  • Surprise early release - Let’s Talk About: Godzilla Minus One
    Since Christmas is on monday, we're dropping this early on friday!
     
    On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're looking at the most recent and utterly fantastic entry to the Godzilla franchise from Toho studios, Godzilla Minus One.
     
    The film has been earning rave reviews, starting some interesting conversations about film making, and is connecting with western and mainstream audiences in ways that no prior Toho Godzilla film has. What makes it so good? How does the human story impact the film? Is it the best film Chris has seen in several years?
     
    The last answer is yes, but still tune in to find out!
     
    We'll be off for the next few weeks and be back in early-mid Jan! To those celebrating, merry Christmas and happy holidays for whichever holiday you are celebrating :)
     
    Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

  • Let’s Talk About: James Bond - The Daniel Craig Era
    On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're reflecting on the most recent era of the James Bond franchise; the Daniel Craig era. Spanning five films between 2006s 'Casino Royale' and 2021s 'No Time To Die', Craigs tenure as Bond saw the franchise go to previously unreached heights.
     
    But was it all successes? Did everything 'work'? Does fan-favourite Skyfall still hold up?
     
    Join us as we dive in and take a look!
     
    Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

  • Superman: Unmade

    On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're diving back into our unmade series and looking at some of the unmade properties involving the big-blue-boy-scout, Superman!

    Which of these should never see the light of day, and which could have been truly dope? Tune in to find out!

    And if you want to hear a hilarious take on one of the unmade versions of it, be sure to check out the classic story from Kevin Smith about his involvement (part 1) (part 2)!

    Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

  • Radio Arcade Episode 29B: Star Wars

    On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're sharing an unreleased section of an episode from our other show, the Radio Arcade Podcast! Midway through our 29th episode (which was looking at Ocarina Of Time and Majora's Mask), Christian and I got off-topic and talked about Star Wars for about 30mins - looking at some of the games, the films, feelings on the sequels, some of the books, and where things could possibly go. We removed it from the episode cause it didn't fit with the main topic (5 min tangent? sure, 30 mins.. harder to justify keeping it in), and Christian was awesome enough to keep the audio for us to share here!

    Also, as we shared in the last ep, we will be taking a break for the next few weeks - the next ep will be on monday November 13th!

    If you liked the episode, please be sure to check out the Radio Arcade Podcast!

    Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

  • Let’s Talk About - Star Wars with Dave Cooke
    On today's episode of One Cross Radio, which has been four years in the making (for real, we just *could not* find a workable time for awhile), we are rejoined by the one and only Dave Cooke, and we're talking Star Wars!
     
    Join us, two life long fans, as we look at some of our favourite aspects of Legends, the current cannon, and our ranking of the films!
     
    Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

  • Make Your Pitch - Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park
    Today's episode is being repurposed from a recent video over on our youtube channel!
     
    So today we're following up on a recent episode of the podcast, and starting a possible new subseries called "Make Your Pitch" (partially inspired by the reboot it channel, credit where it's due). And what better way to kick off this new series than pitching a new version of Jurassic Park that would be a mini series and more faithful to the book?
     
    Join in as we look at the tone of the show, the setting, and the cast. Please remember, this is all in good fun. If you disagree, cool, I'd love to know who you'd cast instead. Let us know in the comments below what you think of our pitch for Jurassic - what your version would be - and what other property you'd personally pitch!
     
    Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

  • Reimagining and Adapting: Godzilla
    On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're kicking off a potential new sub-series!
     
    Using the 1998 Tristar and the 2014 Legendary American 'Godzilla' movies, along with 2016's Shin Godzilla from Toho, we're looking at how you can successfully or unsuccessfully reimagine and adapt a character/property and bring it to a new audience (or time). What makes some work more than others? Does it have to be purely what was there before? Tune in to find out!
     
    Also, be sure to check out 雨蛙amagaeru's dope cover of "Who Will Know" that we used in our intro. The song, and cover, are fantastic. 
     
    Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

  • Where Should They Go?
    On today's episode of One Cross Radio (which may or may not have been decided by a coin toss), we're talking about the importance of franchises/movies needing a plan to continue, and to illustrate we're using the examples of Bond, Jurassic Park, and Halloween.
     
    Now these are three very different franchises, but all are in a similar position currently; all three recently had big story enders, and are in the position of "where do they go from here?".
     
    Explore with us as we look at how these long running franchises could continue, if in the age of IP everything needs to be a franchise, and how things can be easy yet get needlessly complicated.
     
    Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!
