Coming Off The Reels

Many of us went into the viewing of Morbius with a pretty positive attitude, but when we found out that it wasn’t really “Morbin Time”, our attitudes quickly shifted. There is still a spectrum of opinions from us, but even the highest praises we could offer were still pretty pathetic. So maybe if the bar is impossibly low, you could have a really good time watching Morbius.

Jared Leto is garbage.

Enjoy!

Let’s just go ahead and get it out of the way, Top Gun: Maverick absolutely lives up to the hype, and should be seen on the biggest screen you can find. It turns out there is still a place for a big summer blockbuster that isn’t a comic book film, and this movie shows that people of all ages will still show up in droves for “event cinema”. This week we spend our time largely gushing over our favorite parts of this absolute thrill ride of a movie.

Enjoy!

For those of you who are tired of us only talking about Marvel movies, this week we give you our episode on the Norwegian horror film, The Innocents. We may not entirely agree on the film, but we do fine some common ground. We also place way more value on a scene involving a tortilla than the director probably intended, but that doesn’t mean that we are wrong.

Enjoy!

Sonic the Hedgehog 2…I am not really sure what to say about this. The first one was one of the biggest surprises when it was released, but now that we now what to expect, could the sequel manage to capture the magic again? Certainly not to the extent that the first one did, but there are still plenty of things to like in Sonic’s second outing.

Enjoy!

If you’re like me, you’ve been longing to see a viking movie where there is a nude sword fight at the base of an active volcano. Well do I have some good news for you…The Northman!

Enjoy!

Well…we really try out best to break down the latest film from Alex Garland, Men. We would like to tell you that we understood everything that he was trying to say with this movie, but we undoubtedly missed something. Our opinions are a little all over the map, but we still managed to put together an okay episode, even if we did say the word “vagina” way more than usual.

Enjoy!

This week we are watching a film requested by one of our Patreon subscribers. The selection they went with was the 2014 film, The Voices. Our opinions vary wildly, but we all agree that it was nice seeing Ryan Reynolds when he was still flexing his acting muscles, and not just acting like some version of Deadpool.

The multiverse is everywhere right now, and much of that popularity is thanks to the MCU. The latest trip in this mind bending direction is Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This movie marks the return of Sam Raimi to the comic book craze that he helped to create twenty years ago. Does he still have what it takes to make something memorable in a genre that, some feel, is repetitive? Can Doctor Strange take on the new mantle as a leader of the MCU? Can we survive an episode without Ryan and Roy? Maybe you should listen to find out.

Enjoy!

Happy Star Wars Day! To celebrate, we took a break from movie talk, and instead, we dedicated an entire episode to Star Wars: The Clone Wars. We also thought we bring in someone who could speak on this series with a little more authority, Dan Kaufman! That’s kind of a big deal, so please show your gratitude by telling all your friends about the show…maybe your friend’s friends…maybe tell them all to sign up for our Patreon. Just an idea.

Enjoy!

Whatever your opinion may be of Michael Bay, he is at least very consistent in the types of movies he makes. Maybe his movies are not really your thing, which is perfectly fine, but when it comes to movies where shit blows up, he is an auteur. So please enjoy a couple of us talking about Bay’s 2 hour+ car chase extravaganza, Ambulance.

Enjoy!
