Commando Prompt

*FULL STORY SPOILERS THROUGHOUT*

Unlike my GI tract, Commando Prompt is back on a regular schedule, baby (sorry about that joke)! Today we are talking 2016's 10 Cloverfield Lane, the not-quite-a-sequel-but-exists-in-the-same-universe to 2008's Cloverfield, or as Ethan likes to call it, Cloverfield Prime. Please make this universe make sense, JJ Abrams! We don't get it! Regardless, this movie is really good with three superb performances. Strap in and enjoy!

We're back, baby! Did you miss us? Please give a warm welcome to my new co-host, Andy Hollinger!

To make our return special, we decided to make our first theme the Cloververse, J.J. Abrams' weird ass shared universe that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but makes nerds like Andy and I salivate. We are starting off, of course, with 2008's Cloverfield. Strap in, and thanks for listening!

Ah, Armageddon. What is there to say about this classic 1998 film about a big rock spiraling towards Earth? Well, apparently a lot! We take a deep dive into this unhinged film to see what all Bruce Willis and the gang have to do to save the world. Whether it is the writing and dialogue of the fine oil workers turned astronauts, or, the odd father-daughter relationship development, Michael Bay surely does it again!

Today we are talking about 2010's surprisingly great, The Crazies! I surprisingly mostly because Johnny and I are still recovering from our Resident Evil episode. That was a lot for us. But we are back in ~good movie~ territory, and we're ready to build a home! Please join us as we close out our Zombie month!

Lucky number 7, baby. Well, it sure doesn't feel lucky because hoo boy, this movie was a slog to get through. Our first RESIDENT STINKER of the pod. There will most likely be more, but geesh this movie was a bit rough. Interesting attempt at rebooting the Resident Evil film series, with good bones, but let's just hope that if they make a sequel they.... improve a lot. A lot.

*FULL SPOILERS FOR BATTLE ROYALE THROUGHOUT*

Seriously..... who do you have a crush on? Because, believe it or not, 2000's Battle Royale -- a movie that is ostensibly about 40+ 15 year-olds trapped on an island where they are forced to kill each other -- is mostly about crushes and who you like and if you're popular or not and whether or not you were on the basketball team. So, please, before you fire that pistol, please tell me if you like me.

This movie..... is not like how either of us remembered. It's funny, it's weird, and it's at times very annoying. Strap in, my little elves, and enjoy the show.

Ho ho ho my sweet, Santa babies! Welcome to another episode of Commando Prompt, a podcast where I, Ethan, mess up the intro nearly every time!

FULL STORY SPOILERS THROUGHOUT THIS EPISODE.

This episode we are talkin' 2015's Sicaro, directed by Denis Villenueve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049) and written by Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water, Wind River). This one is... a touch grim, and why wouldn't it be given the plot of the film. Johnny's got Thoughts and Ethan is here to help him digest his Thoughts.

If you haven't seen this episode and just want to listen to the pod, you're doing the right thing!

Ho, ho, ho (this is my bit now, I am Santa, you're getting a Zune!), my sweet elves. Today we're talking 2011's Hanna. Strap in and buckle up (those are the same) because this movie was a real shocker. We toss around our English majors a whole heck of a lot in this episode, so I hope you like that sort of stuff.

As usual, SPOILERS THROUGHOUT. I actually never wrote that into the description before, but I am going to start doing that now.

Y'all ever want to time travel? Y'all ever want to time travel and prevent a virus that kills 99.9% of the population? Well, so did Bruce Willis in 1995's seminal 12 Monkeys. This one is a doozy and I think you're gonna like it. Please like it.
