Episode 370: Oscar Talk: Licorice Pizza (2021)

March 17, 2022 20:41 - 32.6 MB

What a frustrating film Licorice Pizza is. I don't remember my teen years being THIS frustrating. While it's a well-made movie, I feel I need to watch it a couple of more times to truly make sure if I like it or not. As of now that a no.

Episode 369: Oscar Talk: Belfast(2021)

March 17, 2022 19:21 - 25.6 MB

When Director Kenneth Branagh was growing up he lived in Belfast Ireland. This is a movie that close to his heart as it's mostly a biopic about him and his family. Shot in Black and White (while unnecessary) is a beautiful film and very well made.

Episode 368: Oscar Talk: CODA (2021)

March 10, 2022 18:45 - 34.5 MB

If you don't think this film will bring you to tears or have an emotional spark then think again, or you might be dead. In CODA (Child Of Deaf Adult) the story is one of hope and hopelessness. A very good film and a recommended watch.

Episode 367: Oscar talk: King Richard (2021)

March 10, 2022 17:21 - 32.6 MB

Will Smith might have just won an Oscar for this role of Richard Williams. Not only was he excellent in the film but the movie was very good too. Will he win? We'll find out on Oscar night!

March 03, 2022 11:23 - 39.6 MB

The once thought unfilmable novel of Frank Herbert's Dune has been made, again. This time it was in the hands of the truly magnificent Denis Villeneuve. One of the best films in this years crop for sure.

Episode 365: Oscar Talk: West Side Story(2021)

March 03, 2022 10:23 - 54.6 MB

West Side Story is a remake no one asked for. With that said, it's well made and most of the time well-acted. Still, no one cares.

Episode 365: Oscar Talk: West Side Story (2021)

March 03, 2022 10:23 - 54.6 MB

West Side Story is a remake no one asked for. With that said, it's well made and most of the time well-acted. Still, no one cares.

Episode 364: Oscar Talk: Don't Look Up (2021)

February 24, 2022 22:35 - 36 MB

While watching Don't Look Up you can’t help but laugh at so much. In the same instance you have to step back and think to yourself that this film is probably playing more like reality and when that sets in, oh boy, that feeling sucks big time.

Episode 363: Oscar Talk: Nightmare Alley (2021)

February 24, 2022 13:23 - 44.6 MB

One of the films I'm looking forward to most in this list is Nightmare Alley. A remake of the 1947 film and does a damn good job on its own. Does it have a shot at Best Picture? Not really but worth a watch nonetheless.

Episode 362: Oscar Talk: The Power Of The Dog (2021)

February 17, 2022 23:53 - 53.7 MB

Is this Jane Campion's year? Some feel so. The Power Of The Dog is a well-crafted slow burning thriller. Also, elements of love, greed and despair. A very good film.

Episode 361: Oscar Talk: Drive My Car (2021)

February 17, 2022 21:32 - 39.6 MB

Pretentious and boring and the fact that the opening credits don't start until the 40 minute mark really drives that point home. Does Scott agree? Listen in and find out.

Episode 360: Oscar Nominees (2021)

February 10, 2022 13:23 - 96.2 MB

The Oscar nominations are upon us! Listen in as we discuss all the nominees in all the major categories.

Episode 359: January Movies (2022)

November 18, 2021 21:23 - 73.5 MB

January, where movies go to die. We talk about most of the January films this year. One of which is Morbius. This film never came out in January but got moved to April for Covid reasons. Still expect it to be bad though.

Episode 358: Halloween Kills (2021)

November 11, 2021 23:33 - 68.7 MB

This is a very good sequel to a very good reboot. Another film in the camp of you either loved it or hated it. Let's face it, Michael Myers is a monster and monsters do bad things. It's a movie, deal with it.

Episode 357: Old (2021)

October 28, 2021 22:44 - 53.1 MB

I watched this with family and while they hated it, I liked it. This isn't a perfect film by any means but there is enough good stuff in this to warrant a watch.

Episode 356: The Wolf Of Snow Hollow (2020)

October 07, 2021 17:56 - 33.4 MB

Probably the best horror/thriller of 2020. It's smart and funny and will definitely make you jump. From up and coming director Jim Cummings, you shouldn't miss this one.

Episode 355: Candyman (2021)

October 07, 2021 16:43 - 44.3 MB

While most people will complain about this movie because they have nothing better to do, this a very good well made horror film. They pull a Jaws by not showing you Candyman for a long time but it still works.

Episode 354: Malignant (2021)

September 30, 2021 21:35 - 62 MB

This is a great under appreciated horror/thriller. I for one can't wait until there more sequels to this one. This is in the category of you either loved it or hated it. I'm OK with telling people they're wrong.

Episode 353: Reminiscence (2021)

September 16, 2021 18:56 - 64.7 MB

We've jumped out of the 70's and are reviewing newer films like this one. We discuss how we've seen this film 25 years ago and how this rendition is quite bad. There's no reason for this film.

Episode 352: Murder By Death (1976)

September 09, 2021 11:42 - 47.8 MB

A fun little murder mystery with an all-star cast. Predictable in spots but lots of fun. Peter Sellers (nor anyone else) could get away with his character in this film today.

Episode 351: Eaten Alive (1976)

August 12, 2021 14:25 - 61.3 MB

We're still in the 70's and this week is Tobe Hooper's Eaten Alive. I mention it again during this episode and here now. THERE IS NO WAY TOBE HOOPER DIRECTED POLTERGEIST. Oh and a puke story at the 57 minute.

