Hey everyone and welcome back to Filmmakers Compass Podcast! Dman and CP here to introduce a new format and discuss Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power. Very excited to make our return to podcasting and get some discussion going. So let us know if you’re excited for new LOTR!

We go a different route on today’s podcast as we look at 2 movies from the same series and see which one did it better…Sonic or Sonic 2!

Take a look back at the original blockbuster super hero movie…1978’s Superman! Christopher Reeve stars as the hero himself in the Richard Donner flick. Despite all its innovations and push in the genre, after all these years, does it still hold up?

Alright…here we go. This week on Total Rewind we look back at a forgotten movie that many of us probably haven’t seen…Arena. A sci-fi battle that leaves a lot to be desired. From the story and characters to music and effects we ask the simple question…does it hold up?

Movie Remake Time! returns and continuing with the still lively discussion around Batman we are taking a look at the campier side of things with Batman Forever vs Batman & Robin. It’s Joel Schumacher’s vision as he unleashes Val Kilmer vs George Clooney and introduces Robin and Batgirl to the big screen. From the zany villains, bright color palette, and cool toys we ask the question….who did it better!?

In anticipation of new Matt Reeves directed “The Batman” we decided to take a look at the classic that started it all, Tim Burton’s 1989 film starring Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton…Batman. This film introduced a lot to the comic book film genre and established Batman as the hero we know today. For many this is still the definitive film adaptation of Batman. But as always, we ask the question…does it still hold up?

Movie Remake Time! returns this week as we take a look at original Sly 90s action film and the 2012 reboot Judge Dredd. While one brings the campy fun and 90s action film effects the other brings blood soaked violence and a more true to the comic visual style. The question is…who did it better!?

On this week’s Total Rewind we take a look back at an 80’s action movie classics and one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s more iconic roles…Predator! With a blend of genres and healthy mix of action and effects, is this an action movie that holds up today? Let us know what you think!

This week on Total Rewind we are discussing our first Disney animated feature…The Little Mermaid! Not only does this movie have a special place in Disney animation history but the story itself has been around for generations. The question now is…does it still hold up!?
