WE GOT NOTHING.

For all intents and purposes, the Sony Marvel Universe is finally dead and buried. No new projects on the horizon, and rumors about Spider-Man 4 being a big crossover between the two franchises seem to be in doubt. So, because we have to, it's time to take a look at the final nail in the coffin. Come join Brian, Alec, and special guest Darby (@gwenstacying) as they take a look what very well may be Sony's worst Marvel movie -- KRAVEN THE HUNTER!

"THAT'S MY LINE."

Well over a hundred commentary tracks since we first started this show in 2022, and we have yet to do a full-blown musical (the Persona 5 stage show doesn't count, shut up). That is, until now! One of the most popular musicals of all time -- if not THE most popular -- has finally made its way to the big screen. Well, halfway, that is. With its second and final act premiering later this year, the boys and friends have decided to dive into its monumental first theatrical half. So, come join Brian, Alec, and special guests Darby (@gwenstacying) and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) as they take a look at the first film adaptation of the musical that's had the world in a vice grip for nearly 22 years -- WICKED!

"THERE'S SO MANY F#&*ING RULES."

Amongst the abyss of Hollywood live action anime adaptations that have languished in development hell for the past twenty-five years, one that was expedited was a new take on one of the most popular and highly-acclaimed manga and anime of all time -- Death Note. What resulted from this was a film that got dropped from its theatrical distributor, picked up by Netflix, and completely warped everything that made the original work. Tale as old as time. So, come join Brian, Alec, and special guest Darby (@gwenstacying) as they take a look at one of the most hated live action anime/manga adaptations of all time -- Adam Wingard's DEATH NOTE!

SAY THE LINE, SAM!

Now that they're in the new year, and with many weeks to go before their next marathon, the boys have decided to take a look at random films they've been itching to commentate over, both old and new. One such film is a genuine marvel as to how it got made, and could very well be considered the original meme movie. Come join Brian and Alec as they revisit all the good, bad, and ugly of the 2000's with SNAKES ON A PLANE!

"GET THE CROWN, SAVE THE TOWN, AND MR. KRABS!"

Happy 2025! To kick off the year, the boys figured it was high time to watch a film they forgot to watch two years ago! Like many people their age, SpongeBob was an enormous staple of their childhoods, made even bigger due to its classic theatrically-released film. So, to celebrate the movie's (belated) twentieth anniversary, come join Brian and Alec as they revisit one of their favorite childhood films -- THE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS MOVIE!

HARRISON FORD WAS RIGHT.

There are many things about Star Wars that live in infamy. The Phantom Menace, The Rise of Skywalker, the Ewok movies, the fanbase, the list goes on. However, one might reign supreme above them all... except for the fanbase, there's no topping that. While the writing process was full-steam ahead for The Empire Strikes Back, Lucas and co. decided to produce a holiday special to tide over audiences and keep the franchise fresh in their minds. What resulted was a piece of media so bad that even George Lucas himself is ashamed of it. How bad could it truly be? Come celebrate the holidays with Brian and Alec to find out as they take a look at the accursed STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL!

WHY IS THIS ACTUALLY GOOD?

Despite everything going against it, the first Sonic movie ended up being a big hit with fans and audiences. Going forward, there were two paths the filmmakers could've walked in response to it: venturing further away from the material, or embracing it even harder. Thankfully, Fowler and co. did the latter, as the sequel that arrived two short years later brought about so much more for fans to adore -- while also being surprisingly wholeheartedly good. How did this happen? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they prepare for the third installment by diving into SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2!

"THAT WAS AN ILLEGAL LEFT, BY THE WAY."

While it is the holiday season, an even more important festivity is on the horizon that we must prepare for. Sonic has had a checkered history across the board, with a loud and often-unsatisfied fanbase and projects that are seemingly cursed to be divisive or written off altogether. One such project was the live action movie, its first trailer living in infamy for its out-of-date style and historically off-the-mark design for its titular character -- so much so that they delayed the movie to fix it. The final design was warmly accepted, but is the movie itself any god outside of that? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they gear up for Sonic 3 by revisiting where it all started with Jeff Fowler's SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!

"THIS IS JUST LIKE GUILTY CROWN" - ROGER EBERT

Happy Holidays everyone! 2024 is finally winding down, and it's time to spread some of that cheer! We've all had our favorite and least favorite films to watch during the most wonderful time of the year, but what happens when revisiting a classic reveals its true terrifying uncanniness? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they take a magical and unnerving ride on Robert Zemeckis's THE POLAR EXPRESS!

HE JUST LIKE US FR!

With a lot of films pushed back due to the 2023 strikes, the coveted month of May saw an unusual dry spell of big blockbusters, one that hadn't been seen since the pandemic. However, one movie managed to nab the first weekend slot that Disney had the monopoly on for four years -- David Leitch's The Fall Guy. This film didn't receive a whole lot of commercial buzz around the time in spite of its release date, but what exactly were people missing out on? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they dive into a tribute to the unsung heroes who take the hard hits on sets -- THE FALL GUY!
