Ep #276 - Shin Godzilla

We're back from hiatus and boy have we got the movie to kick off our return. Given that there's a new godzilla movie on the horizon we thought it would be great to talk about the 2016 Shin Godzilla produced by Toho and Cine Bazar. And what a treat it is.

RERUN - Ep #202 - Why Don't You Play In Hell

Howdy folks, Jonathan here with a little update. To give Bryan and Chewie a little more time off I extended the hiatus by a week and went into our back catalog to share one of my favorite episodes of the podcast: Why Don't You Play In Hell by Japanese filmmaker Sion Sono. On recommendation by Bryan and Chewie and for the podcast I gave this film a shot and it won me over completely with its black comedy and excessive violence. I hope you check it out!

RERUN - Ep #103 - The Babadook

We're still in hiatus this week so we thought it would be interesting to go back to our episode on THE BABADOOK, one of the best horror films of the last decade. Chewie was here to help us dissect what makes this movie so dang great, as was friend of the show Hunter and newcomer Donnacha. It's worth noting that we had Donnacha call in over the internet, so his audio quality is a little low. Apologies in advance. It's the Babadook's fault. SHOWNOTES: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?

Ep #273 - A Fish Called Wanda (Mini Episode)

This week it's a more intimate podcast as Bryan and Chewie talk about A Fish Called Wanda...all from the comfort of their marital bed! The film sports a stellar cast, including John Cleese, Michael Palin, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Kevin Kline, who practically steals the show. An overall fun romp, the likes of which don't get made today.

Ep #272 - Inspector Gadget and Green Lantern

This week on the podcast it's just Bryan and Jon as they talk about Inspector Gadget and Green Lantern, two movies that were widely hated and that ended up damaging or altering the careers of their main actors. They delve into the similarities between the films as well as what worked and what didn't. It's a fun, smaller episode that you won't want to miss. THEME MUSIC COURTESY BRADLEY DAVID PARSONS

Ep #271 - Bohemian Rhapsody

Scaramouche? Galileo? Beelzebub? We grapple with the disappointing Bohemian Rhapsody this week on the podcast and try to make sense of what went wrong and why this couldn't have just been a movie about Freddie Mercury and Bowie creating "Under Pressure."

Ep #270 - Anna and the Apocalypse

You know what zombie films could use? Christmas and musical numbers. That's what we've got with this week's movie ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE. Friend of the show Makaela Newsome joins us to talk about this fun, if flawed film. A good time all around, and one we have a heck of a time discussing.

Ep #269 - Roma

This week on the podcast we take on Roma, Alfonso Cuaron's Oscar contender (and winner for Best Director, Best Cinematography, and Best Foreign Language Film) that has us wondering if we even saw the same movie. Graham Mason joins us to go over why it wasn't as impressive as the hype would lead you to believe. There are some great moments in here, but they're hidden within many a baffling choice.

Ep #267 - IMDB Bottom 100 Battle

Ep #267 - IMDB Bottom 100 Battle

This week it's a battle of the bad as we fight over which film in the bottom 100 of IMDb reigns supreme. Will it be the wacky Arnold Schwarzenegger flick, or will it be the sequel to the first Mortal Kombat. Maybe it will be the one with all the piranhas, or perhaps it will be the one where Nicolas Cage burns in a tall wooden statue. Guess you'll just have to listen to find out.

Ep #266 - Couples Movie Night

Due to some timey-wimey scheduling conflicts and the convenient arrival of Valentine's day we're trying something a little different. It's a Couples Movie Night episode featuring OG hosts Bryan and Chewie, each sharing a movie with each other and then talking about it. Chewie's pick is Virtuosity, and Bryan's pick is Titan A.E. It's a shorter episode than you might be used to, but no less fun, and there's speculation on whether or not Jonathan is a cuddler. SHOWNOTES: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?

This week on the podcast we have a bit of a Predator problem. Namely, that the new Predator movie is called THE PREDATOR. You'd think after enough of these movies they would want to reduce the confusion, not add to it. Anyway, this movie is a bit of a mess so we brought in friend of the show Erik Steffens to help us figure out what worked and what didn't. SHOWNOTES: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?
