As the year comes to a close in some pretty challenging circumstances, we wanted to take this opportunity to gather together with our friends and talk about the things that made this year on film and TV a happy place to be! Each of us will bring our top film and top TV show to the party, and we even hear from you our beloved listeners too!

Jill, Dion, Quinny and Peta are all in for the episode… and they would all like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season, even amongst these difficult times.

It’s time for TWIN PETE’s!!! Is this a long running semi-horror-based series set in a bizarre small town in the mountainous areas of America, where a disappearance leads to bizarre occurrences? NO! it’s something much sillier! You know those weird twin films where the exact same idea is committed to celluloid at basically the exact same time? Well we are digging deep and talking about them: Is it Megamind of Despicable Me? Volcano or Dante’s Peak? and the all-time classic; Armageddon or Deep impact?

The whole team is in for this show and we have SO many movies to talk about!

https://youtu.be/6cQRHqPkJhc

Here’s the whole list of the films too, so you can follow along at home!

A huge thank you to all the twins who join each episode of the show, especially those of you and you… who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!). If you haven’t done so before join the weekly zoom chat (on twitch) next week for our live show!

Is this, the second Act (don’t call it a sequel!) to Wicked (the smash hit musical of last year), a magical tour de force, or a misanthropical tour de farce? Does the film version of everything post intermission overcome some of the inherent issues of the stage show and elevate the material to defy gravity? Or is it all a sham waiting to be doused in water and melt away to nothing? We are here to check out if this Ozian festivating is 100% ozmapolitan or confusifying and disgustificating!

It’s Wizardly Dion, Jill the good, and Quinny the cowardly lion with special guest Ardella (of Kansas)!

Now demonized as the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba lives in exile in the Ozian forest, while Glinda resides at the palace in Emerald City, reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, she’ll need to reunite with Glinda to transform herself, and all of Oz, for good.

In the late 70’s Stephen King was still a ways away from being a household name; he had released Carrie, Salem’s Lot and The Shining and his star was certainly on the rise… but he wanted more. That “more” came in the form of a pen-name that would allow him to try different ways of telling stories: Richard Bachman. Under this name he wrote 4 novels from 1977 to 1982 before his ruse was discovered.

This podcast we are reviewing the adaptations of two of those books; The Long Walk from 1979 and The Running Man from 1982. This is the second attempt at an adaptation of The Running Man and this one contains almost 98% less Arnold Schwarzenegger.  Are they trudging to the finish line or do they barrel along at a breakneck pace?

Join in with Dion, Jill and Quinny for their rambling and occasionally sprinting thoughts on these two thematically similar but structurally opposite films.

In the near future, “The Running Man” is the top-rated show on television, a deadly competition where contestants must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins. Desperate for money to save his sick daughter, Ben Richards is convinced by the show’s ruthless producer to enter the game as a last resort. Ratings soon skyrocket as Ben’s defiance, instincts and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite, as well as a threat to the entire system.

Teens participate in a gruelling high-stakes contest where they must continuously walk or be shot by a member of their military escort.

The long and storied history of Frankestein and his monstrous creation has been a staple of the cinema landscape since the very beginnings of film. We have seen so many adaptations and interpretations of the Frankenstein monster that some have burned into our psyche in an almost archetypal fashion. From Mary Shelley’s initial creation to today we have seen the monster take a front seat, while the original ideas and meanings have been more and more confused. So how does a creator explore the classic horror story and find something new? with great difficulty if “I Frankenstein” is anything to go by. Well if anyone can do it and do it well, it’s our man Guillermo Del Toro!

In this review, Dion is the mad scientist, Jill the voice of reason and caring in a cold heartless world…and Quinny is of course the simple creation: The monster whose origins are born from scientific folly and not from human kindness.

A brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a monstrous creature to life in a daring experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.

The Predator franchise has been long and incredibly varied in it’s scope and quality. From the very first film which was, lets be fair, a macho man monster movie… to the ongoing saga that has been explored in Comics, Games, Movies and animation. The character of the Predator has crossed over with a massive range of other IP’s from Batman and Judge Dredd to Archie (?!) and even the ENTIRE MARVEL UNIVERSE… But thus far we’ve never seen them as anything other than an antagonist.

Well all that is about to change in Predator Badlands! Young Yautja hunter Dek is ready to take on the most deadly planet in the galaxy to prove himself to his family. He is going to need to learn a lot about working together with others to survive.

Dion, Jill and Quinny are the Predators in this review, and they are hunting down a great film!

Cast out from its clan, an alien hunter and an unlikely ally embark on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.

Is this your Lucha Libre inspired high flying, wrestling based adventure comedy film? NO! … it’s NACHO comedy film! not… your… nacho. get it? Ugh.

From the mind of Director Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Minecraft) comes the story of Ignacio; friar, cook, and secret lucha wrestler. Jack Black stars in this 2006 comedy. And with the unnecessary fart noise of Nacho Libre ringing in our ears, we bid a fond farewell to wrestle-tober; a month where we all learned something and that wrestling films are the friends we body slammed along the way. So now it’s wrapped up just in time for the Spooky season of halloween to sneak on in, for a bit of fun to round out the month.

The whole wrestling team is in this episode, and even though they are all wearing lucha masks… you can tell who is who.

Ignacio (Jack Black), or Nacho to his friends, works as a cook in the Mexican monastery where he grew up. The monastery is home to a host of orphans whom Nacho cares for deeply, but there is not much money to feed them properly. Nacho decides to raise money for the children by moonlighting as a Lucha Libre wrestler with his partner Esqueleto (Héctor Jiménez), but since the church forbids Lucha, Nacho must disguise his identity.

The Von Erich family has been a staple of the wrestling world for decades, and their legacy (and possible curse) form the backbone of this intense drama. The Iron Claw: It’s another laugh-a-minute episode of Wrestling related fun and games for Wrestle-tober! (Thanks Jill!) Come for the muscle-bound men in tight pants. Stay for the intense emotional whiplash and incredible hair-dos.

The whole team is in the ring for this one, so come and grab the belt, if you dare!

Tells the story of the Von Erich brothers as they make history in the highly competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s. Through tragedy and triumph, the brothers seek larger-than-life immortality on the biggest stage in sports.
