Episode 185 (Constantine)

April 01, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 95.8 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the underappreciated 2005 film Constantine. We're big fans of Francis Lawrence's Hellblazer adaption, so we read copious articles, listened to the DVD commentaries and found some great stuff to share with you. We still can't believe he got Tilda Swinton, Peter Stormare, Rachel Weisz, Djimon Hounsou and Keanu Reeves to appear (and look awesome) in this movie. In this episode, you will hear us talk about kicking crabs, smoking spiders a...

Episode 184 (The Faculty)

March 27, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 63.5 MB

The MFF Podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1998 cult classic The Faculty. Written by Kevin Williamson (Scream) and directed by Robert Rodriguez (Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn), this film has aged-well because of its smart script, solid performances and original monster who loves water, and hates drugs called Scat. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about spitting monsters, water consumption and a creature named Jensen. If you are a fan of The Faculty you will love thi...

Episode 183 (Thirteen Ghosts - 2001)

March 22, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 2001 cult classic Thi13en Ghosts. It's one of Roger Ebert's most hated movies, however, we appreciate the production design, practical effects and Matthew Lillard going full action hero. This $42 million budgeted horror remake went out of its way to be innovative, and we think it's aged-well because of the beautifully constructed glass set and "juicy" ghosts who were created by Greg Nicotero, Robert Kurtzman and their KNB effects ...

Episode 182 (Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter AND Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday)

March 17, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 77.4 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. We love these movies because they are incredibly weird and feature some of the most random moments of the franchise (Corkscrew!). In this podcast, you will hear us talk about random side characters, inventive dancing, and a guy named Mahoney having to clean up an exploded Jason Voorhees. If you are a fan of the Friday the 13th franchise, you will love this po...

Episode 181 (They Live)

March 12, 2019 11:10 - 1 hour - 68.5 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the John Carpenter directed 'They Live'. It's one of our favorite movies and we loved talking the glasses, bubblegum and epic fights featured in the film. With 'They Live', John Carpenter delivered a timeless tale of yuppie aliens infiltrating earth and bombarding humans with messages about consumerism. They are stopped when a plaid clothed man rises up (with his buddy Frank) and goes to war with the yuppie aliens, who would never be ...

Episode 180 (Idle Hands)

March 07, 2019 11:35 - 1 hour - 76.1 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1999 horror comedy Idle Hands. We hadn't watched this movie since 1999, so it was fun to see it again and realize we liked it much more when we were teenagers. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about the fantastic special effects, severed limbs and soundtrack that blasted our favorite 1990s songs (Offspring!). If you are a fan of Idle Hands, you will love this podcast.

Episode 179 (Peter Rabbit)

March 02, 2019 11:25 - 1 hour - 106 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're bringing you a massive episode about the 2018 film Peter Rabbit. This might be the most MFF podcast ever as we talk about talking pigs, rabbits with jackets, and saving an event centered around pottery. We also answer a lot of Peter Rabbit themed questions and put together an animated animals crew that get into some dark shenanigans. If you are a fan of Peter Rabbit and side discussions you will love this episode.

Episode 178 (The Frighteners)

February 26, 2019 11:15 - 1 hour - 57.6 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1996 cult classic The Frighteners. We love director Peter Jackson's CGI extravaganza and appreciate how it effortlessly blends ghosts, wallpaper people, heart crunching, paranormal machine guns and the smashing of innocent lawn gnomes. We dig this movie so much we listened to the Blu-ray commentary and scoured all the extras (hours and hours of extras) to make sure this episode is dense with The Frighteners facts and trivia that w...

Episode 177 (Valley Girl)

February 21, 2019 17:30 - 1 hour - 70.8 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Martha Coolidge's 1983 cult classic Valley Girl. This movie is better than it has any right to be and that is because of Coolidge's confident direction and a cast and crew who worked incredibly hard to make this $350,000 budgeted movie a success. We love Valley Girl because it was supposed to be a stock 1980's stock sex comedy, but was turned into a thoughtful and romantic movie featuring a career making performance from an 18-year ol...

