The Neon Movie Bunker

Neither rain, nor traffic, nor absence of WiFi, shall stay these critics from their appointed rounds. This week, El'Ahrai and John review "Joy Ride" and "Operation Black Ops"! Plus still more Hollywood labor relations talk, and other stuff!  It's not like any mission is gonna be rougher than the last one, is it?

Hey, kids! Guess what time it is! That's right, it's time for the Annual Neon Movie Bunker Half-Year In Review Show! Thrill as John and El'Ahrai enumerate their Top 5 Movies of 2023 So Far (Somehow "Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken" snuck in just under the wire to take the top spot on both lists; don't try to explain it.) Plus! Reviews of "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" and "Bad Girl Boogey"! And, y'know, the other stuff! He'll buy that boat from that stupid boat catalog he's been making me look at for the last two months, and he will crash that boat off Catalina Island, and he will drown and die and seals will eat him!

First of all: yes, we know how we sound. We're working on it. Really. With that out of the way, let's get into the episode! El'Ahrai and John bring you piping-hot reviews of "No Hard Feelings" and "The Blackening"! Hooray! Plus labor relations talk, questions, answers, and more! He has one class in Human Sexuality, and now he's Harvey Milk.

It is a big, beefy episode this week, as John and El'Ahrai have a whole lot to tear into! Most prominent are reviews of "Asteroid City" and "The Flash"! Thre is also a lot of discourse on Hollywood labor practices (yes, including the WGA strike) and the delightfully terrible economics that have us all in their iron grip! Plus home video picks and a bit of bilateral interrogation! So dig in, and enjoy! We seem to have reached the age where life stops giving us things and starts taking them away.

Audio problems be damned, we got a show to get out! This week, El'Ahrai and John review "Sanctuary" and "Brooklyn 45'! Plus still more Hollywood labor relations talk, other newsbits, a couple of questions, and...stuff. News is like a ship. You take your hands off the wheel and it pulls hard to the left.

It's meaty, beaty, big and bouncy--yes, it's this week's show! John and El'Ahrai have returned once more, this time to review "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" and "The Boogeyman"! Plus WGA strike newsbits, musings about ongoing death by captialism, and other fun things. You should listen, then tell your friends! What, because of hats and sunglasses? It's not a disguise, Hank. We look like ourselves at a baseball game.

Despite everything you've done--and don't think we don't know--El'Ahrai and John have returned once more to bring the light of new movie reviews into your lives. This week's subjects are "You Hurt My Feelings" and "Esme, My Love"! (Your secret challenge this week is to identify what multiple Oscar winner-shaped hole one of these films fills.) I never eat. Ever. In fact, I'm dead.

Becuase you've all been very, very good boys and girls and enbys, we have a new episode for you! This week, for their sins, John and El'Ahrai are here to talk to you about "Fast X" and "V/H/S/99"! Plus some WGA Strike news, a bit about the Cannes Film Festival, and all the other weirdness you like. So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.

Wouldn't it be neat if there was a new episode in this space? Well, guess what! We do have a new episode for you! This week, El'Ahrai and John review "BlackBerry" and "Fear"! One of them is highly praised, and the other one is "Fear"! Plus WGA Strike talk, and more! Death is like being pregnant; You're either are or you're not.

Despite all good sense, we're back with another episode! This week, John and El'Ahrai have reviews of "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret" and "65". So, you know, that's something. Plus ongoing WGA strike commentary, and...other stuff. Listen? I've always wanted to make love to an angry welder. I've dreamed of nothing else since I was a small boy.
