Do We Like Movies?

SPOILER WARNING - finally here! The highly anticipated Candyman remake from Jordan Peele and director Nia DaCosta. In this reboot/sequel we return to what remains of the Cabrini Green project to learn what the urban legend of Candyman means in the modern world. While we plan to cover the film in a normal long form episode we wanted to share our immediate thoughts on this film leaving the theater. 

This week we take a more serious look at an all time classic for us. Edward James Olmos stars as an East Los Angeles Math Teacher who changed the lives of it's largely Hispanic students by preparing them for the AP Calculous exam. 

We're some kind of rebooted(?) Suicide Squad.... James Gunn comes in to salvage DC's attempt to adapt the beloved comic series that revolves around a gang of D list villains who are enlisted for Black Ops missions by the evil Amanda Waller and the US Government. Our villains are called to travel to the Central or South American island of Corto Maltese to instigate coup and recover data on a secret operation called Project Starfish. 

Remember the 90s? Based on the works of R.L. Stine (The creator of the Goosebumps book series), this week we discuss Fear Street. This a trilogy of movies that combines elements of 70s-90s slasher films and modern supernatural horror. In this episode we discuss all three movies in the trilogy.

Fear Street: 1994

Fear Street: 1978

Fear Street: 1666

This week is a double feature! We wrap up our Conjuring Extended Universe mini series with a discussion on the surprisingly good Annabelle prequel, and finally discuss the reason this series exists: The Annabelle Movie who's plot synopsis sounds like a Disney Channel Original Halloween Movie.

This week we start our Annabelle mini-series with the 2014 follow up to the original Conjuring movie. In this film we follow young parents John and Mia as they deal with all the stress of expected parenthood. As if that wasn't enough, John gifts Mia a haunted doll that will soon terrorize the new family.

This week we are chat about the latest chapter in The Conjuring Franchise. In this episode we talk a bit about the real Arne Cheyenne Johnson (aka "The Devil Made Me Do It") case and how it differs from the film. Please join us for our last epsidoe before our 2 week hiatus!

For Episode 100 we review Christopher Nolan's Comic Book masterpiece that captures our Post 9/11 anxiety like no other film of the 00s. After his triumph over Ra's Al Guhl and The League of Shadows, Batman joins forces with Gotham City Police Lt. Jim Gordon, and District Attorney Harvey Dent to rid the city of organized crime once and for all. What they don't plan for is the ultimate wildcard, The Joker, played in an Academy Award winning final performance by Heath Ledger.
