This week, we mark the beginning of summer by diving into our Top 25 Summer Blockbusters. Whether it was the release of Jaws in 1975 or Star Wars in 1977, there’s no denying that these two iconic films with their big budgets, significant returns, marketing, and merchandising started it all for what we’ve come to know as the “summer blockbuster.” Since then, we’ve seen some of the top-grossing movies of all time follow this seasonal release schedule and moviegoers coming out in droves to watch them. What makes the list of our favorite summer blockbusters? Listen and find out!

The post 129: Goodfellas appeared first on The Cinematic Reel.

Don’t take yourself too seriously this week. We’re back with a new episode dedicated to Joel Schumacher’s classic, Batman & Robin. It’s likely the most infamous comic book movie of all time, one that stopped production on the Bat as we wouldn’t see another Batman film for another 8 years.

Despite its narrative failures, it does provide fun entertainment and classic puns you won’t forget. Sit back, relax and listen with us as we explore the glory of Batman & Robin.

The post 128: Batman & Robin appeared first on The Cinematic Reel.

Cowabunga! This week, we celebrate 30 years of our favorite heroes in a half shell –  the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Since their comic book debut in 1984, Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael, have been present for every generation.

Turtlemania continues to be alive and well as our favorite reptilian heroes have embedded themselves into popular culture with six theatrical films, five TV series, an animated crossover with Batman, a slew of video games and countless comic book appearances.

Steve Barron’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is thus far the best onscreen translation of the heroes. It’s more than childhood nostalgia that makes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles such a beloved film and Dave, Leo and Ryan tell you why this week.
