Make Me Watch It

The Brendans mark the anniversary of Foley's birth and the finale of yet another season of "Make Me Watch It" with a feature-length commentary on the next film of the Cornetto Trilogy - 2007's Hot Fuzz. They also do a lightning round of stuff they've watched, from this year's The Naked Gun reboot to the re-release of 2009's The Boy and the Beast and a few other sweet treats in between.

(If you want to skip straight to commentary, it starts at 14:03.)

The Brendans say "Excelsior!" as we blast off to wax poetic about how much we still love James Gunn's Superman (we don't have a problem, you have a problem) and the impressive merits of Marvel's First Family in their first MCU outing. We also talk previous Fantastic Four incarnations (they're bad), exciting new trailers (they're good), and Foley goes on a rant on the absolutely unhinged Happy Gilmore 2 (it's complicated).

The Brendans don their Hypno-glasses to talk caped crusaders and last sons of Krypton with a fabulous special guest. Zaki Hasan of IGN, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the MovieFilm Podcast joins us to talk Batman Forever at 30, Batman Begins at 20, and a deep dive into James Gunn's Superman.

We also chat the new Jurassic World: Rebirth, Agnew's reaction to 28 Years Later, and Marian's observations on superheroes from Big Blue to the Governator.

The Brendans gather to jaw over a lot of catchup on the big and small screen, from One of Them Days, Elio & 28 Years Later to introducing Wes Anderson and George A. Romero classics to the young and old. We also talk Netflix's new streaming hit KPop Demon Hunters and the new sports drama from the Top Gun: Maverick team, F1 (or F1: The Movie, if you're nasty).

The Brendans are in Live-Action Remake Town as Agnew talks taking the kiddo the the new How to Train Your Dragon and both Foley and Agnew celebrate the 10th anniversary of S.S. Rajamouli's epic Baahubali (which isn't actually a remake of The Lion King, but kinda is). We also talk the new Wes Anderson caper, the new animated Predator: Killer of Killers, and watching Friday the 13th on Jason's Birthday.

The Brendans choose to accept the mission of chatting everything from the original Star Wars Trilogy to 1980's Ninjasploitation cinema, the live-action Lilo & Stitch remake, and the big finale (?) of the Mission: Impossible series. There's also talk of some new spooky trailers, debates on the merits of the original Karate Kid, and why Jason Mantzoukas is magic on Taskmaster.

The Brendans bring special guest Austin Wilden back to talk old blood and new superheroes with a big ol' meal on Marvel's Thunderbolts*, the Lost Bullet films (especially the trilogy-concluding Last Bullet) and why they're delightful. We also take a detour into Horror Town with a discussion on breakout franchise revival Final Destination: Bloodlines in between dropping hot takes on everything from the new Superman trailer to Andor to Mission: Impossible.

The Brendans are joined by yet another legendary guest for a very special show on one of the best releaes of the year. Producer Max of the "Action For Everyone" podcast joins us to talk about Ryan Coogler's new pop art masterpiece Sinners along with its place in the history of black vampire movies alongside works like Ganja & Hess. We also talk exciting new Predator stuff, introducing loved ones to spooky movies, and why you should never trust the Irish.

We also talk Predator stuff, dinosaur stuff, Marvel trailers, video game malarkey, and even offer a taste of our excitement for Ryan Coogler's upcoming Sinners.

Well, A Minecraft Movie is just around the corner, so the Brendans chew over the past 20-plus years of video game movie adaptations - what works, what doesn't, why some films like As Above, So Below and Prey seems to crack the "feel" in spite of being otherwise unrelated, and if TV is the smarter way to go.

We also do a lot of catchup, from the cast announcement for Avengers: Doomsday to Netflix's The Residence, and wandering the wilds of Picnic at Hanging Rock to the taut sensuality of Black Bag.
