Franchise Killer

*record scratch* Let's take it from the top. At least, that's how some of us feel about this third entry in the franchise. A film that resets the chess pieces to where they were before and doesn't add much of anything to the franchise, hell, it basically ends in the same way that the second one did. Does that mean we didn't have a good time? Of course not, and despite its flaws, we're still not kicking this one out of bed. What are YOUR thoughts on ECLIPSE?

We shift from Edward to Jacob in this sequel to TWILIGHT: THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON. What's most impressive about this movie? Well, it was made in the time it took to make a SAW sequel. 1 YEAR! Does the hastiness in production equal a lesser final product? Find out in our episode!

On this episode we're talking about the first in a series of films that are loved just as much as they're hated. TWILIGHT. Just like we do with all movies, we take a fair and reasoned approach to this first film and find out what does work, and of course what doesn't (There's surprisingly a lot in both categories!). 

In this week's episode we discuss M. Night Shyamalan's defining debacle: THE LAST AIRBENDER. It's a film that totally botches adapting the show upon which it was based on. Sure, there are certain aspects of the movie that sort of work, but let's be real, this isn't what anyone asked for. What are your thoughts on Shyamalan's "epic"?

We talk about farts a lot in this episode. Thoughts?

What better way to celebrate our 150th episode than cover a mixed bag of a sequel whilst understaffed and mildly inebriated. That's right, it's TRON: LEGACY time, and while we found that the movie never reaches its full potential, it still does a lot of things right and aesthetically, it's pretty much bullet proof. The big question, though, is does it do enough to surpass the original? What are YOUR thoughts on TRON: LEGACY?

On this episode we talk about TRON! There are discussions about whether or not this film deserves its status as a classic, what it did for CGI, Jeff Bridges' ability to inject life into even the most lifeless projects and we also go off on one too many Robocop tangents. What are your thoughts on Tron?

On this episode we jump into the world of ENDER'S GAME. It's a movie based off of a surprisingly dark science fiction YA novel. One of us has read the book and the others haven't. Guess who is disappointed?

This week we're closing out THE MATRIX franchise with THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS. Many a strong opinion is had on this episode and things get pretty contentious a few times, but what did you expect from an episode covering one of the most divisive releases in recent memory? What are YOUR thoughts on the film?

On this episode we close out what for a long time was the Matrix trilogy with THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS. It's the only one of the three to be mixed-to-negatively received and left a bit of a stink on the franchise. Since then, the stocks of RELOADED and REVOLUTIONS have risen, but do we side with the original consensus, or do we feel this one was unfairly maligned? More importantly, what are YOUR thoughts on this movie and the trilogy as a whole?