Episode 176 (Predicting the 2009 Academy Awards)

February 19, 2019 17:30 - 46 minutes - 42.6 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're predicting the 2009 Academy Awards. Our annual trend of predicting decade-old awards continues on the podcast, and in this episode you will hear us talking about Slumdog Millionaire, The Wrestler, and famous actors crushing grapes. What we love about the 2009 Academy Awards is how it completely ignored The Dark Knight (aside from Ledger), and proceeded to nominated movies like The Reader for Best Picture. The 2009 awards marked a significant change...

Episode 175 (Captain Ron)

February 16, 2019 17:30 - 1 hour - 69.5 MB

You voted for it, and we delivered! The MFF podcast is back, and we're celebrating our 175th episode by talking about the 1992 cult classic Captain Ron. We've made it a new habit to talk about a Kurt Russell movie on every 25th episode (starting with Big Trouble in Little China on our 150th episode) and we had a great time talking about Ted's Island, chili dogs and the importance of enunciating when saying "guerrillas." In this podcast, we answered every listener question we received and dug ...

Episode 174 (Batman Forever)

February 11, 2019 17:30 - 1 hour - 60.8 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Joel Schumacher's 1995 superhero movie Batman Forever. Batman Forever is a bonkers film that features lots of neon, overacting and insane action scenes involving incredibly long grappling hooks. We love how wild this movie is, and appreciate how Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Val Kilmer and Nicole Kidman embraced the insanity and produced all-in performances that have left us with many questions and theories. In this podcast, you will h...

Episode 173 (Encino Man)

February 06, 2019 17:30 - 1 hour - 55.2 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1992 cult classic Encino Man. We're big fans of this movie and embrace its earnest attempt to tell a story about a caveman helping two dorks become cool. In this episode, we talk about Steve Coozer, food groups, and Pauly Shore's brilliant engineering skills. We also come up with a bunch of weird theories and discuss the Pauly Shore cinematic universe (Encino Man, Son in Law, In the Army Now) which features random appearances of B...

Episode 172 (Venom, Tater Tots and Chocolate)

February 01, 2019 17:30 - 1 hour - 81 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the excellent 2018 superhero flick Venom. We love this movie and appreciate how Tom Hardy dove into the role and managed to make a head eating glob of goo likable. In this podcast you will hear us talk about tater tots, symbiotes and the negatives of owning a car wash. If you are a fan of Venom you will love this podcast. Also, we put together the greatest superhero squad of all time. 

Episode 171 (The Guest)

January 27, 2019 17:30 - 1 hour - 69 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 2014 action-horror film The Guest. We love The Guest and think director Adam Wingard did a fine job blending elements from The Terminator and Halloween together and creating something new and exciting. The movie gets better with each viewing, and it's left us wanting more adventures featuring Dan Stevens and Maika Monroe battling each other while exchanging fun dialogue. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about tubes of death,...

Episode 170 (The Manitou)

January 22, 2019 17:30 - 1 hour - 70.4 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the B-movie classic The Manitou. We love this movie because it's an unironic little film about an evil and ancient spirit growing on a woman's neck. The Manitou is gloriously weird, and it's probably the only film ever to feature lizard creatures, sand circles and frozen hospitals. An added bonus, is it features stellar actors like Tony Curtis and Burgess Meredith saying nonsense lines and giving stern lectures to ancient beings who h...

Episode 169 (Club Dread, Hell Fest, AVPR and 30 Days of Night)

January 18, 2019 17:30 - 1 hour - 79.6 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about movies that aren't as bad as you'd think. We went through Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb and Metacritic and picked our favorite movies that have subpar scores. In this podcast you will hear about 30 Days of Night, Hell Fest, Club Dread, The Lone Ranger,Alien vs. Predator: Requiem and xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. It was a lot of fun talking about these films because we genuinely like them and don't think they're that bad (you will hear that ...

