MoDXtra Talks TV & Movies

A nerd entertainment podcast made by two man-children; the latest episode of ModXtra podcast loveliness is here for your listening pleasure.

Chris & Andy return with more nerd-y chat: talking about the Movies, TV, games, and comic books that keep these two man-children entertained.

We open up as usual re-treading our last two weeks, sharing the selection of films, TV shows, comic books and novels, new or old, that we’ve been getting into lately. We’ve been getting into some new stuff on our favourite streaming services, so you might find a decent recommendation for your tastes.

Then its onto our regular “Retro Movie Review”. In this review we’re taking a look at the 90s movie John Woo actioner Face Off. It’s all about the double pistols, flowing jackets and the doves this time around!

All that, and Andy discusses why big end of season cliff hangers suck…

Its just one featured segment this week: our regular “Retro Movie Review”. In this review we’re taking a look at the Martin Scorsese classic Goodfellas. It’s a BIG movie to be talking about this week – a “proper film” if you will. Listen to hear Chris & Andy’s thoughts on this epically popular movie considered on the pinnacle of mafia films.

All that, and Andy discusses some flaws with con air…

All that, and Andy tells DC what's what...

We open up as usual re-treading our last two weeks, sharing the selection of films, TV shows, comic books and novels, new or old, that we’ve been getting into lately. Andy’s had a pretty quiet one this last fortnight, but Chris has been getting nice & grim with some heavy-going TV shows, so has some good recommendations for folks who like their TV shows depressing.

Our first feature segment is our regular retro movie re-watch. In this instalment we are taking a closer look at the modern sci-fi with a Western twist Serenity. Listen to hear the lad’s thoughts on Malcolm Reynolds, how scary the Reavers are, and whether it lived up to the legacy of the short-lived Firefly TV show.

Then we move onto our second feature segment, now titled the “let’s list things” segment. Our lists this week are War Movies. We’ll answer what our top war flicks are and why, as well as some additional, brief debate on what actually qualifies as a war movie, and why are there so many repeat actors in them?

We open up as usual re-treading our last two weeks, sharing the selection of films, TV shows, comic books and novels, new or old, that we’ve been getting into lately. After rambling on for far too long last episode we promise we kept this one much tighter.

Our first feature segment is our regular retro movie re-watch. In this instalment we are taking a look at the 80s mockumentary This is Spinal Tap. Chris adores this film, but Andy has never seen it before, so listen to find out how he feels about seeing it for the first time.

Then we move onto our second feature segment, which is talking all about our favourite TV theme songs. Chris & Andy name their top 5 tunes each. How predictable are their choices?

MoDX 2:

A nerd entertainment podcast made by two man-children; the latest episode of ModXtra podcast loveliness is here for your listening pleasure.

We open up as usual re-treading our last two weeks, sharing the selection of films, TV shows, comic books and novels, new or old, that we’ve been getting into lately. Andy’s been consuming A LOT of media and takes his good ol’ time sharing it. Chris has chipped away at a little nerdy telly while he’s been on holiday.

Our first feature segment is our regular retro movie re-watch. In this instalment we are taking a closer look at the modern comedy classic Dodgeball. We bot featured this film in our Top 100 movies segment a few episodes back, so listen to hear why Dodgeball has made such an impression on the lads.

Then we move onto our second feature segment, which is actually a second movie review. We’ve been discussing non-fiction content lately, and Andy hasn’t seen many documentary movies, so we’re giving one a go. The film in question is Three Identical Strangers, an insane true story that has to be seen to be believed.

We open up with our usual re-treading our last two weeks, sharing the selection of films, TV shows, comic books and novels, new or old, that we’ve been getting into lately. It’s only been a week since recording, but these screen-addicts have both still managed to consume a ridiculous amount of nerdy entertainment to discuss, recommend or wave you off.

Our first feature segment is our regular retro movie re-watch. In this instalment we are taking a closer look at Cameron Crowe’s rock & roll, coming of age classic Almost Famous. Chris, being an aging classic rock fan, is clearly going to be all over this one, but where’s Andy at?

Then we move onto our second feature segment, once again some kind of ill-defined debate-y, list-y thing somehow related to our status as man-child entertainment nerd. This week it’s reality shows – the lads present a list of 3 a piece of their favourite non-fiction TV shows. It’s an… interesting… mix. 😉

We open with our usual review of nerd TV & movie consumption by the lads over the last two weeks. Listen to hear our Movie, TV, Novels, and Comic book recommendations from our nerd-tainment over the last 2 weeks. Some old, some new, but all commented upon.

Then its onto our retro movie re-watch segment. This episode we are discussing Christopher Nolan’s intriguing movie thriller Memento. We’ll get under the skin of what makes this movie so popular with cinephiles, but also explore its general appeal.

Our second feature segment is all about movie vehicles. We’re back once again with another classic MoD list (god we love making lists) describing 5 of our favourite fictional vehicles from film, TV and Comic books.

Then its onto to the first feature segment in our “Retro Movie Corner” in which we re-visit the James Cameron 90s action spectacular Terminator 2: Judgement Day. How does the sequel fit with the original Terminator movie? Does it stand the test of time? What scenes affected us the most? And is Timmy's mullet the best element of the movie? All this and more in our “Retro Movie Corner” review.

Our second feature segment is all about fictional gadgets & gizmos. Chris & Andy give their lists of 3 things from movies & TV they wish were real and in their lives.
