I never watched these when they came out, but they make for some interesting viewing & discussion.

In the dialog, I explore whether the pharaoh often designated by American cinema is accurate; I talk a bit about the 10 plagues (which I initially misremember as 7 for some reason), and we even go into some discussion of the artistic styles, as well as the development aspects of the films.

Although Joseph, King of Dreams is technically a companion piece, I deem it a direct-to-video prequel. The discussion largely goes in a chronological direction, per date of release, rather than which story occurs first in the Bible.

And lastly, I try to give each story the reverence needed, because they matter to a lot of people.

In the final episode of the retrospective, we look at a wide array of movies, including some worth discovering and others worth forgetting. And we get my final thoughts summing it all up.

In this episode, we look at October & November, from the fun chillers of the Halloween season to the family films of turkey day leading into the winter festivals, it featured some exciting stories and even some all-star comedies & dramas.

In this episode, we zero in just on the month of September, as it was a big month for a lot of movies to come out.

In this episode, we look at July & August, with in-depth details about all kinds of movies that got left for the August dumping ground.

In this episode, we focus just on the month of June, the height of the summer blockbuster season, with excitement & adventure in store.

In this episode, we look at March, April, and May of 2009 as spring rolled on into summer, with some blockbusters trying to get in early for the end of the school year.

In this longer-form episode, we'll take a look at the first two months of the year 2009 and all the films that came out that year.

I skip over some that just aren't as relevant or a bit more obscure, and even skip many documentaries. This first episode is off the cuff remarks, but future parts will be pre-written to help it be a little sharper in focus.

A serious look at a very funny man.

This is a short retrospective on the later works of Canadian-born film & TV actor, Leslie Nielsen. Nielsen had a lot of films to his name from the `80s & `90s, but they were a mixed bag. He was great opposite Peter McNicol as Renfield in Dracula - Dead and Loving It, but then you have Mr. Magoo.

(Music at the end is just some improvised work by me.)

In this finale, we'll examine the last season of the series, released in 2014, and the last special, from 2016.