Episode 168 (Icebreaker and Snowmobile Action Scenes)

January 13, 2019 17:30 - 1 hour - 72.9 MB

The MFF podcast is back and we're talking about snowmobile action scenes and the 2000 B-movie classic Icebreaker. If you are into movies featuring legendary mountain burgers, angry bosses and a bald Bruce Campbell chewing scenery you will love every second of this podcast. What we love most about Icebreaker is how director David Giancola gathered seemingly everyone in Vermont to cameo in this movie while actors Sean Astin, Stacy Keach and Bruce Campbell channeled every ounce of their professi...

Episode 167 (Quantum of Solace)

January 08, 2019 17:30 - 1 hour - 80.3 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and we're talking about the Bond film Quantum of Solace. If you've listened to the podcast before, you will know that we love the Bond franchise and will take any opportunity to talk it because the Bond movies have so much personality. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about its rushed production, unfinished script and Jason Bourne mimicry that just doesn't feel right. We also go in-depth into its positives (there are many) and wish Olga Kurylenko had a bigger ro...

Episode 166 (Hackers)

January 03, 2019 17:30 - 1 hour - 81.1 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and we're talking about the 1995 cult classic Hackers. We love this movie and had a great time rewatching, researching and talking about this gem of a movie. This may sound insane, but I think it has aged beautifully and I love how the costumes, hacking and dialogue feel like they're coming from another dimension (viva la butter zone). The weirdness of it all is endearing, and I think the chemistry of the cast makes the movie feel ageless and crispy in the dark (anoth...

Episode 165 (The Strangers: Prey at Night)

December 29, 2018 17:30 - 1 hour - 78.3 MB

The MFF podcast is back and we're talking about the very underrated horror film The Strangers: Prey at Night. The film flew under the radar when it hit theaters, but it's starting to gain a following with The A.V. Club, Bloody Disgusting and Collider trumpeting it's ability to hit above its weight and thrill like none other. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about the thrilling set pieces, legitimate performances and the swimming pool scene that everyone is talking about (you need to wat...

Episode 164 (The Best Horror Films of 2018)

December 24, 2018 17:30 - 1 hour - 105 MB

2018 was a fantastic year for horror films with Mandy, Hereditary, A Quiet Place. Strangers: Prey at Night, Unfriended: Dark Web, The Ranger, The Endless, Annihilation, Unsane, The House That Jack Built, Overlord, Revenge, Apostle, Ghost Stories, The Babysitter and The Ritual providing legit scares, thrills and chainsaw fights. It was such a great year we brought in award-winning horror director Zach Beckler to discuss the best horror movies of 2018. In this podcast, you will hear us talk abo...

Episode 163 (The 2018 Random Awards)

December 19, 2018 17:30 - 1 hour - 66.4 MB

The world famous MFF Random Awards are back and better than ever! If you are a fan of incredibly random awards you will love this podcast because we celebrate cinematic coffee drinking, southern gentleman and characters who are just too busy to save the world. Join me (Mark), John and Megan as we unleash the randomness and discuss our favorite 2018 movies like Revenge, Widows, Ant-Man & The Wasp, Paddington 2 and Mandy. Also, make sure to check out the piece I wrote about the random awards to...

Episode 162 (High Noon and Rio Bravo)

December 15, 2018 17:30 - 1 hour - 62.9 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about High Noon and Rio Bravo. These western classics are very similar, but very different (does that make sense?) as they both focus on outnumbered lawmen dealing with murderous rogues and younger women. We love the intensity of High Noon, and we really love the laid back charm of Rio Bravo. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about their production, plot differences and cultural effects (Tarantino loves Rio Bravo) of these two great fi...

Episode 161 (Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York)

December 11, 2018 17:30 - 1 hour - 86.1 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. These Christmas classics introduced the world to an industrious kid who had to do deal with neglectful parents and possibly immortal thieves who can survive pretty much anything. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about improvised tarantula theatrics, home renovation costs and the alternate dimension that these movies take place in. We were very lucky to have Jay Cluitt of Life Vs. Fi...

