Geek Mentality

I've been a big fan of Bob Odenkirk since Mr. Show (and even before that with the Ben Stiller show, though I didn't realize it until years later) - so of course when I saw he was starring in his own action movie I knew I was going to see it and I knew I was going to enjoy it even before I watched one second of it. I wasn't wrong. And I wasn't alone. So when I saw they were doing a...

It's Day 11, and naturally this is there is where Movie Month goes to 11!? Yes, the band is back together for one (final?) big show in "Spinal Tap II: The End Continues," and there was a smile attached to my face for the entire (not very long) movie. Very bittersweet seeing Rob Reiner on the last thing he worked on, but it was also just great to see these four comedic legends just seam...

It's been a long time since I've seen a Predator movie - but when I did, it of course was for an old Movie Month episode ! Finally, finally, finally I watched the 2022 film, Prey. I have a sneaking suspicion that this won't be the last Predator movie I see this year - but you'll have to stick around all month to know for sure! As for today, the only question I have is - what took m...

This has been on my list since I first saw the trailer for it a couple years ago. I completely forgot about it last year so I made sure to have it on my list for this year! And now I can finally listen to the Cult Film Club episode on it that's been in my podcast app for years too! And, this isn't the first time I've looked forward to an episode of CFC related to a Movie Month movie! S...

It's week two already!? Well, it's been too long since I watched a movie that is part of a franchise - nearly 48 hours! So of course I had to fix that by going back into the Final Destination well. These movies are basically comedies now, and this one was fairly gruesome, fairly dumb and silly, and while it's not a good movie - it was an okay Final Destination movie. And after realizin...

Finally, for the first time this month I watched a movie that is not a sequel or reboot or part of a larger franchise, and quite frankly it might be my favorite movie thus far. That's right, I say "thus" whilst I talk. That's also right, I say "whilst" as well. I am a huge Survivor fan, which first got me interested in this movie - but it was the great performances by Rache...

It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day. Wait that was a different story for a different year. A goodyear? No, the worst. And if you understood that reference - then today's movie is perfect for you because I am back with yet another sequel...

Happy Friday, movie fans! It's the first Friday of Movie Month and once again I went back into the franchise well - this time watching my third SCREAM movie of Movie Month. That first one is a classic . I pretty much hated Scream 4 . And with the reboot, I think they started off okay and have just gotten progressively worse. Do you like scary movies? I do. Good ones though. This one? Oofa boof...

If you're not a Marvel fan, cheer up because I'm officially caught up and this is the last MCU movie for 2026. But, c'mon - how could I not devote DAY FOUR to this movie? It was as if it was written in the stars - and there were a lot of stars in this movie. Or soon to be stars. Well that is until they meet their - Doom.

Look, let me get this out of the way right off the bat - I love The Conjuring movies . I do. I love the entire franchise. I've seen all (okay well there is kinda sorta one that I have yet to see , by this same director). But the ones I've seen - Conjuring, Nun, Annabelle - I love them. They're not high art, but they're not B-movie schlock either. They're just very good at knowi...

Welcome back, movie nerds! Part of this project that I started so long ago was to finally watch movies or to keep up with movie series that I've been meaning to see. But sometimes, this project has me waiting on movies. Movies that I could have watched much earlier. I enjoy the Marvel movies for what they are - and naturally some are better than others - but for the most part, whenever they co...

Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends! Well, unless you count the months I take off in between shows – but the one that started it all – MOVIE MONTH – is back for a brand new year with a brand new website ! And tonight, I am kicking off year 13 with one of if the biggest franchises in movie history, STAR WARS! In fact this is the second time I’ve kicked off a Movie Month with a Sta...

Great Scot!! We did it, Buttheads! I know this is heavy, but another successful Marchy McFly is in the books! Thirty-one podcasts over thirty-one days, all talking about Back to the Future Part II , and all I can say is - thank you! Thank you to everyone who listened, who liked, who commented, and who shared! Let's do it again next March, shall we?

