Movie Time Machine : A Retro Movie Review Podcast

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1932, we are taking our time machine back. I mean WAY back. I mean, back to “ancient film history.” Before the MCU, before the franchises of Halloween and Friday the 13th, there was but a single cinematic shared universe: The Universal Monsters. Dracula, The Wolf Man, Frankenstein’s Monster and yes, The Mummy, ruled Hollywood. Boris Karloff is the Chris Evans of the Universal Monsters collective, moonlighting as TWO iconic creatures. Join your hosts Jamie and Chad as they revisit the legend of Karloff’s Imhotep, which they quickly abandon in favor of fixing the modern Universal Monsters’ attempt at a reboot. We finish by ranking our top 5 Monsters. Spoiler alert: Tom Cruise made neither of our lists. Join us!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in the year 2000, we’re off to London. You know: fish, chips, cup o’ tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary Fucking Poppins…LONDON. Join your four hosts Chad, Kris, Casey and Jamie as they revisit Guy Ritchie’s semi-modern classic, Snatch. We try our hardest to keep up with cockney slang, while shopping for a caravan in periwinkle blue. Finishing off with the lists of our top 5 favorite characters and poorly executed British accents, there’s plenty of fun to go around. Cheers! 

Welcome to Movie Time Machine where this week in the year 1990, we revisit the third greatest mob movie of all time: Goodfellas.. As far back as we can remember, your hosts Chad, Kris and Jamie wanted to be gangsters. Join them as they break down the intricacies of Tommy DeVito’s anger issues, Jimmy Conway’s emotional phone booth experience, and Ray Liotta in general. So grab your shine box, and stick around to see which one of us gets made. 

We try to decipher just what exactly Disney might be building with this final film of the trilogy: will it be a highly specialized R2 unit, or something more like a Gonk Droid? Does JJ Abrams value your feelings more than good storytelling? Is Rey a Skywalker? Speculations abound. Join us!
