Welcome to Facing Off: a podcast where we take two movies we find to be similar and we compare, contrast, and rate them. We believe that movies should be talked about and the best way to judge a movie is by comparing it to something similar. We will talk about good v. bad movies, great v. good movies, or two equally good similar movies from every genre. Hosted by Nick, Layla, and Gabe.

Dune (Part 1) v. Star Wars (Episode IV-A New Hope)
You must not fear, fear is the mind killer. So we're back with a mega sci-fi blockbuster episode. We stepped off our sandworms and pocketed our lightsabers to discuss two world-building epic first films in big franchise series both based to a certain degree on Frank Herbert's hit novel. We're facing "Dune" (2021) off against the iconic "Star Wars" (1977). Which protagonist yells more? Which main planet has more sand? Spice visions or The Force? Who's more manipulative: the Bene Gesserit or the Jedi? Who kills henchmen better: the Harkonnen's or Darth Vader? All these questions and more are asked and answered as we break these movies down to declare a winner in our hearts.

Smile v. It Follows
Smile because It's coming right at you! This horror episode gets deep into the trenches of teenage STD spreading and trauma girlies. We brought horror-expert Nicky D back on to compare two psychological, supernatural horror movies that serve as allegories for societal issues. We faced the creepy 2022 hit "Smile" off against the cult classic 2014 indie film "It Follows". As we try not to look into those demonic eyes, we pick which movie survives. (Episode contains spoilers)
