On this week’s episode, we’re taking the show back to Franchise Town as we chat about the solid-ish sci-fi sequel/prequel/in-between-quel, Alien: Romulus! How incredible are all the ship and planetary designs in this film? Should they have kept the entire story on the mining colony and had the xenos just chasing them down there? How great is David Jonsson in this film, portraying both Andy and Upgraded Andy? Is Bjorn the most annoying character in the entire franchise? And yeah, this Ian Holm decision is truly repugnant! PLUS: Lotta Alien: Resurrection in here, folks!

Alien: Romulus stars Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, Aileen Wu, and Robert Bobroczkyi as Offspring; directed by Fede Álvarez.

On this episode, we’re having an absolute blast chatting about the outrageously fun revenge flick, The Beekeeper! First off, is this the best Jason Statham Movie™️? Did we really need these very bad and uninteresting F.B.I. characters? Can every Statham revenge movie feature at least one scene where he’s beating the crap out of tech bros? And how about that spectacular dummy work? PLUS: Rest in Peace, Marvin the Bee!

The Beekeeper stars Jason Statham, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Josh Hutcherson, Bobby Naderi, Minnie Driver, David Witts, Taylor James, Jemma Redgrave, Phylicia Rashād, and Jeremy Irons as Wallace Westwyld (lol); directed by David Ayer.

On the first episode of 2025, we’re kicking off a month of talking about movies we saw last year— good, bad and otherwise— and it all starts with, you guessed it, Madame Web! Why is every single performance in this film so stiff? How are so many previous draft ideas still stuck in the final product? Why can’t these girls get their powers in this movie so something can actually happen? And in this movie, seriously asking here, is Cassie Webb supposed to be an actual space alien? PLUS: A baby shower is never just a BBQ, folks!

Madame Web stars Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, Emma Roberts, Adam Scott, Kerry Bishé, and Mike Epps as O’Neil; directed by S.J. Clarkson.

On our final episode of 2024, we welcome Stuart Wellington of The Flophouse podcast on the show to chat about the fairly fun holiday slasher, New Year’s Evil! How great are these long-forgotten bands playing on stage? Would you watch this sleazy, locally broadcast New Year’s Eve special? How funny is this killer trying to juggle all his audio equipment in that phone booth? Could our Mr. Evil have looked around for a more believable fake mustache? Was there ever a more handsome 80s slasher than this fella? And when did this guy become an elevator expert? PLUS: Hey, Happy New Year! 

New Year’s Evil stars Roz Kelly, Kip Niven, Chris Wallace, Grant Cramer, Louisas Moritz, Jed Mills, Anita Crane, and Taaffe O’Connell as Jane; directed by Emmett Alston.

On this special Christmas Eve episode, we’re chatting about the silly Christmas cult fave, Ernest Saves Christmas! Why did this old Santa wait so long to give up his Santa power? What’s with Ernest hiding that “Keep the CHRIST in Christmas” bumper sticker in his glove box? Should Ernest even have a driver’s license? Is Santa sad over the fact his home country of Prussia dissolved in the late 1940s? And should this teen girl really be sleeping over at Ernest’s bungalow? PLUS: Ernest criticizes the Jedi’s bad human trafficking habits! 

Ernest Saves Christmas stars Jim Varney, Oliver Clark, Noelle Parker, Gailard Sartain, Billie Bird, Bill Byrge, Robert Lesser, and Douglas Seale as Santa; directed by John Cherry.

On the winter finale of On-Screen Live, we're reviewing a couple of films before hibernating for a few weeks, including the latest Spider-Man Villain-Led Who-Asked-For-This-? film, Kraven the Hunter, and the straight-to-Netflix, airport-set holiday thriller, Carry-On! We're also going over the weekend box office, reacting to the trailer for Novocaine starring Jack Quaid, and more!

On this week’s holiday episode, we’re chatting about the Christmas snooze, The Holiday! Is this considered a Christmas classic? Why couldn’t we just have one of these storylines instead of both of them vying for movie supremacy? How little romantic chemistry do Kate Winslet and Jack Black have with one another? Besides The Talented Mr. Ripley, has Jude Law been any more handsome than this movie? Why did Nancy Meyers put so little detail and conflict in this screenplay? How humiliating is it when they make Kate Winslet do all that Jack Black-style scatting? PLUS: The guys wish to party with the great Hans Zimmer after one of his big-ass rock concerts! 

The Holiday stars Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black, Edward Burns, Rufus Sewell, Shannyn Sossamon, Bill Macy, Shelley Berman, Kathryn Hahn, John Krasinski, and Eli Wallach as Arthur; directed by Nancy Meyers.
