Media Ghouls Episode 249- Top 5 Zelda Games

July 08, 2022 05:30 - 1 hour - 103 MB

Justin and Ian are back this week for some catching up in this episode of Media Ghouls. The guys start things off by sharing their thoughts on the latest releases from both the Jurassic Park and Star Wars series. While thoughts are mixed, the Ghouls do their best to give a fair assessment of the state of these legacy franchises. After that, they discuss one of the most well regarded video game franchises of all time: The Legend of Zelda. Thoughts and emotions run high when it comes to the man...

Media Ghouls Episode 248- Tangled

June 17, 2022 15:20 - 1 hour - 94.6 MB

This week the Ghouls are back with their retrospective on Disney’s Tangled! After multiple missteps with CG animation, Disney finally found their groove with this 2010 release. Taking just enough from classic Disney princesses and the modern sensibilities that Shrek popularized, Tangled and its memorable cast have become an enduring favorite. Despite this, Ian has never seen it before. What’s worse is Nando has somehow forgotten that he first saw this film with his wife. Emelynn wastes no tim...

Media Ghouls Episode 247- Toy Story 3

May 10, 2022 04:47 - 1 hour - 99.6 MB

The Ghouls return this week with their newest Disney episode covering the lauded Toy Story 3. After over a decade since the second film's release, anticipation was high for Pixar's return to their much-beloved original franchise. Many of the kids who were there for the original film were now adults, and the team at Pixar used this fact to make one of their most emotionally resonant films. In this episode, the Ghouls discuss some Andy theories, Ian spends some time dissing the choices of Toy S...

Media Ghouls Episode 246- Drag Me To Hell

April 08, 2022 05:53 - 1 hour - 89 MB

With Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness fast approaching, the Ghouls take this opportunity to explore another one of Sam Raimi's theatrical outings in their review of Drag Me To Hell. This horror film with Raimi's trademark humor follows Christine after she is cursed to be tormented by a demon for three days before her death. Christine is unlike many horror protagonists in that it is debatable whether or not she should get what's coming to her. Ian and Justin discuss the multiple offens...

Media Ghouls Episode 245- The Princess and the Frog

March 25, 2022 06:00 - 2 hours - 106 MB

In 2009, Walt Disney Animation Studios returned to 2D animation with The Princess and the Frog. All of the Ghouls welcomed this return to form after the likes of Chicken Little and Bolt had dampened their enthusiasm for Disney's releases. Does this tale of magical transformations and budding romance hold up after all of these years or were all of us '90s kids just nostalgic for the Disney style of our youth? Justin, Ian, Nando, and Emelynn all lean toward the positive but there are plenty of ...

Media Ghouls Episode 244- Leprechaun in the Hood

March 11, 2022 04:58 - 1 hour - 53.7 MB

It's that time of year again! Put on some green, pour up a bowl of Lucky Charms, and tune in to our review of Leprechaun in the Hood! It has been a long journey to get here from Warwick Davis and Jennifer Aniston's humble start to the series. Along the way, we've seen a leprechaun take on Vegas and kill assholes in outer space. Most series are creatively bankrupt when they finally cash in the space card. Leprechaun, however, pulled off a miracle when they took things back to the 'hood. This i...

Media Ghouls Episode 243- Up

February 12, 2022 06:22 - 1 hour - 70.8 MB

Break out the tissues because the era of emotional Pixar films truly begins this week in our review of Up! Movies rarely focus on the elderly as the protagonists, family films even less so, but Pixar took a lot of risks when making this classic. Focusing on themes of loss, grief, and adventure, Up remains one of the most unique and tear jerking films in Disney/Pixar's catalog. Despite the heavier themes, the film has a hilarious supporting cast and stunning animation. Join us as Justin and Em...

January 28, 2022 07:18 - 2 hours - 124 MB

Another year, another whole bunch of stuff we enjoyed. This is the 2021 Media Ghouls Awards show! Join Ian and Justin as they discuss what they did (and didn't) watch in movies and television, animated or otherwise. 2021 ended up being a catch up year as everything we should have got in 2020 and more was released. Ian uses this as an excuse to explain why he's so far behind on pretty much everything. Once the duo wrap up the film and television awards, they go over their top video games of th...

