Film Fights

Happy Halloween Lovely SPOOKtators!  It's that time again!  Your resident Film FRIGHTers, Konrad and Jono, continue their Franchise Frenzy of the first 8 Halloween films!  This episode finishes what they started with the 5th & 6th films, which conclude the Curse of Thorne storyline, followed by H20 and Resurrection - the sorta reboot sequels.

Happy Halloween Lovely SPOOKtators!  It's that time again!  Another Franchise to take apart by your resident Film FRIGHTers, Konrad and Jono.  This month's Franchise Frenzy features the first 8 Halloween films, split into two parts!  This episode will take you through the first two chapters of Michael Myers aka The Shape before suddenly becoming an anthology series with Season of the Witch, followed by the 4th film, Return of Michael Myers (3rd chapter overall, 1st chapter of the Curse of Thorne - I know it's a lot).

Wow!  Film Fights Podcast hits its 50th Battle (not episode), and what better way to celebrate this occasion but with two 80s childhood fantasy movies!  Interestingly enough, BOTH films feature not only a youth interacting with a storybook world  (directly or indirectly) but also have parent(s) that are introduced in the opening and to never be seen or heard from again.  Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon capture this moment with a very special guest - the very funny (and fellow film-o-phile) comedienne Dani Bee!

ALSO!  Get pumped for what Film Fights has planned for next year!  A spin-off SCRIPTED horror comedy series that poses the question on all you lovely spectator's minds:  What if Kon 'n Jon were monster hunters...?

Happy Halloween Lovely SPOOKtators!  Here's a bonus episode, ripped from the archives and gutted for your amusement!  Last year, Kon 'n Jon recorded this Film Fights Franchise Frenzy, exploring the first 4 original Texas Chainsaw movies just before their lives got turned upside down (which resulted in the show taking a break).  But here it is, unearthed for the world to enjoy!  Leatherface?  I hardly know her face... Yea, that was reaching for straw.  Straw from a scarecrow.  BECAUSE HALLOWEEN!

Stay tuned next month for our spectacular 50th BATTLE with a VERY special guest!

Intro/Outro by Math the Band.  "Hey Now Everybody"  by They Might Be Giants (from "Fingertips" medley).

Hello again BOILS & GHOULS and Lovely SHRIEKtators!  Resident Film FRIGHTERS, Kon & Jon continue their journey down memory LAME with Are You Afraid of the Dark.  On this episode, Konrad & Jono discuss The Laughing In the Dark and The Pinball Wizard (The Tales of).  Happy Halloween!  And we'll see you on the 31st (wink)!

Intro/Outro Theme by Math the Band.  Stay tuned for new series "Hard Talk With Hard Dicks."

Boo-urns!  It's that spooOOky time of the year again, Lovely SHRIEKtators!  And your resident Film FRIGHTERS, KonDEAD & Jon(OH N)o, are here to muck up your precious childhood!  But in all seriousness, Are You Afraid of the Dark is a classic anthology horror series that found itself targeted at kids but appealing to all ages.  On this episode, Konrad & Jono discuss The Hungry Hounds and Dark Music (The Tales of).  Will there be a winner?  Will there be a part 2 later this month?  Will there be another Halloween surprise?  The answer to all of these questions is a resounding "yea no duh".

We do want to close our eyes.   We do want to fall asleep, 'cuz we don't miss anything really - we're pretty sharp.  

Except when it comes to judgement calls on what movies to watch!  This time, we decided to visit a (not at all) innocent time when film studios respected each other and didn't try to release the exact same premise to a movie mere months apart in order to milk a seasonal trend.  It's the end of the world as we knew it, and we were actually pretty okay with it.  Listen to Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon battle through this classic duo of films to discover just why the heck was Robert Duvall such a cranky crab.  Or why Bruce Willis was such a cranky crab. Or why Cranky Crabs™ never took off - WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THAT THING I JUST MADE UP JUST NOW BACK THEN?!?!

Intro/Outro and Review the Reviews Theme by Math the Band.  Opening bit by Eddie Izzard (from Glorious).  Don't Wanna Miss a Thing slowed and reverbed by Future Jono.

If you thought we were going to discuss the TMNT original movies without touching on the Godfather III of this conclusion, you are SO wrong!  From bad animatronics and bizarre plotting to questionable character motivation and nonstop quipping, this was (at the time) the proverbial nail in the TMNT film coffin.  Uniquely, Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon each saw this movie when it originally released in the theater in 1993 (7 years before they each met in IRL real life).  They only watched it one more time for this show, 21 years later.  This is their analysis.

COWABUNGA!  Yo bro, it's time for Turtle Power in the studio apartment studio as your resident Film Fighters discuss these nostalgia-tinted ninja classics.  Before CGI, there was Jim Henson - a true hero in a half shell!  And also a "sometimes" working animatronic giant talking rat.

In all seriousness, thank you to all our supporters and listeners during our (way too long) hiatus.  We hear your words of kindness and battle ideas.  We are working hard to keep this fight going and look forward to bringing you all the scares and the smiles that fill us up with joy-joys!  Please rate, review, share and subscribe - it means the world to us!  Thank you!
