Coming Off The Reels

This week we are talking about two film that help close out the summer of 24, Trap and Alien: Romulus. Many people will say that the best days of M. Night Shyamalan and the Aliens franchise are long in the past, but maybe, just maybe, these two movies can prove those people wrong. Or maybe they are both trash, and we should just live in the past, at least as far as movies go.

Enjoy!

This week we are talking about a movies that seemed like had been in development for the last 25 years, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Tim Burton has been a very divisive director on this podcast in the past, but maybe this return to a class idea would inspire greatness in the once unique director. Or maybe we hated it. Or maybe it was fine. So many ways this could go.

It is our 420th episode, so instead of talking about movies, here is a whole episode where we try twenty varieties of Reese’s candies. There are some real surprises here. We all knew that certain ones would do well, but our top choices are not unanimous. Plus, there are some real trash candies out there, so we did that research so you don’t have to.

Look…this movie is insanely popular, and will end up making more money than most of the movies in the MCU. That said, we have some differing opinions on Deadpool & Wolverine. We all went into this movie with varying degrees of excitement, and there were most certainly some concerns with how delicately they would address Logan, but we at least all agree it was better than Deadpool 2. So that’s something.

Full disclosure, the Beverly Hills Cop franchise does not carry the same weight that many of the other franchises do from this era of film, so when Netflix announced that they were making a fourth installment after a 30 year break, we were not exactly over the moon. We went into Axel F with pretty modest expectations, so we thought surely that could at least meet them. Netflix doesn’t have a great track record in the past, but could this be the one to finally feel like an actual movie, instead of a straight to streaming release? We reveal our feelings pretty quickly this week, so just give it a listen.

This week we are talking about Neon Studio’s new hit horror film, Longlegs. In general, horror fans seem to love this movie, but does that me that we did? I think you know, we rarely all agree with each other, and this movie is no different. So if you liked Longlegs, then you will agree with something we say, and if it wasn’t for you, we still have you covered. We aim to please at COTR.

Ti West was always going to have a tough time living up to the hype after giving us two of the best horror films in recent memory with X and Pearl. Maxxxine looked like it had the chance to exceed all expectations, but could it stick the landing, or did Ti West do what Ti West does, and focus on style over substance? Obviously we will give you our take, but that doesn’t mean it’s correct.

Enjoy!

This week we are talking about the thoroughly mediocre horror film, The Watchers. We didn’t want you to go into this one not knowing if we liked it or not. While there are some okay parts, there are not enough to justify this being a feature length horror film. Just know going into this episode that we are going to be making fun of a lot of it.

Enjoy!

This week we are talking about the low budget, deconstructed, slasher flick, In a Violent Nature. Our opinions are not perfectly aligned, but we can all agree on one thing…this movie has one of the most creative kills on 2024. So if you like horror, you should check it out, but if you want to stare, mouth agape, at one of the most excessively violent scenes of late, then you should also check out this movie. Either way, you should listen to our episode.

Enjoy!

This week we are talking about new movies, one in theaters, and the other available on Netflix, Bad Boys: Ride or Die and The Hit Man. We enjoyed both movies well enough, so if you want to watch them and circle back to us, that’s okay. Otherwise, sit back as we jump all over the place talking about the good and bad of these two movies.

Enjoy!
