Making Me Watch Movies
There’s a new gold standard in film criticism, and it’s three guys with microphones and absolutely no credentials.
Jake is a connoisseur of Asian cinema and films that remind you what it means to be human. Matt prefers movies about deeply disturbed people—the kind that leave you wanting to take a long, scalding shower. And Anthony? He loves "basic" movies, the kind that make you feel like a red-blooded, flag-waving American.
Together, they curate the most eclectic, unpredictable, and undeniably superior film library (which, to this day, has never repeated a director—because we have taste). Each episode, they force-feed you cinematic greatness and then aggressively debate whether the movie was actually worth your time.

FLIGHT RISK (2025) - First Review of 2025 - Making Me Watch Movies
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.
