The Film Thugs Movie Show

We continue our hit streak with some Hitchcock related horror... Oz Perkins, son of Anthony, really knocks it out of the park with this unsettling little gem that is a refreshing entry from a director with an incredible sense of story and tension, and an even better eye.

Seriously. Episode titles have to be 5 characters. 

A title so simple that Podbean doesn't recognize it, but GOD DAMN... does it ever deliver on that name.

Is it possible for a movie to overcome "Marvel Fatigue?"

We have seen it all, and now the hole multi-verse thing... seriously, it's exhausting.

So, let us see how the boys handle it.

Some movies are just so good that, if you meet someone who dislikes it... you blame them for not liking it, because it cannot possibly be the fault of this wonderful, engaging, dare I say "perfect," movie.

His resume is almost cartoonishly good, and his influence on the craft of screen writing cannot be measured.

Actors "trying their hand at directing," tend to have one of three outcomes. 

"Yeah... I expected that crap."

"Wow, that was pretty good."

"Holy shit! What is this person dong next?"

Monkey Man is the third type. The story is lean. The action is brutal. The camerawork is stunning. 

Let's see what else there is to say about, "Monkey Man."

Let's find out, shall we?

Is this possibly the best Godzilla movie ever made?

Probably. Find out why.

How do you make  a completely episodic TV show into a good movie? We have been grappling with this question with VASTLY varying degrees of success. Some are amazing, most are forgettable, some are abhorrent.

So... where does The Fall Guy stand? Well... let's find out.

What happens when you have an idea so bad that it simply cannot be told in a movie?

Well... evidently, you make two movies.

This time out we take a look at the collection of questionable decisions that is... Rebel Moon.
