  The Prestige 2006

  ★★★★ Watched 01 Apr 2025

  We never planned on picking the perfect April Fools’ Day movie. But when it features one of the biggest twist endings in cinema what can we say? Sometimes these things *~magically~* happen. We’re doing our best to unpack all the trickery and deception in The Prestige (2006).

This critically-acclaimed body horror film may…

  There’s been a lot of talk about extraterrestrials lately. Like A LOT of talk. If there is definitive proof that aliens are living in the ocean, it might just be found in the Robert Zemeckis sci-fi classic Contact (1997). Joining us are Spro and Lee Take on the Academy to take a cosmic leap (and maybe a leap of faith) into whether or not we’re alone in the universe. Despite the lack of spaceships, Earth invasion, or even aliens for…