Episode 160 (Reign of Fire)

December 06, 2018 21:00 - 1 hour - 88.6 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about a post-apocalyptic dragon movie that we love. Reign of Fire is the most grounded dragon movie ever made (we think), and stars A-listers Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey and Gerard Butler. What we love about this movie is how it features a tattooed Matthew McConaughey driving around England in an attempt to kill dragons, while Christian Bale takes everything seriously (which we love). The movie looks brilliant, has solid CGI and fea...

Episode 159 (Batman Returns)

November 30, 2018 19:30 - 1 hour - 90.4 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we are talking about one of the darkest superhero movies ever made. Tim Burton's Batman Returns was a financial success in 1992, but its dark themes and lack of Batman turned many people off and left them never wanting to eat fish ever again (The Penguin eating fish = horrible). We love this movie and the all-in performances from Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny DeVito never get old. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about the muddled production process,...

Episode 158 (Deep Blue Sea Commentary)

November 21, 2018 17:30 - 1 hour - 93.6 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we are releasing a very odd commentary track. If you are a fan of Deep Blue Sea then you will love this commentary, and we recommend you listen to it while watching Deep Blue Sea. We figured after talking about it for years we should just release an incredibly in-depth commentary track that breaks down every aspect of the movie and builds upon all the great stuff we've written about it. If you are a fan of Deep Blue Sea you need to listen to this podcast...

Episode 157 (Steel Dawn)

November 16, 2018 17:30 - 1 hour - 87 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we’re talking about the 1987 post-apocalyptic movie Steel Dawn. It is a really weird little thing that surrounds Patrick Swayze with lots of sands, aluminum swords and very slow moving vehicles. Steel Dawn is basically a ripoff of Mad Max, Shane and every other movie that might be somewhat similar (and we love that fact). It is an unpretentious flick that was released by Vestron Video (remember them!?) and is meant to be nothing more than a cheeky exerci...

Episode 156 (Resident Evil: The Final Chapter)

November 11, 2018 17:30 - 1 hour - 80.7 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we’re finishing up our Resident Evil podcast series with Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. We've loved talking about the Resident Evil franchise and if you haven't listened to the other podcasts, you need to do it now. Director Paul W.S. Anderson and star/producer Milla Jovovich worked on the RE series for 15 years and we love how it all kinda makes sense. The series never became stagnant because each installment has its own personality, and took us to l...

Episode 155 (Halloween - 2018)

November 06, 2018 17:30 - 1 hour - 61.8 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we’re talking about the 2018 iteration of Halloween. It's already a box office smash ($200 million worldwide and counting) and if Jamie Lee Curtis and David Gordon Green come back for a sequel they can expect truck loads of cash to be dumped at their homes. We're fans of this movie and felt it was necessary to bring back Adam Clement who joined us on our Jerky Antics of Michael Myers podcast that was released a few weeks ago. In this podcast, expect to h...

Episode 154 (Apostle and Bad Times at the El Royale)

November 01, 2018 17:30 - 1 hour - 64.5 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we’re talking about two movies that feature ambitious camerawork, committed performances, and an island that may or may not barf blood (yep..it's weird). Bad Times at the El Royale and The Apostle are the products of two fantastic directors (Drew Goddard, Gareth Evans) who knew exactly what they wanted (to create a quality film) and stopped at nothing to achieve their vision. Both movies feature jaw-dropping moments involving 5-minute steadicam shots, dr...

Episode 153 (Jurassic Park)

October 27, 2018 18:00 - 1 hour - 63 MB

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 25-year old classic Jurassic Park. The movie hasn't aged and we love how it puts modern movies to shame with its beautiful CGI, practical effects, and thrilling set pieces. Director Steven Spielberg is a mad genius who channeled his inner-child while making Jurassic Park and the end result influenced young filmmakers and set the course for many subpar sequels. In this episode, you will hear us talk about buying dinosaurs on the bl...

