Critters 2 The Main Course (1988)
July 05, 2021 16:23 - 1 hour - 60.4 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the 1988's Critters 2: The Main Course. Critter eggs survive a trip from the farm to the main town of Grover's Bend. Zaniness ensues. Mick Garris, the Master of Horror himself, directs and co-writes Critters 2: The Main Course. Mostly taking place in broad daylight compared to the first film, Critters 2 makes use of its Easter setting for a variety of social and religious satire. There are real stakes here and even a romance betw...
Movies Based on Jobs We've Had

Critters (1986)
June 12, 2021 18:47 - 1 hour - 67.2 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the original Critters movie from 1986. Roly poly aliens with a bite crash a family farm to feast on humans. The feature directorial debut of Stephen Herek (The Mighty Ducks, Holy Man), Critters leans heavier on science-fiction at the start before turning into a contained horror action film set on a family farm. There is a sense of humor to the proceedings, but there's also more blood in this than the Gremlins movie. Sequelcast...
Mortal Kombat (2021)
June 06, 2021 21:41 - 1 hour - 67.7 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie. Sonya Blade (Jessica McNamee) and Cole Young (Lewis Tan) have to travel to Gary, Indiana to set free Kano (Josh Lawson) so they can uncover their true potential. In the works for a few decades (including once as a direct sequel to Mortal Kombat: Annihilation), this reboot of the Mortal Kombat Cinematic Universe is a prequel to the titular tournament. Compared to the 1990s duology, this is a dull ser...
Lost Films
May 23, 2021 20:55 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Alex discuss lost films and TV episodes. Sometimes the original director's cut of a movie never gets released! Other times, the film never comes out period. Among the lost films discussed are Jerry Lewis' The Day The Clown Cried, Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons, and Mel Brooks' Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)
May 10, 2021 00:31 - 52 minutes - 48.2 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Armies both good and evil battle to claim the dwarven treasure. Starring Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee, and Cate Blanchett. The finale to the stuffed Hobbit trilogy, director Peter Jackson does provide on the epic battle front. Things hurry along a bit too much towards the ending, and the fate of a few characters are ignored outright in the theatrical c...
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)
May 01, 2021 15:12 - 1 hour - 73.6 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Bilbo is convinced to burgle by a cadre of dwarves and a wizard. Starring Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ian McKellen, and Cate Blanchett. A meandering middle chapter in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit Trilogy, Desolation of Smaug features less of the titular dragon than you might think. If you can track it down, the Extended Version fills out some gaps in the story. The s...
Random Questions
April 25, 2021 04:40 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher ask each other random questions about film and TV. Whether it's documentary features mutating into long miniseries or Disney features that should be adapted to Broadway, this is a rambling discussion on topics you may not have even thought of before!

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) (GUEST: Jonathan Dunn of Our Three Cents Podcast)
April 15, 2021 14:20 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, Alex Miller and special guest Jonathan Dunn (host of the Our Three Cents podcast) discuss The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Bilbo is convinced to burgle by a cadre of dwarves and a wizard. Starring Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Christopher Lee, Ian McKellen, and Cate Blanchett. The first in a trilogy (!!!) of movies based off The Hobbit, Peter Jackson returns to the directing chair as he tries to pad out and insert forced links to his beloved live...
Vegas Vacation (1997)
April 08, 2021 13:46 - 1 hour - 57 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Vegas Vacation. A family goes to Las Vegas and zaniness ensues. Starring Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Ethan Embry, Marisol Nichols, Randy Quaid, Wayne Newton, and Sid Caesar. Vegas Vacation is a bit long in the tooth, but Randy Quaid reprising his role as Uncle Eddie helps things greatly. Although Vegas is more limited in scope than the original or European Vacation, it offers enough sites to see and wacky antics to make this a bit funnier t...
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
March 30, 2021 13:52 - 1 hour - 62.2 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Terminator: Dark Fate. Grace is sent from the future to protect Dani from the Rev-9, a new model of Terminator. Starring Linda Hamilton, Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, Gabriel Luna, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yet another attempt to launch a new trilogy of Terminator films, Terminator: Dark Fate has series creator James Cameron involved with the screenplay for the first time since T2: Judgment Day. It's too little, too late. Alt...
