We're back to round out our Musketeer series with two more entries:

"The Musketeer" (2001) dir. Peter Hyams

"The Three Musketeers" (2011) dir. Paul W.S. Anderson

That's right, the martial arts one and the one with the blimps. Join us as we continue to cover the ever-repeating adventures of Athos, Porthos and Aramis.

We've got another mega-series for you all (despite telling us to stop). Connor, Matt, Peter and Frank are all coming together to discuss four film adapations of Alexandre Dumas' classic adventure novel "The Three Musketeers". In this episode we'll be talking about the following versions:

"The Three Musketeers" (1973) dir. Richard Lester

"The Three Musketeers" (1993) dir. Stephen Herek

Join us as we cover the romances of Athos, Porthos and Aramis as they both swash and buckle their way through the evil Cardinal's clutches. We've got Tim Curry. We've got Christopher Lee. We've got a hungover Oliver Reed.

What more need you?!

We close out this holiday season with a great one. Matt bequeaths Connor with one of the only gifts he knows how to give: science fiction. Do we think this over-memed Nolan holds up after a decade? Listen in between your last minute shopping and figgy pudding boiling to find out! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Gargantua Bless Us, Everyone!

It's Frank's turn to be visited by Santa (this time played by Connor), who's brought a little bit of the old dusty trail to our holiday celebration. Frank and Connor are joined by Matt while they discuss 1985's "Silverado!"

It's a a classic Western about four unlikely heroes—a calm gunfighter (Scott Glenn), a charming drifter (Kevin Kline), a sharpshooting Black cowboy (Danny Glover), and an energetic young gun (Kevin Costner)—who form a bond and team up to fight corruption and tyranny in the frontier town of Silverado, run by a greedy rancher, crooked sheriff, and somehow Jeff Goldblum as a gambling drifter with a wrist gun. It starts with a gunfight. It ends with a gunfight. There are a bunch of gunfights in between. It's a Holiday Classic!

Peter's opening the next holiday gift this season, unwrapping a lovely little 90s adventure film given to him by Frank. Join the two boys as they discuss Stephen Sommers' 1994 live action (and we mean live action) The Jungle Book.

That's right. It's Christmas in India!

The film is based on the Mowgli stories from The Jungle Book (1894) and The Second Jungle Book (1895) by Rudyard Kipling, but mostly focuses on the plotline of the second book.[5] Unlike the books and Walt Disney's 1967 animated adaptation, the animal characters in this film do not talk (a fact we apparently have mixed opinions about).

Let the Great Gifting of 2025 begin! Peter and Matt are holed up by the fire to talk about a cult classic from their youth that, somehow, Matt never caught. Peter's got Lucky Number Slevin all wrapped up and tied with a bow today on No Flicks Given!

Happy Holidays from all of us at No Flicks Given!

This season, we're doing something a little different. This episode's just a little teaser to our Christmas Concept and a preview of the movie's we'll be posting episodes on this December, so be sure to listen so you know what's coming to your feed soon!

We're back for another James Bond retrospective! This time Matt & Frank are joined by Connor, who brought us the OG Bond mission, Dr. No, to talk about. Join us as we tackle 3 films that span decades of espionage!

Dr. No (14:40)

James Bond is sent to Jamaica to investigate the disappearance of a fellow British agent. The trail leads him to the underground base of Dr. No, who is plotting to disrupt an early American space launch from Cape Canaveral with a radio beam weapon.

The Spy Who Loved Me (49:49)

The storyline involves a reclusive megalomaniac named Karl Stromberg who plans to destroy the world and create a new civilisation under the sea. Bond teams up with Soviet agent Anya Amasova to stop Stromberg all while being hunted by Stromberg’s powerful henchman Jaws.

Spectre (1:23:30)

Bond battles Spectre, an international crime organisation led by Ernst Stavro Blofeld

We wrap up our Halloween series with Frank's pick: 1996's The Ghost and the Darkness, where two man-eating lions terrorize workers building a railroad bridge in Kenya in 1898.

Is it local? No.

Is it a cryptid? Not even a little.

But here we are.

At least it's something palatable, which in 2025 is basically a delicacy. Enjoy Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas shooting at lions in Africa for two hours.

And Happy Halloween!
