Keanu Reeves as a cynical demon hunter with nothing left to live for? Sign us up please, because this weird DC Comics adaptation has no right to work as well as it does, even 20+ years later. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Can you handle the truth? We sure hope so, because we're kicking off season 4 with a classic from Rob Reiner, A Few Good Men. Getting Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson to deliver lines from Aaron Sorkin makes for one heck of a court room drama, that's for sure! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Everything is awesome when you're part of a podcast team that watches and talks about movies, like The LEGO Movie from 2014! And this week we're also ranking all 11 movies we watched this season! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Giant blue appendages, latex suits, and a whole lot of slow mo action scenes, must be a Zack Snyder film. Come join us as we dive into yet another adaptation of Alan Moore's work that he staunchly hates with a fiery passion in Watchmen from 2009! And it's Chris's first time seeing the movie too! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Travel back to 2022, when Dan Trachtenberg breathed new life into the Predator franchise with a prequel film set in the 1700s with the titular Predator facing off against a Camanche warrior, portrayed by Amber Midthunder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week the Shuffler gave us The Godfather Part 2, and much like the first film, Chris and Thomas had never seen it before. And they're not exactly sure why this is franchise is on the pedestal it is. Joe's still a fan, despite not knowing how to say Francis Ford Coppola's name. Or Al Pacino's. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's nearly Halloween, which means it's time for supernatural movies! This week the Shuffler gave us ParaNorman from Chris's collection! And Thomas and Joe hadn't seen it before! This kid's quasi-zombie film is definitely with adding to the collection. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Cats and dogs living together. Mass hysteria! This week we're shuffling on back to 1984 for the first Ghostbusters, and Patrick is back to riff on why this movie is a classic! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This time around the Shuffler we're diving into Joe's collection for There Will Be Blood from Paul Thomas Anderson starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano. For Thomas and Chris this is their first viewing. Will they both love it, or will opinions differ? Let us know you think of the film below! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We have a particular set of podcasting skills. Skills acquired over a few years of making podcasts together. Skills that make us a minor annoyance and/or pleasure to listen to. Anyway, let us know what you think of Taken below! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Warp back to 2001 to one of the most famous, or infamous, portrayals of intellectual disabilities Hollywood has produced starring Sean Penn, Dakota Fanning, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Does this early 2000s film still hold water? Or were the critics right to thrash it back in the day? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Shuffler has given the crew A Quiet Place from 2018. Does this John Krasinski helmed film stand up as a classic? Let us know below. And for real, how did this movie lose to Bohemian Rhapsody for Sound Editing? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We're kicking off season 3 with the 2019 hit Pokemon: Detective Pikachu starting Ryan Reynolds and Justice Smith. And two of our three Shuffler hosts hadn't yet seen it either! Does it capture the nostalgia, or is this another game adaptation best ignored? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Turn back the clock to 2019, COVID hasn't happened yet, and Rian Johnson just put out one of the best performing "whodunit?" mysteries of the modern Hollywood era. A stellar ensemble, clever writing, and a great character in Daniel Crag's Benoit Blanc make this is a fan favorite that easily earned it's sequels. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Batman Begins didn't start the comic book movie wave, but it certainly elevated it to new heights thanks to director Christopher Nolan and a star-studded cast behind Christan Bale as the Caped Crusader. But does it hold up to today's superhero fare 20 years later? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We're traveling 21 years to the past to revisit the first Hellboy film from Guillermo del Toro starring Ron Perlman as the horned hero, Hellboy. Does it hold up as well as our hosts remember or has two+ decades of time dimmed its luster? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Shuffler is taking us back to 2009 for Push, starring Chris Evans, with a fun little sci-fi/superpower movie set in Hong Kong. Does this old indie-ish movie hold up to the test of time, or is it best left forgotten? Will Discord let us actually get through a recording before it crashes? Tune in to find out the answer to both! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
28 Years Later is right around the corner, and this week the Shuffler gave us 28 Days Later, the original film in the series from Danny Boyle. Some may call it fate, we call it a good excuse to watch a zombie classic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Shuffler is sending us all the back to November 2006, when Casino Royale kick started a whole new era of James Bond films starring Daniel Craig. Did they deal themselves a royale flush with this one? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Cue the Randy Newman, we're going back to 2010 for the animated classic, Toy Story 3. We're talking about the alternate ending, the Pixar/Disney breakup and purchase, the totally different version of Toy Story 3 that never was, and even finding the one degree to Kingpin.
