​This week, Houselights tackles the often forgotten but extremely powerful "Amistad" from Steven Spielberg. 

It was overshadowed by "Titanic" upon its release but how do you feel about this film 24 years later?

Nobody talks about Steven Spielberg's "Always" but of course Houselights is this week. Dreyfus, Goodman, Hunter, how could anything go wrong? Listen as we discuss what does and doesn't work in this firefighting dalliance with the afterlife.

​Does anyone remember Steven Spielberg's "The Sugarland Express"?

We sure didn't. This week we start our sojourn into Spielberg's films but choose one from each decade that not many discuss. This was our first viewing and hear us dissect the film and the early methods of a future master.

​Apocalypse Now took 16 months to shoot, two years to edit, and there are three different versions. This week, Darren, John, and Tristan review the Final Cut and discuss the changes around the three as well as tons of behind-the-scenes information.

Does this film hold up for you?

​The Godfather Part II has arrived. 

Francis Ford Coppola's sequel has been called the greatest movie of all time and the greatest sequel of all time. John and Tristan grew up with it but Darren had never seen it. Listen to hear us talk about old and new perspectives.

​This week, Houselights tackles the often forgotten but critics darling, "The Conversation." Francis Ford Coppola once said this was his favorite film that he made. Two of our hosts had never seen it so listen to hear if this 70s enigma holds up against the 2021 surveillance state.

​One of the highest praised films of all time "The Godfather" graces your feed today.. 70s Francis Ford Coppola is the next round of films for Houselights. Join John, Tristan, and Darren (who's never seen it before) as they discuss this classic.

​It's pronounced Young Frankenstein!

This week we tackle the other Mel Brooks 1974 classic. John and Tristan share nostalgic memories of the black and white gem as well as a lot of behind-the-scenes information.

Where did you first see this film?

​Our Godfather review is coming in two weeks! But in the meantime, we're talking about two movies from 1974 directed by Mel Brooks. First, Blazing Saddles. John has it memorized and Tristan has never seen it before.

We beg you to listen and find out what happens.

​In Houselights final entry into their journey of James Cameron films, they take a deep and honest dive into the highest grossing film of all time: Avatar.

It has become fashionable lately (just like Titanic) to disregard the film's accomplishments but how do you guys feel? Always loved, never liked, grown to love or hate?