January 07, 2022 04:36 - 1 hour - 63.6 MB

It's a full squad on this month's Disney episode as Justin, Ian, Emelynn, and Jared take on the oft-forgotten Disney film Bolt. What is supposed to be a review of the John Travolta dog movie quickly devolves into a discussion on what is the worst Disney film in the catalog. Quite a few recently reviewed movies are brought up before someone says "Pocahontas" to Ian. Justin discusses the most recent Miley Cyrus news and Jared dares to defend the pigeons of Bolt.

Media Ghouls Episode 239 - Fantasia Redux

December 13, 2021 22:20 - 2 hours - 108 MB

It's another episode from the Patreon archive this week as the Ghouls re-review Disney's musical classic Fantasia! Ian, Justin, Emelynn, and Jared are pretty excited to take a deeper look at the music and animation of Walt's early passion project. Emelynn brings her expertise this time around as we attempt to right the wrong of having our most musically educated member absent from the original review.

November 25, 2021 17:04 - 1 hour - 81.1 MB

The holiday season is upon us this week as the Ghouls take a look at one of the few great Thanksgiving classics. Based on a real life experience, Planes, Trains and Automobiles chronicles the desperate journey of two men trying to make it home for Thanksgiving dinner. John Hughes writes and directs the legendary Steve Martin and John Candy in one of the best comedies of the '80s. With well-aged humor, a performance that is equal parts hilarious and dramatic from the late Candy, and an ending ...

Media Ghouls Episode 237 - WALL-E

November 12, 2021 05:12 - 1 hour - 67.7 MB

Having survived the October festivities, the Ghouls return to the comfort of Pixar this week with their review of WALL-E. This modern classic is remembered for its creativity and lovable robotic leads. However, Justin is still not a fan of the film's story shift half way through. Emelynn and Ian are a bit mixed on it but see the thematic purpose as important to the story the team was trying to tell. After exploring the film's many references to science fiction classics, Justin asks the questi...

Media Ghouls Episode 236- Evil Dead

October 29, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 76.1 MB

Somehow the 2021 Halloween Spooktacular is already coming to an end. Justin and Ian have had a great time reviewing some of horror's best remakes this season, and are excited to end things in the most bloody fashion possible. And few movies are bloodier than 2013's Evil Dead remake. With a more allegorical take on the classic cabin in the woods story, Fede Alvarez's film impresses in how it balances the series' gory horror and tongue in cheek tone, a feat previously thought only possible in t...

Media Ghouls Episode 235- Let Me In

October 22, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 73.3 MB

It's almost Halloween and what Spooktacular season would be complete without a good vampire story? This week, the Ghouls take a look at Let Me In. While the Swedish original, Let the Right One In, was critically acclaimed, many thought the American remake was too derivative. Ian and Justin both disagree and find the differences to be very interesting. This one was made only two years after the original so we spend more time directly comparing the films then with our earlier reviews this seaso...

October 15, 2021 06:08 - 1 hour - 59 MB

We are staying in the '80s this week as we take a look at another horror remake for the 2021 Halloween Spooktacular! This time, we review the Frank Darabont-penned remake of The Blob. Ian is shocked to find out Darabont wrote this film six years before he would write and direct The Shawshank Redemption. Despite that pedigree, Ian found this one to be a little lacking in some areas. Justin, on the other hand, loves this film for its incredible practical effects and its absolute craziness when...

October 08, 2021 04:23 - 1 hour - 68.8 MB

This week things get gross as the 2021 Halloween Spooktacular continues with the 1986 remake of The Fly! Jeff Goldblum delivers a memorable performance in one of his most famous roles as a scientist who starts transforming into something inhuman after an experiment goes wrong. Ian couldn't finish this movie as a child while Justin has loved it for most of his life. Having conquered the film for this review, Ian has a lot to say about its dour tone and whether or not Brundle deserves our empat...

The 2021 Halloween Spooktacular has begun! This year the Ghouls are taking a look at some of the best Horror Remakes. First up is the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. By setting the film in San Francisco and taking a different approach to its lead characters, this film manages to be an eerie sci-fi horror classic with nearly no violence or bloodshed.

September 24, 2021 03:29 - 1 hour - 68.8 MB

This week the Ghouls take a detour from the traditional Disney reviews to cover the animated to live-action hybrid film, Enchanted. This movie was Disney's attempt to poke fun at their own fairy tale films and bring them into the real world. What happens when a Disney princess meets a New York divorce lawyer? Well, they fall in love of course. Ian is far less enthused about this one than Justin and Nando who both enjoy the music by Alan Menken. What isn't debatable is the unexpected return of...

