The Post Credit Podcast

Join The PCP this week as we discuss The Fifth Element and all of its allegories as well as Milla Jovovich's breakout role as Leeloo and, perhaps, Bruce Willis' last portrayal as a 'somewhat' Everyman. The Fifth Element, another powerful-female-driven tale to join director Luc Besson's other notable films like Lucy, The Professional and Nikita, is the tale of a perfect being, capable of saving humanity, though the evidence piles around her that it may not be worth saving.

On this episode of The Post Credit Podcast, Matt and Drew give up on writing the synopsis in a beat poet fashion because as easy as it seems, it's harder than you think. Join the PCP as we break down this cult classic that got lost between 2 Wayne's World films and left far in the dust by the ludicrous success of Austin Powers. The movie, filled with quotable lines and the impeccably on-point Mike Myers, serves as a Rom-Com with a twist as Myers bounces between deadpan neurosis and manic giddiness, perfecting his shtick before he blasted off into stardom. Guaranteed you'll be laughing before you can say "We have a piper down!"

**Explicit** Sometimes, terrible horror movies can be the best fun. Such is the case with this episode's subject, 13 Ghosts. Real life final girls Elicia and Gen from the Horror N Heels podcast join Matt and Drew to discuss the 2001 movie starring Matthew Lillard as well as the rules we learned last week on our episode about the Scream franchise. Questions remain, however: Will Elicia finally start watching Doctor Who? Will Matt and Drew try to discover if Craig's List prostitutes is a real thing(for research)? Will Gen be slowly and methodically stalked by and meet her end at the legs of a vengeful spider?! Listen in to discover none of the answers on this episode of The PCP!

Welcome to Season 2! Kicking off the new season, Matt and Drew discuss the entire Scream franchise in this EXTRA LONG episode of The Post Credit Podcast. Join us as we dive into the lore and the tropes that Scream, the self-aware film from Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson, made fresh and new as these horror whodunnits laid the groundwork and blueprints for most that followed after. With all the great twists and characters that fill these films there's only one question left to ask: What's your favorite scary movie?

Join us for our Season 1 finale as we break down the movie 300 with Special Guest Ryan Conley. The movie 300 definitely favored style over historical accuracy and on this episode The PCP explores the inaccuracies in it as well as all the many differences between not only the movie and the historical events it depicts but the differences between movies today and back in 2006. These particular differences are explored even further as we wrap up season 1 discussing the state of society and what we could all be doing to better understand and love each other. So grab your, well you know, and let's break it down on The Post Credit Podcast!

Join The Post Credit Podcast as we show it down with all the real-life characters, locations, and events that inspired two films to compete at the box office for the definitive tale of Wyatt Earp and the most storied days of his life. Tombstone, the undeniable winner of that face off, concentrates on Earp's time in the titular town as he faces family tragedy, his lunger gunslinging friend, and the most notorious shoot-out in Wild West history. The PCP breaks down all the characters, events and comparisons as well as looking at Kurt Russell's guiding hand in making this movie happen.

On this episode of The Post Credit Podcast, Matt and Drew are giving their report on the history of Bill and Ted and all the adventures, journeys, travels and music that come with it. Join The PCP as we discuss the excellent execution of their debut, the bogus romp their second time around that was literally only saved by Death, and the serviceable effort of the latest showing, Face The Music, a film that makes us just happy to see these characters again. Give this most gnarly of an episode a listen and we'll 'catch ya later dude'!

In 1987 Joel Schumacher revolutionized vampire movies with his hit The Lost Boys. On this episode of The Post Credit Podcast, we reminisce, remember, and re-examine the impact this classic has had on the future of vampires in movies and on television as we discuss the perfectly casted actors involved and why it was almost a completely different cast altogether. Join the PCP as we break down the story of a small family that moves to the murder capital of the world, only to discover its even more sinister than they could've imagined. But don't pull the blankets over your head and unplug your ears because this movie made a creepy vampire story fun and with the constant theme of Cry Little Sister laced throughout the runtime, you're sure to walk away with plenty of quotable lines and a catchy tune that gets stuck in your head. "You better get yourself a garlic T-shirt buddy!.. or it's your funeral."

The nostalgia for the 80's has recently erupted into our current pop culture zeitgeist and one of the poster movies for that decade is none other than Karate Kid. On this episode of The Post Credit Podcast Matt and Drew dig into Cobra Kai, the YouTube (and soon to be Netflix) hit that follows the lives of the arch-enemies from the 1984 movie, Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso, 36 years after they had their epic showdown at the All-Valley Karate tournament. Cobra Kai picks up with Johnny, now in his 50's and suffering from all the bad choices he's made in life until one bullied teenager looks to Johnny as a mentor as his idolization of Johnny's no BS attitude slowly forms a friendship that encourages Johnny to reopen the Cobra Kai dojo and begin training a whole new generation of Cobra Warriors. In this episode, the PCP discusses all the nostalgia, drama, music, fights, and character depth the show can pack into each episode and how you'll consume these episodes faster than a plate of hard-shell POLO tacos. Revisit the world of Johnny, Daniel, Miyagi and Kreese as the show's excellent writing and execution makes it the best around!

The Karate Kid was a hit when it came out in 1984, so much so that it has inspired 2 sequels, a spinoff movie, a spinoff tv show and a reboot. Skip the reboot though. On this episode of The Post Credit Podcast, hosts Matt and Drew discuss these movies and their relevance to the relatively new YouTube show Cobra Kai, as well as discussing what angles this movie has been viewed from concerning who is the true protagonist and who is the antagonist. It it Johnny? Daniel? Miyagi himself? One thing's for sure: Daniel can't keep a girlfriend to save his life. Join the PCP as we discuss all the greats from these movies including soundtrack choices, illegal crane kicks, the lack of explanation of the drum technique, and of course, grown adults playing 15 year-olds.
