Critics w/o Credentials

In the penultimate episode of this series, Devin continues to force-feed Olsen Twin entertainment to Chris in an effort for him to see the light and embrace them as the 90s/00s trendsetters that they should be recognized as being. It seems to have taken a step back with Winning London.

Kevin and Chris watch and discuss two very different films in Universal’s monster movie catalog with equally mixed results. However, some of the events that occur within these two movies have ripple effects well into this ongoing series. 

The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

Werewolf of London (1935)

Kevin and Chris continue with their watches of some of Universal’s most iconic horror films from the 1930s and beyond. The duo breaks down some of their favorite major advancements in practical effects during that era and much more. 

The Mummy (1932)

The Invisible Man (1933)

Devin and Chris dive headfirst into this week’s challenge as there are many good (and bad) options to choose from. Both manage to go the route of the anthology film which leads to some interesting discussion.

Devin’s Choice: Cat’s Eye

Chris’ Choice: Creepshow 2

With Devin and Chris’ passports still freshly stamped from Paris, the duo goes Down Under to Australia for the next entry in this 6-part series. Enjoy as Devin’s favorite Olsen Twin movie serves as the perfect form of torture for Chris. Cue another dance montage!

Kevin and Chris come back from a solid Labor Day holiday to discuss some of the film and TV they’ve been able to watch. They talk the third episode of SHE-HULK, Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, a Netflix Sports Doc, Pinocchio on Disney+, and more!

Also, check out our Creatures w/o Credentials series every Tues/Thurs discussing the Universal Monster movies from the 1920s - 1950s.

Kevin and Chris continue through the Universal Monster Movies by focusing on two of their biggest icons; Dracula and Frankenstein. The duo discusses the upcoming direction that the films will take as they enter into the golden age of cinema and more!

Dracula (1931)

Frankenstein (1931)

Kevin and Chris begin their journey through the amazing world of Universal Studios Monster movies. These two silent era films slightly pre-date the traditionally understood start of the Monster movies but they are pivotal for what’s to follow. 

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923)

The Phantom of the Opera (1925

Chris and Devin discuss this week’s challenge centered around a Historical War. Both choose films that evoke certain emotions leading to some interesting points around the depiction and/or glorification of war and how that has evolved over time. 

Chris’ Choice: All Quiet On the Western Front (1930)

Devin’s Choice: Paths of Glory (1957)

Devin and Chris have their passports and head over to Paris as they embark on yet another Olsen twin adventure. This one finds the girls reluctantly getting a free trip to Paris, finding random love, giving life advice to the true star of the film, Jeremy, and schooling Parisians on the importance of the water table.
