  • No Time for Notes: Interstellar, Nolan Worship, and Sibling Commentary | Better Late than Blockbuster
    Jan 23 2026

    In this episode of Better Late than Blockbuster, we quickly forget how to podcast like normal people. Dana finally admits that it took her nearly a decade to watch Interstellar, and what starts as a planned episode, turns into a live reaction to the movie. We spiral into a pseudo watch-along filled with awe, sibling debate, emotional damage, and unsolicited praise for Christopher Nolan. Because not only is it possible, it's necessary.

  • Mission Impossible: This Was Supposed to Self-Destruct Before We Watched It | Better Late Than Blockbuster
    Jan 16 2026

    In this episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we catch up to Mission Impossible. A film it took one of us 30 years to see, and the other only (ahem)... 29. We talk why it's ok for spy movies to be about style over substance, remember how the internet apparently worked in 1996, and of course, Tom Cruise magic. I

    t took decades, multiple sequels, and zero self-destructing messages, but we finally accepted the mission.

    You know what they say: better late than blockbuster.

  • Goodfellas: Two People, Zero Prior Viewings | Better Late Than Blockbuster
    Jan 9 2026

    In this episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we finally tackle Goodfellas. Yes, somehow neither of us had seen it.

    We talk first-time reactions, realizing how much pop culture has been borrowing from this movie for decades, and how Scorsese changed mob movies (scratch that, movies) forever with this flick. Along the way, we also discover this marks our second straight episode featuring a surprise Samuel L. Jackson appearance. We swear we're not planning this. In case you couldn't already tell.

    Two first watches. One iconic film. And a growing concern about our cinematic credibility.

  • Heat: We Get the Hype Now | Better Late Than Blockbuster
    Dec 5 2025

    We finally watched Heat...and now we understand why film people get insufferable about it. So naturally, this episode is us becoming those people. Perfect casting, iconic diner tension, and a level of rewatchability that might say concerning things about us. Get ready for terrible Pacino impersonations, revisiting the 1995 Oscars, and for our across the table conversation that will no doubt be just as iconic as the one in this movie. Welcome to our villain era.

  • No Country for Old Men: No Score? No Problem! | Better Late Than Blockbuster
    Nov 28 2025

    Welcome to our most uplifting episode yet, the one were we talk about fate, violence, despair, and existential dread! In this installment of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we discuss No Country for Old Men, a movie so tense it feels like cardio. We talk perfect movie length, immaculate tension, and the bold decision to let silence do most of the talking (weirdly, Evan's ok with it). Plus, Dana can't stop thinking this is a secret Frankenstein movie, and we both unpack why drinking someone else's milk is the scariest thing on screen.

  • Se7en: What's in the Box...? (Our Regret for Not Seeing It Sooner) | Better Late Than Blockbuster
    Nov 21 2025

    In the second ever episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we finally tackle David Fincher's Se7en, only three decades after the rest of the world. One of us went in as blind as Detective Mills on his first day, and the other couldn't stop looking over their shoulder to see how the other was reacting to every incredible scene. We unpack the film's atmosphere, its iconic ending, and why the movie is still a masterpiece.

  • The Dark Knight: Why So Late?
    Nov 6 2025

    One of us had never seen The Dark Knight...until now. In the very first episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we dive headfirst into Gotham to see if Christopher Nolan's 2008 superhero epic still holds up. Spoiler alert: it absolutely does. From Heath Ledger's legendary performance to the chaos-fueled philosophy that makes this more than "just a Batman movie," we unpack why this film changed the genre forever.

    Expect plenty of gushing of Nolan's direction, unnecessary tangents on Oppenheimer (we can't help ourselves), and some light sibling roasting about how someone managed to miss this cultural moment for over a decade.

    Because if you're going to start late...you might as well start with a masterpiece.

  • Jurassic Park: First Watch Shame & Fossil Obsession | Better Late Than Blockbuster
    Jan 2 2026

    There's "late to the party," and then there's this. In this episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we finally address the most embarrassing confession yet: Dana had never seen Jurassic Park. Ever. Not even once.

    Meanwhile, Evan takes us on a journey of how fossils shaped his personality, takes us through a mini tour of his rock collection, and talks about how much he wants a pet dinosaur even after watching this movie.

    We talk favorite dinosaurs, first-watch shock, why this movie still holds up, and how Jurassic Park manages to be thrilling, funny, and awe-inspiring all at once.

    One overdue watch. One lifelong obsession. Life, uh...finds a way.