Psycho (1998)
March 22, 2021 03:05 - 54 minutes - 50 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the 1998 Psycho remake. Norman Bates (Vince Vaughn) runs a motel and kills tenants once in a while. Controversial at the time for being a remake of a stone cold classic of the horror genre, Gus Van Sant's Psycho is a mostly shot for shot remake with some dreamlike imagery slapped in during certain scenes to make it more surreal. Vince Vaughn isn't able to walk the line between threatening and charming; he just comes off as eccen...
Psycho 4: The Beginning
March 14, 2021 16:51 - 1 hour - 59 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Psycho IV: The Beginning. Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) calls into a talk radio show about serial killers and tells the host Fran Ambrose (CCH Pounder) all about his twisted childhood. Made for Showtime and directed by horror maven Mick Garris (Critters 2), this is the only Psycho sequel written by Joseph Stefano, the screenwriter of the original. The modern day wraparound plot is a bit weak, but it's nice to see Anthony Perkins...
Bates Motel (1987)
March 07, 2021 22:39 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Bates Motel. Norman Bates is dead but leaves most of his inheritance to Alex West (Bud Cort), a youth he befriended at the asylum. Can Alex and Willie (Lori Petty) make enough money to pay their first month's mortgage at the Bates Motel? A backdoor pilot to a TV series, this awful TV movie takes a loose connection to the films and runs it into the ground. While writer and director Richard Rothstein has some chops being a writer a...
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
February 20, 2021 19:52 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. A family reunion over the holidays leads to a shitter being full. Easily the best in the series, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation has heart along with the extreme gags. There are some references to the first film, the kids are different as always, and it has smaller stakes. Aside from driving and sledding, most of this movie takes place at the Griswold home. Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of th...
Psycho III (1986)
February 20, 2021 19:45 - 1 hour - 68.4 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Psycho III. Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) is let out of an insane asylum for good behavior, but can he return to normalcy without wanting to kill Bates Motel tenants again? Although many critics labeled Psycho 3 as too camp, its giallo influenced lighting and more grisly murders make this the most violent film in the series. Anthony Perkins makes his feature directing debut with Psycho III and nails it on the acting and visual l...
Psycho II (1983)
February 14, 2021 23:54 - 1 hour - 65.8 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Psycho 2. Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) is let out of an insane asylum for good behavior, but can he return to normalcy without wanting to kill Bates Motel tenants again? An intellectual kind of sequel, Psycho II leans heavily on psychology and character dynamics. By the time we get to the end, there are a few too many plot twists. Perkins is excellent here as is a young Meg Tilly and a middle-aged Dennis Franz. Sequelcast 2 a...
The Dark Crystal (1983)
February 14, 2021 23:40 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Sierra's Hi-Res Adventure #6, The Dark Crystal. Based on the original feature film directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, game designer Roberta Williams designed a game that sticks closely to the movie. While it's easier to play than earlier Hi-Res Adventures, it's also missing a big scope and, well, a sense of adventure. A recent abridged remake of the game was created to loosely tie in with the The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance prequel Netf...
Rocky V Workprint Cut (GUEST: Mike Kunda Star of The Pretender and Author of Cue The Rocky Music)
February 06, 2021 16:29 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, Alex Miller and special guest Mike Kunda (star of The Pretender, author of Cue The Rocky Music: A Memoir, and founder and guide for the Yo, Philly! Rocky Film Tour) discuss the rare Rocky V Workprint Cut. They also dive into how his life led him to be a Rocky impersonator so great that a documentary (The Pretender) was made after him! Although the Rocky V Workprint Cut is in rough shape from what is likely a VHS master copy, it tends to have better act...
National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985)
February 01, 2021 04:54 - 56 minutes - 51.4 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss National Lampoon's European Vacation. A family goes to Europe and causes mayhem. A bit less dark than the first entry, National Lampoon's European Vacation has a bigger scope but fewer laughs. Despite her comic chops (Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Johnny Dangerously), director Amy Heckerling does a bit of whiff here. Not awful, but not great either. Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Greenlit Podcast Network Follow the show on Twitter...
National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)
February 01, 2021 04:50 - 59 minutes - 54.3 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss National Lampoon's Vacation. A family gets yelled at by their father in the car during a long car trip across the United States. Inspired by a John Hughes from National Lampoon magazine, National Lampoon's Vacation takes slapstick, a road trip film, and dysfunctional family dynamics into a solid comedy. Harold Ramis directs his funny comedy that drags a bit towards the end, but a small John Candy part helps round things out. Sequelcast 2 and...
