Ep 81: Everything, Everywhere all at once Movie Review

May 10, 2022 22:00 - 47 minutes - 32.3 MB

Today's episode Denise Chan joins me for one of the most mind-bending, f#cked up, bat s#it crazy movies I've ever seen. Despite this film's wacky over the top universe jumping and visually stunning special effects, "Everything Everywhere all at once" is also a heartfelt story about family, acceptance and generational trauma. There should definitely be a warning for photosensitive (or just generally sensitive) viewers, but there isn’t, so take this episode as your warning. From inanimate obj...

I WANT MY PIG BACK! - Pig Movie Review

May 07, 2022 22:00 - 24 minutes - 16.6 MB

Released in 2021, 'Pig' is an intriguing tale.   Pig is not an uplifting film. It’s not an action film either. In fact, it’s actually quite a depressing film, and certainly the most serious of Nicholas Cage’s recent works. It’s also a film that I highly recommend. There is so much subtlety and nuance in it, and it touches on some important issues. Nicholas Cage’s character in the film was once a successful chef who has renounced his past life and chosen to live in the forest, shut off fro...

GET UNCAGED!! - Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Movie Review

May 05, 2022 01:00 - 24 minutes - 16.5 MB

  Over the last few years, Nicolas Cage seems to have made a comeback, and today’s movie seems to embody everything we love about the actor. Tuning in you’ll hear about the setup of this action-packed comedy film in which Nicolas Cage plays himself caught between a super fan (played by Pedro Pascal) and a CIA agent (played by Tiffany Haddish), with plenty of references to some of our favourite Nicolas Cage films.

Today Michael reviews Scream 5, which he refuses to refer to as Scream 2022. Without giving away any spoilers, he explains the basic setup of this film and how it fits into the greater Scream franchise. Michael explains how the franchise compares to other franchises (like Halloween), which, unlike Scream, often tend to disregard all previous sequels and jump the shark when creating a reboot. Tuning in, you’ll hear about the pivotal role of the legacy characters played by Neve Campbell, Court...

Ep 77: Morbius - This vampire movie has no bite!

April 07, 2022 23:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MB

  Today on the show, Michael reviews Morbius, the latest movie to come out of Sony studios. If you were hoping that Morbius would be an improvement on Sony’s Venom, prepare to be disappointed.  Many of the movies that have come out of Sony studios have been baffling in how terrible their story-lines are. With their wealth of resources and talent, you’d hope that they’d dedicate some portion to creating an original and engaging story. Instead, it repeats the worst mistakes we’ve seen in sup...

Giant Panda Movie - Turning Red Review

March 31, 2022 04:00 - 50 minutes - 34.5 MB

In this episode, Denise and Michael sit down to review the latest Pixar release, Turning Red. A touching and progressive film, Turning Red tells the story of puberty through the experiences of Mei-lin, a 13-year old girl, who keeps turning into a big red panda whenever she gets excited! The film uses this looming metaphor to explore the discomfort and embarrassment that is so common in those years, and for the most part, achieves its emotionally complex goals.

Ep 75: The Batman Spoiler Review

 Episode: Show Notes. The new Batman film directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz has received a lot of attention and acclaim from critics and audiences since its release. An even more gloomy and hopeless noir about the world of Gotham City and the Dark Knight, it can be argued that The Batman does not even feel like a superhero film. Continuing the trajectory of the Christopher Nolan films and more recently Joker, the increased realism can definitely be seen a...

The Role that was worth slapping for - King Richard Review

January 22, 2022 02:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MB

King Richard stars Will Smith as Richard Williams, the father of Venus and Serena Williams. The film deals with the struggles that Richard faced as he guided and mentored the girls through the harsh path to becoming the 2 biggest sports icons of all time. I discuss whether this film is another trash biopic that fails to capture the spirit of its real-life counterparts like Bohemian Rhapsody or a fun and inspirational love letter . Support the show
