May 05, 2021 18:08 - 1 hour - 127 MBWith the Terminator series behind us, we head back to a galaxy far, far away to catch up on the second season of The Mandalorian. In this episode we talk about the first four Chapters of Season 2. Another excellent season of Star Wars television that might even improve on the first one.
Terminator: Dark Fate
April 19, 2021 23:29 - 1 hour - 141 MBThis week we wrap up our exploration of the Terminator series with Tim Miller's Dark Fate. While its the best film in the series since Judgement Day, does that mean its actually a great addition, or is it damning with faint praise?
Terminator: Genesys
March 23, 2021 22:58 - 1 hour - 126 MBGabe and James try and make sense of Alan Taylor's to reboot the series. Genesys is a messy and bland film that fails to capture what's great about the series at nearly every point.
Terminator: Salvation
March 09, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBWe head into the future war to talk about McG's addition to the series. While Salvation brings impressive visuals and excellent action, it suffers in the substance department.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
February 22, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 110 MBGabe and James discuss about the third Terminator film. A definite step down for the series, despite a few stand-out elements.
Top 10 Films of 2020
February 09, 2021 22:18 - 2 hours - 188 MBGabe and James take a quick break from the Terminator series to talk about the films of 2020. A rather disappointing year for movies. But there are still some wonderful gems that are well worth celebrating.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
January 19, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 160 MBGabe and James talk about one of the greatest action films of all time. Quite possibly James Cameron's magnum opus, Judgement Day is every bit as entertaining and mind-blowing today as the day it was released.
The Terminator
December 30, 2020 00:18 - 1 hour - 116 MBWe start a new franchise with James Cameron's ground-breaking Sci-Fi action thriller, The Terminator. While its sequel tends to dominate the conversation, this tight, brutal low-budget actioner still delivers on every level today.
Jason Bourne
December 10, 2020 20:50 - 1 hour - 96.8 MBWe wrap up our journey through the Bourne series with the highly anticipated and equally disappointing return of Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass to the franchise.
The Bourne Legacy
November 23, 2020 15:53 - 1 hour - 104 MBGabe and James record in person to discuss the ill-fated attempt to spin off the Bourne series with Jeremy Renner. A film that is not without its qualities, The Bourne Legacy nonetheless fails to capture what made previous entries so unique and exciting.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
November 11, 2020 03:31 - 23 minutes - 32.8 MBJames made Gabe watch one of his favorite horror films.
The Exorcist
November 03, 2020 21:47 - 29 minutes - 40.9 MBGabe and James get together in person to talk about one of the greatest horror films of all time. And as usual for our show, the October horror reviews are going up in November!
The Bourne Ultimatum
October 20, 2020 21:41 - 1 hour - 143 MBThis week we talk about the original finale for the Bourne Trilogy. The Bourne Ultimatum is an exhilarating action film that takes everything we love about the series and brings it to the next level.
The Bourne Supremacy
October 08, 2020 20:40 - 1 hour - 156 MBIn this episode we are again joined by our friend Sam Dodson to talk about Paul Greengrass' introduction to mainstream audiences with the 2nd chapter of the Bourne saga. The Bourne Supremacy is a focused and relentless thriller that has kept its edge over the years, despite constant bad imitations of its signature style.
The Bourne Identity
September 24, 2020 05:16 - 1 hour - 128 MBThis week we begin exploring one of the most influential action franchise of the 2000s. Doug Liman's The Bourne Identity is a fantastic thriller that added a whole new level of realism and intensity to the genre.
