Film Fights

Live from Dallas Comedy Club, famous Film Fighters, Kon 'n Jon, present these two classic 90s slasher films!  Well, one of them more classic than the other.  Which one?  I think the answer is obvious, but tune in to find out WHY!  Special thanks to the wonderful James Prewitt.

This is the end.  The end of Film Fights.  Season 3.   Going out with a BANG, Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon finish this wonderful run of battles with a hot new game show called Back of the Box!  Who will be crowned "You're Winner"?  Tune in to find out!On a rare serious note, we would like to thank the Lovely Spectators for tuning in to the show and all their support.  We will be taking a brief hiatus as we transform from Film Fighters to Life Fighters but will return in time to celebrate Independence Day.  Additionally, there will be more live shows coming up, a video series, and more silliness to come!  Dare we tease... Film Fights Adventures!?

Finishing up our Spring Time Vexed Vamps theme is the Nic Cage Dracula film, Renfield, which focuses on the titular character, played by Nicholas Hoult.  Goofy, gory, and refreshingly different than the current landscape of paint-by-numbers flicks of late, will Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon prove that the entire world really HAS gone mad and that Renfield is GOOD ACTUALLY?  Well, we're not reinventing the wheel here, but it's nice to see Cage be a Dracula.

Spring Time is here!  What a perfect time for Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon to discuss the VERY specific genre of 90s Vampire Romance Horror (the Rom-Vom, if you will).  So take a bite out of these tearjerking lovey dovey horror(ish) films, and you'll be turned into Waah-mpires!  Yup.  That terrible joke was absolutely worth you reading this.  Please listen, rate, share, and subscribe.  Thanks.

It was inevitable that Evil Dead Rise would pop up in your Film Fights feed after that Deadites Franchise Frenzy.  These are the times, Lovely Spectators!  When opinions are white hot, and Intellectual Properties are played safe.  Your resident film fighters are not sure about the critical climate lately, but if Evil Dead has taught us anything, it's to go AGAINST the grain!  With extreme prejudice!  Also, it's the debut of Film Rights™.

What's YOUR Boomstick?  Email us at battles@filmfightspodcast.com!  Spring time is coming and Deadites are in the air.  And your resident Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon are gearing up for a nice trip to an old cabin to revisit the Evil Dead series.  Listen in HORROR as the discussing of The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, and Army of Darkness will have you questioning your sanity!  But seriously - why wasn't the 3rd Evil Dead called "Medievil Dead"?!  Oh, and Jono goes on a nerd-fueled rant about the comic books and the TV series Ash vs Evil Dead.

Last week, Kon 'n Jon took to Game Fighting by discussing Sonic and Mario games, but now that the be-sneakered Blue Blur and the red-capped Jumpman have hit the big screen, it's time to take them to task - the Film Fights way!  

Gotta go fast!  So let's a-go and talk about two of the most recognizable and successful video game franchises ever created!  Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon turn GAME Fighters while discussing some gaming memories and critiques of these once rival mascots.   Stay tuned next week when the Game Fighters turn back into Film Fighters for a special battle of these lovable characters as they take to the silver screen...

Remember when Steven Seagal wasn't an embarrassing, racist, sexist, lying, unfunny, phony baloney jerk with zero self-awareness and even less charisma?  No, seriously, did that ever happen?Tangents include:  Hard to Kill Weekly, Real Life Wife, Fancy Slob, Sardines & Milk, Crook Magazine, Tommy Jones' Two-Face, Under Fridge, Mullets & Bullets,  Honolulu, Steven Stallone, Anvil Steel, and The Birds vs Bee Movie.Intro/Outro and Review the Reviews Theme by Math the Band.

When you're on a roll, you are butter, and butter is hot - just like John Travolta was in 1996!  And yes, that metaphor was super smooth - as smooth as this Summer schlockbuster, Broken Arrow!  Keeping the theme going from last week, Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon finish up Travolta's '96 catalog with a movie that marks the ONLY time in "Siskel and Ebert" history that Roger Ebert convinced Gene Siskel to change his thumb rating from Up to Down!Tangents include: Dawson's Creek, Future Jono the Pickler, Un-un-boxing Videos, Nuclear Sportsball, Air Force Fashion Show, Butterflies, Stock Screams, John Madden Rom-Com, Alternate Ending, Burger Sex, and Tupperware.Intro/Outro Music by Math the Band.

After the success of 1994's Pulp Fiction, John Travolta found an incredible resurgence in carrying big money-farming films.  And lo, 1996 reared its grungy head and produced a trio of Travolta brilliance (citation needed) by way of a wise and charismatic Angel and a down-to-Earth dum dum genius.  Boil up some books and get ready to learn how to eat a lemon, because it's Film Fights Time!Tangents include: Carmen Sandiego, Movie Ages, Etsy Chairs, Smartness, Book Soups 'n Stews, Nostradamus, Alphabet Animals, Buffoon/Baboon, PopeCorn, Subway Waivers, Delicious Brain Surgery, The Gabriel Band, World's Biggest and Flattest, Country Western Lyrics, How to Eat a Lemon, and Jello Jail.Intro/Outro by Math the Band.

Love is in the air, and so are weird high school bets that force (questionably) young men to date (questionably) young women in the year 1999 wherein these fellas learn a valuable lesson about judging a book by its cover while the ladies warm up to being taken advantage of for a few weeks.  Yup!  It's another classic Battle of the Classics, helmed by your favorite no-nothing know-it-alls for Film Fights: Valentine's Edition!  Plus!  A brand new segment - The Good, The Bad, and the FightersTangents include:  Bambi vs Nosferatu, Food and Scary Guy Podcast, Sun With Sunglasses, Softmores, Bananas and Stop Lights, Too Many Books, Bob A.

It's that suspiciously warm winter time again!  And while resident film fighters Kon 'n Jon are cursed/gifted with the gift/curse of No-Snow, the mention of the very niche sub-sub-genre "Snowed-In Horror" brought about the classics - John Carpenter's The Thing and Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.   Which film do YOU think will be victorious?