Movie Trailers
January 24, 2021 19:42 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss their favorite movie trailers. Sometimes better than the movies themselves, movie trailers are an art form all their own.

Space Quest
January 24, 2021 19:34 - 1 hour - 56.9 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss the Space Quest PC game series. After the success of King's Quest, Sierra Online wanted a zillion games with Quest in the title. Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy launched a series of hilarious sci-fi sendups that put Spaceballs to shame. Its later titles are notable for having voice-acting, most notably Gary Owens as the pompous narrator.

Psycho (1960)
January 17, 2021 15:23 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the original Psycho movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock. A woman embezzles $40,000 and is on the run. Arguably Hitchcock's most well known film, Psycho adapts Robert Bloch's novel into a low budget black and white thriller that shocked audiences with its plot twists and violence. It's a bit of a slow burn at first, but establishing Marion's (Janet Leigh) paranoia helps win the audience on her side only to have it taken away after...
Super Mario Bros.
January 17, 2021 15:18 - 1 hour - 76.2 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss the first few Super Mario Bros. video games on the NES. While Mario made his start as Jumping Man in 1981's Donkey Kong, he eventually became Nitendo's mascot thanks to being the de facto pack-in cartridge for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. Light on plot, Super Mario Bros. instead focuses on the fantasy letting players control Mario and his friends through a series of surreal worlds featuring evil turtles, fish, and bullets. Over 3...
Get Him to the Greek (2010)
January 10, 2021 00:26 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Get Him to the Greek. A drugged up rock star is dragged by his talent scout to his big concert at the Greek Theatre. Focusing solely on the Aldous Snow character from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek is a raucous road movie with a rather dark father son story at its center. Its excellent soundtrack performed by star Russell Brand, who was a rock star himself in his early days, lampoons a variety of genres. This is a faster and...
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)
January 10, 2021 00:22 - 52 minutes - 48.5 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Forgetting Sarah Marshall. A man travels to Hawaii where he accidentally meets up with his ex-girlfriend. A romantic comedy lightened up by its Hawaiian setting, Forgetting Sarah Marshall combines heartbreak, a Dracula muppet musical, and a kind of love triangle into a mix that works better than one might expect. Jason Segel is good as a schlubby lead. Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Greenlit Podcast Network Follow the show on Twit...
Queen of the Damned (2002)
January 03, 2021 16:02 - 56 minutes - 51.4 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Queen of the Damned. An undead musician rises from the dead to start a mediocre goth band. Pulling in elements from The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned, this dopey sequel ignores large swaths of the book to make a generic early 2000s vampire movie. Aaliyah has some fun as the titular villain and Stuart Townsend looks the part of Lestat, but the loads of characters and flashbacks rush along a story that would be more appropriate for a m...
Best Christmas TV Specials
January 03, 2021 15:57 - 38 minutes - 35.7 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss their favorite TV Christmas specials. Apple TV+ had a recent controversy after acquiring exclusive rights to all Peanuts media, including the classic A Charlie Brown Christmas. After people complained this special was not going to air on broadcast TV as it has for decades, they worked out a deal to air it once on PBS ad free. Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Greenlit Podcast Network Follow the show on Twitter @Sequelcas...
Interview With The Vampire (1994)
December 27, 2020 15:45 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Interview With The Vampire. Based on Anne Rice's best-selling book that kicked off a slew of sequels and rip-offs, this heady movie combining of historical fiction, vampires, and queer romance nails the tone of the novel. It's gory, bloody, and campy, yet it works at balancing this tricky act. Brad Pitt is not great as Louis, but Tom Cruise really gets into the more showy role of Lestat. Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Greenlit Podcas...
A Chinese Ghost Story 3 (1991)
December 27, 2020 15:34 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss A Chinese Ghost Story III. Set a century after the original, A Chinese Ghost Story III features new characters but some of the same actors. To make things a bit more confusing, it also revisits locations from the original film. Ching Siu-tung goes for more of a comedic bent than the other flicks in the series. It's not the worst thing ever, but it feels so unnecessary. Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Greenlit Podcast...
