Adam Analyzes

Happy Thanksgiving!! For this special episode of the Adam Analyzes podcast, I discuss how we should always be thankful for what we have in life and the 2010 Spencer Susser directed film, Hesher. A film that is heavy on emotion with a theme of loss but realizing what you still have in life is a movie that really feels relevant to what the holiday, Thanksgiving should be about. Hesher is a film that accomplishes this with out being an actual Thanksgiving film!

Have a listen to find out why this somewhat forgotten film is well worth checking out and why with my recent rewatch, feels like it's a film that is relative to what Thanksgiving means to me!! Also forgive me for messing up the original year of release for this one!!

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I checked out the horror film, Smile.  Fresh out of theatres and just arriving on the Paramount+ streaming service, this is an interesting throwback to the cursed people type of horror film from first time feature film director, Parker Finn.

Have a listent to see if Smile is worth checking out & whether it truly made me smile or simply frown...

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I discuss my thoughts on the recient Regal Cinemas, release of the George A. Romero classic, Dawn of the Dead 3-D. While I am not truly discussing the actual movie, this was quite the different experience seeing it not just in 3-D but seeing this classic in theaters for the first time. 

Have a listen to find out my thoughts on this brand new edition of a cinematic classic that is being held for ransom by a money hungry producer was worth the experience or if the dead should have simply been left alone!!

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I tackled the new film in the DC Universe, Black Adam. Starring The Rock in the title role as the famous Anti-Hero, this one is honestly a bit of a mixed bag, however it does provide some insight to where the future of DC on film may go in future films, especially with the stinger scene, which is honestly why I went to see this one!

Have a listen to find out if you should buy what The Rock is selling here or more specifically smell what The Rock is cooking or if you should simply skip it and hope for a better film from DC next time!

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I decided to time-travel all the way back to the ancient year of 1999, with the Rodman Flender directed, Idle Hands. A critical and box-office flop on its original release, this Evil Dead 2 "inspired" film now firmly holds a cult-favortite status amongst horror fans. It also just so happens to have some fairly awesome practical effects!

Have a listen to find out if Idle Hands is worth a rewatch or if your hands are better off finding something else to watch!!

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at the halloween cult favorite, Ernest Scared Stupid. In addition to being a cult favorite, this one has the honor of being the last Disney owned Touchstone Pictures and theatrical Ernest release. This one features Ernest P. Worrell unleashing a troll that turns children into wooden statues that will allow this troll to bring forward a troll army!

Have a listen to hear my thoughts on this much loved favorite Halloween film!

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I revisited the Chiodo Brothers/Stephen Chiodo directed classic, Killer Klowns From Outer Space. This one is a cult classic that I believe stands the test of time while still being pop culturally relevant. Its also a great B-movie that is smarter than it's reputation & possibly the greatest film ever to feature murderous Kuller Klowns.

Have a listen to find out my thoughts and if Killer Klowns From Outer Space is worth a rewatch or watch for the first time! 

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at the second film in 2022 from Studio A24 and director Ti West, Pearl. Pearl is a prequel and the second film in the X trilogy, which tells the backstory of Pearl, who we met in the film, X, with how she wants more than anything to be a star in Hollywood, while having the urge to kill anyone standing in her way. Like the film, X, before this release, Pearl is a highly stylized film with another fantastic performance from actress Mia Goth.

Have a listen to find out my thoughts on Pearl, if this is another great release from Studio A24, and if you should check this one out!   

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes podcast, I take a look at the next entry in the Clerks series with Clerks 3. Currently on tour with Kevin Smith roadshow, this also had a limited release in theaters from Fathom events. This is also the potential last film in the Clerks series and if so, a fitting final chapter.

Have a listen to see what I thought of this ending chapter & if you are supposed to be here today (in the theatre)!!
