#050: Labyrinth vs NeverEnding Story [50th BATTLE w/Dani Bee]

2024-11-2201:43:07

Wow! Film Fights Podcast hits its 50th Battle (not episode), and what better way to celebrate this occasion but with two 80s childhood fantasy movies! Interestingly enough, BOTH films feature not only a youth interacting with a storybook world (directly or indirectly) but also have parent(s) that are introduced in the opening and to never be seen or heard from again. Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon capture this moment with a very special guest - the very funny (and fellow fil...

BONUS! Battle of the Chainsaws! Texas Chainsaw Massacre [Franchise Frenzy]

2024-10-3101:54:07

Happy Halloween Lovely SPOOKtators! Here's a bonus episode, ripped from the archives and gutted for your amusement! Last year, Kon 'n Jon recorded this Film Fights Franchise Frenzy, exploring the first 4 original Texas Chainsaw movies just before their lives got turned upside down (which resulted in the show taking a break). But here it is, unearthed for the world to enjoy! Leatherface? I hardly know her face... Yea, that was reaching for straw. Straw from ...

#049: Hounds vs Sounds [Are You Afraid of the Dark pt.1]

Boo-urns! It's that spooOOky time of the year again, Lovely SHRIEKtators! And your resident Film FRIGHTERS, KonDEAD & Jon(OH N)o, are here to muck up your precious childhood! But in all seriousness, Are You Afraid of the Dark is a classic anthology horror series that found itself targeted at kids but appealing to all ages.

#048: Deep Impact vs Armageddon [Summer '98 Blockbuster World Enders]

2024-09-1801:32:03

We do want to close our eyes. We do want to fall asleep, 'cuz we don't miss anything really - we're pretty sharp. Except when it comes to judgement calls on what movies to watch! This time, we decided to visit a (not at all) innocent time when film studios respected each other and didn't try to release the exact same premise to a movie mere months apart in order to milk a seasonal trend. It's the end of the world as we knew it, and we were actually pretty okay with it...

Singlie #15: TMNT III (Turtles In Time?)

2024-09-0447:35

If you thought we were going to discuss the TMNT original movies without touching on the Godfather III of this conclusion, you are SO wrong! From bad animatronics and bizarre plotting to questionable character motivation and nonstop quipping, this was (at the time) the proverbial nail in the TMNT film coffin. Uniquely, Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon each saw this movie when it originally released in the theater in 1993 (7 years before they each met in IRL real life). They only wat...

#047: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs Secret of the Ooze [TMNT Battle]

2024-08-0801:39:15

COWABUNGA! Yo bro, it's time for Turtle Power in the studio apartment studio as your resident Film Fighters discuss these nostalgia-tinted ninja classics. Before CGI, there was Jim Henson - a true hero in a half shell! And also a "sometimes" working animatronic giant talking rat.In all seriousness, thank you to all our supporters and listeners during our (way too long) hiatus. We hear your words of kindness and battle ideas. We are working hard to keep this fight...

#046: Independence Day vs. National Treasure [July 4th Battle]

2024-07-1001:21:09

Who will win? Nick Cage's hairpiece? Or Will Smith's cigar? Find out on this very special and exciting episode of FILM FIGHTS!In all seriousness, thank you to all our supporters and listeners during our (way too long) hiatus. We hear your words of ki...

FF LIVE: Scream vs I Know What You Did Last Summer

2023-10-2755:12

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.

Singlie #14: Renfield

2023-05-2454:25

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.

#045: Interview With the Vampire vs Bram Stoker's Dracula

2023-05-1701:31:34

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.

Singlie #13: Evil Dead Rise

2023-05-1001:00:40

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™.

#044: Battle of the Deadites (Evil Dead/Army of Darkness) [Franchise Frenzy]

2023-04-2601:49:30

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 n...

#043: Sonic the Hedgehog vs The Super Mario Bros. Movie

2023-04-1301:31:56

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!

Mini #3: Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog [Video Games]

2023-04-0601:06:02

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...

Singlie #12: Exit Wounds

2023-03-2950:55

What's the matter, Sport? All that Seagalin' making you THIRSTY! Then EXIT WOUNDS the Gift Shop and pick up a sweet refreshing DMX Energy Drink! "The drink that makes you THIRSTIER!"Drink it all in, LOVELY SPECTATORS - we're finishing up our SEAGAL SLEAZE with this 2001 NOTbuster Exit Wounds! Don't bother asking for SECONDS, because this movie feels like HOURS! Sorry about the all-caps and that weird curveball metaphor at the end there. DMX is rubbing off o...

#042: Hard to Kill vs Under Siege [Seagal Sleeze]

2023-03-2201:34:09

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.

Singlie #11: The Sandlot

2023-03-1539:20

Movies get remembered. Classics never die! After our last battle of Baseball Kids Movies, we conclude our outing with a true legend, The Sandlot! Lifeguards hooked up with children, Dogs were eating people, and Smalls was killing EVERYONE! Unless you've seen this movie, this description sounds insane - and honestly, even if you have seen this movie, yea this description is bonkers! Bonus fact: While this is Jono's millionth time watching this week's Singlie...

#041: Rookie of the Year vs Angels In the Outfield [Baseball Kids]

2023-03-0801:34:41

Batter up! And we're talking about cake batter! Yep. That's about as involved in baseball as we get here at Film Fights, so we are enlisting the help of a good friend, Jamie Gravitt, to join us for this special Baseball Kids Movies Battle! Which movie hits the home run and goes to the Stanley Bowl? One of them, probably! Also, are these movies allegories for Christian propaganda!? No.Tangents include: Sports Bar Kids Movie, Nolan Ryan Mounds Bar...
