honored in particular. Oh, and they manage to discuss the current crop of film, both available and forthcoming.
