Rising Action

AKA, How Marvel Has Changed Filmmaking. Josh is joined by Keenan, one of the hosts of the Comic Blast Podcast to talk about Marvel movies, and how they've changed the game for Hollywood. They each make hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office and have reshaped consumerism for film. It's almost like it was.....inevitable :)

We finally caved, it was past time we talked about the greatest hollywood director of the 2000's, the one and only Christopher Nolan. He's directed films such as the Dark Knight, Inception, Dunkirk, The Prestige, Interstellar and others, and he is about to release his next film, Tenet, sometime in the next 6 months (Hopefully) Enjoy the fanboy episode ladies and gents!

Seth Williams joins Josh on Rising Action to do a deep dive into some of the most influential films in cinema history and explains what each film did to earn its status as a cult film icon.

He's that guy who's about to release a small, tiny, teeny-weeny, indie project you've probably never heard of: Dune. See, I knew you wouldn't know what it was. The Rising Action boys do a deep dive into Denis Villeneuve broh. They talk about his four most notable films, Sicario, Arrival, Prisoners, and BladeRunner 2049. Grab yourself a snack and prepare for the ear-candy.

Broh, animated movies aren't just for kids or for your girlfriends, they're for you too. And Grayson and Josh are here to explain why. Grab some popcorn, or settle your buttcheeks into your car's fresh leather seats; and prepare to have your world turned upside down.

One ring to rule them all, that weird rock in Parasite, the briefcase. They're all Macguffins broh. Grayson and Josh dive into what macguffins are and how they're used in film. 

We all love a good villain. The great ones take a good movie and make it memorable and iconic. We dive into some of our favorite Antagonists in film history and examine what it is about them we so adore. Pop some of that popcorn broh, this is as good as it gets.

This is a long one broh. Get that popcorn ready because your ears are about to  get more crispy story-related goodness than the law allows. How much does the law allow? Less than is in this episode. It's the one Grayson has been wanting to do from the start, so you're in for a treat broh.

Let's take a ride down story lane where on the left we have books and the right movies. Like apples and oranges they both taste fruity but are totally different; or something like that. Stephen King said it first, and much better.

Want to know what's exciting? The new Tenet trailer, that's what. Want to know what John Wick, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Children of Men, and the Matrix have in common? Listen to the episode and find out broh, it might blow your mind.
