Script or Screen

Wolves, lions, stags and dragons, all great houses fighting for control of the Seven Kingdoms. In a world where seasons can last for years and the rivers run red with blood spilled in war, there can only be one winner. It’s been a whole decade since Game of Thrones first came out, so on this episode of Script or Screen, Chris and Zach dive into the first season of this award-winning fantasy epic.

What’s a king to a god? These two titans of the silver screen are going at it in this 2021 action spectacle, and Chris and Zach have front row seats to the main event. You can’t tell me that a giant gorilla fighting a radioactive dinosaur with thunder thighs isn’t exactly the kind of wakeup call we needed during this pandemic. So, grab a seat and watch out for flying debris. It’s Godzilla vs Kong on this episode of Script or Screen!

With award’s season in full swing, Chris and Zach take a look at some of this year’s Oscar nominees: Trial of the Chicago 7, Minari, Mank, Nomadland, Sound of Metal and Ma Rainy’s Black Bottom. In a year full to bursting with exceptional films, which of these is most deserving of the coveted award for Best Picture?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is back in business with a unique series that kicks off Phase 4: Wandavision! Chris and Zach breakdown this first season from Disney+, which sees the struggles to regain a normal life by members of the Avengers, Wanda and Vision (go figure!). But has rampant fan speculation and theorizing gone too far this time?

On this episode of Script or Screen, Chris and Zach go back to an old favorite, the world of Avatar for the second season of The Legend of Korra. But with Book 2 offering some less than good writing decisions, is there anything here worth enjoying? And could there have been a better way for events to play out? Tune in and find out!

2020’s Minari, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, is a film with lots of big questions on its mind. Is the American Dream truly attainable? What is a man’s pride worth against the welfare of his family? What kind of behavior is expected of different family members? And is Mountain Dew really the best drink in the world? Chris and Zach sit down with this award-winning film to see if they can answer these questions on this episode of Script or Screen.

For this episode of Script or Screen, we have maybe the most Nicolas Cage film in cinema history – 2018’s Mandy. Join Chris and Zach as they talk about this wild, artistic and uncompromisingly violent picture about the extreme lengths a person will go to avenge a loved one. Just the coziest comfort film to share on Valentine’s Day!

Returning to the chronicles of Din Djarin and the Child, Chris and Zach sit down to talk about the sophomore season of Disney+’s The Mandalorian. Tune in as they detail what worked and what was lacking in this follow up to the 2019 smash hit and where they’d like to see it go from here, as well as where and when fan service goes too far.

On this episode of Script or Screen, Chris and Zach emerge from their dens, but will they see their shadows? Just in time for Groundhog Day, we have the Bill Murray movie of the same name. They boys delve into this high concept comedic classic and the legacy it’s left behind. With Edge of Tomorrow, Happy Death Day and last year’s Palm Springs, what is it about the time loop story that works so well?
