This summer, NYT released a Critics and Readers list of the greatest movies of the 21st century. Both are excellent lists but have some key omissions that didn’t make the cut for either.

Check out this third part to the series (movies 21-30) wherever you get your podcasts

Marty is a man that gets close to masterpiece, if not to a masterpiece, every time out. This is no different.

The de-aging stuff is rough. I think Pacino and Stephen Graham carry the film when they’re on screen and when they’re not, my interest dips.

Andy Robertson @trinoculus.bsky.social · 18h

I wanted to like it much more than I did. The deepfake de-aging was distracting, esp. for a film clocking in at 3.5 hours. One of the few Scorsese films I haven’t watched more than once.

100% S-tier dad movie

Trent Gorham @timoneous.bsky.social · 19h

Timeless enough that it could air in a 5-hour Saturday afternoon block on TNT right next to Shawshank. A “dad movie” through and through.

Funny People is vastly underrated in his catalog. Punch Drunk to Funny People to Gems shows he can bring it when needed.

I think it's his best work BY FAR. Not that his other stuff isn't funny (some of it is!), but he's never struck me as someone who wanted to stretch for a part before. I just assumed after "Funny People" he would never do anything challenging like this, glad I was wrong.

I think by the time this film came out, Sandler had lost the trust of the general audience. The last film I saw from him was 'HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA' and that was because my daughter was the right age for it.

Uncut Gems (2019)

How do we feel about this Safdie Bros. film with an intense Adam Sandler performance at the center?

Being an A24 member has so many ridiculously cool perks.

Like this sick tie in to #TheSmashingMachine

As a lover of mma and PrideFC when it existed, this feels made just for me.

Bas Rutten looking like a badass in it, too!

Excitement over an A24 package arriving in the mail

More excitement when I win $24 from a scratch off

Ultimate excitement when I finally purchased the Midsommar Director’s Cut

The Second Time Around (2025)

A Short Film Review

I had the chance to check out this incredible short film by director Jack Howard. A fantasy love story that time can’t contain.

Caroline Goodall & Hannah Onslow deliver acting performances that will leave you speechless.
