Get 2 The Movies

This week, we're revisiting our ultimate mafia showdown. Goodfellas and The Godfather are the quintessential mob movies, but to call them that would hardly do them justice. Under the masterful direction of Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, these films brought a nuance and humanity to the world of organized crime that has been hard to replicate. We put these two masterpieces up against each other to see which would come out on top, and while we might crown a winner, the victor only wins by a microscopic hair.

Blockbusters, tentpole movies, indie films - we hear these terms thrown around but what do they actually mean? In this episode we're talking where the movie industry is headed and why studios seem obsessed with primarily pushing franchises. Sometimes it's hard to maintain artistic vision when appealing to the lowest common denominator seems to bring in the dollars. Plus, we look at how Netflix is changing the model and making a safe place for indie films and true artists.

With the COVID-19 pandemic delaying the release of Ghostbusters: Afterlife (not to mention several others), we figured this was a good time to revisit our Ghostbusters vs Ghostbusters 2 battle. When you need a debate between the original Ghostbusters, who you gonna call? Not Nick, Neal and Thiago, that’s for sure. In this episode we descend into the final stages of absolute madness as we battle it out over which is better, Ghostbusters or Ghostbusters 2. While the popular consensus usually points to the original as the superior film, Neal and Thiago have something to say about that. From the scene-stealing Lord Viggo and Janosz to a walking Statue of Liberty and Bobby Brown tunes, they fight tooth and claw to crown the sequel the winner. Of course, Nick in his relentless mission to prove them wrong, doesn’t take his punches laying down. In what should have been a no-brainer, he has to scream to make sure his points are heard. He pulls out all stops with movie quotes, plot logic and examples of #2’s cartoonish antics. At the end of the day, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis have rarely been in better shape as comedians. The funny exists in both movies, a lot of which was improvised on the spot. Whether you like the first or the second (if you like the reboot more than both of these, you can honestly just go eff yourself), you probably agree that both are infinitely quotable and have only gotten better with age. We hope you enjoy our battle royale. We certainly had fun screaming at each other for nearly an hour, all for your entertainment. We came, we saw, we kicked each other’s ass!

This week, we're throwing it all the way back to Episode 3 where we discussed the then upcoming "Alien: Covenant," but more importantly, this is the episode where we pit James Cameron against Ridley Scott. The two iconic directors are up there on the Mount Rushmore of filmmakers, with multiple timeless movies in each of their filmographies. In an effort to make sure Ridley Scott gets his just due in the history books, we battle it out with a detailed argument for who would win in the James Cameron vs Ridley Scott showdown.
