Fix A Flick

When Fix a Flick meets Give it 5 we transform into the unstoppable No Flicks Given! This is the beginning of our 4 part Halloween series where each member of the pod gives out a Halloween recommendation. First up is Connor's pick: The Lost Boys! Come get sexy with some California vampires and spooky vibes.

It's the Pod's 4th birthday and we are celebrating with sand (Which is coarse and gets everywhere), spice, and everything nice! Matt Conrad is here from the @giveit5 podcast to help us celebrate. The boys dissect the sci-fi classic Dune- both the 1984 David Lynch film and the classic 1965 novel by Frank Herbert and the amazing documentary Jodorowsky's Dune.

Enjoy and happy birthday Fix a Flick!

The last time Nathan came to the pod he warned us about the environment. This time it's a bit more extra- extraterrestrial. We are picking apart Signs (2002) to try and make some more sense of why these Aliens even came to earth in the first place.

After a brief hiatus the boys are back to get medieval with it! Friend of the pod Joey Simpson is back to give us another history lesson! After his fixes for Troy (Ep. 42) and Dungeons and Dragons (Ep. 62), Joey thought it best to school us in latter day Rome and the legend of Excalibur with The Last Legion (2007).

We did not come to fix but to appreciate! Peter and Connor sit down with Frank and Matt for a new series on movie appreciation. Together they are No Flicks Given and today they are looking at the coming of age 80's Classic, The Goonies!

The trilogy is complete! Our pandemic series ends with a cry for brains as once and future guest Chandler Wild returns to tear apart George A Romero's last film, Survival of the Dead (2009).

The pandemic continues and so does the fixing of latter day Romero as the boys invite back long time friend and first ever guest Stuart Mcniell back to the pod. The goal today is to tackle Romero's return to indie films by fixing George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead! Be sure to follow Stu on Instagram @smcniell

Things are spooky in the world right now, so why not lean into it? We are exploring a different kind of pandemic as we kick off a fix of the last three George Romero movies beginning with 2005's land of the dead and the king of spook himself, Rob Schulte! Come escape into a zombie world as we help make an ok movie become great!

Will you take the animated red pill or the animated blue pill? Peter Garafalo (@petergthedp on Insta) is back to see if he can improve on the excellent Animatrix and give a little more depth to the world of the Matrix in general. Go check out Episode 6 from 2016 for Peter's Oscar worthy fix of the SpongeBob movie as well!

Take a look at Peter's website as well.

The Academy Awards are on the boys mind's this week as they figure out some of the ways that the Oscars are lagging behind in the 21st century. Like, its 2020- does gender for awards even matter anymore? We explore all that and more plus picks for Best Picture!