Happy Penultimate Monday, McFriends! Yes, this is the second to last episode of Marchy McFly this year! It's crazy to think that we've been together for 30 straight days and now there is only one to go after today. Then we'll be apart like Marty and Doc are by the end of today's part of the movie! But much like the characters get back together, we will as well soon enough....Until...

Happy Sunday, McButtheads! There are only a few minutes left in this movie which means there are only a few days left in Marchy McFly ! I can't believe we're almost through another month long adventure together! Today I talk about a couple newspapers, a matchbook, and wonder why Biff never discusses the fact that he saw a teenage boy hanging from a flying spaceship?

I am home! Yes ladies and gentleman my journey from driving my mother-in-law from Florida to Massachusetts ended today! Here is the pic I meant to post the other day when I recorded some audio poolside in Florida, only for it to sound like crap and scrapping it: Ah, I remember that guy. So happy. So full of life. It’s surprising what three straight days of driving can do to you. Anywho, today on ...

Today’s episode of  Marchy McFly  was done. It was over. I recorded it hours and and was putting the finishing touches on it. This was the original title was  MARCHY McFLY 6: “You Think That Stupid Disguise Would Get By Me?” (27 of 31)  and the original image was this: But, then I received word from  former/future guest Chris  that actor  James Tolkan , mostly remembered for Top Gun and even more...

Greetings, McTravelers! Today marked day one of my traversing up the eastern seaboard of the United States with my mother-in-law and her dog! I am currently typing this in a dark Quality Inn motel room in Walterboro, South Carolina. Never trust a motel by the adjective in its name. I was able to record today's Marchy McFly after a long day of driving - to the point where I forgot what day it w...

Hello again from McFlorida! During these road trips home, Wednesdays are generally the buffer day. I fly in on Tuesdays, we start the drive on Thursdays - but Wednesdays are the day I don't do much. Of course I help my mother-in-law pack up her car, and we get ready to shove of in the morning, but most of the day is fairly chill - even the dinner with her and her two brothers (picture Steve Gu...

Greetings from sunny McFlorida! Yes this morning I got to the airport in Boston way too early so on today's Marchy McFly , you will hear from me from my gate hours before departing, and then later I thought you would hear from me poolside before taking my book into the pool with me. I definitely recorded it - but apparently my bluetooth headphones were on and acting as the microphone even thou...

Happy Monday McListeners! Today is the last Marchy McFly before I head off to Florida until Saturday. I really have no idea how the episodes from Tuesday through Friday will turn out - but that's part of the fun, I think! Or, I think? Oh and I found something new that I now love and will enjoy every time I see and hear it going forward with this movie.

Happy Sunday, McFriends! Today on Marchy McFly , I have to admit - the segment wasn't all that dazzling. I do talk a little more about the novelization, which I finished today. I also talk about re-listening to an old episode of the I Read Movies podcast that covers the novelizations of both sequels, and I found a clip of Elijah Wood in a recent interview talking a little about Back to the Fut...

Happy Saturday, Dorks (it fits I swear)! Today on Marchy McFly , I talk about an article mentioning a "star" from this movie with Sir Elton John , talk a little more about the novelization, a very real football game , and crush a parody of a meme. I love thinking about these movies - and probably will be for life ...

Happy Friday, Buttheads! Today on Marchy McFly we finally find ourselves in 1955, back to the best part of this movie. And, even though the image is (slightly) different, apparently I thought this episode title was perfect to use back in 2022 ! But, I am pretty positive I've repeated a lot more than that over these past 20 days! When people say history repeats itself, they weren't kidding!

Happy Thursday fellow film fans! Today starts the NCAA March Madness tournament, and it wasn't until about 5 minutes ago that I remember that I did my own Marchy McMadness , complete with bracket, a couple years back to rank the episodes of the animated series. Ah those were dark times. But not as dark as today's Marchy McFly clip where Marty finds out the terrible thing that really happen...
