Are you ready to Slam Evil?

Back in 1996, this beloved comic book hero was brought to the big screen for the first time. But with a Tomatometer rating of 44%, an Audience Score of 31% and a box office take of only 17.3 million, clearly people were not ready for the campy authenticity of The Phantom.

Starring Billy Zane, Kristy Swanson and Treat Williams, this movie has become something of a cult classic. So what happened? Why the icy reception? Come check out this episode as we investigate and discuss the history of this character, the incredible production of this film and what the future could hold for The Phantom.

This episode contains selections of an interview with Billy Zane conducted by, X-Band The Phantom Podcast #133. If you'd like to hear that interview in its entirety, please check out their podcast.

With a Tomatometer rating of 15% and an Audience Score of 17%, The Wicker Man remake from 2006 is ripe for the defending. As our first Nicolas Cage film on the podcast, we discuss his range as an actor and his sometimes 'operatic' performances. We also compare and contrast the original film from 1974. While this could be seen as an almost obligatory episode, given so many reviewers have dunked on this film, we are determined to find some things we liked about it, and maybe give you some food for thought the next time you sit down to watch it. So grab some honey and get ready to dive into this misguided thriller with us.

The time has come to finally take on the film that inspired the very concept of this podcast! Dan and Aaron finally take on "Alien 3".

With a Tomatometer rating of 43% and an Audience Score of 47%, Alien 3 is a prime example of what studio meddling can do to a beloved franchise. With expectations sky-high after the blockbuster success of 1986's "Aliens" fans were lead to believe that the next installment would bring the mighty Xenomorph to Earth. Turns out 20th Century Fox had other plans. More specifically, 20th Century Fox had no plans at all! With a release date set in stone before a story or script were locked in, the stage was set for box office disappointment. "Why are the innocent punished? Why the sacrifice?" Against all odds, Director David Fincher somehow managed to scrape together a film that is dark, dreary, and wildly divisive among fans. But is it all bad? Not by a long shot! 3 Times the Episode, 3 Times the Defending, 3 Times the Jokes! Let's go!

Sequel Season is in full-swing as Dan and Aaron take on 2018's "The Predator"

Sitting on the Tomatometer at 32% with an Audience Score of 33%, it is pretty easy to see that this film didn't resonate with die-hard or casual fans alike. However, being the most successful film of the franchise does raise a few eyebrows and prompt some investigation. Dan and Aaron discuss the fine lines Director Shane Black had to walk in order to bring this soft reboot to the big screen. They discuss the history of the franchise, the bizarre reshoots, and take a second look at stuff they didn't like about it with fresh eyes. Did nostalgia set unrealistic expectations? Is this movie actually just mad trash? Is there more good to it than meets the eye? Come find out why "The Predator" might actually be a better Predator movie than you think it is.

NOTE: This episode has been flagged as Explicit due to some language from the film clips included. Assuming you're a Predator fan, this shouldn't come as a surprise.
