  • X-Men: Days of Future Past

    Late Nights at Blockbuster

    We're going back to the past in another time travel movie! This week’s Late Nights at Blockbuster continues our Novikov November with the 10th anniversary of X-Men: Days of Future Past. We get to discuss one of the writers, Simon Kinberg, right off the jump as he’s been involved in our favorite and least favorite movies and TV shows of the past 20 years. We talk a lot about Peter breaking Magneto out of the Pentagon as it hits on a lot of our categories. We end with a lengthy discussion, for once, on "whose movie is it?"

    Goofs: Troy incorrectly states that James McAvoy is Irish. He is Scottish, born in Glasgow.

  • Back to the Future Part II

    Late Nights at Blockbuster

    Back to the Future Part II

    Novikov November continues as we hop back into the Delorean with Doc and Marty to head to the future…then back to the present….but it’s the wrong present….so we go back to the past….to make it the right present….but it’s all okay because we get hoverboards out of the whole deal, so it’s completely worth it and not confusing at all. So turn Lithium mode on, undo the power laces on your sneakers, maybe put some money on the Cubbies, and enjoy the ride as we discuss Back to the Future Part II.

    Welcome to Novikov November! All of our podcasts this month will be on movies that heavily feature time travel. We’re going to go back in time starting with the 35th Anniversary of Back to the Future. We’ve got discussion on all your favorite characters: Marty, Doc, Biff, George, and Lorraine. Byers shares a personal experience about skitching from his childhood. We end up having to issue a public apology to Huey Lewis and the News for besmirching their good name.

  • The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1

    Late Nights at Blockbuster

    Our latest edition of Late Nights at Blockbuster is celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. Troy and Byers swapped places throughout this podcast. Troy didn’t make any bones about the fact that he doesn’t like this movie (or the book) but we started this series and we are going to finish it. We talk a lot about splitting the last book in a series into two parts and whether it was necessary here. As always Byers is bringing up a time problem and how it slows down within the bunker.

  • Fight Club

    Late Nights at Blockbuster

    We’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of David Fincher’s Fight Club. We start off with a pretty good PSA on what you are getting yourself into if you’ve never watched Fight Club. Although, if you’ve ever watched Fight Club you know that we aren’t supposed to…talk about Fight Club. We explore all the good, bad, and the ugly for a movie that is extremely divisive. We also have a surprise Top 5 that we tagged onto the end of this episode and we’ll bet that you can’t guess the topic. If you don’t want spoilers for the following movies please stop when we start the Top 5.


    Spoilers for: Unbreakable, Psycho, The Sixth Sense, Frailty, Primal Fear, The Prestige, Memento, and The Usual Suspects

  • Anchorman

    Late Nights at Blockbuster

    Anchorman

    I don’t know if you all know this, but we’re kind of a big

    deal. People know us. We’re very important. We have many leather-bound books and an apartment that smells of rich mahogany. We also have a trident and an exquisite collection of colognes. Ok none of those things are true, but you’ll hear more about all of them in this week’s episode as we talk about Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Stay classy San Diego.
