Adam Analyzes

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at the recent re-release of Titanic. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, this marks the second time this film has been released in 3-D, however this time it sports a brand-new 4K remaster. I decided to take a look at why this one is either loved or hated by the movie going public and also gave my thoughts on why this is actually a good movie.

Have a listen to find out if you should seek out this brand-new edition of a well known favorite (or hated film) and a dive into why it has a fairly divisive audience!!

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I tackled the new Brandon Cronenberg written and directed film, Infinity Pool! Starring Alexander Skarsgard and Mia Goth, this is one wild ride that works as horror, sci-fi, satire & a touch of dark comedy. This also happens to be a film that I simply couldn't turn away from, despite being a more mainstream effort from Brandon Cronenberg.

Have a listen to find out my thoughts on a film that may be a new anarchistic masterpiece or it could simply be a film that is not for you...One thing is for certain, you will likely never forget it if you choose to check it out!!

For this week's Episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at the new release from the Shudder streaming service, Skinamarink! A horror film that is heading to streaming soon, had an exclusive limited engagement in theaters. I discuss the film with its "lo-fi" look and how it makes for a unique viewing experience that is definitely going to divide the audience. Of course I also give my thoughts on the various themes that the film presents to the viewer.

Have a listen to find out what I thought about Skinamarink and if its one that I can fully recommend seeing in theaters or simply waiting for this one to make the jump to streaming on Shudder! 

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes podcast, I took a look at the Netflix exclusive film, The Pale Blue Eye. Directed by Scott Cooper and starring Christian Bale, This thriller focuses on a detective who enlists the help of a young Edgar Allan Poe to solve murders that might have an occult influence. This is also a film that is NOT an Edgar Allan Poe adaptation, however it definitely feels like it could have been a story written by Poe himself!

Have a listen to find out my thoughts on this one that definitely feels like a love letter to the works and legend of Edgar Allan Poe!!

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I take a belated look at the Zach Cregger directed film, Barbarian. A film that has since its original release back in September of 2022, has made its way on many horror movie outlets as on of the best horror films of last year. In addition to having an intensity that rarely lets up, it is also surprisingly funny at times and is firmly rooted in some post-me too era commentary with somehow still feeling like a classic horror film that has an unique structure to tell its story.

Have a listen to find out if this surprise hit managed to surprise me and if this is one that I think you should check out!!

For this week's Episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at one of my favorite James Gunn directed films, Super. A story about an average guy that goes through emotional tragedy and decides to become a superhero to fight crime...with a wrench! It also appears to be James Gunn's most personal movie with the themes of love and loss.

I also decided to take a quick look back at the David Yarovesky directed, Brightburn, which is a James Gunn produced dark take on the Superman origin story & mythos. It also has a surprising link to the first featured film in this episode, Super. Brightburn also features a few recurring actors from James Gunn's previous and current works.

Finally I decided to weigh in on my thoughts with the current state of DC under the co-leadership of James Gunn, why we may need to wait and see his plans & also why the trend in bullying studios into bending to on-line outcries should probably stop.

Have a listen to find out my thoughts on all of the above and hopefully everyone is having a great start to the new year!!

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I close out the focusing on Christmas films with the follow-up to the Christmas Classic, A Christmas Story, with A Christmas Story Christmas. A sequel that is possibly overdue, with the original coming out about 40 years ago (wow)! I also discuss a bit of the history of all of the films featuring the Ralph/Ralphie Parker & my history of A Christmas Story, as well as why I think the original found an audience through the years.

Is this a sequel that you should check out? Is it just a cash in banking on the original? Have a listen to find out the answers and my thoughts on this one that is almost certain to not have the cult following of the original! Also, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays in whatever you celebrate this time of year!!

For this episode of the Adam Analyzed Podcast, I talk about the recently released, Violent Night. Starring David Harbor, this one is about Santa Claus rescuing a very rich family that is being held hostage. This is also a film that is obviously inspired by the fake film from Scrooged, The Night the Reindeer Died. 

Have a listen to find out if this one is a film that is a great gift for the holiday season or if it is one that feels more like a lump of coal!!

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I checked out the recently released, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Directed by James Gunn, in his first MCU outing since his firing from Guardians Vol. 3 and rehiring, as well as starring the Guardians of the Galaxy, this roughly 1 hour special wisely avoids the bizarre nature of some other holiday specials that have been made over the years from popular franchises. 

Have a listen to find out my thoughts on this one to see if it is truly a gift from James Gunn and Marvel or if this is a present you want to regift or return!!

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I checked out the latest Guillermo del Toro film, Pinocchio. A film that is a unique take on a well known story, wound up taking me by complete surprise on the story additions. This one also is a Netflix exclusive and is surprising that they allowed Guillermo del Toro to complete his passion project.

Have a listen to find out why this is a great take on the well known story of Pinocchio, if you should check this one out and which version of the Pinocchio story is my favorite!!
