Film Fights

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?!?!

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!

Live from Dallas Comedy Club, famous Film Fighters, Kon 'n Jon, present these two classic 90s slasher films!  Well, one of them more classic than the other.  Which one?  I think the answer is obvious, but tune in to find out WHY!  Special thanks to the wonderful James Prewitt.

This is the end.  The end of Film Fights.  Season 3.   Going out with a BANG, Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon finish this wonderful run of battles with a hot new game show called Back of the Box!  Who will be crowned "You're Winner"?  Tune in to find out!

On a rare serious note, we would like to thank the Lovely Spectators for tuning in to the show and all their support.  We will be taking a brief hiatus as we transform from Film Fighters to Life Fighters but will return in time to celebrate Independence Day.  Additionally, there will be more live shows coming up, a video series, and more silliness to come!  Dare we tease... Film Fights Adventures!?

Finishing up our Spring Time Vexed Vamps theme is the Nic Cage Dracula film, Renfield, which focuses on the titular character, played by Nicholas Hoult.  Goofy, gory, and refreshingly different than the current landscape of paint-by-numbers flicks of late, will Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon prove that the entire world really HAS gone mad and that Renfield is GOOD ACTUALLY?  Well, we're not reinventing the wheel here, but it's nice to see Cage be a Dracula.

Spring Time is here!  What a perfect time for Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon to discuss the VERY specific genre of 90s Vampire Romance Horror (the Rom-Vom, if you will).  So take a bite out of these tearjerking lovey dovey horror(ish) films, and you'll be turned into Waah-mpires!  Yup.  That terrible joke was absolutely worth you reading this.  Please listen, rate, share, and subscribe.  Thanks.

It was inevitable that Evil Dead Rise would pop up in your Film Fights feed after that Deadites Franchise Frenzy.  These are the times, Lovely Spectators!  When opinions are white hot, and Intellectual Properties are played safe.  Your resident film fighters are not sure about the critical climate lately, but if Evil Dead has taught us anything, it's to go AGAINST the grain!  With extreme prejudice!  Also, it's the debut of Film Rights™.

What's YOUR Boomstick?  Email us at [email protected]!  Spring time is coming and Deadites are in the air.  And your resident Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon are gearing up for a nice trip to an old cabin to revisit the Evil Dead series.  Listen in HORROR as the discussing of The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, and Army of Darkness will have you questioning your sanity!  But seriously - why wasn't the 3rd Evil Dead called "Medievil Dead"?!  Oh, and Jono goes on a nerd-fueled rant about the comic books and the TV series Ash vs Evil Dead.
