"Is It Streaming" is a movie podcast for anyone who loves cinema, hosted by filmmakers Kevin Rossi, Silvia Graziano, and John Mosetich. Each episode they pick a movie from the endless queue and decide if it's a hidden gem, a waste of time or worth adding to your watchlist. Drawing from their experience behind the camera and their passion for film, the hosts explore performances, story choices, themes, and what makes movies resonate. Surprise guests drop in from time to time to shake things up. It's honest conversation about movies—what works, what doesn't, and why we keep coming back for more.
Kevin, Silvia, and John return for Part 2 of their deep dive into 1917, breaking down the film's breathtaking second half as the stakes grow higher and every step feels more dangerous than the last. The crew explores the emotional impact of the journey, Roger Deakins' stunning cinematography, Sam Mendes' remarkable direction, and why the film's immersive storytelling continues to set the standard for modern war movies.
Is 1917 simply a technical masterpiece, or is it one of the most powerful stories ever told about courage, sacrifice, and the human cost of war? And when the mission finally ends... what stays with you the most?

1917 - Part 1
What if one message could save 1,600 lives?
Kevin, Silvia, and John march into 1917, Sam Mendes' breathtaking World War I epic that immerses audiences in one of the most ambitious cinematic experiences ever created. When two young British soldiers are tasked with crossing enemy territory to deliver a message that could stop a doomed offensive, every step forward becomes a race against time through the horrors of war.
Led by powerful performances from George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman, and brought to life through the masterful cinematography of Roger Deakins, the film's seamless "one-shot" illusion places you beside the soldiers as they navigate abandoned trenches, shattered villages, and relentless danger without ever giving you a chance to catch your breath.
From quiet moments of humanity to heart-pounding encounters on the battlefield, 1917 asks a profound question: what would you risk to save people you'll never meet?
Is it a technical masterpiece, an intimate survival story, or one of the greatest war films ever made? And when every second counts... how far would you go to complete the mission?

After Hours
What if one ordinary night out became a nightmare you couldn't wake up from?
Kevin, Silvia, and John take a late-night trip through After Hours, Martin Scorsese’s wildly unpredictable black comedy about a man who just can't seem to make it home. When mild-mannered word processor Paul Hackett heads downtown for what he thinks will be a simple date, a series of bizarre encounters, misunderstandings, and increasingly absurd disasters send him spiraling through the streets of SoHo on the longest night of his life.
Featuring a wonderfully anxious performance from Griffin Dunne and a memorable cast of eccentric characters, the film transforms New York City into a surreal labyrinth where every solution creates a new problem and every turn leads to even stranger circumstances.
From stolen keys and punk clubs to angry mobs and missed opportunities, After Hours asks a deceptively simple question: how far can a person be pushed before they completely lose control?
Is it a dark comedy, a Kafkaesque nightmare, or Martin Scorsese's funniest film? And when the sun finally rises... was it all just bad luck, or was Paul exactly where he was meant to be?

A League of Their Own w/ Diana Porter
What if the biggest challenge wasn't winning the game — but proving you belonged on the field at all?
Kevin, Silvia, and John step up to the plate with A League of Their Own, Penny Marshall’s beloved sports comedy-drama that celebrates the women who kept baseball alive during World War II. When a new professional league is formed as America's star players head overseas, a group of talented women find themselves making history while navigating fierce competition, family tensions, and a country that isn't quite sure what to make of them.
Led by unforgettable performances from Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell, and a scene-stealing Tom Hanks, the film blends comedy, heart, and sports movie thrills into one of the most enduring crowd-pleasers of the 1990s.
From packed ballparks to dugout rivalries, A League of Their Own asks a timeless question: what happens when people are finally given the chance to show what they're capable of?
Is it a baseball movie, a story about sisterhood, or a celebration of the trailblazers who changed the game forever? And when the crowd starts cheering... who gets to write the history books?

Erin Brokovich
What if the real danger in your town wasn't the poisoned water — but the people who knew?Kevin, Silvia, and John dig into Erin Brockovich, Soderbergh's true-story David-and-Goliath drama about a single mother who takes on a billion-dollar utility company over contaminated groundwater. Powered by Julia Roberts' Oscar-winning performance, the film explores justice earned not in courtrooms, but door to door — one family at a time. It asks a pointed question: how much is a human life worth when it shows up on a balance sheet?