A Chinese Ghost Story 2 (1990)
December 19, 2020 14:52 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss A Chinese Ghost Story II. Picking up a few years after the original, Ning (Leslie Cheung) escapes from prison only to find a woman Windy (Joey Long) who looks remarkably like his love Siu Sin from the first movie. While the original was a legitimate romance, this one feels more like Ghostbusters with its focus on the monsters. Its overall tone is much sillier. Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Greenlit Podcast Network ...
The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone (2020)
December 19, 2020 14:44 - 46 minutes - 43 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. Director Francis Ford Coppola returns to the maligned The Godfather Part III 30 years later to recut it to closer fit his original vision. Unlike a lot of director's cuts, this one runs shorter than the original. Aside from the different opening and ending to the film, several scenes are trimmed down and reordered while different music cues are added. If you're not a fan of Th...
Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)
December 12, 2020 19:41 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Gremlins 2: The New Batch. A man's former pet follows him into his high-tech workplace in the big city to cause further havoc. More zany than the original, Gremlins 2: The New Batch has more gags than an issue of MAD Magazine. Cameos abound and the variety of Gremlins will make your head spin. Some prefer this to the original. Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Greenlit Podcast Network Follow the show on Twitter @Sequelcast2 Like our...
Gremlins (1984) (GUEST: Chris Walsh)
December 12, 2020 19:37 - 1 hour - 57.8 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Gremlins with fan of the show Chris Walsh. A father (Hoyt Axton) gets his son (Zach Galligan) a pet with deadly consequences. Although originally conceived as an R-rated horror movie, Gremlins became more of a suburban fable. Although darker than its sequel, this has more of a family movie vibe. Jerry Goldsmith's score is very enjoyable. Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Greenlit Podcast Network Follow the show on Twitter @Sequelcast...
A Little Deb Will Do Ya (GUEST: AL JEAN CO-CREATOR OF THE CRITIC AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF THE SIMPSONS)
December 05, 2020 21:46 - 1 hour - 64.7 MBAfter Mat interviews Al Jean (co-creator of The Critic and Executive Producer of The Simpsons) about the first season of The Critic, hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss A Little Deb Will Do Ya, the fifth episode of The Critic. Jay Sherman helps his sister Margo prepare for the debutante ball. There are some nice moments between Jay and Margo here. Much like The Simpsons, the sister tends to get a bit of the short shrift. Humphrey the Hippo, a parody of the once popular Barney t...
Time Zone (1982)
December 05, 2020 21:38 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Time Zone (Hi-Res Adventure #5). Save the world by traveling through time. A magnum opus of sorts for Roberta Williams, Time Zone originally shipped on six double sided floppies with a retail price of $99. Sales were poor and so was the gameplay. Sierra would later gain infamy in the 1990s for shipping a game on a lot of discs (CDs this time) with Phantasmagoria's 7 CD-ROMs! Time Zone proves that just because you want to be ambitious doesn't...
A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)
November 29, 2020 15:08 - 1 hour - 60.2 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the original A Chinese Ghost Story movie. Inspired by a short story from Pu Songling's Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, A Chinese Ghost Story weaves a fable mixing the comedy, action, horror, and musical genres into a charming motion picture. Director Ching Siu-tung's first massive hit, A Chinese Ghost Story tells an intimate story of a bumbling tax collector who stays in a haunted temple because it's free lodging. He go...
8K + 4K UHD in Theaters and At Home
November 29, 2020 14:53 - 1 hour - 72.8 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the current trend of home video and gaming going from HD (720P, 1080P) to UHD (4K, 8K). According to analysis from Decision Data, Internet bandwidth in the United States is ranked 11th in the world. As the world economy shifts more to remote work, Internet speed is faster than ever, but is it enough to be able to stream huge amounts of data when watching movies or, even more challenging a task, games? We discuss our first enco...
The Crow: Wicked Prayer (2005)
November 21, 2020 19:31 - 1 hour - 58.1 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Crow: Wicked Prayer. A crow revives a murdered man to get revenge on the Satanists that killed him. Based on the tie-in novel by Norman Partridge, The Crow: Wicked Prayer to its credit tries to shake things up a bit. It takes about half its running time before killing off the main character and turning him into The Crow. A southwest trailer park setting is different than the smoky cities of the prior films. The campy lead ba...
Clerks 2 (2006)
November 21, 2020 19:29 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Clerks II. Desperate for work, Dante and Randall start to flip burgers for Mooby's and wonder what went wrong with their lives. Kevin Smith returns to his roots with Clerks II. Featuring a mixture of crude humor and soap opera confessions, Clerks II has Smith on surer footing than the reviled Jersey Girl. Rosario Dawson brings a lot to the cast as the romantic interest. Things meander a bit towards the ending, but the ending is sentimental i...
