Chops TV

This week, we're joined by Friend of the Show Sean Brugger for a discussion about 'Mortal Kombat,' both the video games and the expanding film franchise.

This week, we wrestle with 'Godzilla vs. Kong' and discuss the surprising science, controversial undertones and deep world-building of this knock-down, drag-out huge monster action flick. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Well, a third juggernaut usually appears...

This week, we discuss the trend of major film franchises expanding into the realm of television series and discuss one such upcoming series, the 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' show in-production by the House of Mouse. How have spin-off shows developed from cash-grab to pensive world-building?

This week, we welcome back guest co-host Eric Barnett to conclude our epic discussion of Zack Snyder's 'Justice League' - this time, with our review of 'The Snyder Cut.' Come for the pedantic examination of film, stay for Chops' rant on what a bad playcall was made in the football game scene.

This week, guest co-host Eric Barnett joins us to take a look back at the theatrical cut of Zack Snyder's 'Justice League' in anticipation of the release of 'The Snyder Cut' on HBO Max. What made the original release so bad? And what do we hope for in the extended edition?

This week, we use the release of 'Coming 2 America' to talk about sequels. Why are they so popular in Hollywood? How do they fail and how can they succeed? How long can we talk about literary theory before people tune out?

This week, we welcome guests Tim Hall and Jennifer Lopez (Finch) to our Avengers-sized discussion of the Disney+ original 'WandaVision.' What made us laugh? What made us cry? Why was Wanda driving a Buick?

This week, we welcome guest Tim Hall to talk about (what may be) the best-worst movie ever, John Woo's 'Face/Off.' Does John Travolta do a better Nicholas Cage than Nicholas Cage? How did Nick keeping getting work? Could you eat a peach for hours?

This week, we discuss the streaming services we use, those we couldn't live without and how the over-abundance of streaming services available today seems strangely reminiscent of the advent of cable television.

This week, we take a look at what Big Game Advertisements hoist the Lombardi Trophy and which leave with a participation trophy. Some were unexpectedly earnest, some were expensive and disingenuous, some deserved a laugh!