Episode 152 (The 13th Warrior)

October 22, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 76.4 MB

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about the underrated action spectacle The 13th Warrior, which has aged really well due to its practical effects and on-location shooting in the harshest terrains British Columbia could offer. The 13th Warrior is mostly known for the production troubles, massive budget ($180 million inflated) and underwhelming box office numbers that made it a financial disaster. Director John McTiernan (Predator, Die ...

Episode 151 (The Jerky Antics of Michael Myers)

October 17, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 91.3 MB

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about the jerky antics of Michael Myers. Michael has done many jerky things during his 40-year terror spree and you will hear all about them in this podcast. Whether it be plunging towns into darkness, wrecking bed sheets or stealing knives, Michael has a long list of jerky moments that prove he is more than just a skilled killer.  Also, we have a long discussion about the misunderstood Tina and Hallo...

Episode 150 (Big Trouble in Little China)

October 11, 2018 17:00 - 2 hours - 111 MB

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about one of our favorite movies that features the greatest action hero of all time (Jack Burton!). Big Trouble in Little China is an absolute classic, and we're honored we were able to celebrate 150 episodes with this John Carpenter classic. In this episode, we talk about Jack Burton's driving skills, sleeveless t-shirts, inspired fight scenes and leave no six demon bag unturned. If you are a fan of ...

Episode 149 (Ready to Rumble)

October 05, 2018 21:00 - 1 hour - 58.7 MB

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about a movie that features farting nuns, lots of poop jokes and Oliver Platt crushing fools. Ready to Rumble is a terrible movie that was thrown together quickly and written by somebody who hates wrestling. Despite its badness, we did our best to find positives amongst the juvenile jokes, and managed to applaud the performances of the wrestlers and the soundtrack featuring songs which will make you n...

Episode 148 (Live Free or Die Hard)

September 28, 2018 18:00 - 1 hour - 80.3 MB

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about the underappreciated Live Free or Die Hard. It is an analog action film in a digital age and we love how Bruce Willis seems to be genuinely enjoying himself throughout the mayhem. Director Len Wiseman does a fine job capturing the "Die Hard" magic and he loads up the movie with inventive action scenes featuring fire hydrants used as weapons, elevator shaft fistfights, and a car taking out a heli...

Episode 147 (Tomb Raider & A Simple Favor)

September 24, 2018 18:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MB

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about Tomb Raider (2018) and A Simple Favor. We're big fans of these movies, so we did a ton of research, calculated the time it would take to restock a closet, and made sure to mention multiple times that Daniel Wu and Walton Goggins are in Tomb Raider. What we love about Tomb Raider is how it tells a fun adventure story and allows Alicia Vikander to be awesome. It is unpretentious, streamlined and m...

Episode 146 (Universal Soldier)

September 17, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 87 MB

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about the 1992 somewhat classic Universal Soldier. It is a dorky little movie that features reanimated super soldiers played by Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren battling each other in Vietnam, Utah and Louisiana. What we love most about Universal Soldier is how it plays like an action film that met a horror film and threw in a lot of spin kicks. The best part about this movie is Dolph Lundgren...

Episode 145 (Resident Evil: Retribution)

September 13, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 75.7 MB

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we are talking about Resident Evil: Retribution, the fifth entry in the Resident Evil series and quite possibly the best. Director Paul W.S. Anderson was finally given a decent budget of $65 million and he does a great job of showing every cent of it onscreen. Which means the CGI is better, the sets are legit, and there is more of everything (two Executioners!!!) for Alice and her cohorts to kill. If you haven't l...

Episode 144 (The Best Romantic Comedies of 2018 - So Far)

September 08, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 93.5 MB

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker's "Best Movie Podcast" list is back! This week we're talking about the fantastic 2018 romantic comedies Crazy Rich Asians, Set it Up, To All The Boys I've Loved Before, and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. 2018 has been loaded with great romantic comedies and we couldn't wait to talk about the genre revitalizing movies like Set it Up, that may or may not feature the greatest scene involving pizza ever.  I love these four films, so I did a ton of research and brough...