September 11, 2021 01:44 - 1 hour - 74.3 MB

This week the Ghouls take another dive into Ian's childhood trauma with their review of the Stephen King and George A. Romero horror anthology film, Creepshow. Ian's stepdad introduced him to this when Ian's intense fear of corpses was at its peak. As you can imagine, he didn't quite make it through to the end of the movie. Now in his 30s, Ian should be able to watch this kind of goofy set of horror short stories, right? At Justin's behest, the duo will see if this precursor to more famous an...

August 27, 2021 06:45 - 1 hour - 93.1 MB

This month's Disney review is a long-awaited and much anticipated one. Why? Not because Ratatouille is unquestionably the best Pixar animated film. No, we are excited because this is Phil's favorite FILM of all time. The meme comes to fruition as Phil guests alongside Justin, Ian, and Nando for a deep dive into Remy the rat's culinary career.

August 16, 2021 05:43 - 1 hour - 65.3 MB

Mr. Voorhees is back and deadlier than ever in this week's review of Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives! After a lackluster entry that tried to shift the slasher series away from its hockey masked villain, Jason Lives resurrects the titular murderer Frankenstein style! Ian is initially impressed with the more campy direction, but it isn't long before the film falls back into its well-worn routine of camp counselors in peril.

July 30, 2021 04:31 - 1 hour - 58.1 MB

The Disney slump continues...or does it? Meet the Robinsons seems to be a somewhat divisive animated film. While certainly not as bad as Disney's first attempt at a cg feature, Meet the Robinsons seven writers can't quite shape the film into anything resembling a "classic." Instead, it feels much more like a c-grade Dreamworks movie. The Ghouls do their best to analyze the film's hazy time travel rules with Fernando returning to the mic!

In this episode, the guys sit through one of the worst remakes they have ever seen: Rob Zombie's Halloween. From the redneck family replacement to the confusing decision to over explain Michael's obsession with masks, nothing in this remake quite clicks into place. Is it faithful to the original? Nope. Does it understand what made that film work? Not so much. Can two fantastic actors save this script? Also unfortunately not

July 05, 2021 06:23 - 1 hour - 82.8 MB

The Ghouls are turning up the nostalgia this 4th of July with their review of The Sandlot! Justin has no history with this '90s cult classic. Ian, on the other hand, grew up loving this movie and has a lot to say about the more subtle references to both baseball and the way we remember our childhood. A heated debate ensues when Justin claims to hate most of the movie's characters. Somehow the conversation turns into a criticism of the streaming model with the recent news of a Sandlot revival ...

June 25, 2021 02:09 - 1 hour - 80 MB

The Media Ghouls horror pick of the month might be light on the horror, but it's horror lineage stretches back to the classic era of Universal's monsters. This surprisingly effective reboot of the Boris Karloff-led original is remembered fondly by all who grew up in the '90s, but does it actually hold up? Ian and Justin share their opinions and hot takes as they rekindle their appreciation for a bygone era of blockbuster filmmaking. As always, a tangential argument or two takes place, this ti...

Justin is so excited that he drove up to the Bay Area with his newborn son just to record with the rest of the squad! Emelynn drops a bomb early on regarding her secret love of Lightning and friends.

The Ghouls return to horror this episode with their review of Yeon Sang-ho's Train to Busan. This 2016 zombie film takes notes from the classics while adding new and compelling elements to the well-worn subgenre. With memorable characters you actually want to see survive, a hatable antagonist, and a strong emotional core, Train to Busan shows that zombie horror can be so much more than its associated stereotypes.

Media Ghouls Episode 221 - Chicken Little

May 14, 2021 04:08 - 1 hour - 58 MB

The downward spiral for Walt Disney Animation Studios continues with their very first cg-animated feature, Chicken Little. The Ghouls are mortified to find that this uninspired, trend-chasing, and mean-spirited children's film was actually produced by Disney. With a completely unfocused plot, characters that encourage bullying, and animation that looks worse than Pixar's first film released 10 years prior, does Chicken Little have anything to like? Ian certainly found something and he can't w...

Ian, Justin, and Phil are proud to present the Media Ghouls Retrospective on Rare and Nintendo's Donkey Kong Country Trilogy. It's no secret that these are some of the defining games of our childhood, with a lot '90s nostalgia baked in. However, our job here is to look back within the context of today to discover if these classic games truly do hold up.
