After the Hype

This week kicks off our October Horror month in which we watch - you guessed it - horror films. Our criteria this year involved films we either missed, films we wanted to see, or like in the case of the film we picked this week - films that were available. That's right! We're watching 30 Days of Night, a movie with an interesting premise that will have you going "vampires kill me now." It's certainly a rough watch, but we have fun tearing it apart.

Hey guys! Due to some technical difficulties we don't have a new episode for you this week, so we thought we would jump in our time travel machine that's suspiciously shaped like a police box and go back to our Batman V. Superman episode, which featured special guests Alex Marshall-Brown and Armond Richards. It was a blast to record and we all managed to survive the brawl between the supes and the bat. See you next week with a new episode!

This week on the podcast we discuss Brightburn, a film with a promising and interesting premise, which falls apart in almost every way. Join us as we try to make sense of the decision-making at play and try to find some bright spots in this iffy flick.

This week on the podcast we trip a little light fantastic - or at least try to - with Mary Poppins Returns, the "just okay" sequel to the 1964 Disney classic. We have SOME nice things to say about the film...promise! It's just that most of the positive things involve Emily Blunt. Anyway, hitch a ride on a kite and come join us for this piece of...entertainment.

This week we're all floating down here as we talk about Stephen King's IT, the made-for-tv movie featuring Tim Curry in his iconic role as Pennywise the Clown. Does it hold up? Absolutely not. Did we have fun talking about it? You bet.

BRYAN - Assassins Creed: Origins

This week on the podcast we're talking about Alita: Battle Angel, the film from Robert Rodriguez which was written by James Cameron. It's quite a movie, with some excellent casting choices and a vibrant, lived in world, and we regret that it didn't do better in theaters. Truly, if you didn't see it in theaters, you missed out.

BRYAN - Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

We finally did it. We reached the end of the MCU...or at least our desire to talk about these movies in podcast form. This Endgame in both film and podcast tradition has been a long time coming and we brought back Samantha Garrison from the Sam Wise podcast to help us bring this saga to a close.

BRYAN - Justice League

This week on the podcast we're talking about SHAZAM! - the latest film in the DCEU and perhaps the most fun of the bunch. Zachary Levi has an absolute blast as the titular hero, and plays well against Mark Strong's villain Silvana. There's a lot to love with this flick and we discuss every bit.

This week on the podcast have we got the double feature for you! It's Monty Python's The Meaning of Life and Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life, two films which go surprisingly well together and complement each other in some crazy-amusing ways. Let the madness and wonder take a hold as we deal with Dinosaurs and Corporate Pirates.
