SHOWNOTES: Authority is not given to us to deny The Return of the King! Jim from Film Rage joins us for Part 2 of our episode on the esteemed Lord of the Rings Trilogy, as we cover the final movie. While this conclusion to arguably the greatest film trilogy of all time was notorious for having "too many endings", it is remembered as the momentous culmination of Peter Jackson's direction, the cast's dedication, and the crew's perseverance to the immense task of adapting Tolkien's celebrated novel in the span of 3 years. We also briefly look at the Hobbit film trilogy and other attempts to adapt The Lord of the Rings. Stay tuned for our next episode on Rocky V and our Season Finale on Salò!

SHOWNOTES: On our latest Collaboration Special with Collateral Gaming, we are joined by Craig from Reading Between the Reels to talk Simon West's 2001 film adaptation of Tomb Raider, starring Angelina Jolie! Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is often overlooked in discussions about attempts to adapt video games in cinema, but looking back, it was a memorable action movie in its own right with a vivid performance by its female lead, and definitely worth an analysis today. So, grab your dual pistols and come chill with us as we review the first cinematic portrayal of gaming icon Lara Croft, and stay tuned for Bad Movie December—we'll be covering The ButterCream Gang 2 and Neil Breen's Cade: The Tortured Crossing!

SHOWNOTES: On the latest episode of Collateral Cinema, Ash and Beau are swinging into a superhero film of 2012 that we can't help but find fascinating: The Amazing Spider-Man, starring Andrew Garfield! While less beloved than other live action incarnations of the character, this version of Peter Parker lives on in our brains, as well as this movie—which came out during a time when studios felt every comic book movie had to be dark and grounded, and makes for some interesting results with the wall-crawler. So, stick around for this review, and stay tuned for our upcoming collaboration with Collateral Gaming on Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)!

Director: Joe Chappelle
Producer: Paul Freeman
Writer: Daniel Farrands
Stars: Donald Pleasence, Paul Stephen Rudd, Marianne Hagan, Mitch Ryan
Release date: September 29, 1995
SHOWNOTES: It's that time again on Collateral Cinema; we are diving into yet another Halloween movie featuring everyone's favorite Haddonfield serial killer for the titular holiday. This year, it's the finale of the so-called "Cult of Thorn Trilogy"—Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers! The sixth installment of the franchise is the first filmed and set in the 90s, and boy does it show. This entry was panned by audiences and considered by many to be one of the worst Halloween sequels ever, but is it at least more entertaining than the borefest that was part 5 (which we covered last season)? Find out now, and stay tuned for the Post-Halloween Edition of Collateral Cinema: Director's Cut! where we'll be reviewing the new Toxic Avenger film!

SHOWNOTES: On the Season 9 Premiere of Collateral Cinema, we are joined by Stew from the Stew World Order podcast to talk Peter Jackson's 1992 zombie comedy splatter film Dead Alive, a.k.a.

Featured TV Review: Space Ghost Coast to Coast [Wikipedia] [IMDb] – Season 1
PROMO: Movie Wars (@MovieWarsPod)
SPECIAL GUEST: Robbie Sherman, Conversations with Robbie Sherman (@convoswrob.bsky.social)
SHOWNOTES: Welcome back, stupid listeners! Are you comfortable? Are you getting enough oxygen? Collateral Cinema: Director's Cut! is back with some more Adult Swim content, and this time we are joined by our friend Robbie Sherman to review the first season of Space Ghost Coast to Coast! With the passing of legend George Lowe earlier this year, and on the occasion of the anniversary of C. Martin Crocker's death (we actually recorded this on the day), we thought it was appropriate to cover this iconic adult animated series/late night talk show parody that kicked off what would become Adult Swim (and arguably Cartoon Network as we know it), with its surrealist, non-sequitur humor that influenced so many of us growing up. So, chill with us on this special Director's Cut! episode and stay tuned for Season Nine of Collateral Cinema! You'll watch anything! Go ahead, change the channel. You'll be back!

SPECIAL GUEST: Jason Stein, Dads from the Crypt (@CryptDads)
SHOWNOTES: On our latest #Miikeversary Special, we are joined by returning guest Jason from Dads from the Crypt, as we talk about one of Takashi Miike's earlier works: Fudoh: The New Generation. Originally intended as a direct-to-video adaptation of an unfinished manga series, the producers of Fudoh were so impressed by the film that they insisted it premiere in theaters in 1996, and it's easy to see why with Miike's penchant for Yakuza stories, as well as his talent for cinematography and adapting wacky, edgy plots so far out they could only come from a manga. So, listen now, and stay tuned for more post-season content, as well as Season Nine of Collateral Cinema in October!

SHOWNOTES: Collateral Cinema is back with yet another At the Movies review; within a week of the debut of the DCU with Superman, we also got the latest MCU installment: The Fantastic Four: First Steps! This entry is Marvel Studios' long-awaited take on Marvel's First Family, set in the 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic Earth-828, apart from the mainline MCU timeline. We found a lot of parallels between both July 2025 superhero movies and talk at length about those, as well as compare the new Fantastic Four film to previous attempts. Catch all of our spoiler-free thoughts on the new episode, and stay tuned for more post-season content, including more At the Movies reviews, as well as Season Nine in October!