Episode 143 (Resident Evil: Afterlife)

August 29, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 70.1 MB

In part 4 of our Resident Evil Franchise Review series we discuss Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) as the franchise samples The Matrix (1999) and Blade II (2002), Milla Jovovich leads an army of leather-clad ninja Jovo-clones in some of the best action of the franchise, our zombies are not just smarter and faster but can read blueprints, and Wesker goes full bullet-dodging Agent Smith in the final battle. As we answer Listener Questions we explore Milla's acting chops, the staying power of mut...

Episode 142 (Resident Evil: Extinction)

August 22, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 82.1 MB

In part 3 of our Resident Evil Franchise Review series we discuss Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) as the franchise goes Fury Road-lite, Milla Jovovich's action scenes get dialed up, we learn who not to trust in a world of dubiously infected heroes and behaviorally modified zombies (oh, and diminishing cigarette supplies), and we enjoy the best "final boss" of the franchise so far. As we answer some inspired Listener Questions we explore various aspects of evil residency-based tuition rates, ...

Episode 141 (The Meg)

August 18, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 58.8 MB

Mark and Robert talk about the The Meg and ponder why Jason Statham didn't throw any spin kicks in it. If you are a fan of shark cinema, you will love this podcast because it covers The Meg, The Shallows, Jaws: The Revenge, and several other B-movie classics that feature underwater mayhem.  Enjoy!

Episode 140 (Resident Evil: Apocalypse)

August 08, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 85.9 MB

This week we discuss Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), Milla Jovovich's motorcycle-jumping and dumpster-diving stunts, the big slow ugly hulking menace that is the Nemesis Program, and wardrobe trends among the ass-kicking heroes of film. As we answer some inspired Listener Questions we explore other major action franchises' tank top wardrobing trends, a few nods to iconic zombie cinema, and the deviation of films from its video game source material.

Episode 139 (Resident Evil)

August 01, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 96.8 MB

Mark and John talk about 2002's Resident Evil and get ready to do a deep-dive into the entire franchise. Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil series is an odd outlier in the Hollywood system, and it's been fun to watch as Milla Jovovich's Alice character has evolved from a buttkicking hero into an ultimate badass who gets stuck in very uncomfortable outfits. If you are looking for a podcast episode that covers every aspect of 2002's Resident Evil (even the Blu-ray commentaries) you've come to t...

Episode 138 (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets)

July 25, 2018 18:00 - 1 hour - 97 MB

Mark, John and Megan discuss the amazing Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. If you are looking for a massive science fiction film that features 300+ aliens, huge set pieces and Cara Delevingne sticking her head into a jellyfish's butt you will love this movie. Luc Besson was given $177 million to make his dream project and he used every cent to create this underappreciated gem. Every cent of the $177 is seen onscreen and there are some truly jaw-dropping moments that showcase why WE...

Episode 137 (Free Fire)

July 20, 2018 22:00 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MB

Mark and Megan discuss Ben Wheatley's gunfight classic Free Fire. If you haven't watched Free Fire you need to immediately check it out because it's loaded with fantastic action, dialogue and actors. It's an absolute blast that features A-list talent like Brie Larson, Armie Hammer, Cillain Murphy, Jack Reynor, Sam Riley and Sharlto Copley. Also, Ben Wheatley (Sightseers, Down Terrace, Kill List, A Field in England) is one of the most interesting directors working today and hopefully this podc...

Episode 136 (The Cornetto Trilogy)

July 13, 2018 18:00 - 1 hour - 59.8 MB

Mark and Robert discuss the greatest trilogy of films to ever be tied together by an ice cream cone. Director/writer Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost pulled their talents together and created a fan-favorite trilogy of movies that feature zombies, rural cops, and a pub crawl to end all pub crawls. These movies are endlessly rewatchable and feature some of the funniest 21st-century gags (WTF!) that get funnier once you learn how much work went into crafting them. In this podcast, you wil...
