John Wick 4's 169-minute run time could be seen as a betrayal of its lean and mean origins or a welcome embrace of its byzantine mythology and increasingly ambitious action set pieces. And maybe a little of both.

25 years ago, the Coen Brothers followed up their Oscar-winning "Fargo" with a stoned shaggy dog riff on film noir. It bombed at the box office only to become a beloved cult film. Also like their best, everything matters.

It takes a star of great confidence to play opposite the electrifying Jonathan Majors. And while CREED III's Michael B. Jordan is up to the challenge of his rival, can the same be said about the movie itself?

Then they introduce some of the Rd. 1 matchups in Filmspotting Madness 2023: Best of the 1960s (01:06:34) and announce the lineup for the year's first Filmspotting Marathon - Sight & Sound Top 100 Blind Spots (01:30:33) - before making their choices for Best Director and Best Picture (01:36:49).

Coming on the heels of the era-defining “The Godfather” in ’72, the 1973 movie year had a lot to live up to. But if Adam and Josh’s Top 5 of 1973 (02:56) is any indication, it more than delivered. Featuring early-career masterpieces from Terrence Malick, Martin Scorsese and, yes, George Lucas, plus the decade’s most terrifying horror film, influential films from abroad, and so much more, ’73 not only met the standard set a year earlier, but makes a claim as one of the best of the decade. Also on the show, the return of Filmspotting Madness (47:53), which this year has us determining the best film of the ’60s. Then, Adam and Josh share Best of ’73 poll results (01:08:14), before returning to the Top 5 for their final two picks (01:14:18). Time codes may not be precise due to dynamically-inserted ads.

With Steven Soderbergh's sly, sexy, and exuberant contribution to the musical genre coming to a close with the release of the third and, presumably, final film in the Magic Mike trilogy, Adam and Josh see the series off with the Top 5 Magic-est Mike Moments (01:15), a celebration of the films' many memorable dance sequences. Plus Josh's review of the new "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" (21:47), and Adam's thoughts on "The Integrity of Joseph Chambers (28:15)," the latest from former Brick nominee Robert Machoian ("The Killing of Two Lovers"). They also play some Massacre Theatre (39:50) and weigh in on "Magic Mike's Last Dance" (45:57) – with one considering it a worthy, if lightweight, follow-up to 2015's XXL; the other declaring it quite possibly the worst film Soderbergh has ever made – before sharing their final two Magic-est Mike Moments (59:26).

After a string of lush, star-filled productions in the ‘50s, Alfred Hitchcock went small(er) and sinister with Psycho, which went on to become Hitchcock's best-known film and one of the most influential films of the last sixty years. For this Sacred Cow deep dive (02:04)—reviewed in anticipation of the upcoming Best of the '60s edition of Filmspotting Madness—Filmspotting considers a picture that remains unnerving and full of mystery even after a half-century of critical analysis. Plus, listeners weigh in on M. Night Shyamalan's hit-and-miss career (52:33), and Adam and Josh turn in their Oscars homework (1:02:08) with thoughts on ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, Andrea Riseborough in TO LESLIE, and Best Documentary Feature nominee NAVALNY. Time codes may not be precise due to dynamically-inserted ads.
