Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

×Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest is the sleek, stylish spy thriller that basically invented the modern action movie and laid the blueprint for the Mission: Impossible / James Bond franchises. We break down its iconic set pieces, paranoid energy, and why Cary Grant running from a crop duster still rips. This is a 5-minute sample from our full #1 Boy Movie Club episode.

In our episode on Jerry Maguire , we dive into Tom Cruise and Cameron Crowe’s genre-blending masterpiece as both a rom-com and sports drama that dissects the emotional and professional crash out of a self-interested man. Alongside this, we break down the broader arc of Cruise’s career—from 1980s heartthrob to 1990s dramatic powerhouse to post-2000s action icon—and how Jerry Maguire stands at a critical turning point: a film that bridges the emotional vulnerability of his early work with the self-aware myth-making of his later persona.

Kelsi and Trey review Wes Anderson's newest film The Phoenician Scheme and also trace the five distinct eras of Anderson’s career. Anderson’s latest pastel-laced genre experiment is part espionage caper, part theological road movie, and part anti-capitalist fever dream. We break down how this film fits into the “post- Grand Budapest ” phase of his work, explore its sub-narratives and surreal spiritual detours, and celebrate its quietly brilliant three-hander core: Benicio del Toro as the morally compromised war profiteer, Mia Threapleton as his estranged nun-daughter, and Michael Cera as a bug-loving tutor.

Kelsi and Trey react to Tom Cruise's final MI film in 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' plus we rank all eight Mission: Impossible films, from De Palma’s paranoid thriller to McQuarrie’s AI-fighting epics, and trace how the franchise evolved from emotional espionage to Cruise-as-messiah spectacle. We dive deep into each entry’s themes, set pieces, and shifting tone, debating what was gained in stunt-driven mythmaking and what was lost in Ethan's emotional core. Along the way, we probably say “MI3 is underrated” a dozen times and that 'Fallout' is a bit overrated, but this is a fun-subjective list!

Somehow Star Wars Returned! Trey and James Steck dive deep into our personal history with Star Wars—how it shaped our childhoods, our friendships, and how Andor Seasons 1 and 2 reignited our passion. We reflect on the highs, lows, and evolution of the franchise across movies, TV shows, games, and why Tony Gilroy’s Andor redefined what Star Wars could be: smart, political, emotionally rich, and unafraid to explore the slow burn of rebellion and the systems that crush hope. This is Star Wars at its most radical and relevant, and for us, it brought the franchise back to life!

In this special Extra Credits+ episode, we're joined by guests Kira and James to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar . Together, we dive deep into Nolan’s career arc, unpacking how Interstellar stands out as his most spiritual and vulnerable film. Along the way, the group breaks down iconic performances by Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, and Matt Damon, and explores the movie’s big ideas—grief, love, time, and legacy. From real astrophysics like time dilation to theoretical concepts like wormholes, fifth-dimensional beings, and the bootstrap paradox, this episode navigates the emotional and scientific ambition behind one of the boldest blockbusters of the 21st century.

In this critical deep dive, we explore Sinners, the bold, genre-blending vampire-western-horror-musical from director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan. We unpack its ambitious themes of assimilation, artistic legacy, cultural survival, and spiritual freedom—all wrapped inside a chaotic IMAX-sized spectacle. From standout newcomer Miles Caton’s lead performance to the film’s uneven third act and rich but overloaded symbolism, we ask whether Sinners is a flawed masterpiece or a fascinating misfire. Plus, on our Patreon, we’re offering a free bonus episode—a live commentary on Creed, diving into the roots of Coogler and MBJ’s collaboration.

Trey reviews Ryan Coogler’s Sinners: a $100-million genre-bending vampire western horror musical set in 1930s Mississippi. It’s Coogler’s boldest, weirdest, and most ambitious film to date, blending myth, legacy, identity, and the cost of assimilation into a chaotic cinematic experiment. Trey unpacks the film’s anti-genre intentions, its Faustian themes, its wild tonal swings, and the standout performances from Michael B. Jordan and breakout star Miles Caton. Is it a masterpiece? A mess? Both? This is a conflicted breakdown of a movie that might not work...but absolutely demands to be seen.( 00:00 ) Ryan Coogler( 01:26 ) Non-Major Spoiler Review( 02:03 ) What Works( 08:24 ) What Struggles( 12:49 ) The Extra Credits of Sinners( 14:56 ) Final Thoughts The Extra Credits YouTube Channel Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon here How to link Patreon to Spotify and Apple Letterboxd: The Extra Credits TikTok: The Extra Credits Reddit: r/TheExtraCredits Instagram: @theextracredits Twitter: @theextracredits Send requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com…

Kelsi and Trey count down and critically discuss our picks for the 30 best movies of 2024—an unpredictable, wildly entertaining, and emotionally resonant year for cinema. From studio epics like Dune: Part Two and Furiosa , to international gems like La Chimera and I’m Still Here , to genre-benders like Challengers , The Substance , and Red Rooms , we break down what made these films stand out—formally, politically, emotionally, and narratively. We talk auteur swings, star turns, and cinematic risks, and reflect on what these movies reveal about our current moment. Some spoilers involved, but you can enjoy a mostly non-major spoiler discussion!

On the 30th anniversary of David Fincher’s Se7en , we take a deep dive into the legacy of one of the most unsettling and influential thrillers of modern cinema. We explore the film’s impact on the serial killer genre, Fincher’s signature style and career-defining choices, and how Se7en critiques the very systems—and audiences—that consume stories of violence and moral decay. We also get into the unforgettable performances from Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman who help this very, very mean allegory come to life.

For Toy Story's 30th anniversary, we’re diving deep into the film and studio that changed animation forever—but also how Pixar itself evolved from a revolutionary indie disruptor into a corporate franchise machine. We’ll explore Pixar’s early era, where its films tackled bold political and existential themes—from A Bug’s Life's working-class rebellion to WALL-E's anti-consumerist dystopia—before shifting, post-Disney acquisition, into a safer, identity-driven storytelling model that trades larger commentaries for more safe formulas. Then, we’ll break down the Toy Story franchise as a whole before going deep on the original masterpiece. We forgot to discuss the evolution of 2D to 3D CGI and how the oncoming AI boom and those two pieces of history connect, but I'm sure we'll do another animated film in the near future!

Parasite might be the smartest movie of the 21st century—so we have a lot to say about it in this 3+ hour discussion!

Kelsi and Trey dive deep into the history of Batman on screen , ranking every live-action portrayal of the Dark Knight and debating what each version got right (or horribly wrong). And then we get to our major conversation on Matt Reeves’ The Batman and Robert Pattinson’s fragile, gothic detective take on the character. We’ll break down the noir-infused world Reeves has built, why Pattinson’s emotionally stunted Bruce Wayne is the most fascinating interpretation yet, and how this film redefines Gotham’s rogues gallery with Paul Dano’s terrifying Riddler, Colin Farrell’s scene-stealing Penguin, and Zoë Kravitz’s mesmerizing, scene-stealing Selina Kyle.

Kelsi and Trey dive into Steven Soderbergh’s thrilling 2025 double feature, Black Bag and Presence —two wildly different films that both explore trust, surveillance, and relationships. Black Bag is a sexy, razor-sharp spy thriller where Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett play elite MI6 agents—and longtime spouses—caught in a web of secrets, betrayals, and two unforgettable dinner parties. Meanwhile, Presence is a meticulously crafted, first-person ghost story that strips the haunted house genre down to its bones, using surveillance-like filmmaking to expose the fractures in a grieving family.
