A Thanksgiving Treat. Adam discusses Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master. Before Scott’s return (it’s next week) and our Ninja Series goes into full effect, Adam wanted to make sure that you had something for the long holiday weekend. Rather than go with a B-Movie treasure, he’s changed it up. Being Thanksgiving and our unchecked appetites it’s only fitting that we discuss one of PTA’s most overstuffed work; The Master. The music in the podcast is from The Master Original Soundtrack by Johnny Greenwood.

Adam’s last dance before Scott’s return.  That last dance is G.I. Joe Retaliation… which holds the key to our next big series. Adam has nothing but love for the two live-action adaptations of G.I. Joe. Yes, they’re ridiculously overheated melodrama. What director Jon M. Chu gets right in the sequel is something very specific. That specificity is what we’re here to talk about today. You’re going to have to listen to the podcast to understand how this episode links to Scott’s return and the series we’re diving into. Opening and Closing our Podcast this week is the Opening Theme Song for GI Joe and Closing Music for GI Joe!!!

Adam is without Scott on this episode where he talks about his Favorite Batman movie, which coincidentally is one of his Favorite Christmas Movies; Batman Returns. The broken-hearted, PTSD, Trauma, Circus Side Show Attraction, Political Tomfoolery that is Tim Burton’s Batman Returns is the perfect movie about for 2020, which was not made in 2020. 28-years later it is still Adam’s favorite Batman movie for all those descriptives above and more. Adam discusses; His favorite Batmen (which will not surprise any of the early devotees to the podcast). The way that all the filmmakers (including Film Bro’s Godhead Nolan) STOLE, and continue to steal, from this film. How the film gives us a Batman who uses Bruce Wayne as his disguise as he fights a trifecta of Villians. Something All-Batmans would later follow in the filmic universe. The Stars cast as villains troupe. Using the Holiday season in Action/Genre films. And the prospect of Keaton coming back as Batman in a future film.

Season 1 Episode 7 – Good Will Hunting (1997) Dan and Marie explore the films which were nominated in the Oscar Best Picture category and which could possibly have won … but didn’t. We take it in turns to pick a film, then discuss whether we think things have changed for that movie now, or if the original decision still stands; was it a deserving winner, or something only of its time? In episode 7, Marie’s chosen one of her favourites again – Good Will Hunting. Will Dan agree with her choice, or will he be telling her “It’s not your fault”? Although it didn’t win the Academy Award for Best Picture, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck did collect the statue for their original screenplay, one which also includes a lot of improvisational performance. It did land Robin Williams an Oscar too. We talk about the Boston accent (love it or hate it?), our favourite scenes from the film (yes, there are fruit involved), and our enduring love and admiration for Stellan Skarsgård.  The big hitter of 1997 though was Titanic – would Dan agree that Good Will Hunting was a more worthy winner? And what about L.A. Confidential? Join us to see whether we can reach any kind of agreement with The Academy or each other.  Subscribe and join us!

While Scott is gone, Adam has decided to play DJ and start-up K-BMP.  Music and Movies!!!   This is a grand experiment.  Adam has been thinking about this for a while now and he figured with anxiety levels through the roof during Election Week what better time to pilot something new.  Not having any agenda this week knowing it would be a rough one, we’ve decided to talk about a few “feel good movies” on the podcast following a track from said movie.  Simple format, brief interludes about the movie.   Here we go! Track Listing: Queen – Princes of the Universe  John Carpenter – Theme from Big Trouble in Little China  John Waite – Change  Meek Mill – Lord Knows / Getting Stronger  Heavy Duty – Face the Music  Click here to find Scott’s Video Reviews Follow Us on Twitter Follow Us on Instagram Follow Us on Letterboxd Subscribe to the Podcast on iTunes

Adam may not have Scott with him right now but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun for Halloween. He’s covering a horror series near and dear to his heart; The Final Destination movies! If there was a series of Horror films that demanded to be discussed on the B-Movie Podcast it would be The Final Destination series. Much like Adam’s other favorite horror series, Resident Evil, The Final Destination movies get no respect. Or at the very least they are to discussed as often as they should be. Five films that are all Treats and hardly any Tricks (though Part 2 almost is a Trick). The films are pure joy for horror fans that love elaborate deaths. They’re the Saw Franchise without the overly involved plots and mythology. It’s like a highlight reel of the greatest kills of all time but in movie form. Basically, they’re a slasher film starring the ultimate slasher: DEATH! Oh, and of course who could forget the indomitable Sir Anthony Todd showing up giving his gravitas for, almost, the entire series. It’s a lot of fun and Adam is ready to get you to your final destination in time for Halloween!!! Our closing music is War’s Why Can’t We Be Friends?

Season 1 Episode 6 – Field of Dreams (1989) Dan and Marie explore the films which were nominated in the Oscar Best Picture category and which could possibly have won … but didn’t. We take it in turns to pick a film, then discuss whether we think things have changed for that movie now, or if the original decision still stands; was it a deserving winner, or something only of its time? In episode 6, Dan has tried to entice me in with my enjoyment of the game of baseball, which I picked up on one of my trips to visit him in Louisville, and has gone for 1989’s Field of Dreams. I don’t think Kevin Costner has ever looked more Kevin Costner. With supporting turns from Burt Lancaster, James Earl Jones, and Ray Liotta it is certainly an icon of its time. But was it better than Driving Miss Daisy? And if yes, was it better than the rest of the field? There may be some unexpected competition this time.