Man on Fire (2004) Part 2
What happens when revenge stops being a mission — and becomes the only thing keeping a man alive?
Kevin, Silvia, and John return to Man on Fire for Part 2 of their breakdown, diving headfirst into the film’s explosive second half as Denzel Washington’s John Creasy transforms from shattered bodyguard into unstoppable force of reckoning. With every lead pulling him deeper into the corruption and brutality hiding beneath Mexico City, Creasy’s warpath becomes as tragic as it is terrifying.
The crew unpacks Tony Scott’s feverish filmmaking style — the hyper-edited chaos, burning color palettes, and emotional intensity that make the violence feel both operatic and deeply personal. They also explore why the relationship between Creasy and Pita remains the emotional core of the film long after the bullets start flying.
From brutal interrogations to heartbreaking sacrifices, Man on Fire asks a devastating question: is revenge ever enough to heal the damage left behind — or does it consume everything in its path?
Is Creasy a hero, a martyr, or simply a man trying to buy back his soul one act of violence at a time? And when the fire finally burns out… what’s left standing in the ashes?

Man on Fire (2004) Part 1
What if redemption didn’t come quietly — but in a blaze of fire?
Kevin, Silvia, and John dive into Man on Fire, Tony Scott’s visceral revenge thriller that turns grief into something explosive. When a burned-out ex-CIA operative takes a job protecting a young girl in Mexico City, he finds an unexpected reason to live — until a brutal kidnapping shatters everything and unleashes a relentless path of vengeance.
Driven by a towering performance from Denzel Washington and the heartbreaking innocence of Dakota Fanning, the film is equal parts emotional gut punch and stylized fury. Scott’s kinetic direction — with its saturated colors, rapid cuts, and fractured visuals — pulls you inside a man unraveling in real time.
From whispered prayers to ruthless interrogations, Man on Fire asks a searing question: can a man who’s lost his soul ever truly find it again — or only avenge it?
Is it a story about justice, revenge, or the desperate need for connection in a broken world? And when there’s nothing left to lose… how far would you go to make it right?

Take Shelter
What if the storm wasn’t outside your home — but building inside your mind?
Kevin, Silvia, and John dig into Take Shelter, Jeff Nichols’ slow-burning psychological thriller that blurs the line between prophecy and paranoia. When a quiet Ohio husband and father begins experiencing apocalyptic visions, his life starts to unravel — threatening his marriage, his sanity, and the fragile sense of security he’s built for his family.
Led by a haunting performance from Michael Shannon and grounded by Jessica Chastain, the film explores fear in its most intimate form — not just fear of the unknown, but fear of being wrong… or worse, being right.
From looming storm clouds to suffocating silence at the dinner table, Take Shelter asks a chilling question: when your instincts tell you something is coming, do you prepare for the worst — or trust that it’s all in your head?
Is it a story about mental illness, a modern-day prophecy, or a meditation on control in an uncontrollable world? And when the sky finally darkens… would you run, or stand your ground?

Sinners - Part 2
What if the song never really stopped… and neither did the nightmare?
Kevin, Silvia, and John return to Sinners to break down the film’s explosive second half — where the music swells, the tension tightens, and the horror fully takes hold.
The juke joint is alive, but something deeper has sunk its teeth in. As the night spirals, loyalties are tested, truths come to light, and that haunting melody refuses to let anyone go. What started as a search for redemption turns into a fight for survival, as the line between salvation and damnation blurs beyond recognition.
From its chilling supernatural turns to its powerful commentary on legacy, identity, and the cost of freedom, the back half of Sinners hits harder, darker, and louder.
Does the music save them… or seal their fate?

Sinners - Part 1
What if the most dangerous thing in the Mississippi Delta wasn't the KKK — it was the song you couldn't stop hearing?
Kevin, Silvia, and John dig into Sinners, Ryan Coogler's genre-defying fever dream that wraps a supernatural horror story inside a stunning celebration of Black music, community, and survival in the Jim Crow South.
Twin brothers with blood on their hands come home looking for redemption and open a juke joint that crackles with life, soul, and something the locals can't quite name. Then a stranger arrives with a smile too wide and a melody that doesn't stop — and the night takes a very dark turn.
Part monster movie, part cultural love letter, part blues elegy — Sinners asks whether the music that sets you free can also be the thing that destroys you.
