Filmlosophers

The Filmlosophers dance gracefully as they discuss the polarizing cinematic experience of Todd Phillip’s Joker.

The Filmlosophers swap roles as Spencer jumps in the driver’s seat to discuss the franchise that redefined time travel films, the Back to the Future Trilogy. The DeLorean Dynamos, joined by friend and longtime listener to the show, Marcus, buckle up and reminisce on the cultural, cinematic and even scientific impact of the films that took the world by storm over three decades ago. We take a deep dive and ask the hard questions: how do the films measure up today? Does the franchise and all its theories about time travel still hold water? Or -much like Professor Hulk pointed out in Avengers: Endgame- has the explanation of it been wrong all along? Tune in to find out what we think in this week’s episode of The Filmlosophers!

The Filmlosophers leave a bloody trail behind them as they discuss the last film in the 37-year Action franchise, Rambo: Last Blood. The Strapping Cinephiles pull up their bootstraps and take a stab at sifting their thoughts from the rubble of the film that caps a 37 year long journey. In comparison to the first film in the series, First Blood, how does Last Blood measure up? Does Sylvester Stallone bring the nostalgia with a return to form for the series, or does the film reek of just another franchise entry cash grab? Tune in -and wear your raincoats- to find out in this week’s episode of The Filmlosophers!

The Filmlosophers take a nose dive headfirst into the world of veterans and vagrancy with a deeper look at Sylvester Stallone’s 1982 action film, First Blood. The guys dissect the work of author David Morrell and his novel adapted into the cinematic work that started a 37 year franchise. The idea of Rambo holds thoughts of guns and explosions (and definitely body counts), but what happens if you take a closer look at the film that started it all? The Dynamic Duo do just that, and dig deep into not only the impact First Blood had in the cinematic world, but even it’s implications about the treatment of Vets in the U.S., even to this day!

The guys take some time out of the chaos of their soon-to-be fall season to discuss the technicolor wonder, and it’s oddity of a sequel, 1985’s Return to Oz. Does the weirdness and aroma of 80’s nostalgia change the pleasant vibes of its predecessor? Or do the familial memories and catchy tunes keep the beauty and wonder of The Wizard of Oz from turning entirely grey? Tune in to find out in this week’s episode of The Filmlosophers!

The Filmlosophers have returned to drink coffee and wage war on movie trailers, as well as discuss why the ending of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark confused Spencer. Nestled back at the incredible Oblivion Comics & Coffee, the Duo pull up a chair, grab their coffees and pastries, and discuss why Hollywood can't put out a decent trailers anymore. Like, are we the only ones seeing this problem? It's an epidemic! We also take some time to untangle some of the mess left behind by Scary Stories to tell in the Dark! Grab some popcorn, toss aside the homework, and tune in to a new and exciting episode of Extra Credit!
