    It pales in comparison to Conan the Barbarian, but the sequel brings its own flavor. Luke & Corrye welcome back Friend of the Pod Cory K. to lampoon and praise the nuances of this Arnold Schwarzenegger romp, which...

  • Aug 1, 20262h 1m

    Matt Damon has faced some interesting foes before: The Bellagio, Mars, Carmine Scarpaglia, and Teddy KGB, to name a few. But this time, he's met his match! Luke & Corrye get way too serious about this beauty of a film...

  • Jun 21, 20262h 4m

    The reviews around Steven Spielberg's 35th film are mixed, but there's no mixing up Luke & Corrye's feelings on the blockbuster: a 9 out of 10 rating for both Chumps. The fellas break down what they loved about it, the...

  • May 17, 20261h 42m

    The theatrical version was a disaster. Critics weren't a fan, and neither were theater-goers. Then Ridley Scott said hold my beer - and released this puppy months later. The 3-hour director's cut is filled to the brim...

    Two completely different films. So much so that it feels wrong calling 2025's The Running Man a remake. Luke & Corrye find a ton of ridiculousness in Arnold Schwarzenegger's version, and timely commentary and nods to...

  • Apr 1, 20261h 38m

    The book was phenomenal. Was the movie able to translate to the big screen? The Chumps were floored...and came to the film from different avenues: Corrye read the book 3 times. Luke read it 0 times.

  • Feb 12, 20261h 42m

    Is One Battle After Another a thriller, a father/daughter film, a black comedy, or a social commentary? Yes to everything. Luke & Corrye sift through all the bananas decisions by Paul Thomas Anderson that makes this an...

  • Jan 18, 20262 hour

    Timothée Chalamet and Josh Safdie. What a combination. The young actor and the rising director concoct one of the great New York City films of all time, packed with absolutely bananas situations that ping-pong player...

  • Dec 22, 20252h 5m

    A hat trick for Rian Johnson! The director feeds us the third Benoit Blanc film, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery , and once again, gets us exercising our brains and funny bone. Luke hated the cast chemistry but...

  • Nov 23, 20251h 43m

    It's Dek, Thia, and Bud vs. those rascals at the Weyland-Yutani! On a booby-trapped planet, no less! Luke & Corrye lap up the action sequences and world building that director Dan Trachtenberg brings to his third...

  • Nov 3, 20251h 41m

    Friend of the Pod Cory K brings his brand of swagger back to Movie Chumps. From mood to cinematography to some truly frightening scenes, Nosferatu proves to be a worthy watch from the always reliable Robert Eggers. But...

  • Nov 3, 20251h 47m

    This biopic gets a metric ton correct: the facts, the casting, the early 80s atmosphere, the motivations behind the Nebraska album. But Luke & Corrye believe Scott Cooper misses with trying to stick the landing. The...

  • Sep 30, 20252h 23m

    Stephen King's latest book-to-movie adaptation is a winner, from top to bottom. And Hoosiers is the GOAT of sports movies (and Luke's GOAT, period). As our country wrestles with unsettling events, Luke & Corrye reflect...

  • Aug 18, 20251h 44m

    Gibson and Glover. The chemistry isn't second to none. Toss in some dynamite Gary Busey hijinx (who calls themselves Mr. Joshua?), Shane Black's wacky writing, and of course that sultry saxophone - and you've got...

  • Jul 21, 20252h 1m

    It's the best 8 out of 10 movies we've seen in years. James Gunn takes a crack at Superman - and it works quite swimmingly. Luke & Corrye fall in love with the character chemistry (Mr. Terrific and Guy Gardner, Clark...

  • Jul 1, 20252h 10m

    A worthy addition to the 28 ___ Later saga, no doubt! Director Danny Boyle (with help from writer Alex Garland and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle) hits an absolute moonshot with 28 Years Later - the third...

  • May 19, 20251h 57m

    It's quintessential Arnold! What a way to kick off the 1990s - with a futuristic, Paul Verhoeven-directed beauty with old school practical effects on full display. Luke & Corrye have a riot on the rewatch, as the Chumps...

  • Apr 27, 20251h 50m

    Luke wastes little time explaining why he gave Sinners a "12 out of 10" once the credits hit, and Corrye articulates why he's already pre-ordered the Blu-Ray steelbook (despite no release date yet). Ryan Coogler joins...

  • Mar 16, 20251h 33m

    A wet fart from famed director Bong Joon Ho? Luke & Corrye lean "yes." Though Robert Pattinson sparkles as the titular character, much of this novel-based film didn't quite land for the Chumps. Luke explains his small...