Episode 350: King Kong (1976)

August 05, 2021 19:45 - 48.8 MB

We went big for 1976 in the remake of King Kong. This film is mediocre at best and the performances as well. Charles Grodin is excellent as the corporate sleeze though.

Episode 349: The Omen (1976)

July 22, 2021 16:41 - 59.4 MB

The critically popular The Omen is this week's we review. While we both agree that the cinematography is excellent, many other aspects of the film are a bit to be desired. Is it bad? No not really. We respect the film and what it took to make it.

Episode 348: Assault On Precinct 13 (1976)

July 08, 2021 21:25 - 40.9 MB

We review a classic this week in John Carpenter's Assault On Precinct 13. Don't expect too many complaints but very good observation this week.

Episode 347: Mother, Jugs and Speed (1976)

July 01, 2021 20:17 - 61.6 MB

It's true that Joey liked this film way more than Scott. So much in fact that the score at the end had to be discussed a bit more than usual.

Episode 346: The Food Of The Gods (1976)

June 24, 2021 15:36 - 58.2 MB

H.G. Wells probably would have never expected so many of his stories and literature would be made into film, horrible, low budget, poorly acted film. Poor bastard.

Episode 345: Massacre At Central High (1976)

June 17, 2021 14:35 - 57.4 MB

The film Massacre At Central High is the film Heathers was inspired by. So much even that the ends are pretty much the same and the characters are similar too.

Episode 344: Logan's Run (1976)

June 03, 2021 11:45 - 57.3 MB

You can't review 70's films without a bunch of futuristic Sci-Fi movies. Logan's run is one of the most famous. Does it hold up all these years later?

Episode 343: Escape To Witch Mountain (1975)

May 20, 2021 19:22 - 55.2 MB

So Scott's challenge to Joey of Escape To Witch Mountain has Joey all fired up. Not in a good way though. Expect rants and possible foaming of the mouth.

Episode 342: Race With The Devil (1975)

May 06, 2021 18:14 - 60.6 MB

We go back to our format before the Oscar nominations. We're back in 1975 and we review race With The Devil.

Episode 340: Oscar Talk: Promising Young Woman (2020)

April 15, 2021 13:14 - 43.5 MB

This week we review Promising Young Woman. While it probably won't win Best Picture (Although it probably should) it's an excellent film and realistically the best one nominated this year.

Episode 339: Oscar Talk: The Father (2020)

April 15, 2021 12:13 - 26.3 MB

In what is undoubtably the best performance this year by Anthony Hopkins, this is an excellent film. Best Picture? Maybe not. Best actor for Hopkins? Probably.

Episode 338: Oscar Talk: Mank (2020)

April 08, 2021 15:25 - 35.3 MB

Hollywood tends to mirror itself sometimes. That's why when we reviewed Mank we knew why most people didn't like it. Is it flawed? Yes. Is it grand? Yes. Should it win Best Picture? Joey thinks so but not why you think.

Episode 337: Oscar Talk: Sound Of Metal (2020)

April 08, 2021 14:21 - 35.5 MB

In this weeks Oscar show we review Sound Of Metal. This is the film Scott really didn't want to see and it's the first film Joey saw before it was nominated. Two different viewpoints on this one.

Episode 336: Oscar Talk: The Trial Of The Chicago 7 (2020)

April 01, 2021 10:12 - 36.3 MB

Another true story about 7 individuals who were hand picked in a political trial for starting the 1968 riots in Chicago during the Democratic Nation Convention. Did they? Was it started by police? Is their judge unfit? All valid questions.

Episode 335: Oscar Talk: Judas and the Black Messiah (2021)

April 01, 2021 09:42 - 34 MB

Episode 334: Oscar Talk: Minari (2020)

March 25, 2021 19:32 - 37.9 MB

Loosely but maybe not so loosely based on director Lee isaac Chung's life growing up on a farm in Arkansas. The story of the life and struggle of a Korean family's move from the west coast to rural Arkansas. Listen in as we discuss this one.

Episode 333: Oscar Talk: Nomadland (2020)

March 25, 2021 16:14 - 34.7 MB

While although a film, it moves and acts like a documentary in parts. Based on the book Nomandland it's an interesting take on the life and actions of people who choose to live a nomad lifestyle.

Episode 332: Oscar Nominees (2020 - 2021)

March 18, 2021 11:34 - 77.4 MB

Everything is a little different this year. The Academy has allowed films from 2021 through February to be nominated due to the pandemic. Netflix leads the way with 35 nominations and over 200 million subscribers. We even talk Razzies.

Episode 331: Deep Red (1975)

March 11, 2021 05:22 - 89.7 MB

Scott has never been into war films even though he liked Hacksaw Ridge. As good as that was, 1917 is an incredible piece of film making. Everything from the score to the cinematic landscapes. Scott didn't feel the same way.

Episode 330: A Boy And His Dog (1975)

March 04, 2021 07:23 - 74.3 MB

A post-apocalyptic future where a boy can telepathically communicate with his dog. They need each other to survive but the boy mostly needs the dog to meet chicks. Well, a bit more than that.

Episode 329: Night Of The Seagulls (1975)

February 21, 2021 14:13 - 63 MB

A new doctor comes into town while the old one leaves. Of course, the old doctor gives a warning to not go out at night. Of course, they don't listen while the female virgins of the town are being sacrificed.

Episode 325: Rollerball (1975)

March 26, 2020 17:14 - 73.7 MB

We head back into reviewing films while still stuck in 1975. Based on a short story of a dystopian futuristic world where Rollerball is the most popular and watched sport. No really, they care about sports in a dystopian future. Not surprised.
