On today’s show, we are turning on the radio, stepping into the 1930s, and talking about The Shadow from 1994.

On today's episode, we are talking about The Island. Michael Bay’s 2005 sci-fi action movie features evil corporations, scientists playing God, car chases, and crashes. The Island was written by Caspian Tredwell-Owen, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci and was directed by Michael Bay. This film stars Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson, Djimon Hounsou, and Sean Bean. 

And for this week's question, we are asking: what upcoming movie are you looking forward to?

On this episode, we are talking about The Bikeriders. The Bikeriders came out this year, 2024, and was directed by Jeff Nichols and written by Jeff Nichols and Danny Lyon. This film stars Autin Butler, Tom Hardy, Jodie Cramer, and a long list of other amazing actors like Michal Shannon, Norman Reedus, and Mike Feist. The Bikeriders is based on a collection of photographs and interviews of a Midwest motorcycle club that Danny Lyon put into a book that was first published in 1968. Jeff Nichols was first introduced to this book by his brother Ben Nichols of Lucero, who also wrote a song called Bikeriders about the same group of folks.

On this episode of The Not Ticket Podcast, we are joined by our friend Jacob Balcom, one of the hosts of the podcasts Bronze-Age Monsters and On The Funny Podcast. Jacob picked this week's movie and did not disappoint with The Wicker Man from 1973!

And with this week’s question, we ask: Being halfway through the year, what is your favorite movie so far?

On today’s show, another debut feature film. This time from a pride of New Jersey, Kevin Smith! Today, we are talking about Clerks, Kevin Smith’s 1994 first film, which he made after leaving film school in Canada. Clerks, stars Brian O’Holloran, Jeff Anderson, and Marilyn Ghigliotti, with Jason Mews and Kevin Smith himself, as Jay and Silent Bob.

And this being Kevin Smith’s first movie - this week's question is: What is your favorite debut film from a director?

On today’s show, James Gunn’s 2006 debut feature film, Slither! Staring, Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, and Michael Rooker. This body horror and zombie classic film sits high up in the horror-comedy genre with the likes of Shaun Of The Dead, American Werewolf In London (but maybe closer to In Paris), and our recent topic of conversation Planet Terror.

And because James Gunn is known for writing scripts with a playlist in mind, this week's question we ask: what would be the soundtrack to a film we make?

On today’s show, we talk about a film that is as much a throwback to double-features and grindhouse cinema of the 70s as it is a solidly contemporary aughts film - Grindhouse! A collection of 2 films: Planet Terror by Robert Rodriguez and Death Proof by Quentin Tarantino. And to keep up with the theme of sitting in a movie theater watching back-to-back flicks, they have trailers directed by folks like Eli Roth, Edger Wright, and Rob Zombie, with a gallery of whos-whos from the regular cast of characters that often grace these creatives films. 

And this week's question we ask: Out of the two remaining trailers to not be made into a movie which one would you like to see made into a feature?

On today’s show, we are talking about the 2011 small-town kids with walkie-talkies vs. outer space creatures and government-coverup film, Super 8. Written and directed by J.J. Abrams - starring Elle Fanning, Joel Courtney, and Kyle Chandler. This is Abrams' ode to Stephen Spielberg and movies like The Goonies, and E.T.. And with this week's question, we’ll talk about - who we think would be a good pick to remake this movie. But first, Quentin Tarantino is no longer making his most recent film, “The Movie Critic” as his last movie.
