Adam Analyzes

For this week's episode of Adam Analyzes, I checked out the fifth entry in the Scream franchise with the creatively titled, Scream. A new cast of characters join up with Sydney, Gayle, & Dewey, with the new film being not just a reboot, but also a sequel to the original series. In addition to discussing the new movie, I also give my ranking of the first four Scream films at the start of the episode!

What did I think of this Rebootquel or as the movie calls it, Re-quel, does it live up to the past films & should the franchise continue to a Scream 6 with the original characters or is it time to actually reinvent the series? Have a listen and find out my thoughts on this week's episode!!

For this week's episode of Adam Analyzes, I decided to revisit the 1996 classic, Scream. With a new entry in the long running series opening today, this Wes Craven directed original revitalized the horror genre & gave popularity to the self-aware horror film. The big question is how does 1996 pop culture relevant film hold up in 2022?

Have a listen to find out my thoughts on this horror classic and if its still a...Scream!!!

For this week's episode of Adam Analyzes, I tackle the Netflix exclusive, Don't Look Up, which is an Leonardo DiCaprio & Jennifer Lawrence starring satire directed by Adam McKay. While this is definitely not a film for everyone, I did at least admire the message that director Adam McKay was delivering.

For this week's episode of Adam Analyzes, I was dragged back into the matrix, with The Matrix Resurrections. Keanu Reeves & Carrie-Anne Moss are back for this one as well in a story that tries to be, not just a sequel, but a remake too! How does this all work? Does rebootquel concept actually work? The answer to this is kind of...I think?

Have a listen to this week's episode to see what I thought of this one!!

This week's episode of Adam Analyzes, brings us to the final week of my holiday themed films for the month of December with, Ernest Saves Christmas. The Ernest P. Worrell character has long been a pop culture favorite, that rose to extreme popularity in the 1980s to fading into obscurity by 1991. The second film in the Ernest film series, Ernest Saves Christmas has long been a favorite of fans & one that I couldn't wait to rewatch, specifically since I was a big fan of this film when I was a kid.

Have a listen to find out if I was successful in getting in the holiday mood and if you should add this to your annual holiday film viewing!!

This week's episode of Adam Analyzes brings us to the Richard Donner directed, Scrooged. Starring Bill Murray and as many of us know, Scrooged, is a radical reworking of the classic story of A Christmas Carol. It also happens to be one of my favorite Christmas movies & I think still holds up to this day.

Have a listen to find out why I think this is one that has only got better over the years!!

For this week's episode of Adam Analyzes, I take on the brand new Scream (Shout) Factory release of Krampus: The Naughty Cut. While calling this new cut, naughty, it may give fans and audiences the impression this is an R-rated or extreme version of the film we love...well you will have to listen to the episode to find out on that one...!! I also discuss how this feels like a throw back release to the early days of DVD home media. 

Have a listen to find out if Krampus: The Naughty Cut is worth your hard earned cash & make sure to stay tuned after the episode for a throwback to last year with the history of the Krampus legend & my thoughts on the theatrical cut of Krampus.

For this week's episode of Adam Analyzes, I tried to get into the holiday spirit with something that does not exactly embody the holiday spirit with,  The Star Wars Holiday Special. While only shown once on CBS, this notorious flop has a bit of a cult following with vibe of you simply have to see it for yourself to believe it. But what if it does have some slightly redeeming qualities, such as introducing the world to a certain well known, fan favorite bounty hunter? 

Have a listen to find out what I thought about this one & why I feel Star Wars fans should force themselves to sit through this one!!

This week's episode of Adam Analyzes takes us to the day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday!! This also just so happens to be a new horror comedy film, starring Devon Sawa & Bruce Campbell with the title of the the infamous day of crazed shoppers looking for deals that in many cases aren't deals.

Have a listen and find out what I thought of this infected people type of zombie movie, if it gave me flashbacks to working on Black Friday in my past & also if its worth checking out!! 

I also hope everyone out there had a Happy Thanksgiving with their families and loved ones!!

For my official episode back to Adam Analyzes, I talk about the Jason Reitman directed, Ghostbusters: Afterlife! This one part reboot & one part sequel that was 30 years in the making, not only introduces a whole new cast of characters, but also manages to bring back some familiar faces along the way. I also discuss a bit of my history with the Ghostbusters franchise & why I am a huge fan!

Have a listen to find out what I thought of Ghostbusters: Afterlife & if this is the rebootquel that most fans wanted and deserve!!