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
November 15, 2020 01:33 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. A celebration of Kevin Smith's ahead of its time rabid online fanbase, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back takes its inspiration from The Muppet Movie. A road flick about the toking twosome driving from New Jersey to California to stop a Hollywood movie of Bluntman & Chronic from being made, this masturbatory movie wears out its welcome a little bit. Featuring notable cameos from Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Will Fe...
Movies We're Watching During Quarantine
November 15, 2020 01:29 - 45 minutes - 42 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss movies we're watching during quarantine. With movie theaters closed across the United States, your faithful hosts have been watching more streaming content than usual. They go from the normal to the bizarre and back again. Think of it as a super extended "Watcha Watchin'?" segment. Enjoy!

The Crow: Salvation (2000)
November 08, 2020 14:36 - 1 hour - 60.2 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Crow: Salvation. After Alex Corvis (Eric Mabius) gets the electric chair for a crime he didn't commit, he tracks down and murders those actually responsible. Loosely based on the tie-in novel The Crow: The Lazarus Heart by Poppy Z. Brite, The Crow: Salvation mixes up the formula a bit with its crooked cops angle. Eric Mabius is a bit bland as this movie's Crow, but Kirsten Dunst brings it as Erin Randall, the sister of the m...
Sean Connery In Memorian (1954-2012)
November 08, 2020 14:27 - 53 minutes - 49.3 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the career of the late Sean Connery. After a three-year stint in the Royal Navy, Connery placed third in the 1950 Mr. Universe contest. After making friends with Michael Caine, he took a greater interest in acting. Aside from playing the first James Bond on the silver screen, his notable films include Hunt for the Red October, The Man Who Would Be King, The Name of the Rose, and The Untouchables, to name a few. His final role wa...
Sean Connery In Memorian (1954-2020)
November 08, 2020 14:27 - 53 minutes - 49.3 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the career of the late Sean Connery. After a three-year stint in the Royal Navy, Connery placed third in the 1950 Mr. Universe contest. After making friends with Michael Caine, he took a greater interest in acting. Aside from playing the first James Bond on the silver screen, his notable films include Hunt for the Red October, The Man Who Would Be King, The Name of the Rose, and The Untouchables, to name a few.

The Crow: City of Angels (1996)
October 30, 2020 14:16 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Crow: City of Angels. Ashe Corven (Vincent Pérez) rises from the dead courtesy of a crow to take vengeance upon the gang that killed him. One of many direct-to-video sequels that are basically loose remake of the original The Crow, The Crow: City of Angels works as well as a bad photocopy. Again, the bad guys are rather interesting with Richard Brooks, Thuy Trang, Iggy Pop, Thomas Jane, and Vincent Castellanos bringing some f...
Dogma (1999)
October 30, 2020 14:11 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Dogma. Fallen angels Bartleby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon) start an apocalypse. Originally promised in the credits of Clerks as Kevin Smith's next film, Dogma is a comedy that digs deep into Biblical lore. One of Smith's higher grossing films, Dogma's killer cast and thoughtful story combines the holy and the profane into a fun mix. The more you know about the Bible, the funnier this is. Judge Not...In Defense of DOGMA, a feature-lengt...
The Crow (1994)
October 21, 2020 14:15 - 1 hour - 70.5 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Crow. After a man and his girlfriend are murdered, the man comes back to life to get revenge. Based on the indie comic by James O'Barr, The Crow combined moody goth visuals with a simple revenge story into one slick feature. Director Alex Proyas uses aggressive editing, brief flashbacks, and a good sense of pacing to drive the movie along. It's a shame Brandon Lee died onset in a horrible accident. This movie would have cata...
A Year of Disney Plus
October 21, 2020 14:10 - 1 hour - 68.4 MBHosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss their thoughts on Disney+ after roughly one year of using the popular streaming service. There are both good and bad things to the service. It's nice it has nearly every animated Disney feature, but many special features from the DVDs are missing. Original programming can be hit (The Mandalorian, The World According to Jeff Goldblum) or miss (Marvel Studios: Expanding the Universe, Noelle). Plenty of legacy TV shows are missing,...
